Solemnity of Christ the King Fr. Jean Galot, S.J. Weekday Mass Readings November 21: Revelation 14:1-5; Psalm24; Luke 21:1-4 November 22: Revelation 14:14-19; Psalm 96; Luke 21:5-11

Jesus is King because he witnesses to Truth Jesus of Nazareth revealed himself to be a king, in the sense that he made himself known as the Messiah for whom the Jewish people awaited: the Messiah had been proclaimed as the ideal king who was to crown all the aspirations of a nation full of hope.

November 23: Revelation 15:1-4; Psalm 98; Luke 21:12-19

It is this figure of the ideal king that Andrew discovered, who then enabled his brother Simon to discover the same truth by telling him: "We have found the Messiah" (Jn 1:41).

November 24: Revelation 15:1-4; Psalm 145; I Corinthians 1:3-9; Luke 17:11-19

Jesus bore no resemblance to a king. Up to the age of 30, he did not make himself known and had no recognizable title. In the little-known village of Nazareth he simply exercised the craft of carpenter, which did not prepare him for a royal destiny.

November 25: Revelation 20:1-11; Psalm184; Luke 21:29-33

At the time when he left the village and began his preaching mission, there was nothing to suggest that he had the qualities or power of a king: he was a king without an army and without a people.

November 26: Revelation 22:1-7; Psalm95; Luke 21:34-36

A different kind of Kingdom

Thanksgiving Day Masses Thursday, November 24

6:30 a.m. English 9:00 a.m. English 10:30 a.m. Español No evening Mass On the Cover: Adoration of the Mystic Lamb (Ghent Altarpiece, detail). Jan and Hubert van Eyck, 1432. St. Bavo Cathedral, Ghent, Belgium.

Nevertheless, there was a group that wanted to recognize him as an ideal king, a messianic king. This was the multitude that had benefited from the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves. Those who had been fed free-ofcharge and had been able to eat bread in abundance wished Jesus to take on the role of Messiah and provide for the people's needs. But this is not what Jesus wanted: indeed, he announced the gift of a spiritual food for the foundation of a spiritual kingdom.

So just what kind of kingdom was this? The question was asked specifically during the trial before Pilate. Jesus' adversaries were accusing him of challenging the sovereign power of the Roman Emperor by desiring to make himself King of the Jews. Pilate therefore asked the accused: "Are you the King of the Jews?" (Jn 18:33). The Roman Procurator had been informed of the sentiments of envy and rivalry that had given rise to the accusation; but he had to interrogate Jesus about his intentions in order to report to the Emperor on this possible Jewish King. But Jesus had other concerns and wanted to make Pilate ponder on the problem that arose from his mysterious kingly identity. "Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?" he asks Pilate. If the Procurator was only repeating what others told him, the question did not require much thought; but if he had said it of his own accord, this would indicate that deeper reflection was required. Jesus as King witnesses to truth

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord: In just a few days our nation will celebrate Thanksgiving Day. It is a commemoration rooted in our national history, and has helped to shape the American imagination. As a nation of immigrants, it is important that each new generation strive to understand and embrace the principles and customs that have made this nation a beacon to others. George Washington issued the first Proclamation of a National Day of Thanksgiving, in 1789. It was originally observed on November 26. Later, the date was fixed as the fourth Thursday of November. As a national holiday, Thanksgiving is a day for family reunions, a festive meal, and for being conscious of the many blessings we enjoy in this country. In the midst of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln issued a Thanksgiving Proclamation, which is among the most memorable of those issued by the various Presidents. What follows is a portion of that decree, made in 1863: Our national blessings, the President wrote, “are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States… to set apart and observe… a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. “And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.” The Mass schedule for Thanksgiving Day may be found on page two of this bulletin. Sincerely Yours in Christ,

Christmas Magnet Fundraiser

Commuter Mass

The ACTS Apostolate invites you to help remind everyone about the meaning of Christmas.

