Better that only a few Catholics should be left,

the open foes of our faith.

CHURCH COLLECTION
Our Parish Collections Sun. Nov. 16 $ 10,486.00
We appreciate the generosity of you, our parishioners. When we have a
second collection, people tend to split their usual offering between the
two collections, which is understandable given the pressure of our economic times. However we rely on the first collection to keep the parish
and school going and pay the bills. We ask that if there are two collections you include the usual amount you give in the first collection and do
the best you can with the second if you are able to.

FROM THE DESK
OF FR. MIZZI-GILI
Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King
Here we are at the last grand liturgical
celebration of the liturgical year- the Solemnity
of Christ the King! Originally this feast was
celebrated in October, but has been transferred
to the Sunday before Advent .
This particular solemnity, brings with it
the celebration like that of Easter Sunday. We
come to recognize “the one who writes straight
with crooked lines.” Pope Benedict XVI We come
to recognize that Jesus Christ, the second person
of the Blessed Trinity, the Incarnation, is hailed
“the King.” The words Christ, which is a title,
means king. Pope Benedict writes this about Jesus of Nazareth that He “is so intrinsically king
that the title ‘king’ becomes his name. By calling
ourselves Christians, we label ourselves as followers
of the king.”
When we look at Him or talk about Him,
we must realize that Christ is teaches us every
moment of every day how to live our lives as
Christians or as ‘king’ followers. Look at the
readings for today, and you will see for yourself
how Jesus Christ takes care of us- like a shepherd tending his sheep. Go back to Palm Sunday and the significance of that day. The people
are singing “hosanna to the son of David.” Today on the Solemnity of Christ the King, we
sing, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of
the Lord!”
From this day forward and through the
intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary and
our patron saint St. Eugene, we ask that we cultivate in our hearts, mind and soul that true,
obedient and humble nature to follow in the
footsteps of the King, Jesus Christ, Son of God
and Son of Mary!
Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus Imperat!
Buona Domenica!
Good Sunday!
FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING
November 23,2014
Today, the last Sunday of the liturgical year, we are celebrating the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the
Universe. We know from the Gospels that Jesus refused
the title of king when it was meant in the political sense, by
the standards of the "rulers of the Gentiles" (Mt 20: 25). On
the other hand, during his Passion, he claimed a unique
kingship before Pilate, who explicitly asked him "So you
are a king?", and Jesus answered, "You say that I am a
king" (Jn 18: 37); however just previously he had declared,
"My kingship is not of this world" (Jn 18: 36). Christ's kingship is in fact a revelation and actuation of that of God the
Father, who governs all things with love and justice. The
Father entrusted to the Son the mission of giving mankind
eternal life by loving it to the point of supreme sacrifice
and, at the same time, conferred upon him the power of
judging humanity, since he made himself Son of man, like
us in all things (cf. Jn 5: 21-22, 26-27).
Today's Gospel insists precisely on the universal kingship
of Christ the Judge, with the stupendous parable of the
Last Judgment, which St Matthew placed immediately before the Passion narrative (25: 31-46). The images are simple, the language is popular, but the message is extremely
important: it is the truth about our ultimate destiny and
about the criterion by which we will be evaluated. "I was
hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave
me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me" (Mt 25:
35) and so forth. Who does not know this passage? It is
part of our civilization. It has marked the history of the peoples of Christian culture: the hierarchy of values, the institutions, the multiple charitable and social organizations. In
fact, the Kingdom of Christ is not of this world, but it brings
to fulfillment all the good that, thank God, exists in man and
in history. If we put love for our neighbour into practice in
accordance with the Gospel message, we make room for
God's dominion and his Kingdom is actualized among us.
If, instead, each one thinks only of his or her own interests,
the world can only go to ruin.
Dear friends, the Kingdom of God is not a matter of honours and appearances but, as St Paul writes, it is
"righteousness and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Rm
14: 17). The Lord has our good at heart, that is, that every
person should have life, and that especially the "least" of
his children may have access to the banquet he has prepared for all. Thus he has no use for the forms of hypocrisy
of those who say: "Lord, Lord" and then neglect his commandments (cf. Mt 7: 21). In his eternal Kingdom, God welcomes those who strive day after day to put his Word into
practice. For this reason the Virgin Mary, the humblest of
all creatures, is the greatest in his eyes and sits as Queen
at the right of Christ the King. Let us once again entrust
ourselves to her heavenly intercession with filial trust, to be
able to carry out our Christian mission in the world.
