NOVEMBER 20, 2016 OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

The Feast of Christ the King was established by Pope Pius XI in

1925 as an antidote to secularism, a way of life which leaves God

out of man's thinking and living and organizes his life as if God did

not exist. The feast is intended to proclaim in a striking and

effective manner Christ's royalty over individuals, families, society,

governments, and nations.

Today's Mass establishes the titles for Christ's royalty over men: 1)

Christ is God, the Creator of the universe and hence wields a

supreme power over all things; "All things were created by Him";

2) Christ is our Redeemer, He purchased us by His precious Blood,

and made us His property and possession; 3) Christ is Head of the

Church, "holding in all things the primacy"; 4) God bestowed

upon Christ the nations of the world as His special possession and

dominion.

NOVEMBER 20, 2016 OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

My dear Sisters and Brothers,

Grace and peace in our Lord Jesus!

We are celebrating this Sunday the SOLEMNITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE

UNIVERSE. This great solemnity reminds us that we have a King whose heart is merciful, forgiving

and full of love for us His subjects. It is the desire of our Lord that because of His passion, death, and

resurrection for our salvation from sin and death that someday, after our pilgrim journey, we may

live with Him forever in His Father's house where there are many dwelling places that He already

prepared as we read in St. John's gospel. He is our King who made us heirs of His kingdom as St.

Paul tells us. He is our King who emptied Himself for our sake, made Himself our Bread of Life. Let

us fill our hearts with thanksgiving as we celebrate this great feast.

We now celebrate Mass in Kahala Nui every Sunday. We started last Sunday. Five priests have

agreed to rotate to preside over the Mass for the residents and their employees. At the first Mass,

there were twenty- two residents who celebrated the Eucharist.

The Octoberfest we held recently was a big success. We will provide you the final accounting next

week of how much money we raised during the event. This event was a kick-off fund-raising

campaign to renovate/upgrade our Cafeteria. Our objective is to make it into a multi-purpose facility

that will be more comfortable, welcoming, user-friendly for our students and parishioners. We need

to replace the chairs and tables which have been there for more than 30 years(!), re-do the

stage, work on the doors, kitchen area etc. Our heartfelt gratitude for your initial generosity. But

may I appeal to your generous heart so we can complete this project as soon as possible.

Lance and Noel, our facility employees, are working to finish our sacristy. It is coming out

beautifullv. Actually, we do not have one! We are converting space adjacent to the sanctuary as our

Sacristy. The former sacristy, I was told, is the chapel we are using now. We have been using the

small room next to the men's CR as the vesting room for the bishop and clergy. I will let you know

when the blessing will be.

Our chapel is also undergoing an upgrade on its lighting system. I hope it will be done before the end

of this month.

We are in need of Lectors and Eucharistic ministers. I hope and pray some of you will respond to the

call to this important service to our parish. Training will begin in January next year.

May our Lord's blessings be upon you and your dear ones.

In our Bread of Life,

Fr. Frankie, SSS

Pastor

planning the baby shower, organizing and

delivering gifts, educating others about Pro Life

events and the annual March for Life, etc.

The “Baby Shower for Jesus,” to be held in

December, is being planned by the Mothers &

Babies Ministry and the MSOS Charismatic

some way, give us a call! Call Yvonne Izumi at:

SUNDAY SCRIPTURE READINGS:

FIRST READING: 2Samuel 5:1-3 -- This reading celebrates Christ’s

kingship by looking back at His ancestry and linking Him with David,

who was Israel’s greatest king, a man after God’s own heart.

SECOND READING: Colossians 1:12-20 -- The structure of this

passage (a liturgical hymn) sings of Christ as “firstborn” of both

creation and our salvation. He preceded all things and all things are held

together by Him. As firstborn of creation, He is lord of everything!

GOSPEL: Luke 23:35-43 -- In this Gospel text, we have a nearly mute

Jesus who is mocked by “rulers,” “soldiers,” and even a condemned

“criminal.” From His cruciform throne, He speaks no words to defend or

save Himself, only words promising salvation to one who is as much out-

cast as He is. So, even here Jesus does in fact demonstrate His kingship,

for His pain and seeming helplessness are no impediment to pronouncing

a sentence of life for the so-called “good thief” at His side.
