Message from Father Pergjini: Since the second century the four gospels have been interpreted in four forms or as is generally called in Greek tetramorph. The face of a man is for the gospel of Saint Mathew because starts his Gospel with human genealogy of Christ. The lion represents the gospel of Saint Mark because his gospel begins in the desert. The bull represents Saint Luke whose Gospel begins with Zachariah's s sacrifice in the Temple. And the eagle represents Saint John because his prologue reaches breathtaking heights. The fathers of the church have interpreted the four living creatures the perfect allegory of the mystery of Christ. The figure of Man stands very well for the incarnation, Messiah, Christ our Savior. The lion represents the temptations of Christ in the desert, Christ the King of the universe triumphant against the Satan. The bull leads us to see the immolation of Christ in the cross. And finally, the eagle points toward Christ resurrection and his ascension into heaven. Next Sunday, November 24th, is the last Sunday of ordinary time, the last Sunday of liturgical year. Our Catholic Church ends its liturgical year with the solemnity of Christ the King of the Universe. On December 11, 1925 Pope Pius XI issued his encyclical letter Quas primas. This document meant to remind to the faithful that the most powerful weapon against the destructive forces of the age is to acknowledge the kingship of

Christ. He said; “The church documents are read only by few learned men and women while the celebrations of the feasts during the liturgical year moves and teach all the faithful, every year and forever. A document brings saving touch and joy to the human intellect, but the celebration of the liturgical feasts influence not only the mind but the heart and soul and the whole nature of men and women.” Yes indeed, the celebration of the solemnity of the Christ the King of the universe touches our lives and the life of the universe. The solemnity of Christ the King of the Universe reminds to all of us our goal and our glory is to follow Christ the King, to trust and abandon ourselves into the hands of Christ who

saves our broken souls. The famous and well-known words from the letter to the Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” The Gospel of Saint Luke on this solemnity of Christ the King pictures the crucifixion scene with the indispensable request of the good thief: Jesus remember me when you come into your kingdom. And Christ promised the paradise to the good thief who acknowledged his sinfulness. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI speaks that salvation does not come from those who crucify but from the one who is crucified, our Redeemer Jesus Christ. Yes indeed we are people who like the good thief acknowledge our sinful misery and looking with trust to the crucified Christ begging Him to remember us in His kingdom. Every single Sunday in the most powerful sacrifice on earth, the Holy Mass, we proclaim Christ the King of the Universe and willing to listen to His voice, to His Eternal Truth. For all of us who believe in the power of Christ who is the same voice yesterday, today and forever speaking His Divine and eternal truth. The beautiful preface of the Mass reminds all of us Christ our King who at the end of time will present to His Father the Eternal and universal kingdom of truth and life, a kingdom of holiness and grace, a kingdom of justice, love and peace." The four living creatures that the four evangelists provide for us powerfully proclaim Christ, the King of the universe in power and majesty in Eternal Kingdom. We beg Christ's Mercy, we place our hope and our destiny before Christ the King of the Universe. May we take refuge in the words of the final prayer after Holy Communion of the Holy Mass of Christ the King of the Universe: Having received the food of immortality we ask, O Lord, that, glorifying in obedience to the commands of Christ, the King of the universe, we may live with him eternally in his heavenly Kingdom. Who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen!


Mensaje del Padre Pergjini

Desde el siglo II, los cuatro evangelios han sido interpretados en cuatro formas o como generalmente se llama en griego tetramorfo. La cara de un hombre es para el evangelio de San Mateo porque comienza su evangelio con la genealogía humana de Cristo. El león representa el evangelio de San Marcos porque su evangelio comienza en el desierto. El toro representa a San Lucas, cuyo Evangelio comienza con el sacrificio de Zacarías en el Templo. Y el águila representa a San Juan porque su prólogo alcanza alturas impresionantes. Los padres de la iglesia han interpretado a las cuatro criaturas vivientes como la alegoría perfecta del misterio de Cristo. La figura del hombre representa muy bien la encarnación, el Mesías, Cristo nuestro Salvador. El león representa las tentaciones de Cristo en el desierto, Cristo Rey del universo triunfante contra Satanás. El toro nos lleva a ver la inmolación de Cristo en la cruz. Y finalmente, el águila señala hacia la resurrección de Cristo y su ascensión al cielo. El próximo domingo 24 de noviembre es el último domingo del tiempo ordinario, el último domingo del año litúrgico. Nuestra Iglesia Católica termina su año litúrgico con la solemnidad de Cristo Rey del Universo. El 11 de diciembre de 1925, el papa Pío XI emitió su carta encíclica Quas primas. Este documento pretendía recordar a los fieles que el arma más poderosa contra las fuerzas

destructivas de la época es reconocer el reinado de Cristo. Él dijo; “Los documentos de la iglesia son leídos por pocos hombres y mujeres eruditos, mientras que las celebraciones de las fiestas durante el año litúrgico se mueven y enseñan a todos los fieles, todos los años y para siempre. Un documento aporta un toque salvador y alegría al intelecto humano, pero la celebración de las fiestas litúrgicas influye no solo en la mente, sino también en el corazón y el alma, y en toda la naturaleza de los hombres y las mujeres.”Sí, de hecho, la celebración de la solemnidad de Cristo El Rey del universo toca nuestras vidas y la vida del universo. La solemnidad de Cristo Rey del Universo nos recuerda a todos nuestro objetivo y nuestra gloria es seguir a Cristo Rey, confiar y abandonarnos en las manos de Cristo que

salva nuestras almas rotas. Las famosas y conocidas palabras de la carta a los Hebreos 13:8, “Jesucristo es el mismo ayer, hoy y siempre”. El Evangelio de San Lucas sobre esta solemnidad de Cristo Rey representa la escena de la crucifixión con la petición indispensable. del buen ladrón: Jesús, acuérdate de mí cuando vengas a tu reino. Y Cristo prometió el paraíso al buen ladrón que reconoció su pecaminosidad. El papa emérito Benedicto XVI dice que la salvación no proviene de los que crucifican, sino del que es crucificado, nuestro Redentor Jesucristo. Sí, de hecho, somos personas que, como el buen ladrón, reconocemos nuestra miseria pecaminosa y miramos con confianza al Cristo crucificado rogándole que nos recuerde en su reino. Todos los domingos en el sacrificio más poderoso de la tierra, la Santa Misa, proclamamos a Cristo Rey del Universo y dispuestos a escuchar su voz, su verdad eterna. Para todos los que creemos en el poder de Cristo, que es la misma voz ayer, hoy y para siempre hablando de su verdad divina y eterna. El bello prefacio de la Misa nos recuerda a todos nosotros, Cristo Rey nuestro, que al final de los tiempos presentará a Su Padre el Reino eterno y universal de la verdad y la vida, un reino de santidad y gracia, un reino de justicia, amor y paz. "Las cuatro criaturas vivientes que los cuatro evangelistas nos proporcionan proclaman poderosamente a Cristo, el Rey del universo en poder y majestad en el Reino Eterno. Rogamos a la Misericordia de Cristo, colocamos nuestra esperanza y nuestro destino ante Cristo Rey del Universo. Mayo Nos refugiamos en las palabras de la oración final después de la Sagrada Comunión de la Santa Misa de Cristo Rey del Universo: Habiendo recibido el alimento de la inmortalidad, te pedimos, oh Señor, que, glorificando en obediencia a los mandamientos de Cristo, el Rey del universo, podemos vivir con él eternamente en su Reino celestial, que vive y reina por los siglos de los siglos. ¡Amén!
