Christ the King
Samuel 5: 1-3
David is anointed king of Israel
All the tribes of Israel then came to David at Hebron and said, 'Look, we are your own flesh and bone. In days past when Saul was our king, it was you who led Israel on its campaigns, and to you it was that Yahweh promised, "You are to shepherd my people Israel and be leader of Israel." 'So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a pact with them in Yahweh's presence at Hebron, and they anointed David as king of Israel.
Psalm 122: 1-5
I rejoiced that they said to me,
‘Let us go to the house of Yahweh.’
At last our feet are standing
at your gates, Jerusalem!Jerusalem, built as a city,
in one united whole,
there the tribes go up,
the tribes of Yahweh,
a sign for Israel to give thanks
to the name of Yahweh.
For there are set the thrones of judgement,
the thrones of the house of David.Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,
prosperity for your homes!
Peace within your walls,
prosperity in your palaces!For love of my brothers and my friends
I will say, ‘Peace upon you!’
For love of the house of Yahweh our God
I will pray for your well–being.
giving thanks with joy to the Father who has made you able to share the lot of God's holy people and with them to inherit the light.
Because that is what he has done. It is he who has rescued us from the ruling force of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son that he loves, and in him we enjoy our freedom, the forgiveness of sin.
He is the image of the unseen God,
the first–born of all creation,
for in him were created all things
in heaven and on earth:
everything visible
and everything invisible,
thrones, ruling forces,
sovereignties, powers—
all things were created through him
and for him.
He exists before all things
and in him all things hold together,
and he is the Head of the Body,
that is, the Church.
He is the Beginning,
the first–born from the dead,
so that he should be supreme in every way;
because God wanted all fullness
to be found in him
and through him
to reconcile all things to him,
everything in heaven
and everything on earth,
by making peace through his death
on the cross.
Luke 23: 35-43
The crucified Christ is mocked
The people stayed there watching. As for the leaders, they jeered at him with the words, 'He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.' The soldiers mocked him too, coming up to him, offering him vinegar, and saying, 'If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.' Above him there was an inscription: 'This is the King of the Jews'.
The good thief
One of the criminals hanging there abused him: 'Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us as well.' But the other spoke up and rebuked him. 'Have you no fear of God at all?' he said. 'You got the same sentence as he did, but in our case we deserved it: we are paying for what we did. But this man has done nothing wrong.' Then he said, 'Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.' He answered him, 'In truth I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.'
Christ the King

