Stewardship
Reflecting on God’s Word
Solemnity of Christ the King
Poli cal power meets spiritual power in
today’s conversa on between Jesus and
Pilate. “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Pilate asks Jesus (John 18:33). Pilate is
concerned about whether Jesus is a
threat to Roman rule, just as the Jewish
leaders see Jesus as a threat to their
authority. Jesus is thus either guilty of
fomen ng insurrec on as a militant
messiah or of speaking blasphemy by
presen ng himself as one who
inaugurates the reign of God.
Jesus, however, speaks not about himself
as a king but about a kingdom that “does
not belong to this world” (John 18:36).
This kingdom may not be of this world but
it is in this world. God’s kingdom is
present in Jesus as one who comes to
bear witness to the truth. And what is this
truth? That “God so loved the world that
he gave his only Son, so that everyone
who believes in him might not perish but
might have eternal life” (John 3:16).
Jesus is the Word become flesh who
made his dwelling among us, so that we
might see his glory, “the glory of the
Father’s only Son, / full of grace and
truth” (John 1:14). The hour of glory was
the hour of the cross, the hour not of
poli cal power, but God’s power shining
through human weakness, bringing light
into the darkness, revealing selfsacrificing love so that we might have life.
Poli cal power tends to be an upward
climb into dominance and authority that
must be protected at all costs. It
frequently leads to isola on and abuse, to
clinging to power as its own end. Spiritual
power is having the strength to trust God
and surrender so that God can reign, not
by conquest or poli cal alliances, but
through human weakness and surrender
to God.

Welcome Amy Glenane, Director of Parish Life
Hello! My name is Amy Glenane and I am excited to be joining the
parish staff as Director of Parish Life! My husband, Peter, and I have
been parishioners at St. Norbert for 13 years and we have five children.
During our me here, I have been involved with the Mother’s Group,
Elizabeth Ministry, and serve as director of our summer Vaca on Bible
School. Prior to coming to St. Norbert, I worked as a youth minister in
the Diocese of Orange, then took some me off to be home with my children. My
youngest daughter just began kindergarten, so I’m looking forward to returning to parish
ministry and serving this wonderful community!
As Director of Parish Life, I will begin by focusing on three areas:
 Hospitality: from coffee & donuts on Sundays to organizing parish-wide events
 Welcoming: reaching out to new parishioners in an effort to make them feel at
home, connect them to ministries, and encourage them to get involved
 Stewardship: engaging parishioners to share their gi s in service to others
Please contact me if you’d like to serve on our new Hospitality or Welcoming Committees! I’d
also love to talk with any of you who feel as though you’d like to be more involved in the
parish, but just don’t know how. I am here to serve you and help meet the needs of all
parishioners…but I can’t do that without knowing what those needs are! I look forward to
meeting you and growing in faith together! Please pray for me and I will do the same for you.
I can be reached at (714) 637-4360 x399 or [email protected] My office is
located in the Rectory building and my hours are Monday-Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Referendum Petition to Reverse Doctor Assisted Suicide
Please stop and sign the referendum pe on \a er Mass today. The goal is to get enough
signatures to have California voters vote on a referendum next year to reverse the doctor
assisted suicide law. The following are some reasons to oppose the new law.
What's wrong with legalizing physician-assisted suicide?  It makes doctors into killers, destroying the medical ethic of “Do no harm.”
 It victimizes the disabled, elderly, and chronically ill by providing poison instead of care.
 It ex nguishes what can be a person’s most meaningful days at the end of life.
 It defies protec ng human life, which is the founda on of legi mate government.
 It has no real safeguard against abuse.
 It is the path to euthanasia as seen in Nazi Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
 It defies the commandment “You shall not kill,” which includes taking one's own life.

