T he Apocalypse, or Revelation to John, the last book of the Bible, is one of the most difficult to understand because it abounds in unfamiliar and extravagant symbolism, which at best appears unusual to the modern reader. Symbolic language, however, is one of the chief char-

acteristics of apocalyptic literature, of which this book is an outstanding ex-ample. Such literature enjoyed wide popularity in both Jewish and Christian circles from ca. 200 B.C. to A.D. 200. This book contains an account of visions in symbolic and allegorical lan-guage borrowed extensively from the Old Testament, especially Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Daniel. Whether or not these visions were real experiences of the author or simply literary conventions employed by him is an open ques-tion. This much, however, is certain: symbolic descriptions are not to be taken as literal descriptions, nor is the symbolism meant to be pictured realistically. One would find it difficult and repulsive to visualize a lamb with seven horns and seven eyes; yet Jesus Christ is described in precisely such words (Rev 5:6). The author used these images to suggest Christ’s universal (seven) power (horns) and knowledge (eyes). A significant feature of apocalyptic writing is the use of symbolic colors, met-als, garments (Rev 1:13–16; 3:18; 4:4; 6:1–8; 17:4; 19:8), and numbers (four sig-nifies the world, six imperfection, seven totality or perfection, twelve Israel’s tribes or the apostles, one thousand immensity). Finally the vindictive lan-guage in the book (Rev 6:9–10; 18:1–19:4) is also to be understood symboli-cally and not literally. The cries for vengeance on the lips of Christian martyrs that sound so harsh are in fact literary devices the author employed to evoke in the reader and hearer a feeling of horror for apostasy and rebellion that will be severely punished by God. The lurid descriptions of the punishment of Jezebel (Rev 2:22) and of the de-struction of the great harlot, Babylon (Rev 16:9–19:2), are likewise literary devices. The metaphor of Babylon as harlot would be wrongly construed if inter-preted literally. On the other hand, the stylized figure of the woman clothed with the sun (Rev 12:1–6), depicting the New Israel, may seem to be a nega-tive stereotype. It is necessary to look beyond the literal meaning to see that these images mean to convey a sense of God’s wrath at sin in the former case and trust in God’s providential care over the church in the latter.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord: In the Gospel of the Mass this Sunday, we are given a glimpse into the end of the world. The Church always turns Her attention to this theme as the liturgical year comes to a close. As you know, the Church year concludes with next Sun-day’s Solemnity of Christ the King. So today, our attention is directed to the fu-ture, when the King of glory will return in majesty and bring His kingdom on earth to completion. We shouldn’t waste time trying to predict when the world will end. Many of the first Christians expected Christ’s return in their own lifetime. More recently, some falsely claimed that the year 2,000 would be the chosen time for Christ’s second coming. They were obviously mistaken. Three truths concerning this event are essential: 1. It will take place. Jesus speaks clearly about the fact and nature of His sec-

ond coming. His words are not metaphor. Today’s Gospel contains Christ’s prophecy of the signs that will precede his glorious return. When the ap-pointed time arrives, “they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory” (Luke 21:27).

2. The time is unknown. Jesus Himself says, “of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father on-ly” (Matthew 24:36). This saying simply indicates that it is not part of Christ’s earthly mission to reveal the time of His return.

3. We must be prepared. The end of the world for us will be the day that God calls us from this life. Be prepared, Christ tells us, for “you know neither the day nor the hour” (Matthew 25:13).

In a certain sense, Christ “returns” to earth every time that one of His disciples lives and loves as Jesus did. There is no better way to prepare for Christ’s return than to live a life that is faithful to the Gospel. Through the sacraments – espe-cially the Holy Eucharist and Confession – we are offered all the spiritual help we need in order to be prepared with the Lord returns. Let us take advantage of these gifts. As we anticipate the coming of the Lord, our task includes the active proclama-tion and sharing of the Gospel. To that end, each parish of the Archdiocese is asked to receive a missionary priest each year. This weekend, Fr. Patrick Keyes, C.Ss.R. will visit our parish and will give the homily at all the Masses. As a mem-ber of the Passionist Order of priests, Fr. Keyes will share how his community brings Christ to others through parish missions, retreats, and other works of evan-gelization. A special offering will be taken in support of the works of the Passionist order. You may make a contribution by cash or check, the latter being made out to the parish. We will forward all of the collected funds to the Passionist communi-ty. Sincerely Yours in Christ,

Charismatic Prayer Group November Schedule

“In all circumstances give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.” (1 Th. 5:18)

While November may be known as “Thanksgiving” month, the Scripture selections for the November Mass readings remind us to not only be always thankful for our blessings, but how trusting in God’s love helps us look past the ad-verse times this life can bring to see the beautiful place He has prepared for us with Him in Heaven. If you are looking for more ways to connect your life with your faith, please join us on Friday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. in the Family Life Center Prayer Room for lively praise music, prayer, worship, and sharing God’s Word. Fellowship and light refreshments follow.

