PARISH INFORMATION Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe Jubilee of Mercy Ends Today Luke, evangelist and by tradition artist, sends us forth from this Jubilee of Mercy with an unforgettable portrait of Christ the King. The setting for Jesus’ “royal portrait” is the cross. From this “throne,” the crucified “crown prince” welcomes by “executive pardon” the kingdom of mercy’s first citizen, a fellow criminal. The “Good Thief” requests neither deliverance nor salvation, or even forgiveness: “Remember me when . . .” (Luke 23:42). “Today you will be with me,” King Jesus promises, “in paradise.” (23:43). Paradise, even for non-believers, is an image of creation contentedly in harmony with self, fellow creatures, and Creator. Today, we “good thieves” beg Jesus to remember us. We promise to remember that, although Jesus’ kingdom will be fulfilled only when Jesus’ returns, that kingdom begins today in the paradise that will flower from this Jubilee of Mercy. We disciples, having been embraced unconditionally and undeservedly by Jesus’ mercy, must now go forth to embrace all others, unconditionally, with that same unfailing mercy. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading - David is anointed king of Israel (2

Samuel 5:1-3). Psalm - Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord

(Psalm 122). Second Reading - The Father delivered us to the

kingdom of his beloved Son (Colossians 1:12-20). Gospel - The repentant criminal receives Jesus’

promise of Paradise (Luke 23:35-43). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from the Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved.

Solemnidad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo Conclusión del Jubileo de la Misericordia Hoy Lucas, evangelista y conocido por la tradición como artista, nos envía a seguir más allá de este Jubileo de la Misericordia con una imagen inolvidable de Cristo Rey. Esta imagen de la realeza de Jesús sucede en la cruz. Desde este “trono”, el crucificado “príncipe heredero” otorga un “perdón real” al primer ciudadano del reino de la misericordia, un criminal. El “buen ladrón” no pide ni la liberación o la salvación, ni siquiera el perdón; lo que pide es “acuérdate de mí cuando . . .” (Lucas 23:42). “Hoy estarás conmigo”, el Rey Jesús promete, “en el paraíso” (23:43). El paraíso, aún para quienes no son creyentes, es una imagen de la creación contenida en armonía con uno mismo, nuestros semejantes y el Creador. Hoy nosotros “buenos ladrones” le suplicamos a Jesús que nos recuerde. Prometemos recordarlo, aunque el reino de Jesús se establecerá solo cuando regrese Jesús, que ese reino comience hoy en el paraíso que florecerá de este Jubileo de la Misericordia. Nosotros discípulos, habiendo sido abrazados incondicionalmente e inmerecidamente por la misericordia de Jesús, debemos avanzar e ir a abrazar a los demás, incondicionalmente con la misma misericordia eterna. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

Their peers can be cruel, so it’s important to talk about how to handle bullies, especially before a situa on escalates. One way to stop the cycle of bullying in its tracks, is to teach kids to speak kindly to others and to treat everyone around them with respect. For more informa on, please visit h ps://www.faithandsafety.org/bullying.

La prevención del acoso “bullying” comienza en casa Desde el acoso ciberné co, poner apodos y la exclusión, el acoso o “bullying” puede afectar a las personas de todas las edades, especialmente a niños y adolescentes que asisten a la escuela. Sus compañeros pueden ser crueles, de manera que es importante pla car con ellos sobre cómo manejar a los acosadores, especialmente antes que la situación escale. Una manera de detener el ciclo de acoso es enseñar a los niños a hablar con gen leza con otros y a tratar con respeto a todos a su alrededor.
