FROM ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY - Lent is a call

to “give alms for the poor,” Wherever you live in the parish, there

are poor families within walking distance of your home. When in

need, they ring the rectory bell. They are, in effect, ringing your

doorbell.

Is there a family you know who needs assistance? Please call the

Society of St. Vincent de Paul so that together we can help the

suffering and the poor.

_________________________________________________

A GOOD LENT - A good Lent involves approaching the forty-

day period as our last opportunity to become a better person, and a better Christian. During this season of Lent, let us take advantage of the many graces to grow more into the likeness of Christ. If we approach Lent with this attitude of mind, the season will be a time of great spiritual growth and will truly prepare us for a most joyful celebration of the Easter mysteries.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS during Lent are every Friday at

7:00PM in English and at 7:45 PM in Spanish.

SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT

Domingo 12 de Marzo de 2017

2º Domingo de Cuaresma Génesis 12,1-4a: Abrahán, padre del pueblo de Dios

Salmo 32: Que tu misericordia, Señor, venga sobre nosotros

2 Timoteo 1,8b-10: Dios nos llama y nos ilumina

Mateo 17,1-9: Su rostro resplandecía como el sol LA SEMANA PASADA contemplábamos a Jesús siendo

tentado en el desierto. Hoy lo vemos transfigurado en lo alto de

la montaña. Es muy significativo que la Iglesia nos proponga esta

pedagogía. Habíamos visto como el Señor vencía al tentador y,

aun con la certeza de que nunca nos deja solos, se nos recordaba

nuestra propia fragilidad y el hecho de que estamos abocados a

la lucha contra el pecado. Hoy, sin embargo, nos detenemos ante

la inesperada manifestación de Jesús resplandeciente. Se anticipa

en este misterio el de la resurrección. Jesús subió al monte

acompañado de tres de sus apóstoles, los mismos que estarán con

él en Getsemaní.

Su rostro resplandecía como el sol y sus vestidos se

volvieron blancos como la luz. Se trata de algo maravilloso.

Tanto que Pedro pide quedarse allí, y exclama: Señor, ¡que hermoso es estar aquí! Inmediatamente pienso en todos esos

momentos de gracia vividos solo o en grupo en los que la verdad

de Cristo se ha hecho presente con especial intensidad. Recuerdo

muchos rostros transformados en alguna de las Jornadas

Mundiales de la Juventud, o la especial alegría o emoción que

han surgido en algún encuentro apostólico o celebración

litúrgica. Son esos momentos en que nuestra vida cobra un peso

especial porque la intuimos toda llena de Dios y el amor de sus

designios se nos manifiesta con especial claridad. No es cuestión

de entender más o menos, sino, simplemente, de constatar lo bien

que se está con el Señor. Sin embargo, no han de permanecer en lo alto de la montaña.

Santo Tomas dice que hemos de comunicar a los demás lo que

hemos contemplado en la oración, Jesús mismo desciende del

monte para dirigirse a Jerusalén. Donde se va a entregar por

nosotros. En la transfiguración se nos recuerda esa gran verdad:

Jesús se ha abajado para salvamos. Es su amor el que ha guiado ese

descendimiento. La intimidad con Dios siempre nos conduce por esa

dinámica, EI acercarnos a él nos impulsa a querer ir más hacia los

henna nos. Su amor es el gran motor de la entrega al prójimo. Hay

que descender de la montaña para cumplir el designio amoroso de

Dios.

Asimismo, cuando san Pablo exhorta a su discípulo Timoteo

que tome parte en los duros trabajos del evangelio descubrimos que

ese dinamismo ha de impregnar la verdadera amistad cristiana. A lo

largo de la historia, encontramos muchos ejemplos de santos que se

han animado mutuamente a darse más a los demás por amor hacia

ellos. ¿No esta eso prefigurado de alguna manera en el misterioso

coloquio que mantiene Jesús con Elías y Moisés? El mismo

Abrahán, que es conocido como el amigo de Dios, sale de su tierra

porque el Señor así se lo pide para hacerlo padre de una multitud de

pueblos.

En la montaña, los apóstoles escucharon estas palabras:

Este es mi Hijo, el amado, mi predilecto. Escuchadle. En el camino de

la Cuaresma nos queda esta certeza. Sabemos del poder del amor de

Dios y de cómo su amor tiene la fuerza de transformar totalmente

nuestra vida. Conocemos también que nuestra vida ha de ser

seguimiento de Cristo. Escuchemos su palabra, que nos muestra la

bondad de Dios y nos impulsa hacia el amor generoso a los henna

nos. Tras aquella revelación, los apóstoles cayeron de bruces.

Estaban ante Dios. Pero Jesús se acercó a ellos y les dio ánimos,

Grande es el camino de la vida cristiana, pero no nos falta la tierna

y suave compañía de Cristo. ¡Qué alegría y que consuelo! Con la colaboración de Magnificat

REFLECTIONS

ON CHRISTIAN PARENTING In the first days of our child’s life, we begin to teach what it is to be a

Catholic Christian …loving touches, soft voicers, playful expressions,

holding the baby close when they cry, feeding when hungry…early feelings

in a child that speak of loving parents, a loving world, a loving God. Your

fears, hopes, dreams, disappointments are felt by the child as he/she grows.

You are the first TEACHER and the most influential one your child will

ever have. However, God does not call you to be professors or theologians,

but simply to be Christian parents...to live in the knowledge of His love for

you and to do your best to imitate Him.

Children learn about acceptance and respect for others the first time they

come in from a fight or disagreement. The words used will be their first real

teaching on love of neighbor, respect for self and others. Fairness and

justice can only be taught in a home that believes in equality. Jokes,

sarcasm and unkind remarks about those who are different from us make a

lasting impression on children and cannot be easily erased…not even by the

finest catechist or Catholic school teacher.

A child’s worth is determined by what is experienced in the family. This is

the place where one can feel special and unique in a positive

way…belonging in a climate of caring and concern for one another. They

learn to like themselves and as a result can begin to openly like others.

Asking for Christian membership for our children through Baptism requires

that we have a living, active faith in order that we may effectively “enable

our children to know God” as required in the Rite of Baptism for Children.
