November 23, 2014. The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
From Your Pastor
My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ:
The question or problem of suffering is one that has haunted man since reflective consciousness came into existence. Why is there suffering in the world? Why do some people seem to have lives of suffering more than others? Beneath this question is the question or problem of evil and that of free will. Recently, on Vatican Radio,
Monsignor Peter Fleetwood addressed the question of suffering by asking if God exists then why does He permit
cancer?
“(Vatican Radio) For another in his series 'Why Bother? Staying Catholic despite it all', Monsignor Peter Fleetwood tells us how one of the most taboo subjects is "the big C", cancer, which seems to have such a grip on us.
But people rarely talk about cancer. They hardly ever use the word, especially when talking about someone who
is living with it. Even when people are talking about someone with cancer, the word itself is often not mentioned.
But why is it so hard to speak about this disease? And again how is a Christian supposed to face a disease like cancer? Our instinct in the face of so much pain and humiliation is to scream at God, asking how a good God can allow it. Even when the anger is past, many give in to the temptation to jump from the impotence of the best doctors when it comes to cancer to the question: ‘why bother believing in God who lets this sort of thing happen?’
“Faith, Monsignor Fleetwood goes on to say, is meant to help us be more than just creatures of instinct, to see
beyond life's negatives, and even beyond the positives, to the basis of all life. And Christian faith has a remarkable
challenge in it: to believe that God, who is the basis of all life, is more powerful than everything negative we ever
come across. We are challenged to believe that God is more powerful than the most wicked person, more powerful than any horrendous sin that can be committed, more powerful than the most negative experience we can
ever have, and the worst of those is death. We may often wander into church for mass, and on Sundays we say the
words of the Creed, but how often do they sink in? Do you really believe Jesus rose from the dead? Because if you
do, there is nothing to fear.”
From my point of view, suffering is not only permitted by God because of the freedom God has given man, even
so far as to allow man to sin, but God has already redeemed suffering for mankind: suffering, when given to God,
becomes the opportunity for growth in relationship with God, mirrors the suffering of God for mankind, and actually begins to participate with God in Christ in His own self-donation, literally a pouring out, of Himself for the
union of Himself with man. Thus, our own suffering, when given to God, becomes not only a way of uniting
with God through the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ but also a way of uniting ourselves to the sufferings of
others, in whatever way they might suffer. Suffering, when given to God, is redeemed for us by God but also
becomes our participation in the redemption of others. To ask why God permits cancer is a permissible question,
but a much better question is “How can I make my suffering be a blessing for others?” Give your suffering to
Christ, and as Fr. Fleetwood said, “Because if you do, there is nothing to fear,” and in fact, much to be gained.

23 de Noviembre del 2014. La Solemnidad de Cristo Rey
Mensaje de Nuestro Párroco
Mis amados hermanos en Cristo:
La cuestión o el problema de sufrir es una de las cosas que más ha atormentado al hombre, cuando sucede la reflexión
consciente de la existencia. ¿Por qué hay sufrimiento en el mundo? ¿Por qué hay gente que vive una vida de sufrimiento
más que los demás? Detrás de esta pregunta está la cuestión o el problema de la maldad y el libre albedrio. Recientemente, en la radio del Vaticano, monseñor Peter Fleetwood se refirió a la cuestión del sufrimiento, preguntando si Dios
existe entonces, ¿por qué permite el cáncer?
“En otra de sus series (radio Vaticano) “¿por qué molestarse? Y ¿por qué ser católico después de todo?, monseñor Fleewood nos dice como uno de los mayores tabús es “la C” de cáncer, el cual parece tener un gran control sobre nosotros.
Pero la gente raramente habla acerca del cáncer. Muy poco usan esa palabra, especialmente cuando hablan de alguien
que está viviendo con cáncer. Inclusive, cuando la gente habla acerca de alguien con cáncer, la palabra no es a menudo
pronunciada. Pero, ¿por qué es tan difícil hablar acerca de esta enfermedad? Y otra vez, ¿cómo un cristiano se supone
que debe enfrentar una enfermedad como el cáncer? Nuestros instintos en frente de tanto dolor y humillación es un grito de súplica a Dios, preguntando porque un buen Dios puede permitir eso. Inclusive cuando la rabia pasa, muchos ceden a la tentación de saltar, ante la impotencia de los mejores médicos, a la pregunta: porque molestarnos en creer en
Dios que permite que cosas como esta pasen?”
“La fe –continua diciendo monseñor Fleetwood- es para ayudarnos a ser más que criaturas de instinto, para ver mas allá
de solamente los aspectos negativos de la vida, e inclusive mas allá de los positivos, de lo básico de la vida. Y la fe cristiana tiene un reto notable en esto: creer que Dios, que es la base de toda vida, es más poderoso que todas las cosas negativas que se nos pueden cruzar en la vida. Tenemos el desafío de creer que Dios es más poderoso que la persona más malvada. Más poderoso que el más horrendo pecado que pueda ser cometido, más poderoso que la más negativa experiencia que podamos tener, y lo peor de todo esto, la muerte. A menudo deambulamos dentro de la Iglesia en una misa y
los domingos decimos el Credo, ¿pero cuán a menudo nos metemos dentro de él? ¿Creen realmente que Jesús resucitó
entre los muertos? Porque si así lo creen, entonces no tienen nada que temer”.
Desde mi punto de vista, el sufrimiento no es permitido solamente por Dios, sino por la libertad que Dios le ha dado al
hombre, y mucho más lejos, hasta permitirle pecar, pero Dios ha redimido los sufrimientos de la humanidad: cuando el
sufrimiento es por Dios, se convierte en una oportunidad para crecer en una relación con Dios, ser espejos del sufrimiento de Dios por la humanidad, y comenzamos a participar con Dios en Cristo y su auto-donación, literalmente un
derramamiento de Él mismo para su unión con el hombre. Por lo tanto, nuestro sufrimiento cuando se le ofrece a Dios,
se convierte no solamente en una manera de unirnos a Dios a través de la Cruz y la resurrección de Jesucristo, sino también de unirnos con el sufrimiento de los demás, de cualquier manera en que ellos estén sufriendo. El sufrimiento, cuando se le ofrece a Dios, es redimido por Dios, pero también se convierte en una participación en la redención de los demás. Preguntarnos porque Dios permite el cáncer es normal, pero una mejor pregunta sería: “¿cómo puedo hacer que
mi sufrimiento sea una bendición para los demás? Al darle nuestro sufrimiento a Cristo, como dice monseñor Fleetwood, “no hay nada que temer”, de hecho, hay mucho más que ganar.

