MARK’SREFLECTION“He has made us intoa kingdom ”Today is the Solemnity of Our Lord JesusChrist, King of theUniverse. The readings today emphasizehis greatness, but thesecond reading itsays that Jesus alsowants us to be great. He wants us to share in his power. It says that he has“made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father ” (Rev. 1:5-8) By baptism we are given a share in his power to be priest, prophet and king. All Catholics are supposed to help Jesus to rule, guide and pray for the world. We knowthat the saints became stronger and healthier and wiser and more fully alive.The saints developed their natural abilities to the utmost with the help of God.St. Irenaeus wrote “the Glory of God is man, fully alive.”We can be proud of the fact that many Catholics have become great and havehad a positive influence on the world. Many of the greatest artists and writersand musicians of the world were Catholic, including: J.R. Tolkien, WilliamShakespeare and Flannery O’Connor.Many great athletes have been outspoken about their Catholic faith helpedthem through difficult times, including Vince Lombardi, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Tommy Lasorda, Brett Favre, Don Shula, and Phillip Rivers.It is important for us to remember that many of the greatest scientists werepriests or devout Catholics, including Roger Bacon (Franciscan who inventedthe scientific method), Blaise Pascal (mathematician and physicist), Louis Pasteur (chemist who invented “pasteurization”), Gregor Mendel (who founded thescience of Genetics), Eugenio Barsanti (priest who invented the internal combustion engine), Ramon Llull (invented the first computer), Theodoric Freiberg(priest who gave the first correct explanation of rainbows), Georges Lemaitre(priest physicist who first proposed the theory of the Big Bang). (There are moreexamples at http://thomism.org/history/catholic scientists).We rejoice today that Jesus is the King, and we also thank him because he has“called us to the glory that made us a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holynation, a people set apart” (Sunday Preface 1).-Fr. Mark

Through Jesus’ death and resurrection we have already been freed from domination bysin and death and freed for life in the Holy Spirit. And sowe can now stand beside Jesus and address God as‘Our Father,’ as we look forward in hope for the fullnessof God’s kingdom. As we live between the times of the‘already’ and the ‘not yet,’ we continue to pray ‘Thy kingdom come!’”As we end one liturgical year and move toward the newliturgical year, let us remember that God is present ineverything, that God is the beginning and the end, “theAlpha and the Omega.” Let us fill our days and nightswith the awareness that God is all in all.Parish Staff School AdministrationADMINISTRATORMatthew Meadows mmeadows@presentationchurch.netOFFICE MANAGERNorma Rodriguez 2officemgr@presentationchurch.netMEDIA COORDINATOREren Bongcaron media@presentationchurch.netFACILITIES DIRECTOREn el "Ya" y el "aún no", Daniel J.

COMMUNITY NEWS AND EVENTSOUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE NOVEMBER 21, 20219REFLEXIONAR Y RESPONDERPiense en las lecturas del domingo, luego reflexione y responda de acuerdo con su fe.Primera lectura:El profeta Daniel tiene una visión del "dominio eterno" del "hijo del hombre.” ¿Por qué crees que el Señor le reveló esta visión a Daniel?Segunda lectura:Juan enseña a su comunidad que Jesús “ha hecho de nosotros (loscreyentes) un reino de sacerdotes para su Dios y Padre.” ¿Cómo deberíaafectar el conocimiento de esta realidad a tu viaje espiritual?Evangelio:En su juicio, Jesús le dice a Pilato que su reino no es de este mundo. ¿Quécrees que impide que el Reino de Dios esté más presente en nuestro mundo? LPiMENSAJE DE FR. MARK"Él ha hecho de Nosotros un Reino."Hoy es la Solemnidad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey delUniverso. Las lecturas de hoy enfatizan la grandeza de Jesus,pero la segunda lectura dice que Jesús también quiere queNOSOTROS seamos grandes. Quiere que compartamos supoder. Dice que “ha hecho de nosotros un reino de sacerdotespara su Dios y Padre ” (Apocalipsis 1: 5-8). Mediante el bautismose nos da una participación en su poder de ser sacerdote, profetay rey. Se supone que todos los católicos deben ayudar a Jesús agobernar, guiar y orar por el mundo. Sabemos que los santos sevolvieron más fuertes, más sanos, más sabios y más vivos. Lossantos desarrollaron al máximo sus habilidades naturales con laayuda de Dios. San Ireneo escribió "la gloria de Dios es el hombre, plenamente vivo".Podemos estar orgullosos del hecho de que muchos católicos se han vuelto grandes y han tenido una influencia positiva enel mundo. Muchos de los mejores artistas, escritores y músicos del mundo eran católicos, entre ellos: J.R. Tolkien, WilliamShakespeare y Flannery O’Connor.Muchos grandes atletas han expresado abiertamente que su fe católica les ayudó en tiempos difíciles, incluidos VinceLombardi, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Tommy Lasorda, Brett Favre, Don Shula y Phillip Rivers.Es importante para nosotros recordar que muchos de los más grandes científicos eran sacerdotes o católicos devotos, entreellos Roger Bacon (franciscano que inventó el método científico), Blaise Pascal (matemático y físico), Louis Pasteur(químico que inventó la "pasteurización"), Gregor Mendel (quien fundó la ciencia de la Genética), Eugenio Barsanti(sacerdote que inventó el motor de combustión interna), Ramon Llull (inventó la primera computadora), Theodoric Freiberg(sacerdote que dio la primera explicación correcta de los arco iris), Georges Lemaitre (sacerdote físico que propuso porprimera vez la teoría del Big Bang). (Hay más ejemplos en http://thomism.org/history/catholic scientists).Nos regocijamos hoy de que Jesús sea el Rey, y también le agradecemos porque nos ha “llamado a la gloria que nos hizolinaje escogido, real sacerdocio, nación santa, pueblo apartado” (Prefacio dominical 1).-P. Marcos
