Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King Page 3

Nov. 26th, Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ:

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Today, the Solemnity of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, is the last Sunday of the Church Year.

We rejoice in what is not yet, the full reign of God over all humanity in His second, Glorious coming at the end of time. This celebration was established in 1925 by Pope Pius IX to counteract several bad trends. To the world Jesus Christ was irrelevant: Religion was one thing; politics and the economy were completely disconnected from one’s faith. It was the time when totalitarian regimes were gaining ground. The Church wanted to show that Jesus Christ must be the King and center of social, political, as well as personal life. Indeed, we live in very similar times in which the world, even Catholics and other mainstream Christians, disconnect their faith from the rest of their lives. Today should be a celebration of the here and now of how we live with Christ reigning over our entire life. Our stewardship will manifest the kingship of Jesus in our lives, both in private and public. When we recognize that all that we have and are is pure blessing from God, we will care for what He has gifted us with by sharing our time, talent and treasure out of thankfulness to Christ our King. When we do this we wait in joyful hope of His kingdom to come and at the same time we build up His Kingdom here and now. It is one year into the Trump presidency, and the political atmosphere is completely upside down. There are many who are angry and many who are relieved; gas prices have risen here in California and the world is full of violence. In the midst of all this, one thing that will always remain, Jesus Christ is King of the universe. When we allow Jesus Christ to reign over our lives then we take part in extending God’s Kingdom here on earth. I believe that Saint Paul put it best in his words to us two Sundays ago – “We should live lives that are worthy of imitation. We should not act in a disorderly way among people and to work for what we have. In the midst of difficult situations we continue to be responsible so as not to make ourselves a burden to others, nor should we live in such a way that we willfully make others clean up after us. St. Paul even went so far as to say, “if anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat.” To be a member of God’s Kingdom here on earth it must be visible that Christ reigns over you. In other words, be responsible, worthy of imitation. Be willing to do not only the easy tasks but even the hard work that needs to be done. Speak well, finish your work, don’t complain if someone has an easier time that you do. When things don’t go your way, pick up your cross and follow Jesus – that is to say – suck it up and move on. Don’t give in to panic. If Jesus Christ reigns, then we live the same life no matter what comes in the morning. May Jesus Christ Reign, Fr. Steven Guitron

Nov 26, 33vo Solemnidad de Jesucristo Rey del Universo Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas, Hoy, la solemnidad de Jesucristo, Rey del Universo, es el último domingo del Año de la Iglesia. Nos regocijamos en lo que aún no es, el

reinado completo de Dios sobre toda la humanidad en su segunda venida,, gloriosa al final de los tiempos. Esta celebración fue establecida en 1925 por el Papa Pío IX para contrarrestar varias malas tendencias. Para el mundo, Jesucristo era irrelevante: la religión era una cosa; la política y la economía estaban completamente desconectadas de la fe de uno. Era el momento en que los regímenes totalitarios ganaban terreno. La Iglesia quería mostrar que Jesucristo debe ser el Rey y el centro de la vida social, política y personal. De hecho, vivimos momentos muy similares en los que el mundo, incluso los católicos y otros cristianos convencionales, desconectan su fe del resto de sus vidas. Hoy debería ser una celebración del aquí y el ahora de cómo vivimos con Cristo reinando sobre nuestra vida entera. Nuestra mayordomía manifestará la realeza de Jesús en nuestras vidas, tanto en privado como en público. Cuando reconocemos que todo lo que tenemos y somos es pura bendición de Dios, nos preocuparemos por lo que Él nos ha dado al compartir nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro por gratitud a Cristo nuestro Rey. Cuando hacemos esto esperamos con esperanza de que su reino venga y al mismo tiempo edificamos su reino aquí y ahora. Es un año de la presidencia de Trump, y la atmósfera política está completamente al revés. Hay muchos que están enojados y muchos que se sienten aliviados; los precios de la gasolina han subido aquí en California y el mundo está lleno de violencia. En medio de todo esto, una cosa que siempre permanecerá, es que Jesucristo es el Rey del universo. Cuando permitimos que Jesucristo reine sobre nuestras vidas, entonces participamos en la extensión del Reino de Dios aquí en la tierra. Creo que San Pablo lo expresó mejor en sus palabras para nosotros dos domingos atrás: "Debemos vivir vidas dignas de imitación. No debemos actuar de forma desordenada entre las personas y trabajar para lo que tenemos. En medio de situaciones difíciles seguimos siendo responsables para no convertirnos en una carga para los demás, ni debemos vivir de tal manera que intencionalmente hacemos que otros limpien después de nosotros. San Pablo llegó incluso a decir: "si alguien no esta dispuesto a trabajar, tampoco debería comer". Para ser miembro del Reino de Dios aquí en la tierra, debe ser visible que Cristo reina sobre usted. En otras palabras, se responsable, digno de imitación. Esté dispuesto a hacer no solo las tareas fáciles sino incluso el trabajo duro que se necesita hacer. Habla bien, termina su trabajo, no te quejes si alguien tiene un tiempo más fácil que tú. Cuando las cosas no sigan su camino, levante su cruz y siga a Jesús, es decir, aspire y siga. No te rindas ante el pánico. Si Jesucristo reina, entonces viviremos la misma vida sin importar lo que llegue a la mañana. Que Jesucristo reine, Fr. Steven Guitron

Neglect is a common form of abuse

Neglect is the most common form of child abuse. It is the failure to meet a child’s basic needs, including housing, food, clothing,

education, safety and access to health care. Neglect is most often characterized by acts of omission that aren’t easy to see. The signs of neglect are wide and varied, and may include: failure to develop and grow appropriately, or malnourishment, among infants; wearing inadequate clothing for the weather; and children who seem to be wholly responsible for the welfare of their siblings. If you know that any type of abuse is occurring, or if a child discloses to you, it is important to communicate these concerns to the appropriate authorities. Call your local law enforcement or child protective services department to report suspected abuse of any kind. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “The Oft-Forgotten Type of Abuse: Neglect,” visit: http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx or call (213) 637-7508.

La negligencia es sinónimo de abuso

La negligencia es la forma más común de abuso infantil. Es la incapacidad de satisfacer

las necesidades básicas de un niño, incluyendo la vivienda, la alimentación, la vestimenta, la educación, la seguridad y el acceso al cuidado de salud. La negligencia se caracteriza más a menudo por actos de omisión que no son fáciles de “ver”, no es como el abuso físico, donde normalmente hay evidencia de marcas físicas. Los signos de negligencia son amplios y variados, y pueden incluir: falta de desarrollo y crecimiento físico adecuado o malnutrición entre los lactantes; vestir a los niños con ropa inadecuada para el clima; y niños que parecen estar a cargo del cuidado de sus hermanos. Si usted sabe que está ocurriendo cualquier tipo de abuso, o si un niño se lo revela a usted, es importante comunicar sus preocupaciones a las autoridades correspondientes. Llame al departamento de policía o al departamento de protección de menores para reportar sospechas de abuso de cualquier tipo. Para obtener una copia del artículo de VIRTUS® “The Oft-Forgotten Type of Abuse: Neglect” (El tipo de abuso comúnmente olvidado: negligencia), visite http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx o llame al (213) 637-7508.