From Your Pastor
Qúy Ông Bà Anh Chị Em thân mến trong Chúa Kitô,
Câu hỏi hoặc vấn đề về đau khổ là một sự kiện đã và đang ám ảnh con người kể từ khi có ý thức suy niệm. Tại sao
có đau khổ trên thế giới? Tại sao một số người dường như có cuộc sống đau khổ hơn những người khác? Bên dưới
câu hỏi này là câu hỏi hoặc vấn đề của sự dữ và của ý chí tự do. Gần đây, trên đài phát thanh Vatican, Đức ông Peter
Fleetwood đã giải đáp câu hỏi về vấn đề đau khổ qua câu hỏi nếu Thiên Chúa hiện hữu thì tại sao Ngài cho phép
bệnh ung thư?
"(Đài phát thanh Vatican) Với một trong loạt bài của ông:" Tại sao bận tâm? Giữ đạo Công giáo mặc dù nó tất cả,
Đức Ông Peter Fleetwood cho chúng ta biết một trong những đề tài tránh né nhất là "C (Cancer)", tức là ung thư, mà
dường như nó cầm giữ chúng ta. Nhưng mọi người ít khi nói về bệnh ung thư. Họ hầu như không bao giờ sử dụng
các từ, đặc biệt là khi nói về một người đang có bệnh này. Ngay cả khi người ta đang nói về một người nào đó bị ung
thư, từ ngữ đó thường không được đề cập. Nhưng tại sao nó khó khăn như vậy để nói về căn bệnh này? Và lại nữa
một Kitô hữu phải đối mặt thế nào với một căn bệnh như ung thư? Bản năng của chúng ta trước quá nhiều đau đớn và
nhục nhã là kêu gào Thiên Chúa, đặt câu hỏi sao một Thiên Chúa tốt lành có thể cho phép nó xẩy đến. Ngay cả khi sự
tức giận đã qua, nhiều người rơi vào sự cám dỗ để nhảy từ sự bất lực của các bác sĩ tốt nhất khi đối diện với ung thư
qua câu hỏi: "tại sao bận tâm tin tưởng vào Thiên Chúa, Đấng cho phép các điều này xảy ra? '
"Đức tin, Đức ông Fleetwood đề cập tiếp, là phương cách giúp chúng ta nhiều hơn là những sinh vật bản năng, để
nhìn vượt qua những tiêu cực của cuộc sống, và ngay cả vượt ra ngoài những mặt tích cực, đến căn của tất cả đời
sống. Và đức tin Kitô giáo có một thách thức đáng kể: tin rằng Thiên Chúa, Đấng là căn bản của tất cả cuộc sống,
mạnh hơn tất cả mọi thứ tiêu cực, chúng ta từng trải qua. Chúng tôi được thách đố để tin rằng Thiên Chúa mạnh hơn
so với một người độc ác nhất, mạnh mẽ hơn bất kỳ tội lỗi khủng khiếp mà con người có thể vấp phạm, mạnh hơn so
với bất kỳ kinh nghiệm tiêu cực nào mà chúng ta có thể có, và tồi tệ nhất của những điều này là sự chết. Chúng ta có
thể thường lang thang vào nhà thờ dâng lễ, và vào ngày chủ nhật, chúng ta đọc Kinh Tin Kính, nhưng lời kinh đó
thấm nhập bao nhiêu vào tâm hồn chúng ta? Bạn có thực sự tin rằng Chúa Giêsu đã sống lại từ cõi chết? Bởi vì nếu
bạn tin như vậy, thì có gì phải sợ. "
Từ quan điểm của tôi, đau khổ không chỉ được cho phép bởi Thiên Chúa Trời vì sự tự do Chúa đã ban cho con người,
thậm chí ngay cả để cho con người phạm tội, nhưng Thiên Chúa đã cứu chuộc nhân loại qua đau khổ: đau khổ, khi
dâng cho Thiên Chúa, trở thành cơ hội cho sự phát triển mối quan hệ với Thiên Chúa, phản ánh sự đau khổ của Thiên
Chúa cho nhân loại, và thực sự bắt đầu tham gia với Thiên Chúa trong Chúa Kitô qua sự tự hiến của Ngài, nghĩa là
ban chính Ngài cho sự hiệp nhất giữa Ngài với con người. Như vậy, sự đau khổ của chúng ta, khi dâng cho Thiên
Chúa, trở thành không chỉ là một cách hiệp nhất với Thiên Chúa qua thập giá và sự sống lại của Chúa Giêsu Kitô mà
còn là một cách để đoàn kết chúng ta với những đau khổ của người khác, với bất cứ những đau khổ cách nào. Đau
khổ, khi dâng cho Thiên Chúa, để chuộc tội cho chúng ta bởi Thiên Chúa cũng trở thành sự tham gia của chúng ta
trong việc cứu chuộc người khác. Hỏi tại sao Thiên Chúa cho phép bệnh ung thư là một câu hỏi chính đáng nhưng
một câu hỏi tốt hơn là "Làm thế nào tôi có thể làm cho đau khổ của tôi trở phúc lành cho những người khác?" Hãy
dâng đau khổ của bạn cho Chúa Kitô, và như cha Fleetwood nói, "Bởi vì nếu bạn làm như thế, không có gì phải sợ",
và bạn thực sự, đạt được nhiều hơn.
Vinh Danh Chúa Kitô,
The Reverend Paul E. Lockey, Ph. D.

