THERE WILL BE AN ANOINTING OF THE SICK AFTER THE SATURDAY,

NOVEMBER 27TH MASS FOR ALL WHO ARE SICK IN MIND OR BODY.

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK: REFLECTING ON THE WORD The Love of Truth

It was thirty years ago, I was strong and quick. That’s why they chose me to guard Pilate. No one would harm the proconsul on my watch. Some write that the governor was alone with Jesus. Pilate was never alone with a prisoner. I stood in the back at attention. I was there. I heard. I saw. “Are you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked. The rebel was strong. He carried his shoulders as one accustomed to lifting heavy burdens, to working with his hands. I watched those hands; they could do damage to Pilate’s throat if her chose. But I would kill him first. “Your own nation has handed you over. What have you done?” Pilate was relaxed. He had spent many years judging men all over Judea. This man was not important. But the chief priests had asked that he be tried for sedition, for inciting people to rebel against Rome. To Pilate, here was another small man pretending that he was somebody big. “My kingdom does not belong to this world. My kingdom is not here,” the prisoner said. Pilate was taken by surprise. “Then you are a king!” He looked past the man and glanced up at me. The prisoner turned to look me in the eye. “Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” My heart burned. I could hardly breathe. “This is the King,” I knew in a moment. “This is my King.” Ever since that day, I have told the story of Jesus’s encounter with Pilate. So today, my Emperor Nero, I will not change my statement. Your lions can tear me apart. You can slay me with the sword. I will serve no king but the King, ruler of the kings of the earth. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last. I will serve no other. John M. Barker, OFM., and Karla J. Bellinger, Living the Word (Illinois, 2020), World Library Association, p. 263-264. ———————————————————————————————- QUOTE: “To be holy demands that we slow down and live in the moment we’re in.

A PRAYER ON THE SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE KING:

Lord, God almighty, you have anointed Jesus as the Christ not to rule a kingdom won by violence but to bear witness to the truth, not to mirror this world’s powers but to inherit a dominion that will not pass away. Freed from our sins by the blood of this faithful witness, shape our service of others after the pattern of Christ’s self-sacrificing love. This we ask of you. Amen. -Benedictine Daily Prayer ———————————————————————————— PRAYER BEFORE PREPARING A FAMILY FEAST

Lord, you know all the things that still need to be done- the cooking and cleaning, the preparation and anticipation, the anxiety and worry that everything will be just right. As I prepare this meal, help me also to prepare myself that I may not be distracted by all these concerns. And when you enter the home and sit at this table, may I sit beside you and remember that only one thing is needed: to love you with all my heart, with all my being, with all my strength, and with all my mind, and to love my neighbor as myself. Amen. -Diana Macalintal, The Work of Your Hands ————————————————————————————

SECOND COLLECTION THIS WEEKEND: We have a second collection this weekend for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. Envelopes are on the tables at the entrances.

Let the peoples praise you, O God; Let all the people praise you. -Psalm 7:2-4
