ST. EDWARD CATHOLIC CHURCH
For us, Christ is everything. We begin in each day in his presence. We are his people, from many walks of life, and from many nations and languages. We adore the Lord, address him with the psalms of our ancestors and enter the sacred Liturgy, the source and summit in our life in Christ. Through our Catechetical programs we pass on the faith both to adults and children, training in holiness which calls us to a Holy life distinguished above all in the art of prayer. Rising from prayer we minister to the needs of those who ask our help, with food and other assistance. We are the people of St. Edward Catholic Church in Newark, California. Christ is everything. If you have a wound to heal, he is the doctor; if you are in need of help, he is strength; if you fear death, he is life; if you desire Heaven, he is the way; if you are in the darkness, he is light. Blessed are they who hope in him!
St Gregory of Nyssa's commentary on the Song of Songs
Where are you pasturing your flock, O good Shepherd, who carry the whole flock on your shoulders? (for the whole of human nature is one sheep and you have lifted it onto your shoulders). Show me the place of peace, lead me to the good grass that will nourish me, call me by name so that I, your sheep, hear your voice, and by your speech give me eternal life. Answer me, you whom my soul loves.
I give you the name ‘you whom my soul loves’ because your name is above every name and above all understanding and there is no rational nature that can utter it
A PRAYER TO THE GOOD SHEPHERD
or comprehend it. Therefore your name, by which your goodness is known, is simply the love my soul has for you. How could I not love you, when you loved me so much, even though I was black, that you laid down your life for the sheep of your flock? A greater love cannot be imagined, than exchanging your life for my salvation.
Show me then (my soul says) where you pasture your flock, so that I can find that saving pasture too, and fill myself with the food of heaven without which no-one can come to eternal life, and run to the spring and fill myself with the drink of God. You give it, as from a spring, to those who thirst – water pouring from your side cut open by the lance, water that, to whoever drinks it, is a spring of water welling up to eternal life.
If you lead me to pasture here, you will make me lie down at noon, sleeping at peace and taking my rest in light

unstained by any shade. For the noon has no shade and the sun stands far above the mountain peaks. You bring your flock to lie in this light when you bring your children to rest with you in your bed. But no one can be judged worthy of this noonday rest who is not a child of light and a child of the day. Whoever has separated himself equally from the shadows of evening and morning, from where evil begins and evil ends, at noon he will lie down and the sun of righteousness will shine on him.
Show me, then (my soul says), how I should sleep and how I should graze, and where the path is to my noonday rest. Do not let me fall away from your flock because of ignorance, and find myself one of a flock of sheep that are not yours. Thus my soul spoke, when she was anxious about the beauty that God’s care had given her and wanted to know how she could keep this good fortune forever.

Igreja de Santo Eduardo 24 de Novembro, 2013 Missa Domingo Jesus Cristo Rei Do Universo
BOLETIM PORTUGUÊS MISSA DOMINGO
JESUS CRISTO REI DO UNIVERSO Comentário: Com a festa de Cristo Rei, chegamos a mais um final de ano litúrgico. Durante este, a cada domingo acolhemos os ensinamentos de Jesus através dos escritos do evangelista Lucas. A festa que celebramos tem a finalidade não tanto de nos dizer que Jesus é Rei, mas de nos mostrar que a natureza do seu reinado é completamente diferente daquela com as quais nós estamos habituados. Jesus durante toda a sua atividade pública falava do seu Reino. E o apresentou como uma pedra preciosa e um tesouro num campo: bens preciosos escondidos; o que torna bastante interessante e desafiadora a busca deste reino, e não impossível a sua descoberta para quem o procura. O tesouro, obviamente, é o próprio Jesus; e, no Evangelho de hoje, vemos claramente como este tesouro está escondido, pois, é preciso ver com os olhos da fé para entender que um homem pendurado numa cruz, que sofre por horas a condenação à morte com uma das penas mais humilhantes, parecendo nada mais que um derrotado, um perdedor, rejeitado e desprezado, seja verdadeiramente um Rei. Para a lógica do mundo, isto é um absurdo. Esta lógica é a dos chefes judaicos. Enquanto o povo observava tudo aquilo com grande dificuldade de compreensão, os chefes do povo caçoavam de Jesus, dizendo: “a outros ele salvou. Salve-se a si mesmo, se, de fato, é o Cristo de Deus, o escolhido!”; mas, no fundo, não acreditavam naquilo que diziam, por isso mesmo, o provocavam e o insultavam. Também os soldados faziam algo semelhante, mas como não eram judeus, até o chamavam de “rei dos judeus”, e pediam que ele se salvasse por si só. Pediam para que ele mostrasse o seu poder. Até mesmo a escrita colocada sobre a cruz: “este é o rei dos judeus”, era uma maneira de ofensa. Nesta mesma direção, um dos malfeitores que estava sendo crucificado junto com Jesus, o insultava pedindo com ironia pra que Jesus salvasse a si mesmo e a eles também, os dois malfeitores. Realmente, a cruz põe uma grande interrogação sobre toda a obra precedente de Jesus, pois parece desmentir claramente tudo aquilo que ele fez e disse. Uma pessoa que está pendurada numa cruz preste a morrer, como pode salvar a outros? Quem depende da sua ajuda, vendo aquela cena, só poderia rir, encontrar uma outra ajuda ou se desesperar. É uma imagem bem diferente da que temos de rei na nossa mente. E agora? Aparece, então, uma última fala que parece até um milagre. Pelo menos um dos presentes, diretamente envolvido na

situação, já que também está sendo crucificado, compreende estar pertinho do tesouro da sua vida. É o outro malfeitor, que nós o chamamos “bom ladrão”, o qual consegue compreender aquele tesouro de graça, mesmo só nos últimos momentos de sua vida. Ele reconhece que aquele homem crucificado, que não desce da cruz, mas morre nela, é o seu Rei salvador. Ele tem fé em Jesus Cristo. Sua oração testemunha isto: “Jesus, lembra- te de mim quando entrares no teu reinado”; é o que pede a Jesus condenado ao seu lado, que está sofrendo a mesma terrível morte vergonhosa. Ele está convencido de que Jesus não fez nada de mal e por isso, não merece morrer; e, que, por isso, Jesus não acaba com a morte, mas que é através dela que ele entrará no seu reino. Assim, Jesus, com um último “decreto real” afirma, e assegura ao malfeitor que pediu o seu amor que ele provará da alegria do seu reino: “em verdade eu te digo, ainda hoje estarás comigo no paraíso”. Jesus entrou no paraíso com um malfeitor, que na cruz conseguiu a fé. Que imagem forte! É uma imagem como esta que nos conscientiza claramente que nunca devemos condenar ninguém, nem a nós mesmos, mas sempre estar dispostos a aceitar o tesouro de Deus: o seu amor incondicional por nós. Na cruz, a obra de Jesus chega ao ponto mais alto. O crucificado mostra não ser um rei que garanta o bem estar terreno. Não salvou a si mesmo da cruz. Não nos preserva nem das enfermidades nem da morte. O seu poder refere-se a nossa vida com Deus. Jesus salva da queda do afastamento de Deus e reconduz à comunhão com ele. Quem busca isto nele, será salvo por ele, mesmo que seja um malfeitor. A festa de Cristo Rei, é a festa do deste amor que se doou por toda a humanidade. – Pe Carlos Henrique Nascimento
