Dear Sisters and Brothers, Christ as Lord and King!!! On this last Sunday of the ordinary time of the year, we celebrate in a special way the kingship of Christ. While already many are anticipating the holidays – nothing wrong with that of course – as Christ followers, we are reminded of the things that are more important namely, the priority of our relationship with God in Christ. In a few days, we celebrate Thanksgiving, a day of national acknowledgement of God’s manifold blessings. The celebration of the solemnity of Christ the King is an auspicious open-ing to the week.
Christ kingship is the subject of the following paragraphs from the Catechism:
“In the Greek translation of the Old Testament, the ineffable Hebrew name YHWH, by which God revealed himself to Moses, is rendered as Kyrios, ‘Lord’. From then on, Lord’ becomes the more usual name by which to indicate the divinity of Israel’s God. The New Testament uses this full sense of the title ‘Lord’ both for the Father and – what is new – for Jesus, who is thereby recognized as God Himself. (CCC, 446)
“Jesus ascribes this title to himself in a veiled way when he disputes with the Phari-sees about the meaning of Psalm 110, but also in an explicit way when he addresses his apostles. Throughout his public life, he demonstrated his divine sovereignty by works of power over nature, illnesses, demons, death and sin. (CCC, 447)
“‘Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the liv-ing.’ Christ’s Ascension into heaven signifies his participation, in his humanity, in God’s power and authority. Jesus Christ is Lord: he possesses all power in heaven and on earth. He is ‘far above all rule and authority and power and dominion’, for the Father ‘has put all things under his feet.’ Christ is Lord of the cosmos and of history. In him human history and indeed all creation are ‘set forth’ and transcendently ful-filled. (CCC, 668)
“As Lord, Christ is also head of the Church, which is his Body. Taken up to heaven and glorified after he had thus fully accomplished his mission, Christ dwells on earth in his Church. The redemption is the source of the authority that Christ, by virtue of the Holy Spirit, exercises over the Church. ‘The kingdom of Christ [is] already pre-sent in mystery’, ‘on earth, the seed and the beginning of the kingdom’. (CCC, 669)
“Though already present in his Church, Christ’s reign is nevertheless yet to be ful-filled ‘with power and great glory’ by the King’s return to earth. This reign is still under attack by the evil powers, even though they have been defeated definitively by Christ’s Passover. Until everything is subject to him, ‘until there be realized new heavens and a new earth in which justice dwells, the pilgrim Church, in her sacra-ments and institutions, which belong to this present age, carries the mark of this world which will pass, and she herself takes her place among the creatures which groan and travail yet and await the revelation of the sons of God.’ That is why Christians pray, above all in the Eucharist, to hasten Christ’s return by saying to him: Marana tha! ‘Our Lord, come!’”(CCC, 671)
THANKSGIVING BASKETS If you signed up for a Thanksgiving basket, they can be picked up from the rectory between 12 noon and 2 PM on Tuesday, November 26th.
TRI-PARISH THANKSGIVING DAY MASS The Tri-Parish Thanksgiving Day Mass will be held at 9:00 AM on Thursday, November 28th, here at St. Pius V.
ST. VINCENT de PAUL SOCIETY The diocesan conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society is plan-ning to set up a conference in our tri-parish.

STEWARDSHIP AWARENESS SUNDAY “….giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the
inheritance of the holy ones in light.” (Colossians 1:12)
God wants us to be happy! Instead of looking at the Ten Command-ments as being restrictive and telling us what we can’t do, look at them as guides for living a joy-filled and peaceful life. Most of our problems arise when we put our own needs first or spend most of our time trying to acquire “things.” Instead, try putting God first in all things. Ask Him how He wants you to use your gifts.
WORD OF LIFE “He must reign in our hearts, which should spurn natural desires and love God above all things, and cleave to him alone” (Quas primas, 33).
DID YOU KNOW? It is the duty of citizens to work with civil authorities for the building up of society in a spirit of truth, justice, soli-darity, and freedom. Citizens are also obliged not to fol-low directives of civil authorities when those directives are contrary to the moral order. (CCC# 2235-2241)
