NEXT WEEK’S SECOND COLLECTION IS FOR DEBT REDUCTION SIGN-UP FOR “ADOPT-A-PLEDGE”

Last week we introduced the “Adopt-a-Pledge. program established to pay the balance of unpaid pledges made on the Community Life Cen-ter. The average amount of these pledges is $1,000. We are asking ALL parishioners to participate in the Adopt-A-Pledge Program by committing to donate a total of $1,000 over the next 12 months, allowing us to pay off the remaining balance of the pledge and loan for the Com-munity Life Center by year-end 2014.

This is an opportunity for the many new parishioners who have joined our parish since the inception of our pledge drive in 2010, to participate in it. We are very grateful for the generosity of those parishioners who completed payment of their pledge, and ask that you prayerfully consider continuing your participation for an additional $1,000.

Our Community Life Center has given all of us the opportunity to participate in the many parish celebrations, ministries and teaching pro-grams offered to us. Let’s all take ownership of our beautiful facility by joining together to pay for it.

Parish staff and member s of IHM Financial Counsel will be available after all masses next weekend to answer any questions and assist you in signing up for this program. SEGUNDA COLECTA LA SEMANA PRÓXIMA ES PARA REDUCCIÓN DE LA DEUDA INSCRIBIRSE PARA “ADOPTAR UNA OFERTA”

La semana pasada presentamos a “Adoptar una Oferta”, programa establecido para pagar el balance de ofertas que estan pendientes al Centro de Vida Comunitaria. El promedio de estas ofertas son de $1,000. Por eso estamos pidiendo a todos los feligreses a participar en el programa de “Adoptar una Oferta” comprometiéndose a donar un total de $1,000 en los próximos 12 meses, permitiéndonos pagar el saldo restante de la promesa y el préstamo para el Centro de Vida Comunitaria a finales del año 2014.

Esta es una oportunidad para los muchos feligreses nuevos que se han unido a nuestra parroquia desde el inicio de nuestra Campaña de Ofertas en el 2010, a participar en ella. Estamos muy agradecidos por la generosidad de los feligreses que han pagado sus ofertas a esta campaña, y pedirle que considere devotanmente continuar su participación por un adicional de $1,000.

Nuestro Centro de Vida Comunitaria nos ha dado a todos la oportunidad de participar en las muchas celebraciones de la parroquia, ministerios y programas de enseñanza ofrecidos a nosotros. Tomemos posesion de nuestro bello edificio y juntos ayudar a pagarlo.

Entrance Chant: To Jesus Christ, Our Sovereign King

Gloria

Gospel Acclamation

Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made; For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, (all bow) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Practicing Catholics (those at Mass each week and regular at confession) are invited to receive the Sacrament. Non practicing Catholics should go to con- fession before receiving Holy Communion. Non Catholics are welcome to come for a Blessing (cross your arms over your chest).

Refrain Page 4

Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing power and majesty, praise to the King; mountains bow down and the seas will roar at the sound of your name. I sing for joy at the work of your hands; forever I’ll love you, forever I’ll stand. Nothing compares to the promise I have in you.

Darlene Zschech, Arr. By Brian Fife; Text and music © 1993, Darlene Zschech/Hillsong Pub. (admin, by Integrity’s Hosanna! Music/ASCAP

Setting 2 (9:00 am Mass): Jubilate Servite Translation: Raise a song of gladness, peoples of the earth, Christ has come, bringing peace, joy to ev’ry heart. Alleluia, alleluia, joy to ev’ry heart!

Sending Forth: Lift High the Cross

Communion: Bread of Life from Heaven

With this Bread

1. To offer assistance when others are blind to the need, to give loving care to each other is planting God’s seed. Walking the promise and falling on mercy, believing we’ll walk with you. 2. Washing the wounds of division, we seek to ease pain. Sharing the burden of others, like God’s gentle rain. Befriending the one who is lonely and lost, believing we’ll walk with you. 3. We hold the key to our future as we share our souls, Nurturing love in a time when compassion unfolds. Dancing in joy, sharing in wonder the prayer that we sing to you.

