Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
November 22, 2015
Jesus Christ is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead
and ruler of the kings of the earth.
-Revelation 1:5
TRUE STEWARDSHIP
The gospel message proclaimed throughout the New
Testament invites us to live in harmony with the world.
This is a challenge to care for the world and be stewards
of all that God has given us. Like generations before us,
we are entrusted with the care of the earth so that generations to follow may enjoy the same gifts. Sometimes, however, we are absorbed into the ways of the world. When
we are of the world, we rely heavily on the power of
wealth, beauty, fame, and accumulation of material possessions. We want earthly possessions and carelessly turn
our hearts from the responsibilities of stewardship and
conservation.
The readings today challenge us to walk away from
the world so that we might inherit our share of God’s kingdom. How we live our lives directly reflects our love for
God.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
For good reason, Americans have been ambivalent
about “kings” for many years, even long before George
III’s troops were sent packing in 1776. To say Christ is
our King is to make a statement not about our politics,
but about the dignity of our own identity. At our baptism,
the crown of our head was once slathered (or at last
dabbed) with oil while the Church prayed “as Christ was
anointed priest, prophet and king, so may you live always as his body.” To celebrate Christ’s kingship, then,
is to claim our own identity.
Your head was anointed just as Samuel poured oil
over David’s head. David had his gifts, but he was no
prize, and perhaps that might comfort you as you think
about your call, out of the messiness of your own life, to
stretch into a lifestyle that is marked by worship, by prophetic speech and deeds, and the kingly ability to fashion
a world (or at least a patch of it) where relationships are
marked by justice, mercy, and cultivation of the good. It
is precisely because of this kingly role that our faith community has something to say about the environment,
about the dignity of human life, just wages, access to
health care and education, the building of peace, and
avoidance of war. In a few weeks’ time we will hymn the
coming of the “newborn king,” but today we sketch out
the meaning of his reign, and our own incorporation into
his work for the life of the world.
TRUE GRATITUDE
Let us remember that, as much has been given us,
much will be expected from us, and that true homage
comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows
itself in deeds.
—Theodore Roosevelt

REJOICE
“Rejoice!” is – A solo concert, featuring May GorospeFavis, a well decorated lyric soprano, breast cancer survivor, a wife and mother of three. It will be held here at St.
Paul Church on December 13, 2015, Sunday, from 6pm7:30pm. The invitation is extended not only to all St Paul
parishioners but also to the neighboring parishes and the
entire Diocese of Sacramento. Beginning this weekend,
tickets at $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 years and
under will be available after each Mass and at the parish
office during weekdays.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Albie Aware Breast
Cancer Foundation in the name of Ms. May Gorospe-Favis
and to St. Paul’s Building Fund. Tickets are limited inasmuch as our church can only accommodate a certain number of people. Treat yourself, your family and friends to this
advent evening serenade of songs of joy and hope that relieves the soul and heart to celebrate Christmas with different aura. For more information, check the posters on our
church billboards and the Parish web site.
THANK YOU
The organizers of Mr. and Miss St. Paul and St. Paul
Church want to thank our young candidates, their parents
and supporters for doing a wonderful job. Your hard work,
valued time you shared, sacrifices and undying commitment
to make this fund raising possible are worth more than we
can ever be grateful. May God continue to bless your families with graces in the measure your generosity so greatly
deserves.
MISSALETTES
The Parish Council and the Liturgical Committee of our parish had been discussing and considering in their past meetings to not ordering the missals we use in the church anymore. With their unanimous recommendation, there will be
no more Missals in the pews starting this Advent. The Music Issue will still be available. The common prayers will
also be available in laminated hard paper. Temporarily we
will be printing the readings in English and Spanish side by
side in the form of worship aid every weekend until such
time the we will get used to it. The hospitality ministry will
make them available only for those who are interested as
they enter the church. The reasons why we will not subscribe to having missals in our church anymore are the following: The General Introduction of the Roman Missal
(GIRM) states that the congregation should listen to the
reading being proclaimed by the lectors and not reading the
text with the lectors (GIRM #29). Otherwise we would not
need lectors anymore to proclaim the Word of God and we
would just read the texts ourselves.
Listening intently is the real decorum of the congregation
while the readings are being read and proclaimed by the
lector. Let us make ourselves focused on the readings during the celebration of the Word and be fully attentive while
they are being read by the lector. Churches have started
doing this for quite some time now, like the Cathedral, some
churches in the diocese and most churches in the Midwest
and East Coast.

