November 24, 2019
In today’s gospel, the Kingdom and Kingship of Jesus are
set in the countercultural context of the cross. As startling as
this is, it may be a good shot of realism for those of us who
struggle through life. The King we celebrate today bears
little semblance to our royal stereotypes. He knew almost no
glory in his life, and his Kingdom was hard earned through
suffering and death. This is the kind of king we can approach
with con(idence, for he knows our pain and our need for
forgiveness.
We pray with Christ, the suffering King, for the suffering
people of the world.
For the church: that it may be a viable witness to Christ as
the suffering King we pray,
For those who suffer to bring about God’s reign on earth: for
martyrs, prophets and advocates for peace and justice…we
pray,
For those across the world who do not yet know peace or
justice, especially refugees…we pray,
For a smooth political transition that ensures national unity
and the ability to work together for the common good…we
pray,
During this Thanksgiving Week, we ask for grateful hearts to
share our abundance with those in need…we pray,
For those who provide the food we enjoy during this holiday,
especially for farmers and those who work in the food
industry…we pray,
For the poor and hungry among us; for the sick and dying;
and for those who have died we pray,
PRAYER: God of the powerless: You gave us your son to
usher in a new reign of peace and justice. Jesus has shown us
that this Kingdom is inhabited by those whose only power is
love. We pray for the courage to live in and strengthen this
Kingdom, meant for all. In his holy and powerful name, we
pray. Amen.

ADVENT DECORATING HOLY FAMILY PARISH
HOLY FAMILY PARISH JESUS CHRIST KING OF THE UNIVERSE
FESTA DE CRISTO REI DO UNIVERSO – NOVEMBRO/17/2019 ENCERRAMENTO DO ANO SANTO DA MISERICÓRDIA
Filhos e filhas amados, aproveito esse domingo para trazer algumas frases da Sua Santidade o Papa Francisco e que suas simples e sábias palavras toquem nosso coração e transforme nossa atitude que deve ser de Misericórdia. Em um mundo atingido pelo vírus da indiferença, as obras de misericórdia são o melhor antídoto. Se quiseres encontrar Deus, procura-o onde Ele está escondido: nos mais necessitados, nos doentes, nos famintos, nos presos. «Senhor, ajudai-me a abrir de par em par a porta do meu coração!». Queridos amigos, não esqueçamos nunca que, nas pessoas necessitadas se encontra Jesus. Não nos esqueçamos da beleza! A humanidade tem necessidade dela. Façamos brilhar a misericórdia de Deus em nosso mundo através do diálogo, da acolhida recíproca e da colaboração fraterna. O perdão é a essência do amor, que sabe compreender o erro e pôr-lhe remédio. Deixemo-nos comover pelo olhar de Deus; tudo o que Ele deseja é que permaneçamos unidos como ramos
vivos ao seu Filho Jesus. A vida cristã é um caminho, mas não é um caminho triste, é um caminho jubiloso. A unidade entre os cristãos é uma prioridade, porque reconhecemos que entre nós é muito mais aquilo que nos une do que aquilo que nos separa Vamos abandonar a linguagem de condenação para abraçar a linguagem da misericórdia. A lógica da caridade é chegar a perder tudo para que a unidade e o amor vençam. O amor é obra paciente de pessoas que vivem ouvindo e aproximando-se dos outros. Hoje, mais do que nunca, precisamos que a política e a economia se coloquem a serviço da vida. Somos discípulos, missionários e portadores de Cristo lá onde Ele quer estar presente. Nessa semana preparemos nosso coração para iniciarmos um Tempo muito Especial na Igreja – O Tempo do Advento que é a espera do Natal do Menino Deus.
No 1º domingo do Advento, você encontrará a Árvore De Doação da Sagrada Família. Na árvore haverá etiquetas; na parte de trás de cada marca é o item necessário. Alguns destes artigos serão brinquedos ou roupa e podem ser envolvidos e coloc a árvore pelo ó domingo do advento, 14 de dezembro & 15th.
Certifique-se de usar um pedaço de fita sobre o fio para que não temos de re-wrap novamente. Por favor, tenha presentes a tempo, porque nossos maravilhosos tra-balhadores também precisam de tempo para suas famílias. As etiquetas têm de ser removidas e o nome da criança é colocado a tempo para o feriado.

On the 1st Sunday of Advent you will find the Holy Family Giving Tree. On the tree there will be tags; on the back of each tag is the item needed. Some of these items will be toys or clothes and may be wrapped and placed under the tree by the 3rd Sunday of Advent, December 14th & 15th. Be sure to use ONE piece of tape over the yarn so we do not have to re-wrap again. There are also some tags asking for donations toward fuel, electricity and food. These donations may be placed in an envelope, with the tag taped on top, and placed in the basket during the weekly offertory collection.
These offerings will be given at the Christmas Season and throughout the winter months to those parishioners who are in need and seek the help and assistance of the St. Vincent DePaul Society. If you wish to purchase a Gift Certificate for Food at a local mar-ket you may do so, or you are welcome to share a cash donation if you prefer. Any gift given will be most appreciated.
Please have gifts in on time, because our wonderful workers need time for their families too. Tags have to be removed and the child’s name put on in time for the holiday. It is our hope and our belief that your Christmas will be made brighter through giving to others so that they will know and experi-ence the joy and the love of that first Christmas Day, long, long ago.
