St. Clare Parish 19606 Calla Way • Santa Clarita, CA 91351 REV. OLIN MAYFIELD, PASTOR Rev. Malcolm Ambrose, Associate November 20, 2016 KINGSHIP The book of Samuel recounts for us today the anointing of David as king of Israel. It was the elders of Israel who declared David king that day, but it was God who called David to shepherd Israel. Thus mandated by the citizens of his kingdom and by his God, David took his place in a long line of kings. The apostle Paul speaks to us of kingship as well, but on a much higher plane: the kingship of Jesus our Lord. As great as David was, he and all earthly monarchs who came before and after him in their kingdoms around the world are minor kings by comparison to the true King. And lastly, we hear the story of that true King in perhaps his weakest moment: near death, hanging on a cross, taunted by a common criminal and by the world at large. Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe REINADO El libro de Samuel nos relata la unción de David como rey de Israel. Fueron los ancianos de Israel quienes declararon a David como rey ese día, pero fue Dios quien llamó a David para que pastoreara a Israel. Mandado así por los ciudadanos de su reino y por el Señor, David ocupó su lugar en un largo linaje de reyes. El apóstol Pablo también nos habla de realeza, pero en un plano muy superior: la realeza de Jesús nuestro Señor. Tan grande como fue David, él y todos los reyes terrenales anteriores y posteriores, en sus reinos, son reyes menores en comparación con el verdadero Rey. Finalmente, escuchamos el relato del verdadero Rey en, tal vez, su momento más débil: cerca de la muerte, colgando en una cruz, insultado por un criminal común y por el mundo en su totalidad.

Once again we need your help in gathering food for Christmas dinners. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, there are often sale prices on frozen turkeys and canned hams. If you are able to pick up an extra turkey or a canned ham, we would greatly appreciate it. You may drop them off Monday through Friday from 8:00AM to 4:00PM to the portable freezer outside the kitchen hall or after weekend Masses. We will also be collecting other food items including canned vegetables (green beans, beans, corn, peas, other), canned fruits (any – peaches, pears, fruit cocktail, applesauce, etc.), canned yams, and baby food. We will be supplementing this assortment with some purchased items. The idea is to provide food for a Christmas meal. We don’t want to discourage other food donations – as anything that doesn’t go towards the Christmas baskets will be donated to the Food Pantry. Cash donations are always welcome. There will be one food drive taking place on Thanksgiving Day and another on December 3rd and 4th.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En la frontera entre México y El Paso en Texas en los Estados Unidos hay una grandísima imagen de Cristo Rey con sus brazos extendidos en bienvenida y sobre una cruz. En el continente Americano encontramos imágenes de Cristo en las montañas como Cristo Redentor en Brasil, o Cristo de los Andes, entre Chile y Argentina, o el Cristo Rey en Colombia; todos observando calladamente pesares y progresos de sus pueblos y naciones. En toda Latinoamérica se grita esperanzadamente “Viva Cristo Rey”. La Iglesia universal honra a Cristo con el título de Rey solo desde 1925, pero siempre tuvo la certeza que el pobre Jesús de Nazaret es nuestro Maestro y Señor y, contra él no pueden las fuerzas del mal ni la injusticia. Terminando el Año Litúrgico, es justo y necesario recordar y festejar que Jesús reina para siempre. En Latinoamérica y en todas partes donde la injusticia parece dominar, Cristo Rey es continuo recuerdo de la promesa divina; de la esperanza de un mundo mejor no allá en el cielo sino aquí en la tierra renovada. Por eso terminemos el año litúrgico gritando “Viva Cristo Rey”. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright, © J. S. Paluch Co.

Amen ************************************************************************************************* TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Among the Catholics seeking religious freedom in America were the Carrolls of Maryland, who arrived in 1649 from Ireland via England. Charles Carroll, born in Annapolis in 1737, was the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence, and was the longest-surviving signer. As was the custom for English Catholics, he attended English schools in Belgium and later university in France. By the time he signed the Declaration, he was the richest man in America, and his decision to sign would hardly go unnoticed by the king. Because Carroll was so wealthy and because he was a Catholic, he had more to lose than the others. Those who signed became traitors to the Crown and risked losing everything. It is said that someone grumbled that there were many men in the world named Charles Carroll, and he could dodge responsibility if he had to. For that reason, he added a flair to his signature, “of Carrollton,” making it clear that he put everything at risk. His cousin John, also an ardent supporter of the American Revolution, was ordained a Jesuit priest and returned to Maryland at the outbreak of hostilities. Upheavals in Europe forced the Jesuit order to dissolve, leaving Carroll a secular priest. Ultimately, it was John Carroll who was asked to organize the Catholic Church in the new nation. No one was better positioned for this task, a cultured man from an esteemed family, a cherished friend of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, and a man so thoroughly attuned to an undercurrent of anti-Catholicism in the colonies that he could charm powerful people to a new point of view. —Rev.
