Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe November 25, 2018

Jesus Christ is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth. — Revelation 1:5


Message from Father Pergjini: Since the second century the four gospels have been interpreted in four forms or as is generally called in Greek tetramorph. The face of a man is for the gospel of Saint Mathew because he starts his Gospel with human genealogy of Christ. The lion represents the gospel of Saint Mark because his gospel begins in the desert. The bull represents Saint Luke whose Gospel begins with Zachariah's sacrifice in the Temple. And the eagle represents Saint John because his prologue reaches breathtaking heights. The fathers of the church have interpreted the four living creatures the perfect allegory of the mystery of Christ. The figure of Man stands very well for the incarnation, Messiah, Christ our Savior. The lion represents the temptations of Christ in the desert, Christ the King of the universe triumphant against the Satan. The bull leads us to see the immolation of Christ in the cross. And finally, the eagle points toward Christ resurrection and his ascension into heaven. This Sunday November 25th is the last Sunday of ordinary time, the last Sunday of the liturgical year. Our Church ends its liturgical year with the solemnity of Christ the King of the Universe. On December 11, 1925 Pope Pius XI issued his encyclical letter Quas primas. This document meant to remind the faithful that the most powerful weapon against the destructive forces of the age is to

acknowledge the kingship of Christ. He said, “The church documents are read only by few learned men and women while the celebrations of the feasts during the liturgical year moves and teach all the faithful, every year and forever. A document brings saving touch and joy to the human intellect, but the celebration of the liturgical feasts influence not only the mind but the heart and soul and the whole nature of men and women.” Yes indeed, the celebration of the solemnity of the Christ the King of the universe touches our lives and the life of the universe. The solemnity of Christ the King of the Universe reminds to all of us our goal and our glory is to follow Christ the King, to trust and abandon ourselves into the hands of Christ who saves our broken souls. The

famous and well-known words from the letter to the Hebrews 13:8: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” The Gospel of Saint John on this solemnity of Christ the King starts with a question to Pontius Pilate: “Are you the King of the Jews?” And Christ answers that question that his kingdom does not belong to this world, he came to testify to the truth and everyone who testify to the Truth listen to my voice. Yes indeed, we are people who unite our voices praising and glorifying the Almighty Father every single Sunday in the most powerful sacrifice on earth, the Holy Mass, by proclaiming Christ the King of the Universe and willing to listen to His voice, to His Eternal Truth. For all of us who believe in the power of Christ who is the same voice yesterday, today and forever speaking His Divine and eternal truth. The beautiful preface of the Mass reminds all of us Christ our King who at the end of time will present to His Father the Eternal and universal kingdom of truth and life, a kingdom of holiness and grace, a kingdom of justice, love and peace. The four living creatures that the four evangelists provide for us powerfully proclaim Christ, the King of the universe in power and majesty in Eternal Kingdom. We beg Christ's Mercy place our hope and our destiny before Christ the King of the Universe. May we take refuge in the words of the final prayer after Holy Communion of the Holy Mass of Christ the King of the Universe: Having received the food of immortality we ask, O Lord, that, glorifying in obedience to the commands of Christ, the King of the universe, we may live with him eternally in his heavenly Kingdom. Who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen!


Mensaje del Padre Pergjini: Desde el siglo II, los cuatro evangelios se han interpretado en cuatro formas o como se suele llamar en griego tetramorfo. El rostro de un hombre es para el evangelio de San Mateo porque él comienza su Evangelio con la genealogía humana de Cristo. El león representa el evangelio de San Marcos porque su evangelio comienza en el desierto. El toro representa a San Lucas, cuyo Evangelio comienza con el sacrificio de Zacarías en el Templo. Y el águila representa a San Juan porque su prólogo alcanza alturas impresionantes. Los padres de la iglesia han interpretado a las cuatro criaturas vivientes como la perfecta alegoría del misterio de Cristo. La figura del hombre es muy buena para la encarnación, el Mesías, Cristo nuestro Salvador. El león representa las tentaciones de Cristo en el desierto, Cristo, el Rey del universo triunfante contra Satanás. El toro nos lleva a ver la inmolación de Cristo en la cruz. Y finalmente, el águila apunta hacia la resurrección de Cristo y su ascensión al cielo. Este domingo 25 de noviembre es el último domingo del tiempo ordinario, el último domingo del año litúrgico. Nuestra Iglesia concluye su año litúrgico con la solemnidad de Cristo Rey del Universo. El 11 de diciembre de 1925 el papa Pío XI emitió su encíclica carta Quas primas. Este documento pretende recordar a los fieles que el arma más poderosa contra las fuerzas destructivas de la era es reconocer el reinado de Cristo.

Él dijo: “Los documentos de la iglesia son leídos solo por unos pocos hombres y mujeres eruditos, mientras que las celebraciones de las fiestas durante el año litúrgico conmueven y enseñan a todos los fieles, todos los años y para siempre. Un documento trae un toque de salvación y alegría al intelecto humano, pero la celebración de las fiestas litúrgicas influye no solo en la mente, sino también en el corazón y el alma y en toda la naturaleza de los hombres y mujeres.” Sí, la celebración de la solemnidad de Cristo. El Rey del universo toca nuestras vidas y la vida del universo. La solemnidad de Cristo Rey del Universo nos recuerda a todos que nuestra meta y nuestra gloria es seguir a Cristo Rey, confiar y abandonarnos en las manos de Cristo que salva nuestras almas quebrantadas. Las famosas y conocidas palabras de la carta a Hebreos 13: 8:

“Jesucristo es el mismo ayer, hoy y siempre.” El Evangelio de San Juan en esta solemnidad de Cristo Rey comienza con una pregunta a Poncio Pilato: “¿Eres el Rey de los judíos?” Y Cristo responde a la pregunta de que su reino no pertenece a este mundo, que vino a testificar de la verdad y que todos los que testifican de la Verdad escuchan mi voz. Sí, de hecho, somos personas que unen nuestras voces alabando y glorificando al Padre Todopoderoso todos los domingos en el sacrificio más poderoso de la tierra, la Santa Misa, al anunciar a Cristo, el Rey del Universo y estar dispuestos a escuchar su voz, a su Eterno. Verdad. Para todos los que creemos en el poder de Cristo, que es la misma voz ayer, hoy y siempre hablando Su divina y eterna verdad. El hermoso prefacio de la misa nos recuerda a todos nosotros, Cristo nuestro Rey, que al final de los tiempos presentará a su Padre el Reino Eterno y universal de la verdad y la vida, un reino de santidad y gracia, un reino de justicia, amor y paz. Las cuatro criaturas vivientes que los cuatro evangelistas nos proveen proclaman poderosamente a Cristo, el Rey del universo en poder y majestad en el Reino Eterno. Pedimos a la Misericordia de Cristo que coloque nuestra esperanza y nuestro destino ante Cristo, el Rey del Universo. Que podamos refugiarnos en las palabras de la oración final después de la Santa Comunión de la Santa Misa de Cristo Rey del Universo: Habiendo recibido el alimento de la inmortalidad, pedimos, Señor, que, glorificando en obediencia a los mandatos de Cristo, Rey del universo, podemos vivir con él eternamente en su Reino celestial. Quien vive y reina por los siglos de los siglos. ¡Amén!