INTRODUCTION
– (2 Samuel 5:1-3; Colossians 1:12-20; Luke 23:35-43) When the first king of Israel, King Saul, was killed in battle, the southern part of Israel (the tribes of Judah) chose David as their king. The northern part chose Ishbaal, King Saul’s son, to be their king. Ishbaal was inept and after seven years of chaos, the northern tribes turned to David and asked him to rule them also. This is where our first reading comes in. David was a brilliant and far-sighted military and political leader. David was able to conquer his enemies on all sides. In spite of his serious moral misadventures, for which he repented, the Jews always hoped for another king with his talents and capabilities. Kings were anointed when they assumed office, thus the king was called “the anointed one.” The Hebrew word for this is “Mashiah,” or as we say it: “Messiah.” As time went on, especially after the kingdom was destroyed by the Babylonians, the Jews longed for a king, a descendant of David, an anointed one, who would again rule in Israel and who would establish the peaceful and bountiful reign of God. When Mashiah is translated into Greek we have Χριστός. So when we call Jesus “Christ” we are in effect saying Jesus, the anointed one; i.e., the King. Christ’s kingdom is not an earthly one, as St. Paul tells us, but it is eternal and a sharing in God’s own authority, power and glory.HOMILY
– After the evening meal, with father, mother and little five-year old Brian, mother left the family rather quickly. Brian wanted to know where his mother was going. Dad said, “Mommy is going to a Tupperware party.” He thought for a moment, then asked, “What’s a Tupperware party?” Dad always tended to give simple, honest answers so he said, “Well, Brian, a Tupperware party is where a bunch of ladies sit around and sell plastic bowls to each other.” Brian nodded as if he understood, then burst out laughing and asked, “Come on, Dad, what is it really?” (from Laughter, the Best Medicine, Reader’s Digest, pg71)Brian could not picture a lot of ladies sitting around selling bowls to one another. The Jews, by and large, couldn’t picture Jesus as their Messiah and King and they didn’t think it was funny when the Apostles preached that he was. The Jews thought they knew what the Messiah was supposed to be: a glorious military and political leader, an idealized kind of King David who would overcome all their enemies, restore the kingship to Israel and initiate a reign of peace and prosperity. They also knew their Scriptures for they listened to them every week and they knew Deuteronomy 21:23 which said, “God’s curse rests on him who hangs on a tree.” They could not conceive of Jesus, a convicted criminal, crucified and hanging on a cross, as their Messiah. Pilate might have thought it some kind of a twisted joke that would embarrass the Jewish people to put a sign above Jesus’ head, which said he was the King of the Jews. But, by and large, especially among the Jewish leaders, the idea of Jesus as Messiah was not only offensive, but blasphemous, and they were ready to punish anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was their Messiah, their king.
Jesus tried to tell them that his kingdom would be different from any kingdom they had ever known: “My kingdom is not of this world.” Perhaps some of them could see how different his kingdom would be when they challenged him to save himself and he didn’t. They knew of his amazing powers, but he chose not to use them to save himself. Instead he was willing to suffer extraordinary pain and humiliation to save us.
Think for a moment how great a faith the “good thief” had to be able to have to recognize Jesus as a king: “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Nowhere in any of the literature of that time do we find anyone who anticipated their Messiah would have to suffer. Their Messiah would be a glorious, powerful figure. The “good thief” had to be able to see through all the expectations of the Jewish people; he had to be able to see through the weakness and failure that he was able to observe in Jesus and to affirm that Jesus was indeed a king. It is an act of faith that each of us must make individually if he is to be our king, and if we wish to be with him in his kingdom, a kingdom that will be for each of us the fullness of life that he came to bring us.
It is interesting that is was only 85 years ago that the Church established this feast of Our Lord, Jesus Christ the King. It was instituted as a corrective to the secular atmosphere of the times. However, as we can see in today’s second reading. honoring Jesus as king has been part of the tradition of the Church from the beginning. This passage is “one of the most important theological statements about the person of Christ in the New Testament.” (
The Collegeville Bible Commentary, pg 1182) It proclaims that Christ existed before all creation and is preeminent among all creatures and that all things were created through his mediation. Therefore, he existed before all creation and is preeminent among all creatures. One verse is especially appropriate for this week of Thanksgiving as we read: “Let us give thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light. He delivered us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son.” “Let us give thanks,” the letter to the Colossians says, it doesn’t suggest we just say thanks. Giving thanks involves more than just saying it.That brings us to why we are here today, to give thanks for God’s many blessings, especially for bringing us into the kingdom of his beloved Son. Being part of his kingdom is an honor and a privilege that, although we do not appreciate it as much as we should now, we will praise God for all of eternity, and we will never grow tired of doing so. So let us give thanks to the Lord our God. Amen.

32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
2 Maccabees 7: 1-2, 9-14
It also happened that seven brothers were arrested with their mother. The king tried to force them to taste some pork, which the Law forbids, by torturing them with whips and scourges. One of them, acting as spokesman for the others, said, 'What are you trying to find out from us? We are prepared to die rather than break the laws of our ancestors.'
With his last breath he exclaimed, 'Cruel brute, you may discharge us from this present life, but the King of the world will raise us up, since we die for his laws, to live again for ever.'
After him, they tortured the third, who on being asked for his tongue promptly thrust it out and boldly held out his hands, courageously saying, 'Heaven gave me these limbs; for the sake of his laws I have no concern for them; from him I hope to receive them again.' The king and his attendants were astounded at the young man's courage and his utter indifference to suffering.
When this one was dead they subjected the fourth to the same torments and tortures. When he neared his end he cried, 'Ours is the better choice, to meet death at men's hands, yet relying on God's promise that we shall be raised up by him; whereas for you there can be no resurrection to new life.'
Psalm 17: 1, 5-6, 8, 15
Prayer Of David
Listen, Yahweh, to an upright cause,
pay attention to my cry,
lend an ear to my prayer,
my lips free from deceit.my steps never stray from the paths you lay down,
from your tracks; so my feet never stumble.
I call upon you, God, for you answer me;
turn your ear to me, hear what I say.Guard me as the pupil of an eye,
shelter me in the shadow of your wingsBut I in my uprightness will see your face,
and when I awake I shall be filled with the vision of you.
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who has given us his love and, through his grace, such ceaseless encouragement and such sure hope, encourage you and strengthen you in every good word and deed.
Finally, brothers, pray for us that the Lord's message may spread quickly, and be received with honour as it was among you; and pray that we may be preserved from bigoted and evil people, for not everyone has faith. You can rely on the Lord, who will give you strength and guard you from the evil One, and we, in the Lord, have every confidence in you, that you are doing and will go on doing all that we tell you. May the Lord turn your hearts towards the love of God and the perseverance of Christ.
Some Sadducees-those who argue that there is no resurrection-approached him and they put this question to him, 'Master, Moses prescribed for us, if a man's married brother dies childless, the man must marry the widow to raise up children for his brother. Well then, there were seven brothers; the first, having married a wife, died childless. The second and then the third married the widow. And the same with all seven, they died leaving no children. Finally the woman herself died. Now, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be, since she had been married to all seven?'
Jesus replied, 'The children of this world take wives and husbands, but those who are judged worthy of a place in the other world and in the resurrection from the dead do not marry because they can no longer die, for they are the same as the angels, and being children of the resurrection they are children of God. And Moses himself implies that the dead rise again, in the passage about the bush where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Now he is God, not of the dead, but of the living; for to him everyone is alive.'

