Christ the King

When we were little children, we were given many exam-

ples of kings, mostly in fairy tales. These were usually red-

robed gentlemen who either ruled with an iron fist or spent

most of their time trying to marry off their beautiful daugh-

ters. As we grew, we learned of kings who constantly bat-

tled neighboring kings for territorial conquests. None of

those kings seems to coincide with what we are taught

about the greatest one of all, Christ the King. Where others

lead by authoritarian rule, our King leads us by serving,

and by giving us his greatest treasure, love. How can we

now define king any other way?

We are nearly to Advent, the time in which we all pause

and celebrate the period of waiting for a coming Savior, a

king for all the people. Today is the last Sunday of the li-

turgical calendar, and is the feast of Christ the King. In to-

day's reading, Pilate repeatedly asks Jesus if he is king of

the Jews. His answer? "You say I am a king." In the foot-

notes to the New American Bible, it says that this is a

"reluctant affirmative" at best. In other words, Jesus proba-

bly felt Pilate would never understand the type of king Je-

sus was; it was best to answer with a non-answer.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us that we,

the people of God, share in the royal office

of Christ. In his kingship, he draws all of us to him, asking

us to reign as he did, in service to others (CCC 786). The

people of the time of Jesus' earthly life had heard of a com-

ing king and savior for many generations; their own experi-

ence with kings led them to believe their king would be a

mighty ruler as well. But this King of Kings, the greatest of

all, spoke softly, served others, showed compassion for all,

and asked only for love in return.

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

God of Love, You show your favor for us and grace us

through baptism. Bless us with the courage to carry out the

mission of Jesus. Grant us open and generous hearts to see

the needs of others and to respond with compassion. May the

Church be blest with women and men who are dedicated to

You through marriage, the single life, the diaconate,

priesthood, and the consecrated life.

It is in Christ and through Christ that we offer ourselves to

You now and forever.

Amen.

ORACION POR LAS VOCACIONES

Dios de Amor, muestras tu favor hacia nosotros

y nos das tu gracia en el Bautismo.

Bendicenos con valor para llevar a cabo la mision de Jesus.

Concedenos corazones abiertos y generosos para que viendo

las necesidades de los demas respondamos con compassion.

Que la Iglesia sea bendecida con mujeres y hombres que se

dedican a Ti en el matrimonio, la vida celibe, el diaconado, el

sacerdocio y la vida consagrada. Es en Cristo y por Cristo

que nos ofrecemos a Ti ahora y siempre.

Amen

Cuando me quedé a solas con la Santísima Vir-

gen, me instruyó sobre la vida interior. Me dijo:

La verdadera grandeza del alma consiste en am-

ar a Dios y humillarse en su presencia, olvidarse por completo a si mismo y tenerse por nada, porque el Señor es grande, pero se complace

sólo en los humildes mientras rechaza siempre a los soberbios.

When I was left alone with the Blessed Virgin,

She instructed me concerning the interior life.

She said, The soul’s true greatness is in loving

God and in humbling oneself in His presence, completely forgetting oneself and believing oneself to be nothing, because the Lord is

great, but He is well-pleased only with the humble, He always opposes the proud.

Our Stephen Ministers Are Ready to Care for You!

We all go through times in our life when we

could benefit from a little extra care and atten-

tion. Especially during the holidays things may

seem so overwhelming. Friends and family are

gathering, you have so much to do, and all you

can feel is lonely and discouraged. You won-

der if you'll ever feel joy again. You wish someone would give

you a little extra care and attention, someone would listen to you

and not judge you.

That’s what Stephen Ministers are for. Stephen Ministers are

members of Holy Trinity who have been trained to provide con-

fidential, one-to-one, Christian care to people who are going

through a difficult time. Men are matched to men and women to

women. They will listen, care, encourage, pray with and for you,

and provide weekly support for you as long as your need per-

sists.

If you would like to learn more about Stephen Ministry, talk

with one of our Stephen Leaders:

Jerry Krimbill, 392-0602 or Pam Hughes, 394-5723

or email Pam at [email protected].

Our Stephen Ministers are ready to bring God's love and care

into your life!

May you have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

Reflection ~ Good Grief

"Mom, it feels like someone has died," I tearfully said to my mother

the month after my divorce was filed. The emotional pain was so

overwhelming it paralyzed me. I couldn't think clearly, and getting

through the day doing even just basic tasks, like brushing my teeth

or getting dressed, took every ounce of energy I could muster.

I was right, a death had occurred--the death of my marriage. What I

did not realize in that tearful moment was that I was in a full-blown

grief cycle. I came to learn that grief is a very important part of heal-

ing from divorce. The end of a marriage must be grieved in very

much the same way as the death of a loved one. If the grieving pro-

cess is not embraced, it will delay, or even stall, the healing process.

This can cause many long-term emotional (and even physical) prob-

lems. To make sure you fully recover from your divorce, and to

prevent it from anchoring you in your pa st, you must grieve.

