Let us get together at the Thanksgiving Eve Mass on

Pie & Cider Social in the Rectory.

My dear Parishioners,

As you will recall, in last week’s column, I discussed the

situation we American Catholics find ourselves in as a result

of the presidential election. The divisions we experience

within our country are affecting every sector of society and,

as members of a Church called to bring about reconciliation,

to be a healing agent for wounded individuals or groups, we

know that in some way we must fulfil our calling in the here

and now. But how?

Last week I had mentioned that I would discuss this with the

members of our Pastoral Council which met this past Tues-

day evening. Realistically, our parish, no matter how you

look at it, is made up of minorities; overwhelmingly black

and brown adults and children. Both groups are impacted

by the aftermath of the election. In particular, the mean-

spiritedness that has been unleashed across the country by

the often volatile rhetoric of the campaign. We had a good

sharing of feelings and ideas about what may be lurking

“out there.” There was particular concern about our chil-

dren and young people and about how they are or aren’t

coping with it. Racism and all the other poisonous serpents

it spawns is evident everywhere, and we want to learn about

how it is affecting the lives of parishioners, especially the

young, so that we can name the evil and counter it.

Following the advice of our Pastoral Council, I am calling

you to another Community Meeting following the 10:00

o’clock Mass on Sunday, December 4th—the Second Sun-

day of Advent. Several qualified parishioners will facilitate

the meeting. The Agenda is being prepared and we will

announce it to you in advance. Meanwhile, let us all pray

over and reflect on the “signs of the times,” trusting in the

guidance of the Holy Spirit and the presence of the One

whose Kingdom is not of this world to bolster our faith.

Fr. Jerome, C.P.

JESUCRISTO REY DEL UNIVERSO Mis Hermanos, damos comienzo hoy a la última semana del

año Cristiano, con la Solemnidad de Cristo Rey. El translado

de esta fiesta a este último domingo del año cristiano es para

subrayar que este Reinado de Cristo es escatológico, o sea,

tiene su punto de referencia al final de los tiempos.

La fiesta de Cristo Rey es la fiesta de Cristo resucitado y glori-

oso, Señor y Centro del mundo definitivo. Jesús es el Señor: en

el instante de su muerte es exaltado; ahí se despliega el es-

plendor de su Gloria.

En Jesús reconocemos al Primogénito entre los muertos, a la

cabeza de la humanidad y de la Iglesia. En El todo ha sido

llamado a la plenitud y por El todas las cosas serán consuma-

das cuando Dios sea “todo en todos”.

Creemos en El como el Hijo de Dios encarnado en Jesús de

Nazaret; como el hermano mayor que ha sido exaltado; como

la Palabra salvadora de Dios; como el muerto que ha resucita-

do. No tenemos otro camino; el es la única norma de nuestra

realización personal y colectiva.

San Pablo, en su carta a los colosenses, nos presenta un her-

moso himno en el cual manifiesta la preeminencia absoluta de

Cristo. Nos dice:

En El se proclama la superioridad de Cristo tanto en el or-

den de la creación como en el orden de la redención.

Cristo es la razón de ser de todo cuanto existe.

El es la imagen por excelencia de Dios.

El primogénito de la creación y la cabeza de la Iglesia.

Es también el primero de los resucitados, es decir, el primero

de una nueva vida.

En fin, en EL reside toda la plenitud de la divinidad y por el

Dios reconcilió consigo todas la cosas.

Mis Hermanos, mucho ‘material’ para reflexionar en ocasión

de esta festividad de Cristo Rey. Quiera el Señor que encon-

tremos un ‘tiempito’ para poder saborear estos misterios que

hacen a la vida del Cristiano.

P. Alberto, C.P.
