THE SOLEMNITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo Trigésimo Cuarto (y último) Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"¡Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor!

Sunday Readings:
Daniel 7:13–14 The dominion of the Son of man is an everlasting dominion.
Psalm 93 “The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty.”
Revelation 1:5–8 The ruler of the kings of the earth has made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father.
John 18:33b–37 You say I am a king.
Throughout history Jesus Christ has been acknowledged as King. Even before he was born to Mary, Daniel prophesied that one like a Son of man would come from heaven to earth and be regarded as King and Lord. The author of Revelation calls him the faithful witness of the kingdom. In the Gospel we hear him witness to the kingdom in front of Pilate. That scene gives us an insight into his kingship, which is anchored in the truth, and to which he testified during his entire time on earth. Let us open our hearts to the truth, which continues to be revealed by Christ the King. ~ from Pastoral Patterns, fall 2021

Lecturas dominicales:
Daniel 7, 13–14; Salmo 92; Apocalipsis 1, 5–8; Juan 18, 33–37
A lo largo de la historia Jesucristo ha sido reconocido como Rey. Aun antes de haber nacido de María, Daniel profetizó que alguien semejante a un hijo de hombre vendría a la tierra desde el cielo y sería considerado Rey y Señor. El autor del libro del Apocalipsis se refiere a él como el testigo fiel del Reino. En el Evangelio escuchamos a Jesús dar testimonio del Reino frente a Pilato. Esa escena nos ofrece una percepción de su realeza, la cual está anclada en la verdad y de la cual él dio testimonio durante toda su vida en la tierra. Abramos nuestro corazón a la verdad, que continúa revelándose en Cristo Rey. ~de las publicaciones de WLP Gia, Pastoral Patterns

Dear Parishioner,
I am appealing to you to make your Diocesan Services Fund (DSF) donation as soon as possible. In the past, parishioners like you have been very generous, for which I am grateful.
We are $6,607.73 short in DSF pledges to meet our mandatory amount. If we fail to pay our required amount, then our parish operating budget must pay any deficit. Last year, we had to pay $5,435.00, and our operating budget could not absorb such a deficit. So please be extra generous in your donation amount by increasing your pledge if possible.

You may donate by:
Using the DSF pledge envelope mailed to you in mid-September, and a reminder sent in early November.
Using the blank DSF envelopes in the back of the church.
Pledging online (https://www.archgh.org/dsf) OR write a check by including the name of Christ Our Light and our ID number: 7793.
Remember that DSF supports more than sixty ministries in the Archdiocese. These ministries bring the light of Christ to people who have been particularly hit hard by the pandemic. Your gift to DSF strengthens these essential works of mercy.
A few examples are:
Catholic Charities is distributing thousands of tons of food.
San Jose Clinic devised curbside prescription pick-up
Our Chaplain Corps is providing pastoral care to hospitalized patients despite extreme contact restrictions
Your DSF donation will be used only for the sole purpose of these 60+ ministries to spread the light of Christ to people who need to experience the Gospel. Therefore, I ask you today not to neglect to share what you have with others and to make a gift to the DSF.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Elias Lopez
Pastor
Estimado feligrés,
Le pido que considere su donación hacia el Fondo de Servicios Diocesanos (DSF) lo antes posible. En el pasado, feligreses como usted han sido muy generosos, por lo que estoy agradecido.
Nos faltan $6,607.73 en promesas de DSF para cumplir con nuestra cantidad obligatoria. Si no pagamos nuestra cantidad obligatoria, entonces el presupuesto operativo de nuestra parroquia debe pagar cualquier déficit. El año pasado, tuvimos que pagar $5,435.00 y nuestro presupuesto operativo no puede absorber tal déficit. Así que por favor sea más generoso con el monto de su donación aumentando su contribución si es posible.

Recuerde que DSF apoya más de 60 ministerios en la Arquidiócesis. Estos ministerios llevan la luz de Cristo a las personas que han sido particularmente afectadas por la pandemia. Su donación a DSF fortalece estas importantes obras de misericordia.
Algunos ejemplos son:
Caridades Católicas está distribuyendo miles de toneladas de comida
San Jose Clínica ideó la recogida de recetas en la acera
Nuestro Cuerpo de Capellanes brinda atención pastoral a pacientes hospitalizados a pesar de las restricciones extremas de contacto
Su donación a DSF se utilizará únicamente para el único propósito de estos más de 60 ministerios para difundir la luz de Cristo a las personas que necesitan experimentar el Evangelio. Les pido hoy que no descuiden compartir lo que tienen con los demás y que hagan una donación al DSF.
Sinceramente en Cristo,
Rev. Elias López
