Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

November 26, 2017

“ Blessed is he who comes in the name of the

Lord! Blessed is the Kingdom of our father David

that is to come!

MT 25: 31-46

Saint Andrew’s Story Andrew was St. Peter’s brother, and was called with him. “As [Jesus] was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is now called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were

fishermen. He said to them, ‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ At once they left their nets and followed him” (Matthew 4:18-20).

John the Evangelist presents Andrew as a disciple of John the Baptist. When Jesus walked by one day, John said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.” Andrew and another disciple followed Jesus. “Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’ They said to him, ‘Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are you staying?’ He said to them, ‘Come, and you will see.’ So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day” (John 1:38-39a).

Little else is said about Andrew in the Gospels. Before the multiplication of the loaves, it was Andrew who spoke up about the boy who had the barley loaves and fishes. When the Gentiles went to see Jesus, they came to Philip, but Philip then had recourse to Andrew. Legend has it that Andrew preached the Good News in what is now modern Greece and Turkey and was crucified at Patras on an X-shaped cross.

November 26, 2017 Our Lord Jesus

Christ, King of the Universe

"Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of the least

brothers of mine, you did for me." Today we celebrate the

feast of an unusual kind of king. Our Lord Jesus Christ,

King of the Universe, does not run his kingdom in the

standard fashion. Instead of insisting upon the pomp and

circumstance that usually surrounds earthly royalty, Jesus

has a different focus. He thinks not of himself, but of those

he loves. And in today's Gospel, his interest is especially

focused on the poor and suffering in our midst.

Our King asks us to care for those in need--the hungry, the

homeless, the foreigner, the sick and suffering. But then, he

goes farther; he tells us that in caring for these least

brethren, we will be ministering to HIM! What an incredible

promise. Not only do we carry out the command to love

our neighbor when we protect those in need, but we also

show our love for Jesus in a direct and concrete way. This

love for Christ through others is so real that Jesus actually

tells us that our place on Judgment Day will depend on it:

"'What you did not do for one of these least ones, you did

not do for me.' And these will go off to eternal

punishment." On the other hand, the "righteous" who

ministered to the weak and poor will enjoy eternal life. Our

King has spoken loud and clear. Now comes the question

of whether or not we are obeying his orders?

Each of us is called to examine how well we are caring for

the least among us. Sometimes, this means giving our time

and energy for special ministries or missions, but often it

means caring for those right in front of us--the sick or

suffering in our own homes, families, neighborhoods, or

parishes. Whatever our situation, may we have the eyes to

see Christ in our midst and serve him.

26 de noviembre de 2017 Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo

La solemnidad de Cristo Rey nos ayuda a

reflexionar en lo que pretendemos como

comunidad de creyentes a lo largo del año.

Ver el valor que damos a Jesucristo y el

hecho de ser miembros de su Reino.

Cerramos el año proclamando a Nuestro

Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo. El Papa

Pío XI instituyó esta fiesta al finalizar el

año santo en 1925. Pero el mismo Señor

Jesús, a la pregunta de Pilato de si él era en

verdad el rey, contesto: “Tú lo has dicho.

Soy rey” (Jn 18, 37). Mateo termina su año y

durante éste, nos mostró lo fundamental

del Reino. Escuchamos a Juan Bautista al

principio del Evangelio. “Arrepiéntanse,

porque el Reino de los cielos está

cerca” (Mt 3, 2).

El Papa Francisco, en su homilía de

noviembre 23 de 2014 dijo. “Las lecturas

que hemos escuchado nos muestran cómo

realizó Jesús su reino; cómo lo realiza en el

devenir de la historia; y qué nos pide a

nosotros.

“Ante todo, cómo realizó Jesús su reino:

lo hizo con la cercanía y ternura hacia

nosotros. Él es el pastor, de quien habló el

profeta Ezequiel en la primera lectura

(cfr. 34, 11-12. 15-17). Todo este pasaje está

entrelazado por verbos que indican la

premura y el amor del pastor hacia su

rebaño: buscar, cuidar, reunir a los

dispersos, conducir al apacentamiento,

hacer descansar, buscar a la oveja

perdida, recoger a la descarriada, vendar a

la herida, fortalecer a la enferma,

atender, apacentar. Todas estas actitudes

se hicieron realidad en Jesucristo: Él es

verdaderamente el «gran pastor de las

ovejas y guardián de nuestras

almas» (cfr. Hb 13, 20; 1 Pe 2, 25)”.

¡Viva Cristo Rey!

O Christ Jesus, I acknowledge You

King of the Universe. All that has

been created has been made for You.

Exercise upon me all Your rights.

I renew my baptismal promises

renouncing Satan and all his works

and pomps. I promise to lead

a good Christian life and to do all in my

power to procure the triumph of the

rights of God and Your Church. Divine

Heart of Jesus, I offer You my poor

actions in order to obtain that all

hearts may acknowledge Your sacred

royalty and that thus the reign of

Your peace may be established

throughout the universe. Amen.

Help us pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ

O’ dearest comforter of the troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with Your gentle 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 holy will and know that whatsoever You do, You do for the love of us.
