It was instituted in 1925 by Pope Pius XI through the Encyclical Letter “Quas Primas.” After stating that “as long as individuals and states refuse to submit to the rule of our Savior, there would be no really hopeful prospect of a lasting peace among nations,” the Holy Father observed in the institution of this Solemnity “the increasing zeal of the Church for the spread of the kingdom of her Spouse to the most far distant regions of the world.” It has often been said that you can tell the faith of a people by the zeal of its shepherds. Today is the 87 th anniversary of the execution of a dear son of the Church who remains a shining example of priestly fervor and love of Christ, the King of the Universe. Miguel A. Pro, S.J. (1891-1927) was a young Mexican priest who after his ordination in Belgium served his people in Mexico during a fierce persecution of the Catholic Church. Trumped up accusations were fabricated against him, and he was condemned to be executed on November 23, 1927. Pictures of the execution were taken, because government officials wanted to show the international media how cowardly priests would act when faced with imminent death. However, Father Pro very bravely stepped up before the firing squad, rejected the blindfold he was offered, forgave his executioners, stretched out his arms and boldly shouted, "Viva Cristo Rey!" (Long live Christ the King!). Then he was riddled with bullets. The volley of gunfire did not kill him, so a single shot was fired into his temple. Because he had faced death so bravely, there was an order to suppress the execution photos, but some of them got out, including the two reproduced here: one taken the morning of his execution, and the other just a few seconds before Fr. Miguel gave witness to his love of Christ. The funeral for Father Pro was huge, with people openly praying the rosary and shouting "Viva Cristo Rey!" as the procession passed through the streets, at a time when any form of public manifestation of the faith was absolutely forbidden in Mexico. In his beatification homily in 1988, Pope (now St.) John Paul II said of Blessed Miguel Pro, “Neither suffering nor serious illness, neither the exhausting ministerial activity, frequently carried out in difficult and dangerous circumstances, could stifle the radiating and contagious joy which he brought to his life for Christ and which nothing could take away. Indeed, the Fr. Miguel Pro, S.J. deepest root of self-sacrificing surrender for the lowly was his passionate love for Jesus Christ and his ardent desire to be conformed to Him, even unto death.” Yet Fr. Miguel Pro was not the only person to demonstrate such fearless faith. A movie released two years ago, “For Greater Glory,” recounts the struggle of several Christians (called Cristeros) who stood up to the tyranny that sought to undermine the Catholic Church. I definitely recommend it as a Christmas gift. It is heartening to see that in Mexico, a land where so many suffered tremendously to uphold the Catholic Faith, the Church is alive and well a century later. Some dioceses there have seminaries full of young men pursuing the priesthood. When asked what inspired them to respond to the vocation, many mention the witness of those who died defending the Faith. As Scripture reminds us, the blood of the martyrs still speaks to us most eloquently. Viva Cristo Rey! Fr. Ivan Sciberras [email protected] P.S. Please make sure to join us on Thursday as we give thanks to God for the gift of faith (and so many other blessings) while celebrating our Thanksgiving Day Mass at 9AM.

Please consider increasing your weekly offering. Whenever possible, please use the corresponding envelopes for the different collections and please write the amount on the envelope. Dropping in one check or cash equivalent for several different collections complicates the work of our money-counters. Your understanding is greatly appreciated. We thank you all for your generosity!

Sadly, this would be a harsh reality for many in our community if it were not for the assistance provided by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Newark. For over 100 years, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Newark has provided relief to so many families within the four counties it serves. Catholic Charities operates seven shelters which provide a safe, caring, respectful, and dignified refuge for our homeless brothers and sisters. Your support of the Annual Appeal makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those served by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Newark. Through your generosity to the Annual Appeal, Catholic Charities is able to continue their tradition of compassion and concern for each individual who walks through their door. All parishioners are encouraged to attend our 9 a.m. Thanksgiving Day Concelebrated Mass. At the offertory, parishioners are invited to bring up dried goods that will be donated to St. Peter’s Food Pantry. Bread will be blessed at the end of Mass and distributed among the congregation. The Rectory Office will be closed for the remainder of the day. PLEASE HELP FOR THANKSGIVING Can you donate a turkey, ham, chicken or ham steaks to the food pantry for Thanksgiving? We know the need is great, and many people will be coming to the food pantry for help at this time of the year. Any donation will be greatly appreciated. Please bring any item you can give to the rectory by November 23rd. Please DO NOT leave any perishable item in the vestibule of the church. We promise our prayers for you in return. GIVING TREE Saint Peter’s Giving Tree will be in Church beginning the weekend of November 30th and December 1st.

