Dear Parishioners,

If Easter had been one week earlier, we would be celebrating

the 34th week of the year this week-end. The last Sunday of the

liturgical year is always the Solemnity of Christ the King. Since

there must always be four weeks of Advent, the date of Easter

determines whether there will be a 34th Sunday in Ordinary time

or we go directly to Christ the King. The celebration of the

Lord’s kingship belongs to that class of feasts called idea-feasts,

that is it celebrates no specific event in the history of salvation,

but rather honors the Savior Himself under the title of king. Pope

Pius XI instituted this feast in 1925 to counteract the growing

laicism, secularism and atheism of the time. Against these errors

the feast affirms the sovereignty and rule of Christ over persons,

families, human society, the state, the whole universe. In

particular the feast affirms the messianic kingship of Christ. Jesus

is the king who has obtained his sovereignty through his blood.

He is the Redeemer king. The original feast of Christ the King is

that of the Ascension. On that day Jesus was exalted to the right

hand of the Father and crowned with glory and honor. The

November feast is only a duplication of that larger feast. For that

reason the texts of the Feast of Christ the King are but an

amplification of those used on Ascension Thursday.

By calling ourselves Christians we label ourselves as

followers of the king. God did not intend Israel to have a

kingdom. As the little book “Magnificat” points out, the kingdom

was a result of Israel’s rebellion against it. The law was to be

Israel’s king, and through the law God himself would be king.

God yielded to Israel’s obstinacy and so devised a new kind of

kingship for them. The King is Jesus, in him God entered into

humanity and espoused it to himself. This is the usual form of the

divine activity in relation to mankind. God does not have a fixed

plan that he must carry out, on the contrary he has many different

ways of finding man and even of turning his wrong ways into

right ways. As Pope Benedict XVI pointed out, “the feast of

Christ the King is not a feast of those subjugated, but a feast of

those who know that they are in the hands of the one who writes

straight on crooked lines.” This feast then, will bring the

Liturgical Year with the cycle A of the scripture reading to a

close. Next week we begin the season of Advent, turn to the B

cycle of Sunday scripture readings and begin the proximate

preparation for the birth of Christ on Christmas day.

Since Christmas falls on a Monday this year, we will begin

printing the Christmas Mass schedule next week to give you an

early warning about the Christmas schedule.

Sincerely,

Fr John R. Mulvehill

III Kaitlyn Milligan & William Soniri

"Then the king will say to those on his right,

'Come, you who are blessed by my Father.

Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the

foundation of the world. For I was hungry and

you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave

me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me,

naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for

me, in prison and you visited me.'" - Mt 25:34-36

Please pray for Karen Elliott and Kathleen Carroll

whose Funerals were held this past week. May their

souls and the Souls of All the Faithful Departed Rest

In Peace. AMEN