Song of Praise: Setting 1: Shout to the Lord Verse: My Jesus, my Savior, Lord, there is none like you; all of my days I want to praise the wonders of your mighty love. My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge and strength, let ev’ry breath, all that I am, never cease to worship you.

Jesucristo, Rey del Universo

Entrada: Tu Reinarás

Gloria Estribillo: Gloria a Dios en el cielo, y en la tierra paz a los Hombres que ama el Señor Altísimo. Gloria a Dios para siempre. ¡Amén!

Estrofas:

1. Por tu inmensa gloria te alabamos, te bendecimos, te adoramos, te glorificamos, te damos gracias, Señor. (a Estrofa 2)

2. Señor Dios, Rey celestial, Dios Padre todopoderoso. Señor Hijo único, Jesucristo, Señor Dios, Cordero de Dios, tú, el Hijo del Padre. (Estribillo)

3. Tú que quitas el pecado del mundo, ten piedad de nosotros; Tú que quitas el pecado del mundo, atiende nuestra súplica; Tú que estás sentado a la derecha del Padre, ten piedad de nosotros. (a Estrofa 4)

4. Porque sólo tú eres Santo, sólo tú, Señor, sólo tú Altísimo Jesu- cristo, con el Espíritu Santo en la gloria de Dios Padre. Amén. (Estribillo)

LITURGIA DE LA PALABRA Salmo Responsorial

Qué alegría cuando me dijeron: “Vamos a la casa del Señor. Vamos a la casa del Señor.”

Aclamación del Evangelio Page 5

Credo Niceno Creo en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra, de todo lo visible y lo invisible. Creo en un solo Señor, Jesucristo, Hijo único de Dios, nacido del Padre antes de todos los siglos: Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz, Dios verdadero de Dios verdadero, engendrado, no creado, de la misma naturaleza del Padre, por quien todo fue hecho; que por nosotros, los hombres, y por nuestra salvación bajó del cielo,

Todos se inclinan: y por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarnó de María, la Virgen, y se hizo hombre; y por nuestra causa fue crucificado en tiempos de Poncio Pilato, padeció y fue sepultado, y resucitó al tercer día, según las Escrituras, y subió al cielo, y está sentado a la derecha del Padre; y de nuevo vendrá con gloria, para juzgar a vivos y muertos, y su reino no tendrá fin. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida, que procede del Padre y del Hijo, que con el Padre y el Hijo recibe una misma adoración y gloria, y que habló por los profetas. Creo en la Iglesia, que es una, santa, católica y apostólica. Confieso que hay un solo bautismo para el perdón de los pecados. Espero la resurrección de los muertos y la vida del mundo futuro. Amén.

LITURGIA EUCARÍSTICA

Preparación de las Ofrendas: Él Es Santo 1. Cristo es la imagen del Dios vivo, primogénito de toda creación. Todas las cosas fueron creadas en él, todo por él y para él.

Estribillo: Él es Santo, Padre eterno, Jesucristo, con el Espíritu Santo. Él es Santo, Padre eterno, Jesucristo, con el Espíritu Santo. 2. Todas las cosas se mantienen en él. Él es la Cabeza de su Cuerpo, la Iglesia. Él es principio, el primero resucitado de entre los muertos. (Estribillo)

Puente: Por Cristo Jesus, por su sangre derramada en la cruz. Dios establece la paz, en la tierra y en el cielo. (Estribillo)

MARY VII The Feast of Christ the King is one of my favorites of the liturgical year. It is held at the end of the Church’s calendar, late in November, the month in which we traditionally remember the Last Things —Death, Judgement, Hell and Heaven. This feast celebrates the majesty of Christ and points us towards considerations of our own eternal destiny.

It’s a daunting business, contemplating eternity. Though it lies over faith’s horizon, and though its Light shines through and across the very fabric of the cosmos, eternity is not easily conceptualized. It has been argued by theologians that rather than thinking of eternity as “time lasting forever” we should think of it as beyond time altogether. Beyond space, too. The saints whose feast starts the month of November, and with whom Jesus is delighted to share his rule (Wisdom 3:8; Rev. 20:4-6) are bound by neither time nor space, and so may be available to many people at once. So too, with the angels.