And how can we fulfil it?” “Firstly, we must take into account that sanctity is not something that we procure, that we obtain ourselves through our qualities and capacities. Sanctity is a gift, it is the gift that the Lord Jesus gives to us, when He takes us with Him and clothes us in Himself, making us like Him,” he said. “Sanctity is the most beautiful face of the Church: it is rediscovering oneself in communion with God, in the fullness of His life and His love. … It is not the prerogative of the few: sanctity is a gift that is offered to all, without exclusion, and which therefore constitutes the distinctive characteristic of every Christian.” “To be holy,” he continued, “it is not necessary to be bishops, priests or religious. … We are all called to be holy! … It is by living with live and offering one's own Christian witness in our everyday occupations that we are called to become holy; and each person in the condition and in the state of life in which he finds himself”: consecrated persons, married couples, unmarried baptised persons, parents, grandparents, catechists, educators and volunteers. “Every state of life leads to sanctity, if lived in communion with the Lord and in the service of one's brethren.” Pope Francis, who on Monday confirmed that he will be participating in the World Day of the Family celebrations in Philadelphia in September 2015, urged those present to examine their consciences, asking how they could respond to the Lord's call to holiness. He emphasized that when the Lord calls us to be holy, he does not ask us to do something weighty or sad, but rather offers us an invitation to share in his joy. “If we understand it in this way, everything changes and acquires a new meaning, beautiful, starting from the little things of everyday life. … And each step towards sanctity will make us better people, free of selfishness and selfcentredness, and open to our brothers and their needs”. He added, “we do not walk the path of sanctity alone, each for himself, but rather together, in that single body that is the Church, loved and sanctified by the Lord Jesus Christ,” and concluded by encouraging those present to continue on this path. THE ARCHBISHOP JOHN J. MYERS ANNUAL LECTURE SERIES ON LAW, SOCIETY AND FAITH Noted theologian Dr. Regis Martin sheds light and hope on the nature of a “fallen world” for the Archbishop John J. Myers Lecture Series with “Still Point: Loss, Longing, and our Search for God.” The second annual lecture series continues on Wednesday December 3 at 5PM in Jubilee Hall Auditorium, Seton Hall University, 400 South Orange Avenue. All are welcome and admission is free; guests are encouraged to R.S.V.P. to Alexandra Benson at [email protected] or (973) 2752808.

He studied in Rome at the Angelicum and graduated summa cum laude in 1988 with a doctorate in sacred theology.

Page Six Saint Peter School forming the future with Purpose, Passion and Power! Visit us online at: www.stpeter-school.org FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK. . . Thanksgiving is a very unique American holiday. It acknowledges the tenacity and bravery of a small band of adventurous colonists seeking religious freedom in an unknown land. Despite their many challenges, they survived. In thanksgiving to God they celebrated and shared what little they had with the Native Americans. As a result, Thanksgiving Day has become a national tradition. On Wednesday, November 26, St. Peter School will participate in their annual Thanksgiving Prayer Service. Our students collected food items for the food pantry. Our students are sharing with others as the Pilgrims and Native Americans did on that First Thanksgiving. They are following in the footsteps of the Master Teacher, Jesus. As we prepare for the holiday let us give thanks to God for His goodness and His loving care in the ordinary things of life. Thanksgiving Blessings from St. Peter School. A Thanksgiving Blessing Lord, I thank you for your faithfulness and love. I will give thanks to you, O Lord, With all my heart, For you have heard the words of my mouth; In the presence of the angels. I will sing your praise; I will worship at your holy temple.

FROM THE TREASURY OF CATHOLIC PRAYERS COMPLETE TRUST IN GOD Do not look forward to the trials and crosses of this life with dread and fear. Rather, look to them with full confidence that, as they arise, God, to whom you belong, will deliver you from them. He has guided and guarded you thus far in life. Do you hold fast to His dear hand, and He will lead you safely through all trials. Whenever you cannot stand, He will carry you lovingly in His arms. Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. The same Eternal Father who cares for you today will take good care of you tomorrow and every day of your life. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you the unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace then and put aside all useless thoughts, vain dreads, and anxious imaginations.

No son muy inteligentes. Especialmente en un clima como el de Israel, morirían rápidamente a causa de predadores, hambre o por su lentitud. La imagen bíblica de nosotros como el rebaño del Señor no es halagadora porque solamente con la vigilancia constante del pastor cuidadoso el rebaño puede sobrevivir. La institución de la fiesta de Cristo Rey fue motivada por la intención de llevar el mundo a Cristo como el único poder de este mundo; y también de hacer volver el rebaño dispersado por las tantas fuerzas negativas del creciente mundo industrial y científico, desgarrado por la guerra, del siglo veinte. Mientras celebramos a Cristo Rey, es muy apropiado entender que el Cristo Pastor nos cuida ahora y va a estar presente en el momento de la separación de buenos y malos en el juicio final. Como el Evangelio ilustra bien, nuestro propio destino está determinado por nuestro servicio como pastores al resto del rebaño. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