LA VERADERA CORRESPONSABILIDAD
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El mensaje del Evangelio que proclama el Nuevo Testamento nos invita a una vida de armonía con el mundo creado. Tenemos el reto de cuidar el mundo y sentirnos corresponsables de todo lo que Dios nos ha dado. Al igual que
generaciones anteriores, se nos ha confiado el cuidado de
la tierra para que las generaciones que nos sigan puedan
disfrutar los mismos dones. Algunas veces, sin embargo,
nos quedamos absortos en las cosas del mundo. Cuando
somos del mundo, confiamos demasiado en el poder de la
riqueza, la belleza, la fama y la acumulación de posesiones
materiales. Deseamos las posesiones terrenas y con
desdén alejamos nuestro corazón de las responsabilidades
de nuestro deber de cuidar el planeta y preservarla.
Las lecturas de hoy nos retan a alejarnos del mundo
para que podamos heredar nuestra parte del Reino de
Dios. Cómo vivimos nuestra vida refleja nuestro amor por
Dios.
A lo largo de los años, latinoamérica ha producido bellísimas imágenes de Cristo crucificado, una de ellas es el Señor
de los Milagros (Perú). Normalmente estas imágenes llevan en
la parte superior el acrónimo INRI. Estas iniciales son una
abreviación de las palabras en latín: Iesus Nazarenus Rex
Iudaeorum que en español significan Jesús de Nazaret, rey de
los judíos (Mateo 27:37; Marcos 15:26; Lucas 23:38 y Juan
19:19). Con estas palabras, y sin quererlo, Pilato da a conocer
al mundo la identidad de Jesús, mientras que él piensa que
sólo está haciendo referencia a la causa de su muerte. El delito político de Jesús fue hacerse pasar por un rey y ésto, al
Imperio Romano no le convenía. En realidad, el hecho de que
Jesús es rey, no le conviene a ningún gobierno humano. El rey
es el líder absoluto, al cual se le debe entrega incondicional.
Para los cristianos que habitamos en todas las naciones
de la tierra, el hecho de que proclamemos que Jesús es nuestro rey, puede traernos serias dificultades. Los gobiernos
humanos no siempre actúan conforme al Evangelio y por tal
motivo, al cristiano que reconoce a Jesús como rey, le corresponde desafiar tales gobiernos. El reinado de Cristo no es de
este mundo, pero juzga y cuestiona este mundo. Al cristiano le
toca gritar, con su vida y con su palabra: ¡Viva Cristo Rey!

que odian, ten piedad de ellos Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo

AGRADECIMIENTO DE CUNPLEANOS
FERIA DE NAVIDAD
MATRIMONIOS Y QUINCEAÑERAS
Quiero agradecer por todos por los saludos, el apoyo y los
regalos de las oraciones y sus bondades que tuvieron para
mí durante las celebraciones de mis cumpleaños el pasado
30 de octubre. Fue una noche divertida para todos nosotros. Siempre voy a atesorar ese pensamiento de cómo esa
noche era tan maravilloso para mí porque estaba todos a
mi alrededor. Dios ha sido tan bueno para darme una nueva familia cuando de vez en cuando estoy asignado a una
nueva parroquia. Quiero dar las gracias y sobre todo mencionar de los organizadores que han trabajado duramente
para hacer esto posible. Edna Clegg, Mercedes Guerrero,
Rosa Basos, Zeny Oriel, Luz Declan, Aida Azurin, María
Bahoric, Elizabeth Rodríguez, Alex y Estrellita Avera, a los
que apoyaron la música Rosendo Flores y a nuestro personal de la parroquia ..
Por supuesto, la generosidad es también reconocido por los
donantes de nuestra comida para esa noche. Tuvimos una
buena cena Filipino, Guamenian, Hispana, y otra comida
variadas. Todas estaban deliciosas. Alabado sea Dios, ahora y por siempre. Pueda ser que Él, sea el origen de las
cosas buenas, corresponder a su generosidad que merece
tan grandemente cuanto yo soy igual de simple criatura de
los recursos humildes. Dios los bendiga a todos.
Fr.. Joyle Martínez
