We hope that each and everyone of you take this won-derful opportunity to join us for these meals and use that time to also mingle and get to know those around you in our beautiful parish family. While you are there, please take a moment to say Thank You to our valued volunteers who give us their Time and Talent so that we may enjoy these feasts.

On this last Sunday of Ordinary Time for the liturgi-cal year, we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King. This feast was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925, at a time when the world was experiencing a rise of secu-larism, materialism and individualism, and an in-creasing denial of Christ’s existence and authority.

The hope was that the establishment of this feast would accomplish three goals — that nations would see that the Church has the right to freedom, that leaders and nations would see that they are required to give respect to Christ, the King of kings, and that the faithful would be strengthened and encouraged by the reminder that Christ must reign in our hearts, minds, wills and bodies.

This feast is needed more than ever for all people and for us especially, as Christian stewards. It re-minds us of three vital truths. First, even when it seems the world is spinning out of control, we need not fear because we have a King of kings who is very much in charge and who is loving, merciful and just. Second, if Christ is king of all, then He is also king of me, personally. I am not “lord” of my time, talents, and treasure. He is. I am a servant of the King and a steward of His gifts to me. Third, as His disciple, I am called to imitate my King. Christ’s kingship is characterized by humble service, by emptying Him-self for the good of others, The Scriptures tell us He went about doing good and He says of Himself, “I came not to be served but to serve.” How can I live in any other way than as a humble servant like my King?

En este último domingo del tiempo ordinario para el año litúrgico, celebramos la fiesta de Cristo Rey. Esta fiesta fue instituida por el Papa Pío XI en 1925, en un momento en que el mundo experimentaba un aumento del secularismo, mate-rialismo y individualismo, y una negación cada vez mayor de la existencia y autoridad de Cristo. La esperanza era que el establecimiento de esta fiesta lo-graría tres objetivos: que las naciones verían que la Iglesia tiene el derecho a la libertad, que los líderes y las naciones verían que deben respetar a Cristo, el Rey de reyes, y que los fieles serían fortalecidos y animados por el recordatorio de que Cristo debe reinar en nuestros corazones, mentes, voluntades y cuerpos. Esta fiesta es más necesaria que nunca para todas las perso-nas y especialmente para nosotros, como administradores cristianos. Nos recuerda tres verdades vitales. Primero, in-cluso cuando parece que el mundo está fuera de control, no debemos temer porque tenemos un Rey de reyes que está muy a cargo y que es amoroso, misericordioso y justo. Segun-do, si Cristo es rey de todo, entonces también es rey de mí, personalmente. No soy el "señor" de mi tiempo, talentos y tesoros, Él es el Rey. Soy siervo del rey y administrador de sus dones para mí. Tercero, como discípulo suyo, estoy lla-mado a imitar a mi rey. Lo real de Cristo se caracteriza en un servicio humilde, vaciarnos de lo propio por el bien de los demás. Las Escrituras nos dicen que él hizo el bien y dice de Él mismo: "No he venido a ser servido sino a servir". ¿Cómo puedo vivir de otra manera,que no sea como un humilde ser-vidor como mi Rey.