R. Sing: Be Not Afraid
The Jews were being persecuted for their
faith – the Greeks wanted the Jews to be
like them – worship their gods –
the Jews were doing what they were supposed
to and so they thought; why were they
being persecuted –
The solution was to see beyond this life to
eternal life – those who die,
they seemed to be dead, but they
are not dead.
Wisdom 3: 1-6, 9
But the souls of the upright are in the hands of God,
and no torment can touch them.
To the unenlightened, they appeared to die,
their departure was regarded as disaster,
their leaving us like annihilation;
but they are at peace.
If, as it seemed to us, they suffered punishment,
their hope was rich with immortality;
slight was their correction, great will their blessings be.
God was putting them to the test
and has proved them worthy to be with him;
he has tested them like gold in a furnace,
and accepted them as a perfect burnt offering.Those who trust in him will understand the truth,
those who are faithful will live with him in love;
for grace and mercy await his holy ones,
and he intervenes on behalf of his chosen.
"God tried them and found them worthy
of Himself"
"Grace and Mercy are with His Holy Ones"
Sing: Shepherd Me Oh God
Romans 8: 31-35, 37-39
After saying this, what can we add? If God is for us, who can be against us? Since he did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for the sake of all of us, then can we not expect that with him he will freely give us all his gifts? Who can bring any accusation against those that God has chosen? When God grants saving justice who can condemn? Are we not sure that it is Christ Jesus, who died — yes and more, who was raised from the dead and is at God's right hand — and who is adding his plea for us? Can anything cut us off from the love of Christ-can hardships or distress, or persecution, or lack of food and clothing, or threats or violence;
No; we come through all these things triumphantly victorious, by the power of him who loved us. For I am certain of this: neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nothing already in existence and nothing still to come, nor any power, nor the heights nor the depths, nor any created thing whatever, will be able to come between us and the love of God, known to us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 6: 37-40
Everyone whom the Father gives me
will come to me;
I will certainly not reject
anyone who comes to me,
because I have come from heaven,
not to do my own will,
but to do the will of him who sent me.
Now the will of him who sent me
is that I should lose nothing
of all that he has given to me,
but that I should raise it up
on the last day.
It is my Father’s will
that whoever sees the Son
and believes in him
should have eternal life,
and that I should raise that person up
on the last day.
Fr Joe's Homily
R. It was a great privilege to know Ralph
and to have been his friend for 40 years. Fr. Joe
met Ralph at St. Margaret Mary Church –
We had some challenging meetings there
for education – meetings –
When I saw Ralph Friday – Fr. Joe said
to Ralph – I want to bless you, Ralph said bless
everybody, he was so generous – he wanted
to share the blessing. As a Doctor (Chiropractor)
he helped alleviate many peoples pain. Ralph helped
so many. The few words I can say, I can't say a
lot about Ralph in any time and how he really was.
He loved God so much, He loved his
country, He loved Jeanne, He loved
his patients – he had a troubled
time these last 3 years. Now he
is at peace.
This life is not everything there is.
We need to know this transition into
new life.
I give my sympathy and love to the family
and Ralph – we all know we will be
where he is – someday, somebody will
be doing this for you and me.
We ask the Lord to take Ralph to Himself.
Fr. Joe said: "If Ralph is having a difficult time
getting through the Pearly - Gates –
then we are all in trouble."
God hears the voices of those who
trust in Him.
Lord Jesus you lived on this earth and
walked the earth and died –
you rose on the 3rd day –
Comfort us, Lord Jesus.
Lord Jesus, You love us more than
we can imagine – we believe
Ralph is with You, comfort
us with this thought –
help us Lord.
God You are our shelter and our
strength – help us and help
the souls get to heaven.
We love You God!

