Our Lord Jesus Christ the King November 25, 2012

A Eucharistic Community Living The Good News Daily

Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Parish San Clemente, California

O n this solemnity of Christ the King we are reminded how Jesus spoke truth to power—the power of the mighty

Roman Empire in the person of Pontius Pilate, the prefect (governor) of the Roman province of Judea and the local representative of the Emperor Tiberius. Pilate’s role in this backwater province was to keep order, prevent uprisings, and ensure that taxes were paid to Rome. Today’s Gospel reading shows that Pilate couldn’t quite decide what to make of Jesus. He obviously wasn’t a mob leader, a zealot, or a con man. Jewish leaders had told Pilate of Jesus’ claim to be King of the Jews, which could be interpreted as a potential threat to Roman rule. Jesus said if he were claiming kingly rule in Judea his followers would be rising up in revolt. Jesus said to Pilate, “My kingdom does not belong to this world.” More importantly, he added, “I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice” (John 18:36, 37). Pilate was reluctant to condemn Jesus because he could find no fault in him, but his reluctance was finally overridden by fear of a riot or even rebellion by the Jews against Roman rule. Jesus “suffered under Pontius Pilate,” as we say in the Creed, because only Pilate could order crucifixion. The Gospels clearly show the political maneuvering between Roman rulers and Jewish religious leaders, neither of whom wanted any threat to their particular powers. Jesus was outside their usual frame of reference. He was a puzzle and a contradiction to them. He ruled by neither violence nor oppression; he simply witnessed to God’s truth. Anyone seeking this truth has only to listen and to respond to become part of the kingdom of God.

November 25, 2012 Our Lord Jesus Christ the King 3

From our Pastor, Fr. Michael P. Hanifin

Dear Parishioners and Friends of Our Lady of Fatima, This weekend is the Feast of Christ the King. This special day marks the conclusion of the Litur-gical year and the conclusion of the Cycle B readings. In 1925 Pope Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King by proclaiming “Pax Christi in regno Christi” or the peace of Christ in the reign of Christ. This day was established and proclaimed by the Pope to reassert the sovereignty of Christ and the Church over all forms of government and to remind Christians of the fidelity and loyalty they owe to Christ who by his Incarnation and sacrificial death on the cross had made them adopted children of God and future citizens and heirs of the kingdom of heaven. We honor Christ the King of the Universe and the King of our hearts, allowing Jesus to rule over our lives. In thousands of hearts all over the world, Jesus still reigns as King.

I like to listen to talk radio and Dennis Prager is one of my favorites. A young woman called recently and stated that her generation was becoming increasingly secular. She stated that the Democrat Party relates better to an ever growing secu-lar population. She asked him if the Republican Party would ever adapt to better relate to a population that no longer relates to religion. Dennis Prager responded by saying that accommodating the growing secularism in our society is never good. Religion and faith have brought many important values to our country. In his latest book, Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph, Prager reflects on three val-ues our country is known for: E Pluribus Unum, Liberty, and In God We Trust. These values have formed our citizenry and allowed us to become the country that other nations look to for, and associate with, freedom and liberty. These val-ues came out of a Judeo-Christian heritage that must not be minimized or marginalized. Think of the many nations of the world who historically and presently live under the cloud of tyranny. These people desire to live in a land where their rights and dignity are respected. In his January 11, 1989 farewell address to the na-tion, President Ronald Regan said, “And how stands the city on this winter night? … After 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true to the granite ridge and her glow has held no matter what storm. And she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the dark-ness, toward home." Jesus Christ is the strong and the true granite ridge, the glowing light that yields to no storm, the beacon and the magnet for all who desire freedom, faith and hope. For a free people of faith, Jesus is the true King of the Universe who reigns in our hearts and rules over our lives. Gratefully yours in Christ the Good Steward, Father Michael P. Hanifin Harmony* Empathy* Developer* Connectedness* Input*

