From Fr. Jossy’s Desk:

SOLEMNITY OF JESUS CHRIST THE KING

Today, is the last Sunday of our Church’s liturgical year. Yes, next Sunday we start the Advent

season. And so today we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the

Universe, our King and the Shepherd of our souls.

Our Lord came as a shepherd. Shepherds represent those people who make a commitment to

live a life that is responsible for others. In this sense are we not all shepherds? Our Lord

desires to favor those who show responsibility for others. As King and lovable shepherd of our

souls, Jesus came to teach us how to live so that we might be made whole through Him. Yes,

He came to seek and to find what was lost.

Jesus as a king was sent to be our Savior. He desired that others should share in the glory of

being shepherds too. Jesus made God’s goodness abound more than evil does. He even

overcame death for us all. Jesus’ work is effective in our life as he enables us to overcome our

short comings. When we possess God’s love, in this way we are empowered to share in our

Savior’s work.

God desired to save the Hebrew people through the Patriarch Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all

the prophets. We are shown more fully God’s love and care for this world by the gift of our

Savior Jesus Christ. He is called the “first-born of all creatures” for from the beginning God planned to save us all through His beloved Son. Oh, what joy is ours when we choose Jesus as

our Shepherd and King? He can bring us peace and calm if we only decide to follow Him. Our

Savior shows us that God will not be overcome by evil, but will overcome evil with good.

Mensaje de Padre Jossy:

SOLEMNIDAD DE JESUCRISTO EL REY

Hoy es el último domingo del año litúrgico de nuestra Iglesia. Sí, el próximo domingo co-

menzamos la temporada de Adviento. Y así, hoy celebramos la solemnidad de Nuestro Señor

Jesucristo, Rey del Universo, nuestro Rey y el Pastor de nuestras almas.

Nuestro Señor vino como pastor. Los pastores representan a aquellas personas que se

comprometen a vivir una vida que sea responsable de los demás. En este sentido, ¿no somos

todos pastores? Nuestro Señor desea favorecer a quienes muestran responsabilidad por los

demás. Como Rey y adorable pastor de nuestras almas, Jesús vino a enseñarnos cómo vivir

para que podamos ser sanados por medio de Él. Sí, vino a buscar y a encontrar lo que se había

perdido.

Jesús como rey fue enviado para ser nuestro Salvador. Deseaba que otros también compartie-

ran la gloria de ser pastores. Jesús hizo que la bondad de Dios abundara más que el mal.

Incluso venció la muerte para todos nosotros. El trabajo de Jesús es efectivo en nuestra vida,

ya que nos permite superar nuestras deficiencias. Cuando poseemos el amor de Dios, de esta

manera estamos facultados para compartir la obra de nuestro Salvador.

Dios deseaba salvar al pueblo hebreo a través del Patriarca Abraham, Isaac, Jacob y todos los

profetas. El don de nuestro Salvador Jesucristo nos muestra más plenamente el amor y el

cuidado de Dios por este mundo. Se le llama el "primogénito de todas las criaturas" porque

desde el principio Dios planeó salvarnos a todos a través de Su amado Hijo. Oh, ¿qué alegría

tenemos cuando elegimos a Jesús como nuestro Pastor y Rey? Él puede traernos paz y

tranquilidad si solo decidimos seguirlo. Nuestro Salvador nos muestra que Dios no será

vencido por el mal, sino que vencerá el mal con el bien.
