PASTOR'S WEEKLY MESSAGE
The Feast of Christ the King, November 25, 2018
Christ the King: Α & Ω
Today is the last Sunday of the church’s liturgical year and we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord
Jesus Christ the King. We conclude the liturgical year acknowledging Christ as the King of the uni-
verse. This is He whose kingdom is not of this world and whose kingdom will last forever. This king
is the one who came to witness to the truth as we read in the gospel today: “You say I am king. For
this, I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth” (John 18:37).
One of the rites of Easter vigil is the preparation of the Easter candle. The priest traces the first and
the last Greek letters on the candle, a sign that Jesus the light of the world, is the Alpha (Α) and
Omega (Ω); the beginning and end of our faith; the first and the last. Jesus is the one who is ever
constant and present in the world. He is the truth and the life. Truth is always constant. In today’s gospel, Pilate was
face to face with Jesus who without any royal regalia had the aura of a king around him. Pilate wanted to know if Jesus
was a king. Jesus acknowledged that he is a king but his kingdom is not of this world and that his kingdom belongs to
all who recognize the truth and witness to it. Jesus said he came to testify to the truth. This is what the feast of today is
all about: witnessing to the truth. Integrity is what the world needs. Jesus whom we are called to follow was not bent
on being popular but rather living a life of integrity.
Jesus is the beginning and the end. He is also the one in the middle and indeed everywhere all the way. Do we ac-
knowledge him only during special feasts of the year and neglect him in our everyday life? Or do we acknowledge him
even in those turbulent periods of our lives? To testify to the truth, we must experience the truth in our everyday lives.
When I think of a man of integrity, my mind goes to St. Thomas More also. He was a strong man who was ready to die
in order to preserve his integrity. He did not succumb to the threats of King Henry VIII of England but stood firm in the
faith of the Church.
The end of this liturgical year brings us to the beginning of another one next Sunday. As we start a new liturgical year
next Sunday, let us call on Jesus the King of all hearts to help us to be men and women of truth and integrity all year
round.
Campaign Commitment Sunday: I have witnessed some incredible enthusiasm for the case of this campaign during our
receptions, and I just want to thank all those parishioners who attended one of the receptions that we held. I am grate-
ful also to those who have already made a pledge towards the campaign. Next Sunday is designated as Commitment
Sunday of our Capital Campaign. If you were not able to attend any of the receptions, we mailed your campaign packet
to you this past week. We need every parishioner to make a commitment to this campaign. We are asking for equal
sacrifice, not equal giving, knowing that everyone cannot give equal monetary donations for this campaign. Please
prayerfully consider the pledge you are making for this campaign and do so this week. Together we work to improve
our home church, St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church and School. No one should wait for others to do it, each of
us must make our own contributions to continue to build on the foundations laid by those who were here before us.
Thank you again for your generosity.
Fr. Felix I. Osasona, MSP

and especially in the Mass. When we encounter Him, we come to know, love, and
serve Him in this world for eternal happiness in the next.
Breaking Open the Word for Families for The Solemnity of Christ the King
By Ginger Herrington
Reading 1: Daniel 7:13-14. Daniel saw the Son of Man coming on the clouds of Heaven. 600 years before Jesus was born, the prophet Daniel was
inspired by the Holy Spirit with dreams and visions. He foretold the coming of Jesus, the Son of Man, Who received from the Ancient of Days do-
minion, glory, and kingship which would never be taken away or destroyed. We profess Daniel’s prophecy each Sunday in our Nicene Creed: He
will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom shall have no end.
Reading 2: From the Book of Revelations 1:5-8. Jesus Christ is coming amid the clouds. Jesus Christ, the “faithful witness, the ruler of the kings of
the Earth,” loves us and has freed us from slavery to sin and death by His death and Resurrection. At the end of time, we all will rise; this is called
the “general resurrection.” Some will rise to glory for their love of God; some will rise to eternal damnation if they reject God. The Lord God is the
One “who was and is and is to come.” He is the beginning(Alpha) and the end (Omega).
Gospel: John 18:33b-37. Pilate asked Jesus if He was the King of the Jews. Jesus confirmed that He was, indeed, a king, but that His kingdom was
“not of this world.” Jesus is King not only of the Jews, but He is the King of the Universe, the solemn feast we celebrate today. Hear the Word of
the Lord; He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life for all Who hearken to His voice.
Friday, November 30 is the feast day of St. Andrew the Apostle. St. Andrew is referred to in the Eastern churches as the “First Called” because he was
the first to respond to Jesus. When John the Baptist pointed to Jesus as the Lamb of God and instructed his disciples to follow Him, Andrew went
after Jesus immediately. Andrew introduced Jesus to his brother, St. (Simon) Peter. Although brothers, Simon has a Hebrew name and Andrew
has a Greek name, reflecting the Galilean culture made up of Greeks and Jews. Andrew brought the boy with the fishes and loaves to Jesus; and
Andrew and Philip arranged a meeting with Jesus and a group of Greeks who wanted to meet Him. After Jesus’ Ascension into Heaven and after
Pentecost, Andrew evangelized the Greek part of the world; he was crucified in Patras, in Greece, on an X-shaped cross which we now call “St.
