CHRIST, THE KING
The selection from the book of Daniel presented in today’s first reading was part of an attempt to weave a vision of ultimate success for the Jews under persecution. Exactly whom the author had in mind when he refers to “one like a Son of Man” is hotly disputed by scholars today. The fact is, we simply do not know if the author meant anyone in particular or if this is a collective, figurative image of Israel’s triumph. What we do know is that the early Christian community seized upon this passage and recognized it as a messianic prophecy, a foretelling of the ultimate triumph of Jesus as the Christ of God. The Lec-tionary’s juxtaposition of this text with today’s Gospel narrative of Jesus before Pilate is a wonderful example of how the liturgy “layers” passages with new meaning by inserting them in a par-ticular context.
The celebration of Christ the King allows us to hear these passages with a new depth of meaning in light of our con-temporary understanding of how, in Jesus and his resurrection and ascension, we have seen the fulfillment of Daniel’s vision of ultimate deliverance. The veiled admission of Jesus before Pilate that he did indeed have a kingdom “not here” takes on new meaning against the cosmic vision of Daniel, who allows us to glimpse the “Ancient One” on his heavenly throne.

CRISTO REY
La selección del libro de Daniel para la primera lectura de hoy forma parte de un intento de tejer una visión del éxito final de los judíos perseguidos. Exactamente qué tenía el autor en mente cuando se refiere a “uno semejante a un Hijo de hom-bre” es muy disputado por los eruditos de hoy. El hecho es que, simplemente, no sabemos si el autor quiso decir a alguien en particular o si se trata de una imagen colectiva, figurativa del triunfo de Israel. Lo que sí sabemos es que la primera comuni-dad cristiana se apoderó de este pasaje y lo reconoció como una profecía mesiánica, un anuncio de la victoria final de Jesús co-mo el Cristo de Dios. El contraste que hace el leccionario de este texto con la narrativa del Evangelio de hoy de Jesús ante Pilato es un maravilloso ejemplo de cómo la liturgia da a ciertos pasajes nuevas “capas” de significado mediante la inserción en un contexto particular.
La celebración de Cristo Rey nos permite escuchar estos pasajes con una nueva profundidad de significado a la luz de nuestra comprensión contemporánea de cómo, en Jesús y su Resurrección y Ascensión, hemos visto el cumplimiento de la visión de Daniel de la liberación final. La admisión velada de Jesús ante Pilato que, efectivamente, él tenía un reino pero “no aquí” toma un nuevo significado con la visión cósmica de Dan-iel sirviendo de fondo, que nos permite vislumbrar al “Anciano” en su trono celestial.

Sabia Udsted?
Mantenga las fiestas navideñas seguras para los niños Vino, cócteles, o rompope con vino pueden hacer que su temporada navideña sea más festiva, pero no para los niños. A menudo, los niños accidentalmente beber alcohol después de las fiestas, tomando de vasos parcialmente vacíos y lo que queda en el tazón de ponche. La ingestión de tan solo 3 onzas de licor fuerte puede ser potencialmente fatal para un niño que pesa 25 libras. El alcohol hace que bajen los niveles de azúcar en la sangre, lo cual puede llevar a confusión, convulsiones e incluso coma. Limpie todos los vasos y otros
recipientes que contengan alcohol inmediatamente después de que se termine su fiesta. Tenga el número de teléfono del centro de control de intoxicaciones
programado en su teléfono y mantenga el número a la mano en la puerta de su refrigerador: 1-800-222-1222. Para obtener ayuda, llame a la Oficina del Ministerio de Asistencia al (213) 637-7650.
Did You Know?
Keep holiday parties safe for children
Wine, cocktails and spiked eggnog may make your holidays festive, but they’re no party for young children. Children often accidentally drink alcohol after holiday parties, by sampling partially empty glasses and what’s left in the punch bowl. Ingesting as little as 3 ounces of hard liquor potentially can be fatal to a child weighing 25 pounds. Alcohol causes blood sugar levels to drop, which can lead to confusion, seizures or even comas. Clear away all glasses and other alcoholic containers immediately as soon as guests leave after your holiday party. Keep the poison control center phone number programmed in your phone and posted on your refrigerator: 1-800-222-1222. For particular help, you may call Assistance Ministry at (213) 637-7650.
