OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,

KING OF THE UNIVERSE

25TH NOVEMBER 2018

Vol. 42 No.51

Gospel Reading John 18:33b-37 Jesus is questioned by Pilate about the charge brought against him that he is “King of the Jews.” Understanding today’s feast of Christ the King may be particularly challenging. While most of us do not have direct experience with kings or royalty, we have a sense of who they are. We know that royalty have sovereignty over their kingdoms. We know that those who are subjects to royalty offer them allegiance and honour. To understand how Christ is our king, we extend and magnify what we know to be true of the best of human royalty. Christ’s kingship extends to all places, all people, and all times. Christ manifests his kingship through his death on the cross in which he offered salvation to everyone. Those who can see with eyes of faith recognize Jesus to be our heavenly king. As you gather as a family, recall that this Sunday is the last Sunday in the Church year and on this Sunday we celebrate the feast of Christ the King. Talk together about what it means to be a king or queen. How do those who are subjects behave toward royalty? Invite children to role-play what one does in the presence of royalty. Read today’s Gospel, John 18:33b-37. Ask your family to discuss these questions: Does Pilate treat Jesus like royalty? (No.) What does Jesus say about his kingdom? (It is not of this world.) Talk about how your family shows honor and obedience to Christ our King. Pray together the Lord’s Prayer and ask God to help your family act in ways that show you recognize and honour Christ as King. On the 2nd December, Parish feast day & Christmas Fair, parish/school parking will be close and will not be available due to the rides. Sorry for the inconvenience. We thank………………. � My Yen Tran for donating flowers to the church

this weekend � Paul & Gloria for organizing the blessing of the

children baptized in our Parish.

We acknowledge the Dharuk People, traditional custodians of this land. May we walk gently and respectfully upon the land.

For those who have already submitted their training certificate, signed and returned the forms, thank you.

From the Liturgy Office….

During November, our parish will be offering various

opportunities where you can pray for our dearly de-

parted in a special way. These include the Book of Life,

which will be displayed in the foyer of the Church. This

book contains the names of all the deceased whose

family members have made an offering towards the

November Mass Intentions.

Remember that our deceased loved ones are waiting

for our petitions and prayers. Therefore, I urge you to

avail yourselves to these such occasions. Eternal rest

grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon

them, may they rest in peace….God bless, Rita Cordina
