Scripture

First Reading

As the visions during the night continued, I saw
   one like a Son of man coming,
       on the clouds of heaven;
   when he reached the Ancient One
       and was presented before him,
   the one like a Son of man received dominion, glory, and kingship;
       all peoples, nations, and languages serve him.
   His dominion is an everlasting dominion
       that shall not be taken away,
       his kingship shall not be destroyed.

Dn 7:13-14
Second Reading

Jesus Christ is the faithful witness,
the firstborn of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth.
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
who has made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father,
to him be glory and power forever and ever. Amen.
Behold, he is coming amid the clouds,
and every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him.
All the peoples of the earth will lament him.
Yes. Amen.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God,
"the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty."

Rv 1:5-8
Gospel

Pilate said to Jesus,
"Are you the King of the Jews?"
Jesus answered, "Do you say this on your own
or have others told you about me?"
Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I?
Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me.
What have you done?"
Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world.
If my kingdom did belong to this world,
my attendants would be fighting
to keep me from being handed over to the Jews.
But as it is, my kingdom is not here."
So Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?"
Jesus answered, "You say I am a king.
For this I was born and for this I came into the world,
to testify to the truth.
Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."

Jn 18:33b-37

General Intercessions: The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe- November 21, 2021

For the Church:

That it recognizes the needs of the many ethnic communities of Catholics, and that it may extend its hand of welcome to all who desire to join...

That we follow the invitation of Pope Francis to pray for people who suffer from depression, that they may find support and a light that opens them up to life...

We pray to the Lord.

For our city, state, nation and world:

That all races and cultures, ages and perspectives may come together to help heal the sin of racism…

That all people impacted by the recent traumas in our country -- those who suffer from injustice, those tempted to violence as an answer and those who have lost hope -- may they turn to God for healing, comfort and peace.

We pray to the Lord.

For our Saint Monica community:

That during this Month of Remembrance, we remember in a special way our family, friends, neighbors and the unnamed homeless who have gone before us to rest in the arms of the Lord...

That the example of service by the staff and volunteers at our Thanksgiving Dinner and Boutique may inspire us to donate our time, talents and treasures to help those in need, whether in our homes, our communities or around the world...

That we are moved to love and see the image of Christ in all who will be served at our Thanksgiving Dinner and Boutique, especially the poor, the sick and the aged...

We pray to the Lord.

For the ill, that they find strength in God’s loving compassion:

For Wendy Lloyd, Natasha Tentser, Tina Malate, Pilar Rodriguez, Ciaran (Ian) Lofts, Nick Hamilton, Angelo Zangari, Father Richard Estrada

We pray to the Lord.

For those who have died:

For Joanne Boggs, Mary Ornby, Bernie Katz, Bertha Cruz, Dina Gross, Malou Lichtenthaeler, Saturnino Valdez, Sheldon K. Stock

We pray to the Lord.

Prayer for Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,

I believe you are really here in the Blessed Sacrament.

I love you more than anything in the world,

And I hunger to receive you.

But since I cannot receive Communion at this time,

Feed my soul at least spiritually.

I unite myself to you now,

As I do when I actually receive you in Holy Communion

Amen.

Good Works Never Cease

For several months now we've been [email protected] and gathered online to worship and pray together. Although our state and communities have begun to take small steps towards re-opening, we will continue to re-imagine and re-establish parish life—wherever we are. Your table is our table.

Together, we have:

gathered together for Mass online, still inviting lectors, musicians, and ministers to offer their gifts
brought you our Parish Mission Retreat and prayerful devotions online
established a response ministry to serve and assist those in our community with meal and grocery delivery
thanked frontline medical workers
ensured that the lights stay on and that internet is accessible for those who are struggling
hand-written notes, made hundreds of phone calls, and kept our ministries connected and engaged.

You make all of this good work possible. Half of our offertory gifts are usually collected in church through the Sunday basket. While we aren't able to pass the basket right now, we hope you will continue your offertory gifts through either a one-time gift -or- recurring giving. You may also click the 'Donate' button in the Livestream player. Your sustained gifts bring stability and peace of mind—as well as hope and comfort for those who need it most. Thank you!
