From the Pastor’s Heart and Desk: ~~~~ Transfigurations are big busi-ness because we are very aware of the face we present to the world. And we will alter our face to our advantage if we can. Sometimes

the change is not just in looks but in our whole image - including our name. La-rushka Shikne did not like the image he thought his name projected, so he changed his name to Laurence Harvey. Issur Danielovitch Densky did the same thing and became Kirk Douglas. In the same way, Frances Gum transfigured her-self and her image into Judy Garland. Archibald Leach became Cary Grant. Asron Schwalt became Red Buttons. And would you have paid money to see Mari-on Morrison in the movies? Maybe, but Marion didn’t take that chance, he be-came John Wayne. Remember that in Ho-ly Scriptures many people got new names to go with a new life and a new image. Abram became Abraham. Sarai be-came Sarah. Jacob became Israel. Saul be-came Paul. Simon became Peter, “the Rock.” Transfigurations are not the ex-ception. They are the rule. We are all be-ing altered in the appearance of our face, our countenance. We are all changing. To live is to be continually transfigured. So who are we becoming? ~~~~ David A. Redding tells in one of his books about Orville Kelly - a man who was informed years ago that he was suf-fering from terminal cancer. He and his wife went home to cry and to die. Should they keep it a secret? They wondered and they prayed. The answer, they decid-ed, was that they should not only pray but also play. They decided to put on a big party. They invited all their friends. During the festivities, Orville held up his hand to make an announcement: “You may have wondered why I called you all together,” he said. “This is a cancer par-ty. I have been told that I have terminal... Continued on page 5

Del Escritorio y Corazón del Pastor: ~~~~ Las transfiguraciones son un negocio grande porque estamos concientes de la cara que presen-tamos al mundo y alteramos nues-

tras caras hacia nuestra ventaja si po-demos. A veces el cambio no es solamen-te de como lucimos sino en nuestra imagen total incluyendo nuestro nombre. A Larushka Shikne no le gustaba la imagen que ella pensaba que su nombre proyectaba, entonces se cambió el nom-bre a Laurence Harvey. Issur Danie-lovitch Densky hizo lo mismo y se cambió a Kirk Douglas. Del mismo modo, Frances Gum transfiguró su imagen en Judy Garland. Archibald Leach se cam-bió a Cary Grant. Aaron Schwart, se vol-vió Red Buttons. Y usted tendría que pa-gar dinero para ver a Marion Morrison en el cine?. Tal vez, pero Marion no tomó ese chance, se hizo John Wayne. Recuerden que en las Escrituras Sagra-das mucha gente alteró su nombre para seguir con una nueva vida y una nueva imagen. Abram se volvió Abraham. Sarai, se volvió Sarah. Jacob se volvió Israel. Saul se volvió Paul. Simón se vol-vió Peter "la roca" . Las transfigura-ciones no son la excepción, son la regla. Todos somos alterados en la apariencia de nuestros rostros, nuestros aspetos, to-dos estamos cambiando. Vivir es estar continuamente transfigurados. Entonces, en quién nos convertimos ? . ~~~~ David A. Redding nos dice en uno de sus libros acerca de Orville Kelly, un hombre quien fue informado hace al-gunos años que estaba sufriendo de un cancer terminal. El y su esposa fueron a su casa a llorar y a morir. Debian ... Continua en la pagina 5

Continued from page 2 … cancer. Then my wife and I realized we are all termi-nal. We decided to start a new organiza-tion. It is called M.T.C. - ‘Make Today Count.’ You are all charter members.” Since that time that organization has spread across the country. Orville’s recognition of his mortality was a new beginning. Such an attitude is not as rare as you might think. Former Harvard soci-ologist Pitirim Sorokin noted years ago that some people meet tragedy and fall apart at the seams. Others meet the same adversities and see their troubles as a challenge to their faith and courage. They make their troubles work for them, and the harder they fall, the higher they bounce.

Viene de la Pagina 2 … mantenerlo como un secreto? Se epreguntaron y oraron. La respuesta, ellos decidieron, que no solo debían orar sino gozar. Decidieron hacer una gran fiesta. Invitaron a todos sus amigos. durante la fiesta, Orville levantó la mano para hacer un anuncio : "Ustedes se preguntaran por qué los llamé a todos juntos? les dijo. "Esta es una fiesta del cáncer. Me han dicho que tengo cáncer terminal. Entonves mi esposa y yo nos di-mos cuenta que todos somos terminales. Decidimos empezar una nueva organi-zación. Se llama M.T.C. ( make today count), Haga que hoy dia cuente. Todos ustedes son miembros titulares". Desde ese tiempo esa organización se ha difun-dido en todo el país. El reconocimiento de la inmortalidad de Orville fue un nuevo comienzo. Tal actitud no es tan rara co-mo Ud. cree. Un Sociólogo de Harvard Pit-irim Sorokin notó hace unos años que al-gunas personas encuentran una tragedia y se desmoronan. Otros encuentran las mismas adversidades y ven sus prob-lemas como un reto a su fé y coraje. Hacen que sus problemas trabajen para ellos, y por más duro que caigan, más al-to se levantan.

Fr. Quinn wishes to extend his sincere

thanks to everyone who helped him celebrate the 50th Anniversary of his Ordination at Mass on Sunday, February 26th.

Thank you to Fr. Kubala for his invitation to have the Mass here at

St. Matthew and to Archbishop Wenski for attending and giving the Homily. Thank you to Eva

Hart, Joan Ochoa and their wonderful volunteers for the

beautiful luncheon provided after the 10:00 Mass. It was a lot of work and was appreciated by Fr. Quinn

very much. God bless all of you.
