Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to you. Allow Your healing hand to heal them. Touch their soul with Your compassion for others. Touch their Heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch their mind with Your wisdom, that their

mouth may always proclaim Your praise. Teach them to reach out to You in their need, and help them to lead others to You by example. Most lo-ving Heart of Jesús, bring them health in body and spirit that they may serve You with all their strength. Touch gently these lives which You have created, now and forever. Amen.

Gospel: John 18: 33-37 What kind of king is Jesus? In this reading from the passion story in John's Gospel, Jesus provides us with his own an-swer. Pontius Pilate was the Roman official who held power in Palestine. He asks Jesus if he is the king of the Jews. Pilate

really wants to know whether Jesus might be part of a Jewish revolt against Roman rule. Jesus assures Pilate that his kingdom is not of this world. He is not one who rules by force. However he is a king who came into the world to "testify to the truth." All who recognize him as "the way and the truth and the life" will hear his voice (John 14:6). As the Church year comes to a close, we are grateful for the ways in which we have heard our King's voice in the liturgy this year. We consider how to live the words of Jesus more faithfully as the circle of the new liturgical year be-gins. 1.)Trial scenes are often dramatized in movies and on TV. Imagine that you are a Roman soldier who is present at Pilate's official residence as the prisoner Jesus of Nazareth is being questioned. What might you think when you heard Jesus' answer to Pilate's question, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Why might you be surprised when you heard Jesus describe his kingdom? How might you respond when you heard why Jesus had come into the world? How do you think you would feel about this prisoner-king who was facing a possible death sentence? ready for Jesus to come again?

Evangeglio: Juan 18: 33-37 ¿Qué tipo de rey es Jesús? En esta lectura de la historia de la pasión

de Jesús en el Evangelio de Juan, Jesús nos ofrece su re-spuesta. Poncio Pilato era un oficial romano, gobernador de Palestina. El le pregunta a Jesús si él es el rey de los judíos. Pilato realmente quiere saber si Jesús esa parte de

una revuelta de los judíos en contra de Roma. Jesús le asegura a Pi-lato que su reino no es de este mundo. El no gobierna a la fuerza. Sin embargo, él es un rey que vine al mundo a "dar testimonio de la ver-dad". Todo el que lo reconoce como "el camino, la verdad y la vida" escuchará su voz (Juan 15:6). Al terminar el año litúrgico, estamos agradecidos por las formas en que hemos escuchado la voz de nuestro rey durante al año. Consideramos como vivir la palabra de Jesús con más fidelidad al iniciar un nuevo ciclo. 1.) ¿Los juicios, en las películas, son generalmente dramáticos. Imagina que eres un soldado romano que está presente en la residencia oficial de Pilato cuando el prisionero, Jesús de Nazart, es interrogado. ¿Qué crees escuchar a Jesús responder a Pilato cuando le pregunta "¿Eres tú el rey de los judíos?" ¿Por qué te sorprenderías al escuchar a Jesús describir su reino? ¿Cómo puedes responder cuando escuchas por qué Jesús ha venido al mundo? ¿Cómo te sentirías acerca de este prisionero, rey, que puede ser sen-tenciado a muerte?

Administrator’s Corner November 25, 2012 = Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Uni-

verse (B) How does Jesus testify to the truth?

Today’s gospel tells of Pilate’s questioning of Jesus at his trial. Pilate was trying to find out just who Jesus was. Christ said that while he is a king, his kingdom is not of this world. Instead, Jesus came into the world to tes-tify to the “truth.” That is, to testify to the Father, to bring the good news of salvation to all humanity. That’s the only purpose of his existence. Pilate was skeptical of Jesus and his being a king. The Apostles and Christ’s other followers, on the other hand, looked upon him with eyes of faith and trust. As Peter had said, “Lord, to whom should we go? You have the words of eternal life. That is the essence of the choice each of us must make. Is Jesus our king or not? God bless you. Fr. Alex

Esquina del Administrador Noviembre 25 del 2012-Ntro. Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo

¿Cómo testifica Dios a la Verdad? En el Evangelio de hoy, Pilatos cuestiona a Jesús durante su interrogatorio, tratando de descubrir quien realmente era. Este le responde que él es Rey, mas no de este mundo. Jesús vino para dar testimonio de la verdad. Vino para dar testimonio al Padre y llevar la Buena Nueva de Salvación a toda la humanidad.. Esa fue su únicas misión aquí en la Tie-rra. Pilatos no creía que Jesús fuera Rey. En cambio, los apóstoles y los seguidores de Cristo si creían y confiaban en él debido a su fe. En las palabras de Pedro: “Señor, ¿a quén acudiremos? Tú eres la Palabra que nos da la vida eterna.” Esa es en verdad, la esencia de nuestra decisión: ¿Aceptamos a Cristo como nuestro Rey? ¡Que Dios los bendiga! Padre Alex

CRISTO REY

La selección del libro de Daniel para la primera lectura de hoy forma parte de un intento de tejer una visión del éxito final de los judíos perseguidos. Exactamente qué tenía el autor en mente cuando se refiere a “uno se-mejante a un Hijo de hombre” es muy dispu-tado por los eruditos de hoy. El hecho es que, simplemente, no sabemos si el autor quiso decir a alguien en particular o si se trata de una imagen colectiva, figurativa del triunfo de Israel. Lo que sí sabemos es que la primera comunidad cristiana se apoderó de este pasaje y lo reconoció como una profecía mesiánica, un anuncio de la victoria final de Jesús como el Cristo de Dios. El contraste que hace el leccionario de este texto con la narrativa del Evangelio de hoy de Jesús ante Pilato es un maravilloso ejemplo de cómo la liturgia da a ciertos pasajes nuevas “capas” de significado mediante la inserción en un contexto particu-lar. La celebración de Cristo Rey nos permite escuchar estos pasajes con una nueva profundidad de significado a la luz de nuestra comprensión contemporánea de cómo, en Jesús y su Resurrección y Ascensión, hemos visto el cumplimiento de la visión de Daniel de la liberación final. La admisión velada de Jesús ante Pilato que, efectivamente, él tenía un reino pero “no aquí” toma un nuevo signifi-cado con la visión cósmica de Daniel sirviendo de fondo, que nos permite vislumbrar al “Anciano” en su trono celestial.
