"Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood."

“Yo les aseguro que esa pobre viuda ha echado en la alcancía más que todos. Porque los demás han echado de lo que les sobraba; pero ésta, en su pobreza ha echado todo lo que tenía para vivir” Marcos 12:41-44.

Feast of Christ the King November 22 is the Feast of Christ the King, a reminder to us that this world is under the judgment of Christ. From the context of European Catholicism, it is easy to understand why earthly kings became a symbol of Jesus’ eternal reign. Even in the fourth century there are images of Christ as the all-powerful ruler. The Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, and Luke all speak of the “reign of God” or the “reign of heaven,” which was proclaimed by Christ and described in parables. So it was an easy transition to understand Jesus as a king. Indeed, much of the Christian art of the post-Constantine era depicts Jesus as the great ruler—pantokrator—who was envisioned wearing a crown and garbed as a Greco-Roman emperor.  The Bible refers to Jesus as King (Jn 18:36-37); King eternal (1 Tim. 1:17);   the King of Israel (Mt 27:42, Mk 15:32, Jn 1:49).   Jesus is called “King of the Jews” by Roman officials and by the Magi   (Mt 2:2, Mt 27:11, cf. Jn 18:33-37).   Jesus is called “king of kings” in the later New Testament books (1 Tim. 6:15; Rev. 19:16).  He is also called “King of the ages” (Rev. 15:3) and “Ruler of the kings of the Earth” (Rev. 1:5).  This celebration of Christ the King marks the end of the Church’s liturgical year. This feast reminds us that our faith teaches that, at the end of time, Christ will come again to judge “the living and the dead.” In 1925 Pope Pius XI made the Feast of Christ the King part of the Church year. Why so late? The answer lies in the cultural wars of modernity. Beginning with the Enlightenment, various social and political movements sought to secularlize governments to ensure that there would be no church control or interference in the affairs of nations. Few people wanted a king or a bishop dictating what they must do. In the search for freedom and power, for example, political leaders in France (and later in Mexico), denounced church interference in civil government; however, there were serious reactions. During the French Revolution, Vendean insurgents fought against the suppression of the Catholic Church. Their motto was “God is the King.” In Mexico, secular rulers sought to remove every vestige of Catholic influence, but they were opposed by the Cristero movement, which made Christ the King its symbol of defiance. When Pope Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King, he reminded Christians that their first allegiance was to their spiritual ruler in heaven, not to their earthly ruler or head of state. In addition he pointed out that the rule of Christ was not attained by violence. Today I think it would be wrong to defend our faith by violent means; nevertheless, I believe that all of us Catholics should be prepared to defend the faith by the lives we lead and by our ability to speak the truth of the gospel to others. Happy feast day! source: Father Dan Kroger, O.F.M., a native of Cincinnati, joined the Franciscans in 1967 and was ordained in 1973.

Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: “If you knew the gift of God!” You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God. Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind. We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.

Señor Jesucristo, tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos como el Padre del cielo, y nos has dicho que quien te ve, lo ve también a Él. Muéstranos tu rostro y obtendremos la salvación. Tu mirada llena de amor liberó a Zaqueo y a Mateo de la esclavitud del dinero; a la adúltera y a la Magdalena de buscar la felicidad solamente en una creatura; hizo llorar a Pedro luego de la traición, y aseguró el Paraíso al ladrón arrepentido. Haz que cada uno de nosotros escuche como propia la palabra que dijiste a la samaritana: ¡Si conocieras el don de Dios! Tú eres el rostro visible del Padre invisible, del Dios que manifiesta su omnipotencia sobre todo con el perdón y la misericordia: haz que, en el mundo, la Iglesia sea el rostro visible de Ti, su Señor, resucitado y glorioso. Tú has querido que también tus ministros fueran revestidos de debilidad para que sientan sincera compasión por los que se encuentran en la ignorancia o en el error: haz que quien se acerque a uno de ellos se sienta esperado, amado y perdonado por Dios. Manda tu Espíritu y conságranos a todos con su Unción para que el Jubileo de la Misericordia sea un año de gracia del Señor y tu Iglesia pueda, con renovado entusiasmo, llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobres proclamar la libertad a los prisioneros y oprimidos y restituir la vista a los ciegos. Te lo pedimos por intercesión de María, Madre de la Misericordia, a ti que vives y reinas con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

BENEDICTO XVI ÁNGELUS Domingo 9 de noviembre de 2008 Queridos hermanos y hermanas: La liturgia nos invita a celebrar hoy la Dedicación de la basílica de San Juan de Letrán, llamada "madre y cabeza de todas las Iglesias de la urbe y del orbe". En efecto, esta basílica fue la primera en ser construida después del edicto del emperador Constantino, el cual, en el año 313, concedió a los cristianos la libertad de practicar su religión. Ese mismo emperador donó al Papa Melquíades la antigua propiedad de la familia de los Laterani, y allí hizo construir la basílica, el baptisterio y patriarquio, es decir, la residencia del Obispo de Roma, donde habitaron los Papas hasta el período aviñonés. El Papa Silvestre celebró la dedicación de la basílica hacia el año 324, y el templo fue consagrado al Santísimo Salvador; sólo después del siglo VI se le añadieron los nombres de san Juan Bautista y san Juan Evangelista, de donde deriva su denominación más conocida. Esta fiesta al inicio sólo se celebraba en la ciudad de Roma; después, a partir de 1565, se extendió a todas las Iglesias de rito romano. De este modo, honrando el edificio sagrado, se quiere expresar amor y veneración a la Iglesia romana que, como afirma san Ignacio de Antioquía, "preside en la caridad" a toda la comunión católica (Carta a los Romanos, 1, 1). Queridos amigos, la fiesta de hoy celebra un misterio siempre actual: Dios quiere edificarse en el mundo un templo espiritual, una comunidad que lo adore en espíritu y en verdad (cf. Jn 4, 23-24). Pero esta celebración también nos recuerda la importancia de los edificios materiales, en los que las comunidades se reúnen para alabar al Señor. Por tanto, toda comunidad tiene el deber de conservar con esmero sus edificios sagrados, que constituyen un valioso patrimonio religioso e histórico. Por eso, invoquemos la intercesión de María santísima, para que nos ayude a convertirnos, como ella, en "casa de Dios", templo vivo de su amor.