This is My Blood
A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.
-Mass Book, December 27, 1995
R. Mary, our Mother, stands by the altar.
Through Him, With Him and In Him
AMEN.
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Lamb of God
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Given November 21, 2013 - Commemoration of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
R. Mary was taken to the temple – when she
was a small child –
We see how Greeks were trying to make
Jews give up their faith –
Some gave into Greeks
Those that were loyal to God keeping
to God's Covenant and Law were
victorious.
1 Maccabees 2: 15-29
The king's commissioners who were enforcing the apostasy came to the town of Modein for the sacrifices. Many Israelites gathered round them, but Mattathias and his sons drew apart. The king's commissioners then addressed Mattathias as follows, 'You are a respected leader, a great man in this town; you have sons and brothers to support you. Be the first to step forward and conform to the king's decree, as all the nations have done, and the leaders of Judah and the survivors in Jerusalem; you and your sons shall be reckoned among the Friends of the King, you and your sons will be honoured with gold and silver and many presents.' Raising his voice, Mattathias retorted, 'Even if every nation living in the king's dominions obeys him, each forsaking its ancestral religion to conform to his decrees, I, my sons and my brothers will still follow the covenant of our ancestors. May Heaven preserve us from forsaking the Law and its observances. As for the king's orders, we will not follow them: we shall not swerve from our own religion either to right or to left.' As he finished speaking, a Jew came forward in the sight of all to offer sacrifice on the altar in Modein as the royal edict required. When Mattathias saw this, he was fired with zeal; stirred to the depth of his being, he gave vent to his legitimate anger, threw himself on the man and slaughtered him on the altar. At the same time he killed the king's commissioner who was there to enforce the sacrifice, and tore down the altar. In his zeal for the Law he acted as Phinehas had against Zimri son of Salu. Then Mattathias went through the town, shouting at the top of his voice, 'Let everyone who has any zeal for the Law and takes his stand on the covenant come out and follow me.' Then he fled with his sons into the hills, leaving all their possessions behind in the town.
Many people who were concerned for virtue and justice went down to the desert and stayed there,
Psalm 50: 1-2, 5-6, 14-15
The God of gods, Yahweh, is speaking,
from east to west he summons the earth.
From Zion, perfection of beauty, he shines forth;
'Gather to me my faithful,
who sealed my covenant by sacrifice.'
The heavens proclaim his saving justice,
'God himself is judge.' Pause‘Let thanksgiving be your sacrifice to God,
fulfil the vows you make to the Most High;
then if you call to me in time of trouble
I will rescue you and you will honour me.'
Luke 19:41-44
Lament for Jerusalem
As he drew near and came in sight of the city he shed tears over it and said, ‘If you too had only recognised on this day the way to peace! But in fact it is hidden from your eyes! Yes, a time is coming when your enemies will raise fortifications all round you, when they will encircle you and hem you in on every side; they will dash you and the children inside your walls to the ground; they will leave not one stone standing on another within you, because you did not recognise the moment of your visitation.'
R. Many in those days told you what to do.
The Greeks had gods and goddesses and tried to
force them on everybody else –
Jesus was going toward Jerusalem in Luke's Gospel –
The 10 Chapters of Luke's narrative is Jesus going to Jerusalem –
The Journey Narrative –
Jesus was in the city now –
There is a place where Jesus wept –
R. Today there is a
chapel formed like a tear drop –
If we follow Jesus' way we will
always in the end win.

as a shelter against false gods.

Guiding Light
- Reflect on the Word
Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle
B — The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and
reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal
concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a
sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this
day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We
believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as
priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and
Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our
congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand.

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A — The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15 | ||

|
Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C — In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15 |
Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B — At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15 |