For several years now, the priests of Regina Caeli Parish have offered a weekday morning Mass in Latin at 6:30 a.m. From now on, the 6:30 a.m. Mass will be in English and will be offered by the priests of our parish. Why not start your day by meeting the Lord in His holy Word and in the Holy Eucharist? Mass will end by 7:00 a.m.

After every Mass during the first two weekends of December, members will be at the flagpoles selling magnets that can be displayed on your cars or in your home. This is a great stocking stuffer!

R.C.I.A. The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is for people who are thinking about the possibility of becoming Catholic. It is for people who have not been baptized, people of other faiths or people who have been baptized Catholic but did not complete the sacraments of Initiation. This is a beautiful process, with no pressure to commit to our faith community, in which interested persons slowly explore the beliefs of the Catholic Church and discern, over a period of many months, if they desire to become Catholic. If you are interested, or have a relative, friend or co-worker who has expressed this interest, please call: Nadia Jara: 281- 463-7878 ext. 337 or at [email protected]

Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas en el Señor:

El Horario de las Posadas 14 al 22 de Diciembre

En pocos días nuestra nación celebrará el Día de Acción de Gracias. Es una conmemoración arraigada en nuestra historia nacional, y ha ayudado a dar forma a la imaginación americana. Como nación de inmigrantes, es importante que cada nueva generación se esfuerce por entender y aceptar los principios y costumbres que han hecho de esta nación una guia para otros. George Washington publicó la primera Proclamación del Día Nacional de Acción de Gracias, en 1789. Se observó originalmente el 26 de Noviembre. Más tarde, la fecha se fijó como el cuarto Jueves de Noviembre. Como día de fiesta nacional, el Día de Acción de Gracias es un día para reuniones familiares, una comida festiva y por tomar conciencia de las muchas bendiciones que disfrutamos en este país. En medio de la Guerra Civil, Abraham Lincoln emitió una Proclamación de Acción de Gracias, que está entre las más memorables de las emitidas por los diversos Presidentes. Lo que sigue es una parte de ese decreto, hecho en 1863: Escribió el Presidente: “Nuestras bendiciones nacionales, "son los dones graciosos del Dios Altísimo, quien, aun enojado por nuestros pecados, los olvida por su gran misericordia. Me ha parecido conveniente que se le reconozca con solemnidad, reverencia y gratitud, con un corazón y una sola voz de todo el pueblo americano. Por lo tanto, invito a mis conciudadanos en todas partes de los Estados Unidos a apartar y observar un día de Acción de Gracias y alabanza a nuestro bienaventurado Padre que mora en los Cielos. "Y les recomiendo a ellos, que al estarle ofreciendo a nuestro Padre las atribuciones justas por tales libertades y bendiciones singulares, ellos también, con humilde penitencia por nuestra perversidad nacional y desobediencia, encomienden a su tierno cuidado a todos aquellos que se han convertido en viudas, huérfanos , dolientes o enfermos en la lamentable lucha civil en la que estamos inevitablemente comprometidos, e imploramos fervientemente la interposición de la Mano Omnipotente para sanar las heridas de la nación y restaurarla tan pronto como sea compatible con los propósitos Divinos para el pleno disfrute de paz, armonía, tranquilidad y unión ".

Lighthouse CD of the Week

Anh chị em thân mến trong Chúa:

Jesus the Bridegroom by Dr. Brant Pitre

Chỉ một vài ngày nữa quốc gia chúng ta sẽ mừng Lễ Tạ Ơn. Đó là một lễ hội bắt nguồn từ lịch sử của quốc gia chúng ta, và đã giúp hình thành giấc mơ của người Hoa Kỳ. Là một quốc gia của những người nhập cư, thật quan trọng là mỗi thế hệ mới phải nỗ lực để hiểu và nắm lấy các nguyên tắc và tập quán đã làm cho đất nước này thành một ngọn hải đăng cho những quốc gia khác.

Dr. Brant Pitre is an engaging speaker who regularly lectures throughout the country. In this talk, Dr. Pitre applies his knowledge of the Jewish roots of Christianity to the heart of the Gospel: the love of Christ. You will learn what it really means to have a “personal relationship” with Jesus Christ.

