OFFICE STAFF Lulu Corp Fabiola Gonzalez Elvigia Habana Veronica Kuehn Secretary Secretary / Bulletin Editor Financial & Resource Analyst Facilities Manager St. Charles Parish San Diego / Imperial Beach Page Two FROM THE PASTOR Today the end has come upon us. Well, the end of the Church’s calendar anyway. While we begin Advent next Sunday (the Church’s new year) today we finish with a bang. It is the Feast of Christ the King. We recall the Lordship of Jesus in Heaven and on Earth, over all things, visible and invisible. It is he, the Word of God, the second person of the Most Holy Trinity, who took on our humanity so that we might take on his divinity. NOVEMBER 24-30 SUN 24 7:00AM 7:00AM 8:30AM 8:30AM 10:00AM In the gospel today we hear about Jesus mounting his throne on earth: the cross. From the world’s perspective (and that too of Satan no doubt) he appears today to be an abject failure. Crucified between two insurrectionists, crowned with thorns, beaten and scourged, mocked and spat upon, he begins his reign. This does sound a little crazy, doesn’t it? It does from a worldly point of view. From the cross he did not threaten, he prayed, “Father, forgive them.” He did not curse, instead he assured, “Today, you will be with me in paradise.” He did not ask for pity nor self aggrandize, he said, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” 11:30AM 11:30AM 1:00PM 1:00PM 5:00PM 5:00PM 7:30AM 10:00AM MON 25 TUE 26 It is precisely through his perfect and humble sacrifice of self that we are saved and he exalted. He bore our sins upon himself and they were crucified with him. His cross became the wooden key that opened the gates of Kingdom of Heaven to those who love and follow him. Through his obedience he is seated at the right hand of the Father where he reigns for all eternity. As Saint Peter tells us, by his wounds we are healed. While it may have looked bleak on Good Friday the glory of Easter Sunday outshines the scorn he received and the punishments our evil deeds deserve. Today, we mark the day of Christ’s victory over all of our weaknesses and frailties. He desires each of us to be saved and will provide us with everything necessary for our salvation. He was like us in all things except sin and through his cross we can leave sin behind and be made a people who share in his divine life. Unlike many who rule and govern in the world today he wasn’t concerned with popularity polls, getting reelected, or keeping his subjects in line. He came down from Heaven, he lived for us and died for us that we might have life. That’s the mark of a real king. That’s the mark of the True King!

Bueno, el final del calendario de la Iglesia de cualquier manera. Mientras comenzamos el Adviento el próximo domingo (el año nuevo de la Iglesia) hoy terminamos con una explosión. Es la fiesta de Cristo Rey. Recordamos el Señorío de Jesús en el cielo y en la Tierra, por sobre todas las cosas, visibles e invisibles. Es él, la Palabra de Dios, la segunda persona de la Santísima Trinidad, que asumió nuestra humanidad para que nosotros podamos tomar en su divinidad. En el evangelio de hoy escuchamos acerca de Jesús de su trono en la tierra: la cruz. Desde la perspectiva del mundo (y también de Satanás sin duda) que hoy aparece ser un fracaso absoluto. Crucificado entre dos movimientos insurreccionales, coronado con espinas, golpeado y flagelado, escarnecido, escupido, comienza su reinado. Esto suena un poco loco, ¿no? Lo parece desde un punto de vista mundano. Desde la cruz, no amenazo, oró, "Padre, perdónalos." Él no maldijo, en vez, aseguró, "Hoy, estarás conmigo en el paraíso." Él no pedio piedad ni engrandecerse, el dijo: “Padre, en tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu." Y es precisamente a través de su perfecto y humilde sacrificio de sí mismo que fuimos salvados y el exaltó. Él llevó nuestros pecados sobre sí mismo y que fueron crucificados con él. La cruz se convirtió en la llave de madera que abrió las puertas del reino de los cielos a los que lo aman y le siguen. A través de su obediencia, está sentado a la diestra del Padre donde él reina por toda la eternidad. Como nos dice San Pedro, por sus heridas fuimos curados. Si bien es posible que es sombrío en Viernes Santo, la gloria del Domingo de Pascua deslumbra el desprecio que recibió y los castigos que nuestras malas obras merecen. Hoy celebramos el día de la victoria de Cristo sobre todas nuestras debilidades y fragilidades. Él desea que cada uno de nosotros se salve y nos proveerá con todo lo necesario para nuestra salvación. El fue como nosotros en todo excepto en el pecado y a través de su cruz, podemos dejar el pecado atras y ser una personas que comparte en su vida divina. A diferencia de muchos otros que reglan y gobernar en el mundo de hoy el no estaba preocupado con encuestas de popularidad, con intenciones reeleccionistas, o de mantener sus temas en línea. El había bajado del cielo, vivió y murió por nosotros para que tuviéramos vida. Esa es la marca de un verdadero rey. Esa es la marca del verdadero Rey! 24 de noviembre de 2013 El Grupo Holy Name Society tendrán venta de Pastelitos y comida HOY en el patio.
