ST. GABRIEL THE ARCHANGEL PARISH BULLETIN November 24, 2013
THE SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE KING
The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe is
the last Sunday of the
liturgical year, bringing us full circle toward Advent hope.
Christ reigns, enthroned in
heaven, King of heaven and earth for all time. After listening
to stories of his life and
ministry through Ordinary Time, our parting image is that of
majesty. Like a great rose
window of a medieval cathedral, Christ the King reminds us that
Jesus is the source and
center of our lives and his divine power extends over all of
creation. The Church
professes that the One who was crucified and rose again is the
Lord of the world and of
history. As Saint Paul tells us, “Christ is before all things,
and in him all things hold
together. May the Holy Spirit help us today to open our hearts
to Christ, and invite him
to reign there now and forever.”
The grace, peace and love of Our Risen Lord Jesus Christ be with
all of you,
Father Doug Sister Kathleen Michele Bergeron

Living the Gospel
Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received.
Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that
feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Today’s solemnity, the final feast of the
Church year, is a youngster as feasts go. In 1925,
Pope Pius XI was distressed by global political
upheaval and the de-Christianizing of society. That
year was a “Holy Year,” keyed to the sixteen
hundredth anniversary of the Council of Nicaea,
when the words “and of his kingdom there will be
no end” were added to the Creed. The Pope
explained that although most feasts had developed
over many centuries, the Church sometimes
provided a new feast to address new needs. He
pointed to the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
showing Christ’s love and compassion in a time
when many people embraced a cold and gloomy
spirituality. Originally on the last Sunday of
October, in the late 1960s the solemnity of Christ
the King was moved to the last Sunday of the year.
Fresh from baptism’s waters, we are
anointed with chrism “as Christ was anointed priest,
prophet, and king.” This feast is a key to our
identity. On this feast, we recognize Christ as a king
who breaks the usual mold of kingship, and who
shapes his kingdom with our hands, our words, our
deeds of love and service. —James Field, Copyright © J. S.

VATICAN SURVEY—

Family Issues Our Holy Father Pope Francis has called for the
3rd
Extraordinary Synod of Bishops for October 2014.
The topic to be discussed is “The pastoral challenges
for the family in the context of evangelization.” The

and the Church’s teaching on family. Toward the

Father is asking for the reflection of the people of
God regarding these issues. The survey questions
can be found in the Clarion Herald. Responses must
be received by December 1, 2013.
If you would like to participate, it would be most
helpful to receive your responses typewritten with
