MEssage from our MinistersOur Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed. - Daniel 7:14
Your throne stands firm from of old; from everlasting you are, O Lord. - Psalm 93:2 Behold, he is coming amid the clouds. . . . “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty.” - Revelation 1:7, 8 My kingdom does not belong to this world. - John 18:36 In Already and Not Yet, Daniel J. Harrington notes: “The terms ‘already’ and ‘not yet’ capture the New Testament dynamic of eschatology. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection we have already been freed from domination by sin and death and freed for life in the Holy Spirit. And so we can now stand beside Jesus and address God as ‘Our Father,’ as we look forward in hope for the fullness of 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 new liturgical year, let us remember that God is present in everything, that God is the beginning and the end, “the Alpha and the Omega.” Let us fill our days and nights with the awareness that God is all in all. 
Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo
"Su imperio es un imperio eterno, que nunca pasará, y su reino no será destruido jamás." - Daniel, 7 - Bíblia Católica Online "2.Desde el principio tu trono esta fijado, desde siempre existes tú." Salmos, 93 - Bíblia Católica Online "Mirad, viene acompañado de nubes". . . ""Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega, dice el Señor Dios, «Aquel que es, que era y que va a venir», el Todopoderoso." - Apocalipsis, 1 - Bíblia Católica Online "Mi Reino no es de este mundo." - Juan, 18 - Bíblia Católica Online En el "Ya" y el "aún no", Daniel J. Harrington señala que: “Los términos "'ya" y "aún no"' capturan la dinámica escatológica (es la parte de la teología que se refiere a la muerte, juicio y destino final del alma y de la humanidad) del Nuevo Testamento. A través de la muerte y resurrección de Jesús, ya hemos sido liberados del dominio del pecado y la muerte y liberados para vivir en el Espíritu Santo. Y por ello ahora, podemos estar al lado de Jesús y dirigirnos a Dios como "Padre nuestro", mientras vemos hacia adelante, con la esperanza de la plenitud del reino de Dios. Mientras vivimos entre los tiempos del "ya" y el "todavía no", continuemos orando "¡Venga tu reino!" Al estar ya finalizando un año litúrgico y avanzar hacia el nuevo año litúrgico, recordemos que Dios está presente en todo, que Dios es el principio y el fin, “el Alfa y la Omega”. Llenemos nuestros días y nuestras noches con la conciencia de que Dios es todo en todos. AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. Sincerely, Fr. Mark PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF MASS - COVID-19

Gospel Meditation
“He has made us into a kingdom…” Today is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. The readings today emphasize his greatness, but the second reading it says that Jesus also wants 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 know that 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 have had a positive influence on the world. Many of the greatest artists and writers and musicians of the world were Catholic, including: J.R. Tolkien, William Shakespeare and Flannery O’Connor. Many great athletes have been outspoken about their Catholic faith helped them 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 were priests or devout Catholics, including Roger Bacon (Franciscan who invented the scientific method), Blaise Pascal (mathematician and physicist), Louis Pasteur (chemist who invented “pasteurization”), Gregor Mendel (who founded the science 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 more examples 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 holy nation, a people set apart” (Sunday Preface 1). -Fr. Mark
MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO "Él ha hecho de Nosotros un Reino..." Hoy es la Solemnidad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo. Las lecturas de hoy enfatizan la grandeza de Jesus, pero la segunda lectura dice que Jesús también quiere que NOSOTROS seamos grandes. Quiere que compartamos su poder. Dice que “ha hecho de nosotros un reino de sacerdotes para su Dios y Padre…” (Apocalipsis 1: 5-8). Mediante el bautismo se nos da una participación en su poder de ser sacerdote, profeta y rey. Se supone que todos los católicos deben ayudar a Jesús a gobernar, guiar y orar por el mundo. Sabemos que los santos se volvieron más fuertes, más sanos, más sabios y más vivos. Los santos desarrollaron al máximo sus habilidades naturales con la ayuda 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 en el mundo. Muchos de los mejores artistas, escritores y músicos del mundo eran católicos, entre ellos: J.R. Tolkien, William Shakespeare y Flannery O’Connor. Muchos grandes atletas han expresado abiertamente que su fe católica les ayudó en tiempos difíciles, incluidos Vince Lombardi, 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, entre ellos 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 por primera 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 hizo linaje escogido, real sacerdocio, nación santa, pueblo apartado” (Prefacio dominical 1). -P.