Andrew’s cross.” Andrew called the cross “a gift,” as by means of the cross, Andrew imitates his Master, Jesus Christ and will confidently meet Him
in Heaven. Lord, grant us the grace to view our crosses as gifts by which we marry our sufferings to Yours and by which we meet You. St. Andrew,
apostle of Christ, pray for us!

FEAST OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE - DECEMBER 12
Joins us for the Mañanitas on December 11th at 10:00 p.m. and Mass for Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12th at
8:30 a.m. (English) and 7:00 p.m. (bilingual). Reception will follow. Everyone is welcome!
Mesoamerica, the New World, 1521: The capital city of the Aztec empire falls under the Spanish forces. Less than
20 years later, 9 million of the inhabitants of the land, who professed for centuries a polytheistic and human sacri-
ficing religion, are converted to Christianity. What happened in those times that produced such an incredible and
historically unprecedented conversion?
In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a humble Native American at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of what is now
Mexico City.
She identified herself as the ever virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the True God for whom we live, of the Creator of all
things, Lord of heaven and the earth.
She made a request for a church to be built on the site, and submitted her wish to the local Bishop. When the Bishop hesitated, and requested
her for a sign, the Mother of God obeyed without delay or question to the Church's local Bishop, and sent her native messenger to the top of the
hill in mid-December to gather an assortment of roses for the Bishop.
After complying to the Bishop's request for a sign, She also left for us an image of herself imprinted miraculously on the native's tilma, a poor
quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 476 years later and still defies all scientific explana-
tions of its origin. It apparently even reflects in Her eyes what was in front of her in 1531.
Her message of love and compassion, and her universal promise of help and protection to all mankind, as well as the story of the apparitions,
are described in the "Nican Mopohua", a 16th-century document written in the native Nahuatl language.
There is a reason to believe that at Tepeyac Mary came in her glorified body, and her actual physical hands rearranged the roses in Juan Diego’s
tilma, which makes this apparition very special.
An incredible list of miracles, cures and interventions are attributed to Her. Yearly, between 18 - 20 million pilgrims visit the Basilica, making it
Christianity's most visited sanctuary.
Altogether 25 popes have officially honored Our Lady of Guadalupe. His Holiness John Paul II visited her Sanctuary four times: on his first apos-
tolic trip outside Rome as Pope in 1979, and again in 1990, 1999 and 2002.
The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is celebrated on December 12th. In 1999, Pope John Paul II, in his homily from the Solemn Mass at the Ba-
silica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, during his third visit to the sanctuary, declared the date of December the 12th as a Liturgical Holy Day for the
whole continent.
During the same visit, Pope John Paul II entrusted the cause of life to her loving protection and placed under her motherly care the innocent
lives of children, especially those who are in danger of not being born.

Solemnidad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo
Cristo Rey: Α & Ω
Hoy es el último domingo del año litúrgico de la iglesia y celebramos la solemnidad de Nuestro
Señor Jesucristo El Rey. Concluimos el año litúrgico reconociendo a Cristo como el Rey del
Universo. Él, cuyo Reino no es de este mundo y que durara para siempre. Es el Rey que vino a
testificar la verdad como leemos en el Evangelio de hoy: " Tú dices que yo soy rey. Yo para esto
he nacido, y para esto he venido al mundo, para dar testimonio a la verdad. "(Juan 18:37).
Uno de los ritos de la Vigilia Pascual es la preparación de la vela de Pascua. El sacerdote traza
las primeras y las últimas letras griegas en la vela, una señal de que Jesús es la luz del mundo,
es el Alfa (A) y Omega (Ω); el principio y el fin de nuestra fe; el primero y el último. Jesús es el
que es, siempre constante y presente en el mundo. Él es la verdad y la vida. La verdad que es
siempre constante. En el Evangelio de hoy, Pilato estaba cara a cara con Jesús, quien sin ninguna regalía real tenía
el aura de un rey a su alrededor. Pilato quería saber si Jesús era un rey. Jesús reconoció que Él es un Rey, pero su
reino no es de este mundo y que su reino pertenece a todos los que reconocen la verdad y lo atestiguan. Jesús dijo
que él vino a testificar la verdad. De esto se trata la fiesta de hoy: testificar la verdad. La integridad es lo que el mun-
do necesita. Jesús a quien estamos llamados a seguir no estaba empeñado en ser popular sino en vivir una vida de
integridad.