What was Happening in the Fourth Century?
Even with the affirma on of Trinitarian theology in the Creed of
Nicaea, and the formal condemna on of Arius, Arianism did not
disappear from the Roman Empire. As the Emperor Constan ne
approached his death on May 22, 337, he called for a priest who
was a distant rela ve to bap ze him. Bishop Eusebius of
Nicomedia who administered the bap sm was an Arian bishop at
that me of the See of Nicomedia, where the royal court was
located.
Constan ne was succeeded by three of his sons, Constan us II as
Emperor of the East, Constans and Constan ne II as Co-Emperors
of the West. Constan us, who also embraced Arian teachings,
deposed the Trinitarian Bishop of Constan nople, Paulus I, who
fled to Rome, and installed Eusebius as Bishop of Constan nople.
Eusebius, a man of power mongering and intrigue, contrived to
have the emperor depose other doctrinally Trinitarian Bishops,
among them Bishops Eustanthius of An och, Marcellus of Ancyra,
and the great opponent of Arius, Bishop Athanasius of Alexandria.
Upon Eusebius’ death in 341, both Paulus I and Athanasius
regained their Episcopal Sees, only to be deposed a second me
by the Emperor Constan us. Paulus regained his Office as Bishop
of Constan nople a er another 7½ years, only to be deposed a
third me within a year. He was taken prisoner and transported to
ci es throughout the Eastern Empire, finally ending in Cappadocia
where he was imprisoned and le to starve. A er a week with no
food or water his Arian enemies found him s ll alive, and ended
his life by strangula on. His body was taken first to Galacia, then,
by order of Emperor Theodosius moved to Constan nople and
buried in the Church of St. Paul in 381. His relics were again
disinterred and moved to Venice in 1226 where they remain in the
Church of St. Laurence. In the hagiography of the Church, Paulus is
known as St. Paul the Confessor, and his feast day is June 7.
During his 45 years as bishop, Athanasius was deposed and
reinstated five mes, o en amidst much bloodshed and suffering.
During his second exile, he wrote his famous Life of Anthony,
about the 3rd century desert hermit, the first Chris an biography.
Athanasius was falsely accused of crimes and suffered physical
and mental abuse at the hands of his Arian enemies, but he
stayed faithful to Trinitarian doctrine as defined at Nicaea. He died
peacefully in Constan nople a er his fi h reinstatement as its
Bishop, in 371. Athanasius is recognized as a Saint by the Roman
Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Cop c, and Lutheran Churches. He
has been named a Doctor of the Church, and is referred to as the
Father of Orthodoxy. The wri ngs of Athansius are considered
classics of theology.
In 355, Emperor Constan us appointed Julian as Emperor of the
West. Although born to a Chris an family and bap zed, Julian
renounced his Chris an faith and desired to return the Roman
Empire to the worship of the classical Roman gods. Because of
this, history has known him as Julian the Apostate. He remained
Emperor for only two years, but during that me waged ba les
into Frankish and Gothic territories in an a empt to expand the
empire into new territories of northern Europe.
Julian was not the only one interested in the Franks and Goths.
Arian missionaries also were waging a spiritual ba le among these
pagan tribes to convert them to Arian Chris anity. They had some
measure of success, and by the fi h century when Arianism had
been mostly suppressed in the Roman and Eastern Churches, it
was alive and well among the barbarian tribes to the North, which
would bring it back with them during their invasions of the fi h
century. Arianism did not meet its end within the church un l the
seventh century, when the invasion of Arab tribes and the spread
of Islam frightened the Church into unifying against its perceived
enemy. Today elements of Arian theology, of Christ being a
crea on of the Father and not co-eternal and equal, can be found
in Mormon and Jehovah Witness teachings.

Ministerio Hispano
Reflexionemos sobre la
Palabra de Dios.
Solemnidad de Cristo Rey
El poder polí co se encuentra con el
poder espiritual en la conversación de
hoy entre Jesús y Pilato. “¿Eres tú el rey
de los judíos?”, le pregunta Pilato a Jesús
(Juan 18:33). A Pilato le inquieta que
Jesús pueda ser una amenaza para el
gobierno romano, así como los líderes
judíos ven en Jesús una amenaza a la
autoridad de ellos. Jesús, por su parte, ni
es culpable ni fomenta una insurrección
como un mesías militar, ni tampoco
blasfema presentándose como el que
inaugura el reino de Dios.
Jesús no se refiere a sí mismo como rey,
sino que habla de un reino que “no es de
este mundo” (Juan 18:36). Ese reino no
será de este mundo, pero está en este
mundo. El reino de Dios está presente en
Jesús, que viene a dar tes monio de la
verdad. Y, ¿cuál es esta verdad? Es que
“tanto amó Dios al mundo que le dio a su
Hijo único, para que todo el que crea en
él no perezca, sino que tenga vida
eterna” (Juan 3:16).
Jesús es la Palabra que se hizo carne para
habitar entre nosotros a fin de que
podamos ver su gloria, “la gloria propia
del Hijo único del Padre, lleno de gracia y
de verdad” (Juan 1:14). La hora de la
gloria fue la hora de la cruz; no fue la hora
del poder polí co, sino del poder de Dios
que ilumina la debilidad humana y trae la
luz a las nieblas, para revelar el amor
entregado del todo y así tengamos la
vida.
El poder polí co ende a ser un ascenso
hacia el dominio y la autoridad, que
deben protegerse a toda costa.
Frecuentemente lleva a la separación y al
abuso a fin de aferrarse al poder como
úl mo fin. El poder espiritual es tener la
fortaleza para confiar en Dios y cederle el
paso al reino de Dios, no por medio de
conquistas ni coaliciones polí cas, sino a
través de las debilidades humanas y de la
entrega a Dios.