George Washington đã ra Tuyên cáo ngày lễ Tạ Ơn đầu tiên của quốc gia, vào năm 1789. Ban đầu ngày lễ được mừng vào ngày 26 tháng 11. Sau đó, ngày lễ được ấn định là ngày thứ năm của tuần lễ thứ tư trong tháng mười một. Là một ngày lễ nghỉ của quốc gia, Lễ Tạ Ơn là một ngày của đoàn tụ gia đình, một bữa ăn mừng, và với ý niệm rằng nhiều ơn lành chúng ta đã được hưởng tại đất nước này.

Parishioner Comments: “Priceless! Clarifies the confusion Catholics and non-Catholics have in regards to the sacraments of Marriage and the Eucharist." " One of the most clear, intelligent, and passionate explanations of salvation history I have ever heard! God's covenant relationship with humanity is revealed beautifully!"

Trong bối cảnh của cuộc nội chiến, Abraham Lincoln đã ban hành một tuyên cáo Lễ Tạ Ơn, một trong những tuyên bố đáng nhớ nhất của các vị Tổng Thống. Những điểm sau đây chính là một phần của nghị định, được ban hành năm 1863:

Your generous donations to cover our cost assure continued availability of these wonderful resources!

Ơn lành của quốc gia chúng ta, Tổng Thống đã viết, "là những món quà đầy ân sủng của Thiên Chúa Tối Cao, đấng, trong khi đối sử cách giận dữ với chúng ta bởi vì tội lỗi của chúng ta, nhưng vẫn đầy lòng thương xót. Điều này với tôi phù hợp và đúng đắn rằng chúng ta nên long trọng, cung kính và bầy tỏ lòng tạ ơn với cùng một con tim và một lời nói của cả Dân Tộc Hoa Kỳ. Do đó tôi mời gọi đồng bào của tôi ở khắp nơi của Hoa Kỳ ... hãy dành dịp này để ăn mừng ... một ngày Tạ Ơn và Ngợi Khen Cha nhân từ của chúng ta, đấng ngự trên trời. "Và tôi đề nghị với mọi người rằng trong khi dâng những ước nguyện chính đáng lên Ngài để xin hằng ngày dùng đủ, chúng ta cũng hãy có lòng sám hối khiêm tốn cho những lỗi lầm và sự bất tuân đối với quốc gia của chúng ta, ca ngợi sự chăm sóc dịu dàng của Ngài cho tất cả những góa phụ, các em mồ côi, những người gặp cảnh tang tóc hoặc những người đang đau khổ vì các xung đột dân sự đáng tiếc mà chúng ta đang không thể tránh được, và tha thiết xin Đấng Toàn Năng ra tay để hàn gắn những vết thương của quốc gia và khôi phục lại đất nước ngay khi có thể để phù hợp với mục đích của Thiên Chúa để mọi người được hưởng trọn vẹn nền hòa bình, sự hòa hợp, yên ổn và hiệp nhất."

No session this week of Thanksgiving! Next session will be on November 30 Wed. mornings 5:30 a.m. - 7:00 a.m. in the CLC! Invest a little time in yourself to become a better husband, father and spiritual leader in your family! Coffee, juice, donuts & kolaches are served to jump start your morning. No cost, preparation or outside commitments! Experience one session! Come, listen and learn!

Continued from page 2… Pilate did not want to make this investigation. He limited himself to noting that he was not a Jew and that Jesus' conduct was the only point to examine: "What have you done?" Nonetheless, the reflection that Pilate wished to avoid was imposed upon him by other words spoken by the accused. Jesus drew the Procurator's attention to the unique and exceptional nature of his Kingdom: "My kingship is not of this world". He then states, "if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight that I might not be handed over to the Jews". This reasoning expressed an obvious truth, difficult to dispute. But in exactly what did this Kingdom, which was not of this world, consist? It was the Kingdom that Jesus had proclaimed throughout his preaching. During the trial, he summed up its essential content: "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice". This declaration prompted a skeptical retort from Pilate: "What is truth?"

