! "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." The two thieves that were crucified next to Jesus show two very different ways of understanding who Jesus was. The first thief insult-ed Jesus, prodded him, mocked him. He didn't believe that Jesus had any power whatsoever. Like the sneering crowds, he thought that it was a joke to label Jesus as the "King of the Jews." !! But the second thief, known in tradition as "the good thief," had a different perception. He un-derstood that Jesus did in fact have power because, as Jesus had told Pilate only hours earlier, his kingdom "is not of this world." The good thief understood that the kingdom of God awaits those who believe in the Lord. And when this man made that final act of faith on his own cross, Jesus promised him, "Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."!! Today as we celebrate the solemnity of Christ the King, we are challenged to have as much faith as the good thief. We are challenged to believe that Jesus is in fact the "King of the Uni-verse," even when it may not appear that way to those who stand by sneering. Jesus did not choose to hop down off the cross and make everything cheery. Instead he fulfilled his mission for an end result that was infinitely better than simply saving himself and those two thieves; by dying on the cross, he saved us all! So we too need to trust that just because Jesus doesn't always answer our prayers exactly how we want or expect, and just because we find ourselves carrying a cross from time to time, it does not mean he isn't in charge! On the contrary, we need to trust, as the good thief did, that Jesus' mission is to bring all of us to join him in his heavenly kingdom.!

OUR LADY OF HOPE! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! BEDFORD, OHIO!

! The King we celebrate today knew almost no glory in his life, and his Kingdom was hard earned through suffer-ing and death. This is the kind of king we can approach with confidence, for he knows our pain and our need for forgiveness.��

Dear Parishioners,!!!

! Thanksgiving Mass is one of my fa-vorite celebrations of the liturgical year. It is delightful that there is no collec-tion. Though not a Holyday of Obliga-tion, it is a time that people willingly choose to come to Eucharist (which means thanksgiving) just to say “thanks” to a God who is always providing for our needs. So much of our lives and our prayers are filled with our wants and needs and somehow we can never be satisfied in this life. It is so important to make a conscious decision to just say the Lord is my Shephard I shall not want and give thanks to Him for all that we are and all that we have. Let’s all gather on Thanksgiving morning to recognize the giver of all in the ultimate prayer of thanksgiving, the holy Eu-charist! It will help us to recognize and use well the wonderful gifts we have been given.!!

Love & Peace,�!

Fr. Dan�
