OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

What kind of King is Jesus? How do you envision him? Remembering that they were promised a king from the line of David, the Israelites hoped for a Messiah who would set their political problems aright and bring about a worldly kingdom of Judaic power. Even Psalm 122 seems to describe this type of ruler. Luke’s Gospel today shreds that image after the whip of the Roman soldiers tore at Jesus’ flesh. Still, the Romans flaunted the traditional notion with their ironic inscrip-tion above King Jesus’ crown of thorns. Soldiers and ordinary people jeered the royal title at him. Yet the throne of Jesus was the cross of Christ, from which he dispensed kingly mercy and justice toward the humble criminal who shared his execution. Writing to the Colossians, Saint Paul describes the truth about Jesus and his kingship, using words like fullness, peace, and forgiveness. So let us go rejoicing!

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Today’s solemnity, the final feast of the Church year, is a youngster as far as feasts go. In 1925, Pope Pius XI was distressed by global political upheaval and the de-Christianizing of society. That year was a “Holy Year,” keyed to the sixteen hundredth anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, when the words “and of his kingdom there will be no end” were added to the Creed. The Pope explained that although most feasts had developed over many centuries, the Church sometimes provided a new feast to address new needs. He pointed to the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, showing Christ’s love and compassion in a time when many people embraced a cold and a gloomy spirituality. Originally on the last Sunday of October, in the late 1960s the solemnity of Christ the King was moved to the last Sunday of the year. Fresh from baptism’s waters, we are anointed with chrism “as Christ was anointed priest, prophet, and

king.” This feast is a key to our identity. On this feast, we recognize Christ as a king who breaks the usual mold of kingship, and who shapes his king-dom with our hands, our words, our deeds of love and service.

The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness. —William Blake

NUESTRO SEÑOR JESUCRISTO, REY DEL UNIVERSO

¿Qué clase de Rey es Jesús? ¿Cómo lo imaginas? Recordando que se les prometió un rey de la línea de David, los israelitas esperaban un Mesías que pusiera fin a sus problemas políticos y llevara a cabo un reino mundano de poder judaico. Incluso el Salmo 121 parece describir este tipo de

gobernante. El Evangelio de Lucas hoy destroza esa imagen después de que el látigo de los soldados romanos se torció en la carne de Jesús. Aun así, los romanos alardeaban de la noción tradicional con su inscripción irónica sobre la corona de espinas del Rey Jesús. Los soldados y la gente común le abucheaban su título real. Sin embargo, el trono de Jesús era la cruz de Cristo, de la cual derramaba misericordia real y justicia hacia el humilde criminal que compartía su ejecución. Al escribir a los colosenses, San Pablo describe la verdad acerca de Jesús y de su reinado, utilizando palabras como plenitud, paz y perdón. ¡Así que vamos regocijados! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En la frontera entre México y El Paso, Texas en los Estados Unidos hay una grandísima imagen de Cristo Rey con sus brazos extendidos en bienvenida y sobre una cruz. En el continente Americano encon-tramos imágenes de Cristo en las montañas como el Cristo Redentor en Brasil, o el Cristo de los Andes entre Chile y Argentina, o el Cristo Rey en Colom-bia; todos observando calladamente los pesares y progresos de sus pueblos y naciones. En toda Lati-noamérica se grita esperanzadamente “Viva Cristo Rey”. La Iglesia universal honra a Cristo con el título de Rey sólo desde 1925, pero siempre tuvo la certeza que el pobre Jesús de Nazaret es nuestro Maestro y Señor, y contra él no pueden las fuerzas 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 un continuo recuerdo de la promesa divina; de la esperanza de un mundo mejor, no allá en el cielo, sino aquí en la tierra renovada. Por eso terminemos el año litúrgico gritando “Viva Cristo Rey”. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright, © J. S. Paluch Co.

“Qué alegría cuando me dijeron: Vamos a la casa del Señor”. —Salmo 122 (121):1

Men are weak and often question When many evil things they see. Christ waits for them to realize That He is wiser than are we.

He is aware of all that is, He knows our problems, needs and fears, His Providence is now at work And Jesus’ final triumph nears.

Then let us rise in greater faith To tell the world of His great name, That when the King returns, we may For lack of faith not blush with shame. Amen! —Fr. Frank Pavone

Los hombres son débiles y muchas veces dudan Cuando ven tantos males.

Cristo espera que se den cuenta Que Él es más sabio que nosotros.

Él es consciente de todo, Él conoce nuestros problemas, necesidades y temores,

Su Providencia está ahora trabajando Y el triunfo final de Jesús se acerca.

Entonces levantémonos con gran fe Para hablarle al mundo de su gran nombre,

Que cuando el Rey vuelva, por falta de fe No enrojezcamos de vergüenza. ¡Amén!

—Padre Frank Pavone
