FROM OUR PASTORAL STAFF

Dear Parishioners and Visitors, In our present times, media outlets hold a significant role in spreading information. Whether information pertains to a specific person or a specific event, news media and social media are powerful conduits in communication. Naturally, when we receive information from various media, we need to be very careful to confirm the accuracy of that which is being communicated. In order to confirm the accuracy of shared information, we filter the news with reliable sources, look at evidence and survey databases. Most importantly, we try to have as real and direct an encounter with the person or the things that we are concerned about in order to verify the authenticity and accuracy of what is presented. Today, on the feast of Christ the King, St. John invites us to witness the real, historical encounter between Jesus and Pilate. During this encounter, Pilate introduces the idea and title of Christ as King. to decide for himself whether Jesus is the King or not. Pilate begins to investigate Jesus in asking a simple and objective question: “Are you the King of the Jews?” In response, Jesus answers him with a challenging and personal question: “Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?” Indeed, Pilate has heard many things about Jesus and what Jesus has done in his public ministry. This is the first time, however, that Pilate confronts Jesus face to face to testify about what he has heard. On one level, Jesus is being put on trial for the claim that He is King of the Jews. On another level, Pilate is being put on a trial of sorts to determine his own belief in the divinity and kingship of Jesus. At this encounter, Jesus offers Pilate an opportunity to confess his own faith based on his own personal experience with Jesus rather than on what other people have told him.

As the story unfolds, Pilate falls back from his own experience onto the testimony of other people talking about Jesus when he says “Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me.” It would have been better to focus the discussion on the idea that Jesus had introduced when he said “My kingdom does not belong to this world.” As followers of Christ in this modern world, how are we supposed to respond to the personal question that Jesus proposes to Pilate when Pilate asks: “Are you the King of the Jews?” What is our own answer? Do we confess Jesus as King based on our own knowledge or based on the knowledge of what other people have told us? Although we inherit a great tradition of faith and benefit from what our ancestors have passed on to us about Jesus, we are invited to learn everyday more of what and who Jesus is. Being true witnesses for Christ is not about knowing Jesus on the surface only. Our witness to who Christ is requires a foundation of study and prayers. Having these elements combined will help us to recognize and respond to the presence of the Lord who is active and present in every moment of our lives. As the liturgical year is about to end, let us examine ourselves regarding Jesus’ place in our lives? What do we share with our friends about Jesus from our own experience? When do we feel that we are being put on trial for our faith, and how do we respond? To whom do we run for help? Remember the admonition of Albert Einstein: “What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right” Following the Lord is not about being popular in this world, but we follow the Lord because of his goodness and truth, His mercy and justice.

May everyone love and obey the royal and Divine Heart of Jesus who is King of all kings. Blessings! Fr. T

Saints Simon & Jude Mission Outreach Advent Preparation

“In this season of Advent, we are called to expand the horizons of our hearts, to be amazed by the life which presents itself each day with newness. In order to do this, we must learn to not depend on our own certainties, on our own established strategies, because the Lord comes at a time that we do not imagine. He comes to bring us into a more beautiful and grand dimension.” Pope Francis, Angelus, 27th November 2016

Pray that we can be open to the Lord bringing us into this "more Pray that we can be open to the Lord bringing us into this "more Pray that we can be open to the Lord bringing us into this "more Pray that we can be open to the Lord bringing us into this "more beautiful and grand dimension" this Advent.beautiful and grand dimension" this Advent.beautiful and grand dimension" this Advent.beautiful and grand dimension" this Advent.

Entrance: Crown Him with Many Crowns (DIADAMETA)

Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne; All kingdoms of the earth resound in praise of him alone. Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, And hail him as thy risen King for all eternity. Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o’er the grave, Who on the third day did arise and hope to sinners gave. His glory now we sing, who died and rose on high, Who came eternal life to bring, who lives, no more to die. Crown him the Lord of heav’n, where angels sing above; Crown him the King, to whom is giv’n the wondrous name of Love. Crown him with many crowns, as thrones before him fall. Throughout the earth his praise resounds for he is Lord of all.

Gloria: Mass of St. Ann (Ed Bolduc) Reading I: Dn 7:13-14 As the visions during the night continued, I saw one like a Son of man coming, on the clouds of heaven; when he reached the Ancient One and was presented before him, the one like a Son of man received dominion, glory, and kingship; all peoples, nations, and languages serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed. Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 93 – Owen Alstott/Benjamin Cortez

Behold, he is coming amid the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him. All the peoples of the earth will lament him. Yes. Amen.

Jesus answered, "Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?" Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?" Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here." So Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."

Profession of Faith

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, (BOW) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the Prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