Jesús es el principio y el fin. Él es también el único medio y de hecho se encuentra en todas partes todo el camino. ¿Lo
reconocemos sólo durante las fiestas especiales del año y lo descuidamos en nuestra vida diaria? ¿O lo reconocemos
incluso en esos periodos turbulentos de nuestras vidas? Para testificar la verdad, debemos experimentar la verdad
en nuestra vida cotidiana. Cuando pienso en un hombre de integridad, mi mente también se dirige a St. Thomas. Qui-
en fue un hombre fuerte que estaba dispuesto a morir para preservar su integridad. No sucumbió ante las amenazas
del rey Enrique VIII de Inglaterra, sino que se mantuvo firme en la fe de la iglesia.
El final de este año litúrgico nos lleva al comienzo de otro el próximo domingo. Al comenzar un nuevo año litúrgico el
próximo domingo, llamemos a Jesús el Rey de todos los corazones para que nos ayude a ser hombres y mujeres de
verdad e integridad durante todo el año.
Domingo de Compromiso por la Campaña: He sido testigo de un increíble entusiasmo por el caso de esta campaña
durante nuestras recepciones, y sólo quiero agradecer a todos aquellos feligreses que asistieron a una de las re-
cepciones que celebramos. Agradezco también a los que ya han hecho una promesa hacia la campaña. El próximo
domingo se designa como compromiso el domingo de nuestra campaña capital. Si no pudo asistir a ninguna de las
recepciones, le enviamos su paquete de campaña la semana pasada. Necesitamos que todos los feligreses se com-
prometan con esta campaña. No pedimos sacrificios iguales, sabiendo que todo el mundo no puede dar similares
donaciones monetarias para esta campaña. Por favor considere en oración la promesa que está haciendo para esta
campaña y hágalo esta semana. Juntos trabajamos para mejorar nuestra iglesia en casa, la Iglesia Católica de Santa
María Magdalena y la escuela. Nadie debe esperar a que otros lo hagan, cada uno de nosotros debemos hacer nues-
tras propias contribuciones para continuar construyendo sobre las bases establecidas por los que estuvieron aquí
antes que nosotros. Gracias de nuevo por su generosidad.

LAS APARICIONES Y EL MILAGRO DE LA VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE
Durante los primeros días del mes de Diciembre del año 1531, una Señora de los Cielos se le apareció a un pobre
indígena llamado Juan Diego en un cerrito del Noreste de la Ciudad de México, llamado Tepeyac. Ella se identifi-
co como la Madre de el Verdadero Dios y le mando a que fuera con el entonces Obispo de México, Reverendo Juan
de Zumarraga, para decirle que Ella quería que se le construyera un templo en su honor en ese lugar. El Obispo
escucho a Juan Diego, pero no le creyó.
Juan Diego regreso al cerrito y se encontró con la Santísima Virgen una vez mas. El le conto como el Obispo no
creyó su historia. Asimismo, le rogo que enviará a alguien de más importancia para que el obispo creyera. La
Santísima Virgen le dijo que era importante que fuera el su mensajero, y que regresara donde el obispo con su
mensaje una vez mas.
El día siguiente, Juan Diego hablo con el obispo otra vez. El obispo no le creyó. El le pidió una prueba para saber que la historia era cierta. El
Obispo mando a sus sirvientes para que siguieran a Juan Diego y vieran con quien estaba hablando. Los sirvientes lo perdieron de vista en el
camino y como resultado de su enojo le dijeron al Obispo que no confiara en Juan Diego. Mientras tanto, Juan Diego hablo una vez mas con
la Santísima Virgen. Ella le dijo que se encontrarían de nuevo la mañana siguiente, y entonces le daría una prueba para llevársela al obispo.
La mañana siguiente su tío, Juan Bernardino, se puso muy enfermo y le pidió a Juan Diego que trajera un Sacerdote. Para evitar pasar por el
cerrito, Juan Diego tomo un camino diferente. A pesar de eso, la Santísima Virgen se le apareció en ese camino y le dijo que no se preocupara
pos su tío, que el ya estaba curado. Ella le pidió a Juan Diego que subiera al cerrito, ahí encontraría la prueba que el obispo necesitaba. Cuan-
do llego a la cima el encontró una variedad de exquisitas rosas de Castilla a pleno florecer, fuera de la temporada de flores. En esa época del
año no existen ningún tipo de vegetación debido a las bajas temperaturas. El recogió las rosas en su tilma y regreso con Ella, entonces tomo
las rosas entre sus manos, las arreglo y las devolvió a la tilma de Juan Diego. El inmediatamente llevo las rosas al obispo.
Cuando Juan Diego extendio su tilma para dejarle ver las flores al obispo, la imagen de la Santísima Virgen apareció milagrosamente. El
obispo se arrodillo, y le pidió perdón a la Virgen. También prometió construir un templo tal como ella lo había pedido.
Dios te salve, María. Llena eres de gracia. El Señor es contigo, Bendita tu eres entre todas las mujeres y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre, Jesús.
Santa María, Madre de Dios, ruega por nosotros los pecadores, ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte. Amen.