It is, of course, the same with the Blessed Mother. Catholic mystics have told us that the Blessed Mother prays for every person on earth, by name, every single day. The concept of a “day,” of course m the “land beyond time” (Heaven) is one that we can have long conversations about, but the point is that all of heaven is fighting for us, pulling for us and praying for us, before the loving king whose eternal glory we celebrate today.

In our time, the King has made known his desire that a great devotion be established to the Immaculate Heart of his Mother, the Queen of Heav-en and Earth. The reason for this devotion is the salvation of souls, again, one of our premiere considerations during the month of November. We will return to the establishment of devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary next Sunday. IHM Pray for us, Fr. Jim

MARIA VII

La fiesta de Cristo, el Rey es una de mis favoritas del año litúrgico. Toma lugar al final del calendario de la Iglesia, finales de Noviembre, el mes que nosotros tradicionalmente recordamos las Ultimas Cosas—Muerte, Juicio, Infierno y Cielo. Esta fiesta celebra la majestad de Cristo que nos señala hacia consideraciones de nuestro destino eterno.

Es un modo intimidoso de contemplar la eternidad. Aunque reposa un poco hacia el horizonte de la fe, y aunque sus luces brillan en medio y atraves de la misma tela de los cosmos, la eternidad no es simplemente una idea general. A sido un tema de discusión por los teólogos que en vez de pensar en la eternidad como “tiempo que dura para siempre” nosotros debemos pensar enteramente como mas allá del tiempo. También mas allá del espacio. Los santos, quienes se festejan al empezar el mes de Noviembre, y a los cuales Jesús esta encantado de compartir su poder (Wisdom 3:8; Rev. 20:4-6) no están atados al tiempo ni al espacio, y están enseguida disponibles a mucha gente. También así con los ángeles.

Por supuesto lo mismo es de la Santísima Madre. Los Católicos místicos nos han dicho que la Santísima Madre reza por cada persona en el mundo, por nombre, a diario. El concepto de un “día” por supuesto, en “la tierra mas allá del tiempo” (Cielo) es uno que nosotros podemos tener largas conversaciones, pero el punto es que todo el Cielo esta peleando por nosotros, estando en nuestro lado y rezando por nosotros, ante el adora-ble Rey cuya eterna gloria celebramos el día de hoy.

En nuestro tiempo, el Rey ha hecho saber su deseo que una gran devoción sea establecida al Inmaculado Corazón de su Madre, la Reina del Cielo y la Tierra. La razón por esta devoción es la salvación de las almas, otra ves una de las consideraciones primordiales durante el mes de No-viembre. Nosotros regresaremos al establecimiento de la devoción al Inmaculado Corazón de María el próximo domingo. IHM Ora por nosotros, Padre Jim

ALL SAINTS AND ANGELS CARNIVAL—THANK YOU!! The Third Annual All Saints and Angels Carnival this year was a huge success! The attendance (not including volunteers) numbered over 400. Children and adults alike had a wonderful time. A large group of volunteers helped to set-up, run and clean-up after the event. The carnival has grown in the past few years and is fast becoming known as a 'safe', non-scary and spiritual event for families to celebrate our faith as Catholics. The evening also included a little parade of 'Saints and Angels" into the Church where children are reminded of the origins of the even-ing and then receive a blessing. The chair-people would like to extend a thank you to the many ministries from IHM who donated various amounts of money to help fund this free parish event. We are also grateful for those parishioners who purchased one of our famous Root Beer Floats during the summer months to help raise money for this event. Truly by all joining together, we have created an event for entire families to celebrate their faith and yes, even evangelize and welcome those who may not be weekly church attendees. Because planning begins in the spring for this event, we encourage all to become part of this fun and faith-filled event! Please call Jill Wright at 420-6865 or Julie Figueroa at 513-8155 if you are interested. We would be happy to add you to our list of volunteers for next year. We are certain that all volunteers will receive heavenly rewards - and of course a free hot dog! All Saints and Angels - pray for us!