Month of November
Let us pray for all the Faithful Departed.
November is called the month of All Souls. More recently, it has been called the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. Our growth in Christian perfection takes a long time. At the time of our death, many of us might not be saints yet. But God, in His mercy, allows for those who love Him to experience purification after death. Our word for that state is Purgatory. It’s the antechamber of heaven, so to speak. Here on earth, we can pray for the souls in Purgatory. Just as we have special intentions for family and friends here on earth, we can pray for those who have died. It’s also a good act of Christian charity to pray for the forgotten, those who have no one else to pray for them. ©LPi

“Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom does not belong to this world.'” - John 18:36
Life is short. How much time, energy, and money do you put into building “your” kingdom here on earth? We all know we can’t take it with us. The real kingdom is in the next life. Yet, how much time, energy, and money do you invest in working for that eternal kingdom? Ask God for His guidance. Detach from earthly possessions. Generously share your material goods with others for the greater glory of God.

La vida es corta. ¿Cuánto tiempo, energía y dinero ha puesto para construir “su” reino aquí en la tierra? Todos sabemos que eso no podemos llevárnoslo. El reino real es en la otra vida. Sin embargo, ¿qué tanto tiempo, energía y dinero invierte en trabajar para ese reino eterno? Pídale a Dios que lo guíe. Sepárese de sus posesiones terrenales. Comparta generosamente sus bienes materiales con los demás para la mayor gloria de Dios.

Sharing the Gospel
Everyone who belongs to the truth knows God's voice. When you turn your head and put your hands over your ears, you will not hear God's voice. You will say unkind words. You will do mean things. When you listen to God's voice, you will choose to follow the commandments. You will do for others what you would want them to do for you. Then, God will welcome you to his kingdom in heaven.
Prayer
Lord, help me recognize your voice and do your will.
Something to Draw
Draw yourself listening as God talks to you from a television set.
Mission for the Week
God takes sins away. I will take the trash away for my family.

Spiritual Communion
Even if one cannot sacramentally receive the Eucharist, everyone should be aware of the practice of making a spiritual communion. The following is a daily prayer for Spiritual Communion:
O my Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and
unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.
-St. Alphonsus Liguori

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary
|
1207-1231
Feast Day: November 17 Feast Day – November 17 Elizabeth’s short life was nonetheless full; she had a happy marriage and children, was a secular Franciscan, and was so devoted to the poor and sick that she gave away royal robes and founded hospitals. The daughter of a Hungarian king, Elizabeth married a nobleman of Thuringia, Louis, at age 14. He complained about the expense of her many charities until he witnessed a miracle involving Elizabeth, bread, and roses. After he died during a Crusade, she became a Third Order Franciscan at Marburg, Germany, where she founded a hospital to care for the sick. Elizabeth, who was declared a saint in 1235, is the patron of bakers, young brides, widows, those falsely accused, countesses, and secular Franciscans.

Santa Isabel de Hungría
1207-1231 Día de fiesta— 17 de noviembre Gran figura del monaquismo cristiano, Teodoro nació en Constantinopla (Estambul, Turquía), pero comenzó su vida monástica en Bitinia. Regresó a Constantinopla para estudiar para el sacerdocio y en 787 fue ordenado. En 794, sucedió a su tío, San Plutón, como abad de Sakkoudion, donde sus ideales y reglas tuvieron una influencia de gran alcance. Más tarde trasladó a sus monjes a un monasterio de Constantinopla fundado por el cónsul romano Studius. Teodoro fue exiliado varias veces: por oponerse al divorcio y al adulterio de un emperador, y también por defender la veneración de las imágenes sagradas. Apoyó la autoridad de la sede de Roma, predicó brillantemente y dejó un tesoro de escritos. Copyright © 2020, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC.

“Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form.... ”
(Lúcia dos Santos, Visionary of Fátima)
The terrifying and horrific vision of hell, which the Shepherd Children witnessed, “lasted but an instant.” Lúcia tells us: “We looked up at Our Lady, who said to us, so kindly and so sadly: ‘You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need.’”
Our Lady instructed the Little Shepherds: “Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially whenever you make some sacrifice: ‘O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.’”
