COME, YOU WHO ARE BLESSED As people under the kingship of Christ, we must also be shepherds who tend to the flock. It is upon this that we will be judged. Yet how many times do we pass a person on the street without taking notice of his or her distress? Perhaps they are homeless, hungry, in need of psychological help or emotional support, and we walk by, maybe with a nod or a brief greeting, perhaps with eyes averted, not knowing what to say or to do. We might offer a silent prayer as we move along to our destination. We may wonder why someone has not offered aid or taken the person to the nearest shelter. In our hearts we know that we could be that someone. Each of us has some particular something we must do in word, deed, or prayer, in person, or through the local and world-wide organizations that serve the poor. This is who we are to be as followers of Christ, who is king of the universe. — Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

GRATITUDE Let gratitude for the past inspire us with trust for

the future. —François Fénelon

NUESTRO SEÑOR JESUCRISTO, REY DEL UNIVERSO: 26 DE NOVIEMBRE

JESÚS, PASTOR Y REY Jesús es nuestro buen pastor. El pastor reúne

y protege a las ovejas, las alimenta y atiende a sus necesidades. “Iré por ella a todos los lugares por donde se dispersaron un día de niebla y oscuridad”, el Señor le dice a Ezequiel (Ezequiel 34:12). El pastor también guía a las ovejas que no siguen el rebaño como deberían. “Buscaré a la oveja perdida y haré volver a la descarriada” (Ezequiel 34:16). Como oveja en los pastizales de Dios, debemos escuchar y responder la voz del pastor, aumentando nuestra obediencia y seguirlo. Jesucristo es también el rey del universo. Como rey, Cristo juzgará nuestras acciones o nuestra falta de acción. Al vivir como personas que pertenecemos a Cristo, debemos permitir a Cristo ser el rey de nuestros corazones, mentes y acciones. VENGAN, BENDITOS DE MI PADRE

Como personas bajo el reinado de Cristo, debemos ser pastores que se preocupan por el rebaño. Es sobre esto por lo que seremos juzgados. Sin embargo, ¿cuántas veces pasamos junto a una persona por la calle sin darnos cuenta de su angustia? Quizá son personas sin techo, desampara-das, que piden para comer, tienen necesidad de ayuda psicológica o apoyo emocional, y las pasamos sin dar un reconocimiento con la cabeza o un saludo, quizá evitándolos con la mirada, sin saber que decir o hacer. Podríamos ofrecer una oración en silencio mientras llegamos a nuestro destino. Puede que nos preguntemos por qué nadie le ha ofrecido ayuda o lo han llevado a un albergue o centro de asistencia cercano. En nuestros corazones sabemos que nosotros podríamos ser esa persona que les ofrezca ayuda. Cada uno de nosotros tiene algo en particular que debe hacer, ya sea con unas palabras, acción, oración, en persona o por medio de organizaciones de asistencia locales o internacionales. Esto es lo que nos hace ser seguidores de Cristo, quien es el rey del universo.

GIFT SHOP NEWS Please stop by the Gift Shop… our Advent books, calendars, candles and wreaths are in stock and our Christmas items have also arrived. Please remember that we try to order a variety of items for our gift shop. Unfortunately at times, we can not supply one single item due to the large quantity required by the supplier. Also, we ask that customers not leave money for an order not yet placed or take an item with the intention of paying for it later. This makes it very difficult for us to keep track of our inventory. We can always set up a lay away plan for you if needed. Thank you!

FAITHWORKS NEWS “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Jesus is calling our youth to Faithworks! Are you in high school and looking for a fun thing to do on Monday nights?

NOTICIAS DE LA TIENDA DE REGALOS Pase por la tienda de regalos ... nuestros libros de Adviento, calendarios, velas y coronas están disponibles y nuestros artículos de Navidad también han llegado. Recuerde que intentamos de mantener una variedad de artículos para la tienda. Lamentablemente, a veces, no podemos suministrar un solo artículo debido a la gran cantidad requerida por el proveedor. Además, les pedimos a ustedes que no dejen dinero por un pedido que aún no se haya realizado ni que tomen un artículo con la intención de pagarlo más adelante. Es muy difícil para nosotros hacer un seguimiento de nuestro inventario. Siempre podemos establecer un plan de retiro (lay-away) para usted si es necesario. ¡Gracias!

CLOTHES CLOSET NEWS As Christians, we are called to help others, many people often ask, “How can we help?” There are a few options. One of which include the Clothes Closet. They are in need of paper and plastic bags. They need men’s clothing, warm clothing, and blankets. Lastly, they continue to look for volunteers. The hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Your donated time is valuable and very much appreciated by those in need of the Clothes Closet. Let the Holy Spirit guide you!

ANOINTING OF THE SICK If one of your loved ones is ill and confined to home, the hospital or a care facility, you can arrange for a priest to administer the Anointing of the Sick. Do not postpone until danger of death. Please call the parish office at 530-622-0373, to make arrangement of a priest to visit.

UNCIÓN DE LOS ENFERMOS Si uno de sus seres queridos está enfermo y confinado en su hogar, el hospital o un centro de atención, puede hacer los arreglos para que un sacerdote administre la Unción de los Enfermos. No pospongas hasta el peligro de muerte. Por favor llame a la oficina parroquial al 530-622-0373, para hacer arreglos para que un sacerdote visite a su ser querido.

THE ADVENT SEASON IS NEAR Beginning the Church's liturgical year, Advent (from, "ad-venire" in Latin or "to come to") is the season encompassing the four Sundays (and weekdays) leading up to the celebration of Christmas.

The Advent season, beginning December 3rd, is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to Christ’s second coming at the end of time and also to the anniversary of the Lord’s birth on Christmas. The final days of Advent, from December 17 to December 24, focus particularly on our preparation for the celebrations of the Nativity of our Lord (Christmas).

Advent devotions including the Advent wreath, remind us of the meaning of the season. Use an Advent calendar to help you fully enter in to the season with daily activity and prayer suggestions to prepare you spiritually for the birth of Jesus Christ. —http://www.usccb.org
