Question of the Week:
Fr. Gerard’s Corner The solemnity of Christ the King was established in 1925, in the aftermath of the Great War and the rise of nationalism, which served to divide people and often cultures. Since nations put their own self-interest above all, conflict naturally arose. Today, nearly one hundred years later, the powers of the world are no closer to a just and lasting peace than they were after any major war. But in Jesus, the King of all Kings, the ruler of a kingdom that is not of this world, we have found that just and lasting peace.
In Revelation we hear that Jesus Christ “has made us into a kingdom” (Revelation 1:6). The kingdom, as Jesus testifies to Pilate, is not of this world, in the sense of belonging to this world. But it is in this world, for we are the kingdom of God. It is, therefore, our responsibility, our mission, to build up that kingdom. We are entrusted to this mission by our common priesthood, this identity we received in baptism when we put on Christ. We may be citizens of our country, but we belong to the body of Christ.
Jesus does not answer Pilate’s questions directly because he realizes a simple answer would be misleading. Both Pilate and the Jewish authorities hold assumptions that do not apply to his kingship. He is not the kind of Messiah the Jewish people were expecting, nor is he the kind of revolutionary who aimed to take political power by force. Jesus is beyond both, with a greater mission and a greater kingdom than either was expecting. Fr. Gerard

Eucharistic Adoration
CHRIST IS KING On the final Sunday of the liturgical year we celebrate the feast of Christ the King. It’s easy to understand today’s scriptures as events that happened long ago and far away, or predictions that will come true somewhere, some day. But they invite us to claim Christ as our King here and now. Jesus’ words to Pilate in the Gospel remind us that his kingdom transcends time and place. And the prophecies from Daniel and Revelation give us reason to be faithful to Christ our King right here and right now.
By concluding the year with this feast we are proclaiming our faith that Jesus Christ is the one and only King over all seasons, all peoples, and all of creation. No matter what nation we belong to or what language we speak, he “has made us into a kingdom” (Revelation 1:6) — one people united in love and peace for all eternity.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Although our Puritan forebears at Plymouth Rock were almost a hundred years removed from their Catholic roots, the old liturgical calendar still had an unconscious claim on their hearts. We’ve already seen how on Saint Martin’s Day, November 11, medieval continental Europe observed a great harvest day of Thanksgiving, with games, dances, parades, and a festive dinner of roast goose. With the goose went ample draughts of “Saint Martin’s Wine,” the first wine of the new harvest. Martinmas celebrated full barns and larders stocked for the winter. Even after the Reformation, the tradition of eating goose on Saint Martin’s Day was retained in Holland, and it was there that our Pilgrims encountered this tradition. When Governor Bradford sent four hunters out into the Massachusetts wilderness in the autumn of 1621, they did indeed find some geese and ducks, and were persuaded by the indigenous people to try turkey, too.
Just as the liturgical calendar has been tweaked over the years, President Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving to the third Thursday in November in 1939, probably to extend the Christmas shopping season. The protest was so great that in 1941 the day established by President Lincoln, the last Thursday in November, was restored. If the Pilgrims had known of the Martinmas connection, they might never have celebrated at all!

Pregunta del Día
La solemnidad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo se estableció en el año 1925 en las secuelas de la primera guerra mundial y el nacimiento del nacionalismo, el cual dio lugar a la división de pueblos y culturas. Como las naciones ponían sus propios intereses por encima de todo, surgió naturalmente el conflicto. En la actualidad, casi cien años más tarde, los poderes del mundo no están más cerca de lograr una paz justa y duradera, después de haber pasado por varias guerras grandes. Pero en Jesús, el Rey de los reyes de un reino que no es de este mundo, hemos encontrado esa paz justa y duradera.
El libro del Apocalipsis nos dice que Jesucristo “ha hecho de nosotros un reino” (Apocalipsis 1, 6). Ese reino, tal como Jesús testifica ante Pilato, no es de este mundo, o sea, no pertenece a este mundo; pero está en el mundo, puesto que nosotros somos el Reino de Dios. Por lo tanto es nuestra responsabilidad y nuestra misión construir ese reino. Se nos ha confiado esa misión por nuestro sacerdocio común, cuya identidad recibimos en nuestro bautismo cuando nos revestimos de Cristo. Somos ciudadanos de nuestro país, pero pertenecemos al cuerpo de Cristo.
Jesús no contesta las preguntas de Pilato directamente, porque sabe que una sola y simple respuesta resultaría confusa. Tanto Pilato como las autoridades judías asumen cosas que no son aplicables al reino de Jesús. Él no es la clase de Mesías que el pueblo judío esperaba, ni tampoco el revolucionario cuyo objetivo era tomar el poder político por la fuerza. Jesús tiene una misión y un reino que están muy por encima de lo que Pilato y las autoridades judías esperaban.

CRISTO ES REY El último domingo del año litúrgico celebramos la fiesta de Cristo Rey. Puede que entendamos las lecturas de hoy como acontecimientos que sucedieron hace mucho, mucho tiempo o predicciones que se harán realidad algún día en algún lugar. Pero en realidad nos invitan a aclamar a Cristo como nuestro Rey aquí y ahora. Las palabras de Jesús a Pilatos en el Evangelio nos recuerdan que su Reino trasciende el tiempo y el espacio. Y las profecías de Daniel y del Apocalipsis nos dan motivos para ser fieles a Cristo, nuestro Rey, aquí y ahora.
Al terminar el año con esta fiesta proclamamos nuestra fe en que Jesucristo es el único Rey de todos los tiempos, pueblos y de toda la Creación. Sin importar cuál sea nuestra nacionalidad ni qué idioma hablemos: Cristo “y ha hecho de nosotros un reino” (Apocalipsis 1:6), en un pueblo unido en el amor y la paz por toda la eternidad.