November 18: “Have you no fear of God?”

November 25: No Meeting (Happy Thanksgiving)

Commuter Mass For several years now, the priests of Regina Caeli Parish have offered a weekday morning Mass in Latin at 6:30 a.m. From now on, the 6:30 a.m. Mass will be in English and will be offered by the priests of our parish. Why not start your day by meeting the Lord in His holy Word and in the Holy Eucharist? Mass will end by 7:00 a.m. R.C.I.A. The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is for people who are thinking about the possibility of becoming Catho-lic. It is for people who have not been baptized, people of other faiths or people who have been baptized Catholic but did not complete the sacraments of Initiation. This is a beautiful process, with no pressure to commit to our faith community, in which interested persons slowly explore the beliefs of the Catholic Church and discern, over a period of many months, if they desire to become Catholic. If you are interested, or have a relative, friend or co-worker who has expressed this interest, please call: Nadia Jara: 281- 463-7878 ext. 337 or at [email protected] Offertory Counters Do you want to share your time and talents? We are searching for individuals who would like to count money for two hours once a month on Sunday. You may choose from three different time slots on Sunday mornings or per-haps you can help on Monday or Thursday mornings. If you are able to volunteer, please call Marie Sharp at 281-463-7878 ext. 380 for more details.

Proceso de preparación para la celebración de los sacra-mentos del Bautismo, Primera Eucaristía y Confirmación para Adultos. ¿Está pensando en la preparación sacra-mental de Adultos? RICA, Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para Adultos, es un pro-ceso de discernimiento y preparación para las personas interesadas en aprender más sobre la Iglesia Católica, Para aquellos que nunca han sido bautizados, o han sido bautizados en otras denominaciones, o que han sido bautizados en la Iglesia Católica pero no han recibido los sacramentos de iniciación (Eucaristía y Confirmación). Este es un bellísimo proceso sin ningún compromiso a tra-vés del cual se explora lentamente las enseñanzas de la Iglesia Católica y se discierne por varios meses el deseo de hacerse católico.

Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas en el Señor: En el Evangelio de la Misa de este Domingo, se nos da una visión del fin del mundo. La Iglesia siempre vuelve su atención a este tema a medida que el año litúrgico llega a su fin. Como ustedes saben, el año de la Iglesia concluye con la solemnidad de Cristo Rey el próximo Domingo. Así que hoy, nuestra atención está dirigida hacia el futuro, cuando el Rey de la gloria regresará en majestad y llevará Su reino sobre la tierra a la plenitud. No debemos perder el tiempo tratando de predecir cuándo terminará el mundo. Muchos de los primeros cristianos esperaban el regreso de Cristo en su propia vida. Más recientemente, algunos afirmaron falsamen-te que el año 2.000 sería el tiempo elegido para la se-gunda venida de Cristo. Obviamente estaban equivo-cados. Tres verdades sobre este acontecimiento son esencia-les: 1. Se llevará a cabo. Jesús habla claramente sobre el hecho y la naturaleza de Su segunda venida. Sus pala-bras no son metáforas. El Evangelio de hoy contiene la profecía de Cristo de los signos que precederán a su regreso glorioso. Cuando llegue el tiempo señalado, "verán al Hijo del hombre venir en una nube con poder y gran gloria" (Lucas 21:27). 2. El tiempo es desconocido. Jesús mismo dice, "de aquel día y hora nadie sabe, ni siquiera los ángeles del cielo, ni el Hijo, sino el Padre solamente" (Mateo 24:36). Este dicho simplemente indica que no es parte de la misión terrenal de Cristo revelar el tiempo de Su regre-so. 3. Debemos estar preparados. El fin del mundo para nosotros será el día que Dios nos llama de esta vida. Prepárense, nos dice Cristo, porque "no sabéis ni el día ni la hora" (Mateo 25:13). En cierto sentido, Cristo "regresa" a la tierra cada vez que uno de Sus discípulos vive y ama como Jesús lo hizo. No hay mejor manera de prepararse para el re-greso de Cristo que vivir una vida fiel al Evangelio. A través de los sacramentos, especialmente la Santa Eu-caristía y la Confesión, se nos ofrece toda la ayuda es-piritual que necesitamos para estar preparados con el regreso del Señor. Aprovechémonos de estos regalos. A medida que anticipamos la venida del Señor, nuestra tarea incluye la proclamación activa y el compartir del Evangelio. Para ello se pide a cada parroquia de la