Diaper Drive

December 3-4 and 10-11 The SEAS Ladies Auxiliary and the ACTS Apostolate invite you to participate in our Diaper and Wipes Drive to benefit Child Advocates & Foundation for Life. Members will be at the flagpoles on the weekends of December 3rd and 4th; and December 10th and 11th after all Masses, to support the Knights of Columbus in collecting donations of diapers, wipes and financial donations. Won’t you please join us in the spirit of giving to these babies? For more information about our Diaper & Wipes Drive contact Dolores Nevares at [email protected] or call her at 713582-3100.

However, as a fundamental piece of information about the Kingdom it requires those who read the Gospel to meditate on it. Christ is King since he bears witness to the truth. This witness entailed his supreme commitment in sacrifice. With the sacrifice of himself, Jesus established his Kingdom. He was born and lived on this earth with a view to this witness. He became King with the total gift of his love and of his life. L'Osservatore Romano, Weekly Edition in English; 22 November 2006, page 9

Thanksgiving After Mass

St. Thomas Aquinas

Lord, Father all-powerful and ever-living God, I thank You, for even though I am a sinner, your unprofitable servant, not because of my worth but in the kindness of your mercy, You have fed me with the Precious Body & Blood of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

The start of 2017 will mark the twentieth anniversary of Perpetual Adoration here at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. We want to hear about your experiences with the Blessed Sacrament. Please share your story, or a brief testimonial, with us at the following e-mail address:

I pray that this Holy Communion may not bring me condemnation and punishment but forgiveness and salvation. May it be a helmet of faith and a shield of good will. May it purify me from evil ways and put an end to my evil passions. May it bring me charity and patience, humility and obedience, and growth in the power to do good.

[email protected] Your experience may be shared with our fellow parishioners in the Bulletin and could encourage others to spend time with Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. If you wish to remain anonymous, please request so in your e-mail.

May it be my strong defense against all my enemies, visible and invisible, and the perfect calming of all my evil impulses, bodily and spiritual. May it unite me more closely to you, the One true God, and lead me safely through death to everlasting happiness with You.

Militia Immaculata Consecration Ceremony Dec. 7 at 7:00 p.m. Mass with Consecration Ceremony at Our Lady of Czestochowa Catholic Church, 1731 Blalock Road, Houston.

And I pray that You will lead me, a sinner, to the banquet where you, with Your Son and holy Spirit, are true and perfect light, total fulfillment, everlasting joy, gladness without end, and perfect happiness to your saints. grant this through Christ our Lord, AMEN.

Christ the King: November 20, 2016

Blessed Miguel Augustin Pro

November 23

Born on January 13, 1891 in Guadalupe, Mexico, Miguel Agustin Pro Juarez was the eldest son of Miguel Pro and Josefa Juarez. In 1915, Miguel was sent to a seminary in Spain, where he remained until 1924, when he went to Belgium for his ordination to the priesthood in 1925. Miguel suffered from a severe stomach problem and after three operations, when his health did not improve, his superiors, in 1926, allowed him to return to Mexico in spite of the grave religious persecution in that country. Miguel spent the rest of his life in a secret ministry to the sturdy Mexican Catholics. He also carried out the works of mercy by assisting the poor in Mexico City with their temporal needs. He adopted many interesting disguises in carrying out his secret ministry. He would come in the middle of the night dressed as a beggar to baptize infants, bless marriages and celebrate Mass. He would appear in jail dressed as a police officer to bring Holy Viaticum to condemned Catholics. Falsely accused in the bombing attempt on a former Mexican president, Miguel became a wanted man. Betrayed to the police, he was sentenced to death without the benefit of any legal process. On the day of his execution, Fr. Pro forgave his executioners, prayed, bravely refused the blindfold and died proclaiming, "Viva Cristo Rey", "Long live Christ the King!"