Would you like to be an "RCIA SPONSOR?" What Does It Mean To Become an RCIA Sponsor? The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is a process that allows interested individuals an opportunity to examine the Christian faith in a friendly, relaxed at-mosphere. The people on this wonderful faith journey need a partner, a fellow traveler, because sometimes the road is difficult, and it's not always easy to see where it's leading. They need a companion, a guide, a friend who knows the way! St. Augustine referred to the Church as a community of "Christians begetting Christians." In the early days, the Church was dependent on the witness of every member. Welcoming new Catholics was not only the responsibility of the clergy, but belonged with the entire community of the faithful. Thus, we have the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. This, in turn, gives each person in our parish the opportunity to share the gift of his/her faith with someone who is seeking to know God through our Church. This faith sharing is called the Ministry of Spon-sorship. The RCIA Sponsors play a vital role in helping show what it means to be a Catholic and a Christian; not by be-ing an authority on religion, but by sharing through their own experiences how God touches us in our daily lives. RCIA Sponsorship is also very rewarding. I have experi-enced the closeness and openness of this sharing process. Not only will the sponsor make many new friends, but will also gain a much deeper understanding of his/her own faith. The sponsor's responsibilities include: keeping in regular contact with the candidates, encouraging them, listening to their faith and their doubts, sharing time and experi-ence in a friendly manner, participating in the catechu-menate sessions when possible, praying with and for can-didates, and introducing the candidates to the other mem-bers of the community. The RCIA meets every Tuesday evening from 7:00 to 8:30PM. McGowan Hall room C. If you are interested in becoming an RCIA sponsor, please contact Rosa Rama at rrama@olfchurch.net or 492-4101, x119.

You are cordially invited to the OLF Ladies Christmas Joy Luncheon & Boutique Friday, November 30 Mass: 8:30am Boutique in McGowan Hall: 9:30am – 3:30pm / free admission. Lunch with guest speaker Miss Sue Simmons: 10:30am – 1:30pm / $25 per person, raffle tickets will be available! RSVP by November 26 to Mary Martin at (949) 246-2683 or themartins6@cox.net

Come Home for Christmas Project Season of Advent, 2012 Our Lady of Fatima Parish is developing a process to invite our parishioners to be the Lord’s instrument in bringing home for Christmas those family members and friends who have gone away from their Catholic faith. This will be a four-week Season of Advent project where we are asked to meet and talk with one person or family that were once Catholics but no longer practice their Catholic faith. No matter how long they have been away from the Catholic Church, they can always come home. They can start going to Mass again and Christmas Mass is a great celebration at which to begin the process of becoming a valued member of a parish community that is ready to welcome them with open arms. God is inviting them to dive into their faith in a deeper way than they may have ever had before. If you are interested in joining with Father Mike on this worthwhile project please contact him at the parish office at 492-4101.

25 de noviembre del 2012 Nuestro Señor Jesucristo Rey del Universo 3

De nuestro Párroco, Padre Michael P. Hanifin

Q ueridos parroquianos y amigos de Nuestra Señora de Fátima, Este fin de semana es la fiesta de Cristo Rey. Este día especial marca la conclusión del año litúr-gico y terminan las lecturas del ciclo B. En 1925 el Papa Pio XI instituyó la fiesta de Cristo Rey proclamando "Pax Christi en Regno Christi" o la Paz de Cristo en el Reino de Cristo. Este día fue establecido y proclamado por el Papa para reafirmar la soberanía de Cristo y la Iglesia sobre to-das las formas de gobierno para recordar a los cristianos la fidelidad y lealtad que se debían a Cristo, que por su encarnación y muerte sacrificial en la Cruz habíamos sido adoptados como hijos de Dios y futuros ciudadanos y herederos del reino de los Cielos. Honramos a Cristo Rey