Anh chị em thân mến trong Chúa: Phúc Âm của Thánh Lễ Chúa Nhật này, chúng ta có được một cái nhìn thoáng qua về ngày tận thế. Giáo Hội luôn hướng sự chú ý đến chủ đề này khi năm phụng vụ kết thúc. Như bạn đã biết, niên lịch Giáo hội kết thúc trọng thể với Lễ Chúa Kitô Vua vào Chúa nhật tới. Vì vậy, ngày hôm nay, sự chú ý của chúng ta là hướng đến tương lai, khi Vua vinh hiển sẽ trở lại trong uy nghi và mang vương quốc của Ngài trên trần thế đến hoàn tất. Chúng ta đừng lãng phí thời gian để cố gắng dự đoán khi nào sẽ tận thế. Nhiều người trong số các Kitô hữu đầu tiên dự kiến Chúa Kitô sẽ trở lại trong cuộc đời của họ. Gần đây, một số sai lầm cho rằng năm 2000 sẽ là thời điểm lựa chọn cho Chúa Kitô đến lần thứ hai. Họ rõ ràng là sai lầm. Ba sự thật liên quan đến sự kiện này rất là quan trọng: 1. Nó sẽ xẩy ra. Chúa Giêsu nói rõ về sự kiện và tính chất

của việc Ngài đến lần thứ hai. Lời nói của Ngài không phải là điều bí ẩn. Tin Mừng hôm nay chứa đựng lời tiên báo về các dấu hiệu sẽ xẩy ra trước khi Ngài trở lại trong vinh quang. Khi thời gian đã đến, "họ sẽ thấy Con Người đến trong đám mây với uy quyền và vinh quang" (Lc 21:27).

2. Thời gian vẫn chưa rõ. Chính Chúa Giêsu nói rằng: "Về ngày và giờ không ai biết, ngay cả các thiên thần trên trời hay là Con Người, nhưng chỉ mình Chúa Cha biết" (Mt 24:36). Câu nói này đơn giản chỉ ra rằng nó không phải là một phần nhiệm vụ trần thế của Chúa Kitô để lộ thời điểm trở lại của Ngài.

3. Chúng ta phải chuẩn bị sẵn sàng. Tận thế đối với chúng ta sẽ là ngày mà Thiên Chúa gọi chúng ta về từ cuộc sống này. Hãy chuẩn bị sẵn sàng, Chúa Kitô nói với chúng ta, vì "bạn không biết ngày, giờ Ngài đến" (Mt 25:13).

Trong một ý nghĩa nào đó, Chúa Kitô "trở lại" thế gian mỗi khi một trong các môn đệ của Ngài sống và yêu thương như Chúa Giêsu đã làm. Không có cách nào tốt hơn để chuẩn bị cho sự trở lại của Chúa Kitô hơn là phải sống một cuộc sống trung thành với Tin Mừng. Qua các bí tích - đặc biệt là Bí Tích Thánh Thể và Hòa Giải - chúng ta đang được cung cấp tất cả sự giúp đỡ tinh thần mà chúng ta cần để chuẩn bị cho ngày Chúa quang lâm. Chúng ta hãy tận dụng lợi ích của những dịch vụ này. Trong khi chúng ta chờ đợi sự trở lại của Chúa, công việc của chúng ta bao gồm việc tích cực công bố và chia sẻ Tin Mừng. Với điều này, mỗi giáo xứ của Tổng Giáo phận được yêu cầu nhận một linh mục truyền giáo mỗi năm. Cuối tuần tới, Cha Patrick Keyes, C.Ss.R. sẽ đến thăm giáo xứ của chúng ta và sẽ giảng ở tất cả các Thánh Lễ. Là một thành viên của các linh mục Dòng Chúa Cứu Thế, cha Keyes sẽ chia sẻ sứ vụ như thế nào dòng của ngài mang Chúa cho người khác thông qua các xứ vụ, tĩnh tâm, và các sinh hoạt khác của việc Phúc Âm hóa. Sẽ có quyên tiền đặc biệt trong dịp này nhằm hỗ trợ các công việc của nhà dòng Chúa Cứu Thế. Bạn có thể đóng góp bằng tiền mặt hoặc ngân phiếu, ngân phiêu viết cho giáo xứ. Chúng tôi sẽ chuyển tất cả số tiền thu được đến hội dòng Chúa Cứu Thế.. Thân ái trong Chúa Kitô, Fr. Stephen B. Reynolds

