Pro-Life Notes
“Every human person - no matter how vulnerable or helpless,
no matter how young or how old, no matter how healthy,
handicapped or sick, no matter how useful or productive for
society - is a being of inestimable worth created in the image
and likeness of God. This is the dignity of America … the
ultimate test of her greatness: to respect every human person,
especially the weakest and most defenseless ones, those as
yet unborn.”
—Pope John Paul II, “Apostolic Journey to the
United States and Canada: Farwell Ceremony,”
September 19, 1987
November 23, 2014
Our Lord Jesus Christ,
King of the Universe
Ezekiel 34:11=-12, 15-17
Psalm 23
1 Cor 15:20-26, 28
Matthew 25:31-46
Celebrating Christ the King,
we acknowledge Jesus’ rule
over our lives. For biblical
Israel, one image for God was
king; another image, found in Ezekiel, is that of the shepherd.
In Ezekiel the role of shepherd and king are related. God will
“look after and tend my sheep” (v 12). As shepherd, God
says, “The lost I will seek out, / the strayed I will bring back, /
the injured I will bind up, / the sick I will heal” (v 16). The
Lord promises to “appoint one shepherd over them to pasture
them, my servant David” (see v 23). This promise is fully
realized in the person of Jesus, Son of David.
Paul speaks of the primacy of Christ, the “firstfruits
of those who have fallen asleep” (v 20). In his resurrection,
Jesus comes to reign over everything, and this reign will “until
he has put all his enemies under his feet” (v 25). When this
happens, Christ “will also be subjected / to the one who subjected everything to him” (v 28). By acknowledging Christ’s
sovereignty, we also acknowledge the sovereignty of the one
who sent him.
The text in Matthew today presents an image of Jesus
“in his glory” (v 31), judging the nations on his throne. Like
the shepherd in Ezekiel, he will separate “the sheep from the
goats” (v 32). This is an image of judgment, reminding us that
we are accountable to God for our lives. As Christ’s flock, we
depend on him, but we are also called to love him and to
acknowledge his presence in our neighbor by meeting their
basic needs in hunger, thirst, and illness. Jesus tells us that we
cannot love him if we do not love our neighbor. Let us once
again renew our pledge to serve Christ the king by living lives
of true discipleship.
Today as we celebrate Christ the King, we
hear Jesus say: “...whatever you did for
one of the least brothers and sisters of
mine, you did for me.”
URGENT!!!!
Our St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry needs the following items: toiletries, paper products, (toilet tissue and paper towels). If you can donate any of these items, please deposit them in the bins
provided in the gathering area.. THANK YOU!!!
Volunteers are needed to help handle the numerous requests for
assistance that come into the St. Vincent de Paul Society. If
you can donate some time to assist in this ministry, please call
the parish office at 770-941-2807.
No More Newspaper Recycling
St. John Vianney has had a
newspaper recycling bin
that served as a small fundraiser for our Council of
Catholic Women for many
years. The recycling company has gone out of business as of 10/15/14. The
bin will be removed very soon and will not be
replaced. We thank everyone who has supported
this fundraiser and we ask that you please continue recycling your newspapers at home.
THANK YOU!!
For reflection: Why is it sometimes difficult to love “the
least ones”? How can I better express my loyalty to Christ
the king?
The Knights of Columbus are
collecƟng Coats, Caps and Gloves

Solemnidad de Cristo Rey
Por todas las personas: para que actuemos con amabilidad y caridad con los ancianos, los migrantes, los pobres y los niños por nacer;
Roguemos al Señor:
“Cada persona humana—sin importar lo vulnerable o inde-
fensa que fuera, sin importar lo joven o anciana que es, sin
importar si tiene salud, es discapacitada o está enferma, sin
importar cuán útil o productiva sea para la sociedad— es
un ser de inestimable valor creado a imagen y semejanza
de Dios. Esta es la dignidad de los Estados Unidos de
América... la prueba primordial de su grandeza: respetar a
cada ser humano, en especial a los más débiles y más indefensos, los que aún no han nacido”.
— Papa Juan Pablo II, “Viaje apostólico a los Estados Unidos y Canadá: Ceremonia de
despedida”, 19 de septiembre de 1987

paid. As always, your attention to these
matters is a blessing!
Thanksgiving
Table Blessing
Lord of all blessings, from
You has come a full harvest of
gifts to us. With our uplifted
hearts, we come today around
this table to give thanks to You.
We are grateful not only for the gifts of our very
lives but for all the gifts of friendship, love, devotion and forgiveness we have shared.
On this Thanksgiving we thank you for showing us
how to return thanks by lives of service, by actions
of hospitality, by kindness to others and by concern for each other.
We are most grateful, today, for the way You, our
unseen God, has become visible to us in one another, both in our families and friends , in countless
daily gifts and in the marvels of creation itself.
Come, Lord of gifts, Bless our table and all the
food of this feast. Let us thank the Lord today
and all the days.
Amen
Please cut out this prayer and share it with
your family and guests before your Thanksgiving
Dinner.
THANKSGIVING DAY
MASS
NOVEMBER 27, 2014
10:00 AM
Thanksgiving Day is truly an
American HOLYDAY of obligation. We travel to our
ancestral homes to be with family during the weekend of
tradition, thanksgiving, story telling and getting to know
one another and of course the afternoon football game
with all the turkey leftovers to munch on.
The first thanksgiving was celebrated in the fall of 1621.
Later Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a day
to give praise and thanks to God. It wasn’t until 1941
that Congress made this day a national holiday. The Bible tells us about the Jewish harvest festival Sukkot
(Leviticus 23:39-43). Ellen Frankel’s Encyclopedia of
Jewish Symbols states that the pilgrims based their celebration of Thanksgiving on this biblical feast. As Catholics, our most perfect way of saying thanks to God is in
the Eucharistic Celebration of the Mass. In fact eucharist
is a Greek word for thanksgiving. We give thanks to
God for his works of creation, redemption and sanctification.
Please make every effort to come to Mass on Thanksgiving Day at 10:00 AM. Bring the entire family. We
are asking that everyone who attends the Thanksgiving Mass bring a non-perishable item to help stock
our food pantry that will help our needy brothers and
sisters during the upcoming winter months. Baskets
will be provided on the altar for these items.
PRAYING PACEM IN TERRIS: The first point to
be settled is that mutual ties between States must
be governed by truth. Truth calls for the elimination of every trace of racial discrimination, and the
consequent recognition of the inviolable principle
that all States are by nature equal in dignity.
Each of them accordingly has the right to exist, to
develop, and to possess the necessary means and
accept a primary responsibility for its own development. Each is also legitimately entitled to its
good name and to the respect which is its due.

XXIII’s Pacem in Terris