STEWARDSHIP: SHARING GOD’S GIFTS
The solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
When the Son of Man comes in glory, may we be among those who have fed the hungry, welcomed the stranger, and clothed

fortunate who will receive God’s blessing and inherit the Kingdom.
COMPARTIENDO LOS REGALOS DE DIOS
La Solemnidad de Cristo Rey
Cuando el hijo del Hombre venga glorificado, que estemos entre los que hayan dado de comer al hambriento, la bienvenida al extranjero y vestido al desnudo. Porque Jesús nos dice claramente que son aquellos que han demostrado una buena administración de los bienes de Dios, compartiendo sus dones con los menos afortunados, los que recibirán la bendición de Dios y heredarán el reino.

VOCATION CORNER
NUESTRAS VOCACIONES
Evangelization is the work of God. “Though it is true that this
mission demands great generosity on our part, it would be
wrong to see it as a heroic individual undertaking, for it is first
and foremost the Lord’s work, surpassing anything which we
can see and understand. Jesus is “the first and greatest evangelizer”. In every activity of evangelization, the primacy always
belongs to God, who has called us to cooperate with him and
who leads us on by the power of his Spirit. The real newness
is God himself mysteriously brings about and inspires, provokes, guides and accompanies in a thousand ways. The life of
the Church should always reveal clearly that God takes the
initiative, that “he has loved us first” (1 Jn 4:19) and that He
alone “gives the growth” (1 Cor 3:7). This conviction enables
us to maintain a spirit of joy in the midst of a task so demanding and challenging that it engages our entire life. God asks
everything of us, yet at the same time he offers everything to
us.” (12) Pope Francis - Joy of the Gospel
December 18 to 20-Men’s discernment retreat. For
men ages 18-35 who are discerning a vocation to the priesthood. This is an opportunity to set aside some time of silence
to listen to the voice of God in your life. Phone interview
required for registration. $30 registration fee, scholarships
available. Space is limited. Deadline December 15. Retreat
began Thursday 18 at 5:00 pm, end Saturday Dec. 20 at 2:00