Continued from page 2... The Book of Revelation cannot be adequately understood except against the historical background that occasioned its writing. Like Daniel and other apoca-lypses, it was composed as resistance literature to meet a crisis. The book itself suggests that the crisis was ruthless persecution of the early church by the Ro-man authorities; the harlot Babylon symbolizes pagan Rome, the city on seven hills (Rev 17:9). The book is, then, an exhortation and admonition to Christians of the first century to stand firm in the faith and to avoid compromise with paganism, despite the threat of adversity and martyrdom; they are to await patiently the fulfillment of God’s mighty promises. The triumph of God in the world of men and women remains a mystery, to be accepted in faith and longed for in hope. It is a tri-umph that unfolded in the history of Jesus of Nazareth and continues to unfold in the history of the individual Christian who follows the way of the cross, even, if necessary, to a martyr’s death. Though the perspective is eschatological—ultimate salvation and victory are said to take place at the end of the present age when Christ will come in glory at the parousia—the book presents the decisive struggle of Christ and his follow-ers against Satan and his cohorts as already over. Christ’s overwhelming defeat of the kingdom of Satan ushered in the everlasting reign of God (Rev 11:15; 12:10). Even the forces of evil unwittingly carry out the divine plan (Rev 17:17), for God is the sovereign Lord of history. The Book of Revelation had its origin in a time of crisis, but it remains valid and meaningful for Christians of all time. In the face of apparently insuperable evil, either from within or from without, all Christians are called to trust in Jesus’ prom-ise, “Behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age” (Mt 28:20). Those who remain steadfast in their faith and confidence in the risen Lord need have no fear. Suffering, persecution, even death by martyrdom, though remaining impenetra-ble mysteries of evil, do not comprise an absurd dead end. No matter what ad-versity or sacrifice Christians may endure, they will in the end triumph over Satan and his forces because of their fidelity to Christ the victor. This is the enduring message of the book; it is a message of hope and consolation and challenge for all who dare to believe. The author of the book calls himself John (Rev 1:1, 4, 9; 22:8), who because of his Christian faith has been exiled to the rocky island of Patmos, a Roman penal colony. Although he never claims to be John the apostle, whose name is at-tached to the fourth gospel, he was so identified by several of the early church Fathers, including Justin, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Cyprian, and Hippolytus. This identification, however, was denied by other Fathers, in-cluding Denis of Alexandria, Eusebius of Caesarea, Cyril of Jerusalem, Gregory Nazianzen, and John Chrysostom. Indeed, vocabulary, grammar, and style make it doubtful that the book could have been put into its present form by the same person(s) responsible for the fourth gospel. Nevertheless, there are definite linguistic and theological affinities between the two books. The tone of the let-ters to the seven churches (Rev 1:4–3:22) is indicative of the great authority the author enjoyed over the Christian communities in Asia. It is possible, therefore, that he was a disciple of John the apostle, who is traditionally associated with that part of the world. The date of the book in its present form is probably near the end of the reign of Domitian (A.D. 81–96), a fierce persecutor of the Chris-tians.

Thanksgiving After Mass St. Thomas Aquinas Lord, Father all-powerful and ever-living God, I thank You, for even though I am a sinner, your unprofitable servant, not because of my worth but in the kindness of your mer-cy, You have fed me with the Precious Body & Blood of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

I pray that this Holy Communion may not bring me condemnation and punishment but forgiveness and salva-tion. May it be a helmet of faith and a shield of good will. May it purify me from evil ways and put an end to my evil passions. May it bring me charity and patience, humility and obedience, and growth in the power to do good.

May it be my strong defense against all my enemies, visible and invisible, and the perfect calming of all my evil impuls-es, bodily and spiritual. May it unite me more closely to you, the One true God, and lead me safely through death to everlasting happiness with You.

And I pray that You will lead me, a sinner, to the banquet where you, with Your Son and holy Spirit, are true and per-fect light, total fulfillment, everlasting joy, gladness without end, and perfect happiness to your saints. grant this through Christ our Lord, AMEN.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church 6646 Addicks-Satsuma Road Houston, Texas 77084-1520

St. Elizabeth of Hungary November 17 St. Elizabeth was born in Hungary in 1207, the daughter of Alexander II, King of Hungary. At the age of four she was sent for education to the court of the Land-grave of Thuringia, to whose infant son she was betrothed. As she grew in age, her piety also increased by leaps and bounds. In 1221, she married Louis of Thuringia and in spite of her position at court began to lead an austerely sim-ple life, practiced penance, and devoted herself to works of charity. Her husband was himself much inclined to religion and highly esteemed her vir-tue, encouraging her in her exemplary life. They had three children when trage-dy struck - Louis was killed while fighting with the Crusaders. After his death, Elizabeth left the court, made arrangements for the care of her children, and in 1228, renounced the world, becoming a tertiary of St. Francis. She built the Franciscan hospital at Marburg and devoted herself to the care of the sick until her death at the age of 24 in 1231. St. Elizabeth is the patron saint of bakers, countesses, death of children, falsely accused, the homeless, nursing services, tertiaries, widows, and young brides.