del Universo y el Rey de nuestros corazones permitiendo a Jesús que rija nuestras vidas. En miles de corazones en todo el mundo, Jesús todavía reina como rey. Me gusta escuchar un programa de radio y Dennis Prager es uno de mis favoritos. Una joven llamo recientemente y dijo que su generación se estaba convirtiendo en cada vez más secular. Dijo que el Partido Demócrata se refiere mejor a una población cada vez más secular. Ella le preguntó si el partido republicano nunca se adaptaría a relacionarse mejor con una población que ya no se refiere a la religión. Dennis Prager respondió diciendo que acomodar el creciente laicismo en nuestra sociedad nunca es bueno. Religión y fe han traído muchos valores importantes a nuestro país. En su último libro, Aún la Mejor Esperanza: Por qué el Mundo Necesita Valores Estadounidenses para Triunfar, Den-nis narra sobre cómo tres valores de nuestro país son bien conocidos: Unidad en la Pluralidad, Libertad y Confianza en Dios. Estos valores han formado nuestra ciudadanía para convertirse en el país que otras naciones ven y asocian con li-bertad. Estos valores nacieron de una herencia judeo-cristiana que no debe ser minimizada o marginada. Creo que muchas naciones del mundo que históricamente y actualmente viven en la nube de la tiranía. De esas naciones las personas desean vivir en una tierra donde se respeten sus derechos y su dignidad. El Presidente Ronald Regan una vez dijo, "Y cómo se encuentra la ciudad en esta noche de invierno” Después de 200 años, dos siglos, esta sigue siendo fuerte y fiel a la piedra de granito y su resplandor se ha mantenido sin importar la tormenta. Y sigue siendo un faro, sien-do un imán para todos los que desean tener libertad, para todos los peregrinos de todos los lugares perdidos que se mue-ven a través de la oscuridad, hacia su casa. 11 de enero de 1989-- Discurso de Despedida a la Nación. Jesús Cristo es la fuerza y la piedra de granito verdadero, la luz brillante que permite la tormenta, la baliza y el imán pa-ra todos los que desean libertad, fe y esperanza. Para un pueblo libre en la fe, Jesús es el verdadero Rey del Universo que reina en nuestros corazones y rige sobre nuestras vidas. Agradecidísimo en Cristo el Buen Administrador, Padre Michael P.

E n esta solemnidad de Cristo Rey se nos recuerda cómo Jesús enfrentó al poder con la verdad—el poder del gran imperio

romano en la persona de Poncio Pilato, procurador (gobernador) de la provincia romana de Judea y representante local del emperador Tiberio. La función de Pilato en esta rezagada provincia era guardar el orden, evitar las sublevaciones y garantizar que los impuestos se pagaran a Roma. La lectura del Evangelio de hoy nos muestra que Pilato estaba indeciso en cuanto a quién era Jesús. Obviamente no era un líder de la mafia, ni un zelote, ni tampoco un timador. Los líderes judíos le habían dicho a Pilato que Jesús decía ser rey de los judíos, lo cual hubiera podido interpretarse como una posible amenaza para el gobierno romano. Jesús dijo que de él haber sido rey de Judea sus servidores se habrían dado a la lucha. “Mi Reino no es de este mundo”, le dijo a Pilato. Y añadió algo aún más importante: “Vine al mundo para ser testigo de la verdad. Todo el que es de la verdad, escucha mi voz” (Juan 18:37). Pilato estaba renuente a condenar a Jesús, porque no podía encontrar falta en él; pero el miedo a una revuelta de los judíos contra el gobierno romano se impuso a su renuencia. Jesús “padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato”, como decimos en el Credo, porque sólo Pilato pudo ordenar la crucifixión. Los evangelios muestran claramente la maniobra política entre los soberanos romanos y los líderes religiosos judíos, ninguno de los cuales querían que sus poderes fueran amenazados. Jesús estaba afuera del acostumbrado marco de referencia de ellos. Él representaba un enigma y una contradicción para ellos. Él no gobernaba con violencia ni con opresión, sino que sencillamente daba testimonio de la verdad de Dios. Toda persona que va en pos de esta verdad sólo tiene que escuchar y responder para llegar a ser parte del reino de Dios.
