From the Pastor’s Desk… The King of hearts Jesus Christ is Our
Lord! "To Him was given all power, honor and the Kingdom". We
believe that He is the incarnate
Son of God in Jesus of Nazareth; He is a brother that has been
glorified; He is the Word of God who has saved us; He is the One
who died and that Resurrected.
Today we close the liturgical year, and the Church invites us to
concentrate all our mind and our heart in the One, who is the
center of our faith, the principle and the end of all, Jesus Christ
–Our Lord. Today we want to proclaim Jesus as our King, as that
personage who condenses in Himself all the aspirations of all
humanity.
In our Christian life, Christ the King exercises His dominion:
over our intelligence -through our faith, over our heart - through
His love, over our will and our life - in submission to his Will.
He is the Alpha and the Omega of everything that we think, of
everything that we love and of all that we are.
I am the Truth and the life!, says Jesus. We know that the Truth
will set us free. Yet how difficult it is to live this truth as a
creature, in faith, and as an apostle! What is the truth? A sincere
desire to be instructed? Is it indifference, skepticism, irony?
Jesus, the Witness to the Truth, stands before the tribunal court
of the world. He is frequently the One that we judge. So what is
the truth in our Christian life? We should not fear the truth of
what we really are. This truth touched Peter's conscience one day
and he told Jesus: "Set Yourself apart from me, Lord, for I am a
sinful man". We should not be afraid.
We are called to be witnesses of the Truth, to be a brightness
in humanity for Jesus. The Truth, that is God, shines for all of
us, although many will stay seated, dazzled by so much clarity, for
they prefer to close their eyes to their com-fort. Today we
celebrate the Feast of Christ the King in humility and in
simplicity; we celebrate it in the silence of a generous love,
completely given over to the service of humanity. Our King comes
from Heaven: He is the triumph of love over hatred, of humility
over pride, of brotherly service over false attachments.
The Christian should be ardently in love with the Kingdom.
Impassioned in the fight to show mankind how to live with truth and
a full life, with more holiness and grace, with more justice, love
and peace. "God does not give us impossible tasks, but, upon giving
us what He gives, He invites us to do what we are able to do, then
He asks us to do what we are not able to do and He helps us to be
able to do so", as is well stated by St. Augustine. God bless you,
Fr. Oscar

Del escritorio del señor Cura… Nuestro Rey de corazones
Jesucristo es el Señor. “A Él se le dio poder, honor y reino”.
Creemos en Él como Hijo de Dios que se ha encar-
nado en Jesús de Nazareth; como hermano que ha sido glorificado;
como Palabra de Dios que nos ha salvado; como muerto que ha
resucitado. Cristo es el Rey que está al servicio de la verdad.
¿Qué es la verdad? preguntó Pilato y sigue preguntando el hombre de
hoy. Ha venido a este mundo para ser “testigo de la verdad”.
Hoy cerramos el año litúrgico, y la Iglesia nos invita a
concentrar toda nuestra mente y nuestro corazón en quien es el
centro de nuestra fe, el principio y el fin de la misma, Jesucristo
el Señor. Hoy queremos proclamar a Jesucristo co-mo Rey, como aquel
personaje que condensa en sí todas las aspiraciones de la
humanidad.
En nuestra vida cristiana, Cristo Rey ejerce su dominio: sobre
nuestra inteligencia por medio de la fe, sobre nues-tro corazón por
medio del amor, sobre nuestra voluntad y sobre nuestra vida por la
sumisión a su Voluntad. Es el alfa y la omega de todo lo que
pensamos, de todo lo que amamos y de aquello que somos. Una
pregunta surca la historia de la humanidad: ¿Quién soy para ti?
¡Yo soy la Verdad y la vida! Dice Jesús. Sabemos que la Verdad
nos hará libres. ¡Pero qué difícil es vivir la propia verdad como
criatura, creyente y apóstol! ¿Qué es la verdad? ¿Un deseo sincero
de instruirse? ¿Es indiferencia, escepti-cismo, ironía? Jesús,
testigo de la Verdad está ante el tribunal del mundo. Es frecuente
que juzguemos a Jesús. ¿Qué es la verdad en nuestra vida de
cristianos? No debemos temer a la verdad de nosotros mismos. Pedro
tuvo conciencia de ella un día y dijo a Jesús: “Apártate de mí,
Señor, que soy un hombre pecador”. No debemos tener miedo.
Estamos llamados a ser testigos de la Verdad, una especie de
resplandor de Jesús. La Verdad, que es Dios, bri-lla para todos,
aunque muchos se sientan ofuscados por tanta claridad y prefieren
cerrar los ojos por comodidad. Cele-bremos hoy la fiesta de Cristo
rey en la humildad y en la sencillez; celebrémosla en el silencio
de un amor generoso, to-talmente volcados al servicio de la
humanidad. Nuestro rey viene del cielo: Es el triunfo del amor
sobre el odio, de la hu-mildad sobre el orgullo, del servicio
fraterno sobre el amor.
El cristiano debe ser un apasionado del Reino. Apasionado en la
lucha por conseguir que el hombre viva con más verdad y vida, más
santidad y gracia, más justicia, amor y paz. “Dios no manda cosas
imposibles, sino que, al mandar lo que manda, te invita a hacer lo
que puedas y pedir lo que no puedas y te ayuda para que puedas”,
como bien dice San Agustín. Dios les bendiga, P. Oscar
