This is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
Have a VERY Happy Thanksgiving!
What kind of king is Jesus? In this reading from the Passion account in John's Gospel, Jesus provides us with his own answer. Pontius Pilate was the Roman official who held power in Palestine. He asks Jesus if he is the king of the Jews. Pilate really wants to know whether Jesus might be part of a Jewish revolt against Roman rule. Jesus assures Pilate that his kingdom is not of this world. He is not one who rules by force.
However he is a king who came into the world "to testify to the truth." All who recognize him as "the way and the truth and the life" will hear his voice.
As the Church year comes to a close, we are grateful for the ways in which we have heard our King's voice in the liturgy this year. We consider how to live the words of Jesus more faithfully as the circle of the new liturgical year begins.

The Wea Knights Are Smoking!
Thanksgiving is coming and we are “Smokin”!
Since we enjoy taking care of our parish family we are firing up the smoker. The meat will have that great smoked flavor and we will have our seasoning packets to take the flavor to the next level. So order early and don’t miss out. Deadline for ordering is November 21 and we will once again be doing a drive thru pickup.
Join Us for Rejoice!
Advent Meditations with the Holy FamilyAdvent is a special season for the Church — it is the time when the world prepares to celebrate the coming of Christ anew. Often, we lose sight of the point of this season because we get caught up in our preparations for Christmas and arrive at Christmas no more transformed than we were at the start of Advent.
Our parish is seeking to prepare for Jesus' birth and experience true transformation in this powerful season by engaging with a program called Rejoice! Advent Meditations with the Holy Family by Ascension Press. This year, we will walk with Mary and Joseph as they prepare to welcome their son, the Savior of the World.We have the opportunity to walk together, following the Holy Family on their journey to Bethlehem.
See the Bulletin for details.
A bit of humor…
Have a great week!
If you know someone who would want to receive the weekly email, please let me know and I can get them added.
