Focusing the Gospel
Key words & phrases: My
kingdom does not belong to this
world, who belongs to the truth
To the point: Pilate's question,
“I am not a Jew, am I?” only
reveals a tension between
earthly kingdoms: Rome vs.
Israel. Jesus' response,
however, unearths a broader
tension: this world vs. Jesus'
kingdom. The broader tension
embroils all peoples in the
challenge to accept Jesus'
kingship not as power over but
as power to. Consequently, the
truth of Jesus' kingdom does not
lie in anything of this world but in
hearts turned to God, ears
attuned to Jesus' voice, and
actions bespeaking faithful
following of Jesus. We navigate
the tension between the way of
the world and the way of Jesus'
kingdom by putting flesh on the
truth: laying down one's life for
others.
Connecting the Gospel
… to the First Reading:
Christ's presence and kingship
are not found in the
“clouds” (see First and Second
readings) but in his suffering and
death (see second reading and
Gospel) for our sakes and in the
tension within our own lives as
we struggle to align ourselves
with the truth of the kingdom of
Christ our King.
… to experience: Normally
kingship is associated with
power, prestige, and wealth.
Surprisingly, the Gospel
presents Christ the King on trial
and about to suffer and die.

Solemnidad de Cristo Rey
Estudio de las Lecturas Enfocando el Evangelio
Palabras y frases claves:
Mi reino no pertenece a este
mundo, que pertenece a la verdad
Al punto: La pregunta de Pilato:
"No soy judío, ¿verdad?" sólo
revela una tensión entre los reinos
terrenales: Roma vs. Israel. La
respuesta de Jesús, sin embargo,
desentierra una tensión más
amplia: este mundo vs. el reino de
Jesús. La tensión más amplia
enreda a todos los pueblos en el
desafío de aceptar la realeza de
Jesús no como poder sobre sino
como poder para hacerlo. En
consecuencia, la verdad del reino
de Jesús no se encuentra en nada
de este mundo, sino en corazones
vueltos a Dios, oídos en sintonía
con la voz de Jesús y acciones
que hablan fielmente de Jesús.
Navegamos por la tensión entre el
camino del mundo y el camino del
reino de Jesús poniendo carne en
la verdad: dando la vida por los
demás.
Conectando al Evangelio
… a la Primera Lectura:
La presencia y la realeza de Cristo
no se encuentran en las
"nubes" (ver Primera y Segunda
lecturas) sino en su sufrimiento y
muerte (ver segunda lectura y
Evangelio) por nuestro bien y en
la tensión dentro de nuestras
propias vidas mientras luchamos
por alinearnos con la verdad del
reino de Cristo nuestro Rey.
… experimentar: Normalment
e, la realeza se asocia con el
poder, el prestigio y la riqueza.
Sorprendentemente, el Evangelio
presenta a Cristo Rey en juicio y a
punto de sufrir y morir.

For All the Souls of the Dead
O God, you willed that your Only Begotten Son, having conquered death, should pass
over into the realm of heaven. I pray that all your faithful departed servants, who have left this earthly life, may join
your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and gaze eternally on you, their Creator and
Redeemer, in heaven. Amen
Por todas las almas de los muertos
Oh Dios, ingiste que tu Hijo Unigénito, habiendo vencido a la muerte, pasara al
reino del cielo. Ruego que todos sus fieles siervos difuntos, que han dejado esta vida terrenal, se unan a su Hijo, nuestro Señor
Jesucristo, y los miren eternamente a ustedes, su Creador y Redentor, en el cielo.
Amén
