Message from Fr. Davy’s desk: This weekend we celebrate the solemnity of Christ the King. It is time for us to meditate upon the Kingship of Jesus and his kingdom. The first reading from the book of Ezekiel talks about God as the shepherd of Israel. The kings of Israel were regarded as God's visible representatives and were given the divine title of shep- herd. But many of them did not live up to this responsibility. Their leadership style differed from God's style. God's style was that of giving priority of attention to the needs of the disadvantaged. Jesus is present to us now, not only as our good shepherd leading, feeding and healing his sheep, but also as dwelling in those for whom we care. The parable of the Last Judgment in the Gospel is the most astounding of all of the parables that Jesus told. In the Last Judgment, Jesus reminds us to get ready to answer "yes" to his six questions based on our acts of charity. "I was hungry, thirsty, naked, homeless, sick, imprisoned; did you help Me?" We are reminded that when we care for the hungry, thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, the imprisoned, we are actually taking care of Jesus who lives behind the faces of these people. We will be judged based on our behavior to other people in our ordinary, everyday, human affairs with them in the world. God is there in the people whom we serve. People provide soup kitchens for the starving, clothe the naked on the streets, rehabilitate those addicted to drug and alcohol, pack a food basket for the hungry, etc. Our parishioners also do the same. Saint Vincent De Paul Society, neighbors helping neighbors, AA groups, soup kitchen, etc. are a few outreach ministries our parishioners are actively involved. Let the kingship of Jesus who stood with the disadvantaged help us to establish his kingdom in our neighbor- hood by living the Christian values though our words and deeds, love and service. Let Jesus be our King now and forever! Fr. Kavungal Davy, CMI Mensaje del Padre Davy: Este domingo celebramos la solemnidad de Cristo Rey. Es el tiempo a meditar sobre del reino de Jesús. La primera lectura del libro de Ezequiel explica acerca de Dios como el pastor de Israel. Los reyes de Israel fue- ron considerados como representantes visibles de Dios y recibieron el título divino de pastor. Jesús no solo es nuestro buen pastor al guiar, alimentar y sanar a sus ovejas, sino que también habita en aquellos por quienes nos preocupamos. La parábola del Juicio final en el Evangelio es la más asombrosa de todas las parábolas que Jesús contó. En el Juicio Final, Jesús nos recuerda que nos preparemos para responder "sí" a sus seis preguntas basadas en nuestros actos de caridad. "Estaba hambriento, sediento, desnudo, sin hogar, enfermo, encarcelado, ¿me ayudaste?" Se nos recuerda que cuando cuidamos a los hambrientos, a los sedientos, a los extraños, a los desnudos, a los enfermos, a los encarcelados, en realidad estamos cuidando de Jesús que vive detrás de los rostros de estas personas. Seremos juzgados según nuestro comportamiento hacia otras personas en nuestros asuntos humanos ordi- narios, cotidianos con ellos en el mundo. Dios está allí en las personas a quienes servimos. La gente propor- ciona comedores populares para los hambrientos, viste a los desnudos en las calles, rehabilita a los adictos a las drogas y el alcohol, empaca una canasta de alimentos para los hambrientos, etc. Nuestros feligreses también hacen lo mismo. Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl, grupos de AA, cocina de sopa, etc. son algunos ministerios de alcance comunitario en los que nuestros feligreses participan activamente. Dejemos que el reino de Jesús, quien estuvo con los desfavorecidos, nos ayude a establecer su reino en nuestro vecindario viviendo los valores cristianos a través de nuestras palabras y obras, amor y servicio. ¡Deja que Jesús sea nuestro Rey ahora y para siempre!