There are five phases to the grief cycle: shock/denial, anger, depres-

sion/detachment, bargaining, and acceptance. To reach acceptance,

which is the gateway to healing and moving forward after divorce, it

is important to work through each phase. It is not uncommon to

experience the phases out-of-order. For example, you might experi-

ence the anger phase before you experience the shock that comes

with the reality of divorce. Because grieving is a process, it has a

beginning, a middle, and an end. The good news is that grieving,

when embraced, does have an end. While it may feel like life after

divorce will be forever filled with sadness, anger, and despair, by

understanding that grief is a cycle, we can look forward in hope to it

ending.

Try to embrace your grieving much like you would embrace physi-

cal therapy. Cooperate fully with the process and endure the pain,

knowing that it is necessary to fully healing and resuming a normal

life after divorce.

Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Holy Trinity Altar Guild Needs More Handmaids of the Lord

The Altar Guild needs more parishioners to ensure that the Holy Trinity masses and the Blessed Sacrament Chapel are

“pleasing in His eyes”. Help is needed and the Altar Guild may be your ministry. The Altar Guild cleans and washes

over 90 communion linens every week. We ensure the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, the main Altar, the offertory table,

and the credence table is dressed with clean linens. Help washing the communion vessels and ensuring the Sanctuary candle is full dur-

ing adoration times are other duties. We have also added the duties of decorating the Church and Altar for liturgical seasons and special

“I said a prayer for you today”.

“I said a prayer for you today,

And know God must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart Although He

spoke no word.

I didn’t ask for wealth or fame,

I knew you wouldn’t mind,

I asked Him to send treasures

Of a far more lasting kind. I asked that He’d be near you

At the start of each new day

To grant you health and blessings

And friends to share the way.

I asked for happiness for you

In all thing great and small

But it was for His loving care

I prayed the most of all.”

From Renew, 1990-95.

“ Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Heal-er of the sick, we turn to You in this time of

illness. O dearest Comforter of the trou-

bled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with

Your gentile love, and grant us the grace

and strength to accept this burden. Dear

God, we place our worries in Your hands. We place our sick under Your care and

humbly ask that You restore Your servant to

health again. Above all, grant us the grace

to acknowledge Your will and know that

whatever You do, You do for the love of us.” Amen.

Commentary:

When you measure the time it takes to

say these two prayers and maybe the Lord’s

Prayer, it’s less than two minutes. But mul-

tiply that by about 4,000 parishioners and

you’ve got something. You are a mighty

force for good. You’d think there might be

a small miracle in there somewhere. Look

what Jesus did as he walked along and

heard someone ask for mercy. Well, He’s

listening now and always. So maybe within

this week, we could all say these prayers for

those we love and those who are touched by

cancer.

Do you look around for small miracles?

Not that this is a sermon or anything, but

just asking… At Fatima and Lourdes there

are thousands of crutches, canes and other

aids that formerly crippled and disabled

faithful left there in testament to their heal-

ing faith and that of those who loved them.

Do you wonder about the little miracles

happening to each other? What would one

look like? We know that modern medicine

does wondrous things. We know that the

faithful send thousands of prayers asking for

comfort, cures, and peace. Do you believe

that there are miracles in there, somewhere?

Surely, the faith that enticed, if that’s the

right word, Jesus to cure the sick he

touched, is the same faith you have when

you pray. So, I’m just saying…

Anyhow, all this seems to tie us together.

It’s all about the Mystical Body of Christ -

simple concept really, our faith multiplies

because we are one body in Christ.

Your being holy always works for good

(X 4,0000 +). Its not just a matter of num-

bers, but I’m just saying… Think about it.

I’m sure some theologian might put the ki-

bosh on some of this, but you know what

we’re saying. Your faith through prayer has

got to be a force for good. Jesus said as

much. In 30,000 words or less, that’s all

we’re saying.

“A People who believe and belong --The

Kingdom of God is where you are.” Awe-

some!

Please, tell us your reasons for not coming:

Everyday Stewardship

I was sitting in my car, waiting to pick up my daughter from an area teen Bible study. When I finally saw her I noticed she was walking

with her friend from school, who had recently been talking about getting baptized. Her parents were divorced and because of circum-

stances beyond her control, she never received the sacrament. Now she was older and growing in faith and longed to belong. I realized

both she and my daughter were coming toward my car. I rolled down the window. My daughter's friend just wanted to say hello and

thank me for inviting and taking her to Mass with us the previous Sunday. I told her she was welcome anytime. I thought to myself how

nice it was for her to thank me for something I had not even thought much about.

When you begin to see all that is around you as gift, you cannot help but give thanks. You give thanks for the obvious: life, family, and

love. But you also give thanks for the smaller things: a ride, a gesture, and a prayer. And you begin to realize that all actions of thanks,

whether it is directly to God in prayer, or it is to a person who has been kind, end up glorifying God. For it was God that created all

things and any acknowledgement of that goodness glorifies the Creator.

Everyday stewards can find it easier to be optimistic in this crazy world because they see life as so precious and all that works in concert

to sustain it as good. The gratitude expressed and experienced by a person provides a pathway to hope when it all seems hopeless, and to

love in the face of hate. It makes things like the longing of a young girl to be washed clean in baptismal waters possible in the face of a

culture-and perhaps parents-that see this as foolish. Thanks be to God.
