Dear Parishioners:
Jesus tells us today ---“While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, “All that you see here-- the days
will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown
down” [Lk. 21:6]. This definitely is not a happy modern ending.
Many of us would like the Gospel to fit neatly into our modern lives. This is not a modern thought, however, Jesus himself had the same problem with his audiences. God’s
word does NOT fit neatly into the world of any age. Spiritually the world is an enemy to us. It pulls our eyes away
from looking up to God, to a higher wisdom and shrinks our heart and soul — the smaller ones heat the smaller one’s world.
I was more than a little surprised after the election when so many seemed to be hysterical about America’s
choice for President. I am positive you heard such incidents such as -- of Cornell students gathered for a "cry-in"
to mourn the election results -- Tufts University, arts and crafts were made available for students to decompress and relieve their post-election stress -- The University of Michigan, provided Play-Doh for the coddled college kids
to pound and mush around – primal scream groups –hot chocolate – therapy dogs – ad nauseam. I think everyone who voted for other candidates was (is) disappointed. If my candidate loses, I am upset but enough is
enough.
This is what happens when we try to make life a therapy session. Life is a reality session lived over and over
again. Life is not easy because we live in a fallen world, we are our own worst enemies at times, subject to storms and others’ weaknesses, etc. It does not seem fair to suffer because others have messed up. I don’t think it’s fair
either; I should only suffer for what I have done. We forget, however, our sins and failures have effects on others.
If I steal, act recklessly, greedily, impurely, violently, etc. I affect others and they may suffer. It was not fair
that Jesus had to die on the cross, but he did. This very unfairness paid the debt our sins incurred. As we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King, we do well to remember that the True King is a servant to his people. The
Truest King will give his life for his subjects. How much more can a King be than to die for the most unworthy of
his subjects.
The idea of Christ the King has a very long history in our Church. Pope Pius XI officially established this feast in his Encyclical, Quas primas, in December 1925. In reading, the signs of the time (cf. Mt. 16:3) Pius responded
to growing nationalism and secularism. Russia and Germany were rising powers threatening all of Europe and the
rest of the world. Hitler’s Mein Kampf and Marx’s Das Kapital were finding their way into the political realm. Pius XI could see what was coming. (Popes often have a more comprehensive worldview partly because they are not
nationalistic which earthly kings, presidents, prime ministers, etc. must be).
As we celebrate this feast, it behooves us to reflect on areas in my life where Christ is not my King. The
Gospel today gives us an example of one who focuses on the material world and one who looks up to heaven. The Repentant Thief (we shouldn’t call him the Good Thief) saw his King doing what a great Kind does — die for
his subjects.
Jesus has died for you and for me. This is a good week to reflect on where Christ is not the King in my life. It
may be in financial areas (lack of generosity, struggling with greed, etc.) or my prayer life, my interpersonal relationship with my spouse or family (pride, lack of humility, etc.) scrupulosity, doubt, addiction to sex or
pornography, etc. While some of these may need professional counseling or other treatment, they all need to ensure Christ is their King.
When Christ is our King, our lives become more and more aligned with God’s plan for us to have a future full of hope [cf. Jer. 29:11). Our King rules with forgiveness, mercy and kindness. What better King exists?
Hail Christ our King! ¡Viva Cristo Rey!
Pax et bonum,
Msgr. Bill