La evangelización es el trabajo de Dios. Sin embargo es
verdad que su misión requiere una gran generosidad de
nuestra parte, sería equivocado verlo como una empresa
individual heróica, porque es ante todo la obra del Señor,
superando todo lo que podemos ver y entender. Jesús es
“el primer y más grande evangelizador”. En cada actividad
de la evangelización, la primacía es de Dios, quien nos ha
llamado a cooperar con Él, y nos guía con todo el poder de
su espíritu. La verdadera novedad es Dios mismo, quien
misteriosamente nos inspira, incita, guía y acompaña en
miles de maneras. La vida de la Iglesia debe siempre revelar claramente que Dios toma la iniciativa, y “Él nos ha
amado primero”(1Cor 3:7). Esta convicción nos permite
mantener un espíritu de alegría en el medio de una tarea
que demanda y nos reta toda nuestra vida. Dios pide todo
de nosotros, pero al mismo tiempo nos ofrece todo”. (12)

THINKING ABOUT TO BECOMING A CATHOLIC?
RCIA in English for Adults
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is an inquiry process for people who are thinking about the possibility of
becoming Catholic and are interested in learning more about the Catholic Church. It is for people who have never been
baptized, for people who have been baptized in other denominations and for those who were baptized as Catholic but did
not celebrate the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Communion. This is a beautiful step by step process, with no
pressure to commit to our faith community, in which interested persons slowly explore the beliefs of the Catholic
Church and discern over a period of many months, if they desire to become Catholic. If you are interested, or have a relative, friend or co-worker who has expressed this interest, please encourage them to call Nadia Jara at 281)463-7878 or email her at: [email protected]
INTERESTED IN BEING A RCIA SPONSOR?
A beautiful way to renew and deepen your own faith and to learn more about our Catholic Church is to be a RCIA sponsor. In the RCIA process each person making inquiry about our Catholic faith has a sponsor. Sponsors do not need to
know all the answers or to be learned in theology. However, they do need to be a practicing catholic and be in good
standing with the Catholic Church. If you have a desire to share your faith and willingness to support another person in
their faith journey, this may be for you. If interested in this ministry, please call: Nadia Jara at 281)463-7878 or e-mail
her at: [email protected]

Lighthouse CD of the Week- –– Count Your Blessings by Dr. Scott Hahn
Dr. Scott Hahn explains the essential teachings from God's Word regarding the theology and practice of
Catholic family life based on the image of the Blessed Trinity, demonstrating that God's Word is all that is
needed to create a loving family life.
Parishioner Comments - “Tremendous presentation given by a husband and father who genuinely understands the root of the problems with the Catholic Church in the U.S. He clearly illustrates the consequences of men
who don't embrace their vocations as strong fathers and heads of their families.”

Holy Father St. Joseph Pray for Us!
San José, ¡Ruega por nosotros!
Extraordinary form of the Mass
Last Sunday after Pentecost
The Gospel today speaks of the terrifying last days that will precede our Lord's return at the end of time. It is going to be a difficult time, but it is also going to be a time of grace also, and so we must prepare ourselves for those
days. We must prepare for these days by faithfully practicing our Faith, virtues and charity, in otherwords, we
must keep growing in holiness. Stocking up on food and building a bunker is not going to help in anyway. No
one can hide from our Lord when He comes, and so if we are wise, we will prepare with a sincere desire to purify
ourselves and serve our Lord in our neighbor. We do not know when He will come. There are signs, but these can be difficult to
interpret. Just think of those who lived through the Black Plague. They were convinced that the end of the world had come. Many
died in those days, but the world continues even today. We cannot know when the end of the world will come. We read in the
Gospels of Sts Matthew and Mark: "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” (Matt 24:36 and Mark 13:32) St. Thomas says that the time of the future judgment is unknown, for this knowledge is
most fittingly reserved to the Father Himself, since the end of the world and the day of judgment will be the result of the Divine
Power alone, without any co-operation of a created cause, just as the world received its existence immediately from God. St. Thomas says that our Lord seems to assign this very reason when He said: “It is not for you to know the times or moments which the
Father has put in His own Power,” (Acts 1:7) this is as though He were to say “which are reserved to his power alone”. We do not
need specific knowledge of when Christ is going to come again, as there was in the prophesies concerning the first coming in the
flesh. That day had to be clearly foretold in order for us to recognize that it is He who has come, for He came secretly and humbly. But the Second Coming will be open and manifest, such that there can be no error concerning the knowledge of His coming. In
today’s gospel, Christ warns us of the false prophets, so that we will not be easily deceived, and then He uses a powerful simile to
show us how manifest His coming will be. "For as the lightning in the East appears also in the West, so shall the coming of the Son of
Man be" (Matt 24:27), and again a little further, “and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and then shall all the
tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty.” (Matt
24:30) The saints desired to live in the last days because they know God's grace will also abound. Let us not live in fear of these
times, rather, let us persevere at our good works and prayers so that we are truly ready for our Lord when He comes. If we treat
each other as we would treat Christ Himself, then when He does come, our meeting with Him will be as dear friends meeting again.
