~ REFLECTION ~

Often when we think of Christ with his title of “King” we think about the Last Judgment. At our celebration today we will indeed hear about Christ at the end-times. Yet the purpose of our gathering here is not to become fearful about what is to come, but rather to support one another in the tasks at hand, encouraged by our good and faithful Shepherd. This way, when judgment time comes, we can be ready and rejoice over the good deeds that have built up God’s kingdom.

~ REFLEXION ~

Cuando pensamos en Cristo con su título de “Rey” la imagen que nos viene a menudo es la del Juicio Final. En efecto, en nuestra celebración de hoy oiremos acerca de Cristo al final de los tiempos; sin embargo, el propósito de reunirnos aquí no es para asustarnos, sino para apoyarnos los unos a los otros frente a la obra que tenemos por delante, pues nos anima nuestro buen y fiel Pastor. De esta manera, cuando llegue el tiempo del juicio, estaremos preparados y alegres por las buenas obras que han construido el Reino de Dios.

Did You Know? If you’re traveling to

spend Thanksgiving with friends or family, it’s important that everyone in your group is up to speed on travel safety, and this safety starts at home. Make sure you have plans in place that let friends and family know where you’re headed, and set up your house to look “lived-in” when you’re on the road. Teach kids to pack smart—avoid bringing unneeded valuables and carry only the necessary ID cards and money in the event of an emergency.

Sabia Usted? Si usted viaja para pasar el Día de

Acción de Gracias con sus amigos o con su familia, es importante que todos en su grupo estén al día con la seguridad de los viajes, y esta seguridad comienza en casa. Asegúrese de tener planes que le permiten a sus amigos y familiares saber a dónde se dirige, y preparar su casa para que se mire como que alguien está adentro cuando todos se hayan ido. Enseñe a los niños a empacar inteligentemente: evite llevar objetos de valor innecesarios y lleve sólo las tarjetas de identificación necesarias y dinero en caso de una emergencia.

4 | St. Brigid Catholic Church

Christ Jesus, I acknowledge You King of the universe. All that has been created has been made for You. Make full use of Your rights over me. I renew the promises I made in Baptism, when I renounced Satan and all his pomps and works, and I promise to live a good Christian life and to do all in my power to procure the triumph of the rights of God and Your Church. Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You my efforts in order to obtain that all hearts may acknowledge Your Sacred Royalty, and that thus the Kingdom of Your peace may be established throughout the universe. Amen. Cristo Jesús, Te reconozco Rey del Universo. Todo lo que se ha creado se ha hecho para ti. Haz pleno uso de tus derechos sobre mí. Renuevo las promesas que hice en el bautismo, Cuando renuncié a Satanás y a todas sus pompas y obras, y prometo vivir una buena vida Cristiana y hacer todo en mi poder para procurar el triunfo de los derechos de Dios y Tu Iglesia. Corazón Divino de Jesús, Te ofrezco mis esfuerzos con el fin de obtener que todos los corazones puedan reconocer tu Sagrada Realeza, y así el Reino de Tu Paz pueda establecerse en todo el universo. Amén.