This is made possible by our advertisers. Please consider using their products or services when possible. Let them know you saw their add in the parish directory.
Next weekend, November 27, is the 1st Sunday of Advent! This will be the beginning of our new Liturgical Year. It is also the first Sunday we will have the Giving Tree displayed in the Gathering Space of the Church.
It is a tradition at St. Vincent de Paul Parish to reach out to the needy. We do this in a special way at Christmas. This year we will have the 2nd Annual Gift Giving Sunday the weekend of December 11. We will ask that everyone bring their gift with them to Mass. You will be invited to bring your gift to the altar during the presentation of the gifts. This is a beautiful way for our community to unite and share your faith and gifts with the needy.
There are three ways to help.
1. The Giving Tree will have tags available with a requested gift written on the tag. These request are from families affiliated with Guadalupe Center. Purchase the gift, wrap the gift, attach the tag to your package and bring it with you to Mass the weekend of December 11.
2. You will see envelopes on the Giving Tree with requests for Wal-Mart Gift Cards. These requests will be in the amount of $25.00 and $50.00. Take one envelope, pur-chase the gift card in the amount on the front of the envelope. Put your card in the envelope seal the enve-lope and bring it to Mass the weekend of December 11. The gift cards will be use by our Society of St. Vincent de Paul. They will distribute them to their clients to help those families have a Blessed Christmas.
3. We are also helping the Guayaquil Mission this year. Sr. Virginia has requested dress clothes for the children. The children are ages newborn through high school. They live in a very warm climate so light weight clothes will be most useful. Please purchase the clothes and bring them, unwrapped, with you to Mass on the weekend of December 11.
No matter which way you choose to help, you will be invited to bring your gifts to the altar during the preparation of the gifts. The gifts and the offertory collection will be gathered at this time.
This is a wonderful way to share your Christmas with those in need.
Msgr. Bill sent an Advent letter to all registered parishioners. If you didn’t receive one, maybe you are not in the parish data as a registered member. If you have a question regarding whether or not
you are registered, please call the parish office at 713-667-9111 during office hours. Ask for Mary Gosline.
There are extra copies of the Advent letter at the entrances to the church.

The Catholic's
Divorce Survival Guide DVD set viewing continues every Tuesday through 12/12/16, 6:45-8:45pm, MJFC 208. This is a 12 DVD set viewing with discussion afterward.
The Bible both begins and ends with a wedding story, and these stories have much to do with vocations. Genesis starts off the creation story of the first hus-band and wife; Revelation concludes the story of our sal-vation history with the wedding feast of the Lamb when the faithful are at last re-united with God. Our bodies are designed for communion with others. That we can appreciate the divine significance of this is greatly due to Saint John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, which drew from the Biblical teaching that we are made in the image and likeness of God the insight that our bod-ies are a true gift, and the medium for self-giving love. Created as we are with the capacity for both giving and receiving love, our relationship with our Creator is meant to be spousal. At the same time, it is meant to be virginal, that is, to be totally God’s, body and soul. Our religious give themselves body and soul to Christ, as virgins and spouse, for this lifetime and for eternity. In sacramental marriage husband and wife strive to help each other grow in holiness. Adopting the examples of Christ and his Bride, and the Father and the Son, these couples hold nothing of themselves back in their love for each other. Help us, Lord, to give ourselves completely in love to each other and to You. Then, as in the last chapter of the Bible, shall Eden be restored. Brought to you by the SVDP Vocations Committee. Pray for Vocations!

INFINITE LOVE, CALLING YOU?

Undécimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario, 20 de junio de 2016
"Es mejor ir más allá de los límites de la Caridad que fallar en ella." - San Vicente de Paúl
Llegamos al humilde departamento de la familia respondiendo a una solicitud por una mesa de comedor y sillas para reemplazar la mesa rota recuperada de un contenedor de
basura. Encontramos pocos muebles, la mayoría obtenidos de un contenedor de basura. El sofá del salón se usaba como una cama y la lámpara no funcionaba. Al darse cuenta de que propor-cionaríamos una mesa, sillas y muebles para reemplazar lo que tenían, la madre comenzó a llorar. Preguntamos ¿qué más podíamos hacer por ellos? Contestó que ella y su marido y una hija muy joven dormían en colchones en el suelo del dormitorio. Observamos que los colchones estaban en muy malas condiciones para dormir sobre ellos. La madre trabaja como lavando platos en un hospital de Houston y su marido lucha para mantener su empleo. No pudieron celebrar el cumpleaños de su hija de ocho años la semana pasada. La madre nos dijo que su hija le dijo que no se preocupara. Su hijo se había retirado de su semestre de clases porque no podía cubrir el costo de matrícula de $300. El ahora trabaja en un trabajo de tiempo parcial para re-unir los fondos para matricular el próximo semestre. La madre está tomando clases de inglés y estudi-ando para obtener su ciudadanía estadounidense el próximo año. El Señor trabaja de manera misteriosa. Nuestra conferencia había recibido una donación de $1,000 diez minutos antes de salir para nuestra visita facilitando así nuestro presupuesto. Pudimos ordenar camas económicas utilizan los muebles del almacén Vicentino. A lo largo de la visita a la familia, la madre suavemente sonreía y nunca pidió nada aparte de la mesa de comedor. Todas las ofertas adicionales para ayuda salieron de nuestras solicitudes y observaciones sobre lo que podríamos hacer por su familia. La oración final se ofreció en inglés y español de forma simultánea. Dimos gracias a Dios por el honor de estar con ella esa tarde y pedimos por la fuerza necesaria para que ella pudiera seguir cuidando de su familia. Ella rezó esta oración: "Gracias, Jesús, por los dones que vinieron a mí hoy. Gracias por traer amigos para ayudarme. Por favor, bendícelos por haber mostrado misericordia hacia mí y bendice a todos los que van a seguir sirviendo. Permíteme algún día ayudar a otros como me han ayudado a mi. Gracias, Jesús. Gracias, Jesús. Gracias, Jesús. Amén ". La visita Vicentina a la casa de los solicitantes de nuestra ayuda es el centro de nuestro ministerio. La visita es más que la validación de la necesidad. Es el poder compartir tiempo y establecer una relación con las personas necesitadas. Oramos y sentir la presencia de Dios. Nuestra Conferencia Vicentina de St. Vicente de Paúl extiende una humilde y sincera gratitud a Monse-ñor Bill y a los fieles de nuestra iglesia, por su caridad abrumador en ayudar y cuidar a Jesús en los que sufren y en los pobres. Sus oraciones y sus donaciones a nombre de nuestra Conferencia de SVDP son muy necesarias y humildemente y gratamente recibidos. Para obtener información acerca de como pueden unirse a nosotros en nuestra tarea de santidad y caridad, por favor llamar y dejar un mensaje en el teléfono 713-664-5350.Levítico 25:35 - “Si tu hermano pasa necesidad y ves que no puede salir del apuro, ayúdalo, aunque sea forastero o huésped, para que pueda vivir junto a ti.”

REINADO El libro de Samuel nos relata la unción de David como rey de Israel. Fueron los ancianos de Israel quienes declararon a David como rey ese día, pero fue Dios quien llamó a David para que pastoreara a Israel. Mandado así por los ciudadanos de su reino y por el Se-ñor, David ocupó su lugar en un largo linaje de reyes. El apóstol Pablo también nos habla de realeza, pero en un plano muy superior: la realeza de Jesús nuestro Señor. Tan grande como fue David, él y todos los reyes terrena-les anteriores y posteriores, en sus reinos, son reyes me-nores en comparación con el verdadero Rey. Finalmente, escuchamos el relato del verdadero Rey en, tal vez, su momento más débil: cerca de la muerte, colgando en una cruz, insultado por un criminal común y por el mundo en su totalidad.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En la frontera en-tre México y El Paso en Texas en los Estados Unidos hay una grandísima imagen de Cristo Rey con sus brazos ex-tendidos en bienvenida y sobre una cruz. En el continente Americano encontramos imágenes de Cristo en las monta-ñas como Cristo Redentor en Brasil, o Cristo de los An-des, entre Chile y Argentina, o el Cristo Rey en Colom-bia; todos observando calladamente pesares y progresos
de sus pueblos y naciones. En toda Latinoamérica se grita esperanzadamente “Viva Cristo Rey”. La Iglesia universal honra a Cristo con el título de Rey solo desde 1925, pero siempre tuvo la certeza que el pobre Jesús de Nazaret es nuestro Maestro y Señor y, contra él no pueden las fuer-zas del mal ni la injusticia. Terminando el Año Litúrgico, es justo y necesario recordar y festejar que Jesús reina para siempre. En Latinoamérica y en todas partes donde la injusticia parece dominar, Cristo Rey es continuo re-cuerdo de la promesa divina; de la esperanza de un mun-do mejor no allá en el cielo sino aquí en la tierra renova-da. Por eso terminemos el año litúrgico gritando “Viva Cristo Rey”. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright, © J.
