en la Vigilia Pascual. Los catecúmenos se llaman ya Elegidos, porque la Iglesia los ha escogido (“elegido”) por esta etapa

próxima. ¡Favor de rezar para este grupo diariamente!

El Misal (Ordinario de la Misa) esta en Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song a Partir de 150

Primera lectura Gen 15, 5-12. 17-18

En aquellos días, Dios sacó a Abram de su casa y le dijo: “Mira el cielo y cuenta las estrellas, si puedes”. Luego añadió: “Así será tu

descendencia”. Abram creyó lo que el Señor le decía y, por esa fe, el Señor lo tuvo por justo. Entonces le dijo: “Yo soy el Señor, el que

te sacó de Ur, ciudad de los caldeos, para entregarte en posesión esta tierra”. Abram replicó: “Señor Dios, ¿cómo sabré que voy a

poseerla?” Dios le dijo: “Tráeme una ternera, una cabra y un carnero, todos de tres años; una tórtola y un pichón”. Tomó Abram

aquellos animales, los partió por la mitad y puso las mitades una enfrente de la otra, pero no partió las aves. Pronto comenzaron los

buitres a descender sobre los cadáveres y Abram los ahuyentaba. Estando ya para ponerse el sol, Abram cayó en un profundo letargo, y

un terror intenso y misterioso se apoderó de él. Cuando se puso el sol, hubo densa oscuridad y sucedió que un brasero humeante y una

antorcha encendida, pasaron por entre aquellos animales partidos. De esta manera hizo el Señor, aquel día, una alianza con Abram,

diciendo: “A tus descendientes doy esta tierra, desde el río de Egipto hasta el gran río Éufrates”.

Salmo Responsorial Salmo 26 R. El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación.

Segunda lectura Fil 3, 17–4, 1

Hermanos: Sean todos ustedes imitadores míos y observen la conducta de aquellos que siguen el ejemplo que les he dado a ustedes.

Porque, como muchas veces se lo he dicho a ustedes, y ahora se lo repito llorando, hay muchos que viven como enemigos de la cruz de

Cristo. Esos tales acabarán en la perdición, porque su dios es el vientre, se enorgullecen de lo que deberían avergonzarse y sólo piensan

en cosas de la tierra. Nosotros, en cambio, somos ciudadanos del cielo, de donde esperamos que venga nuestro Salvador, Jesucristo. Él

transformará nuestro cuerpo miserable en un cuerpo glorioso, semejante al suyo, en virtud del poder que tiene para someter a su dominio

todas las cosas. Hermanos míos, a quienes tanto quiero y extraño: ustedes, hermanos míos amadísimos, que son mi alegría y mi corona,

manténganse fieles al Señor.

Evangelio Lc 9, 28b-36 En aquel tiempo, Jesús se hizo acompañar de Pedro, Santiago y Juan, y subió a un monte para hacer oración. Mientras oraba, su rostro

cambió de aspecto y sus vestiduras se hicieron blancas y relampagueantes. De pronto aparecieron conversando con él dos personajes,

rodeados de esplendor: eran Moisés y Elías. Y hablaban de la muerte que le esperaba en Jerusalén. Pedro y sus compañeros estaban

rendidos de sueño; pero, despertándose, vieron la gloria de Jesús y de los que estaban con él. Cuando éstos se retiraban, Pedro le dijo a

Jesús: “Maestro, sería bueno que nos quedáramos aquí y que hiciéramos tres chozas: una para ti, una para Moisés y otra para Elías”, sin

saber lo que decía. No había terminado de hablar, cuando se formó una nube que los cubrió; y ellos, al verse envueltos por la nube, se

llenaron de miedo. De la nube salió una voz que decía: “Éste es mi Hijo, mi escogido; escúchenlo”. Cuando cesó la voz, se quedó Jesús

solo. Los discípulos guardaron silencio y por entonces no dijeron a nadie nada de lo que habían visto.

Find the Missal (Ordinary of the Mass) at 150 in Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song

First Reading GN 15:5-12, 17-18

The Lord God took Abram outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars, if you can. Just so,” he added, “shall your

descendants be.” Abram put his faith in the LORD, who credited it to him as an act of righteousness.He then said to him, “I am the

LORD who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as a possession.” “O Lord GOD,” he asked, “how am I to

know that I shall possess it?” He answered him, “Bring me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old she-goat, a three-year-old ram, a

turtledove, and a young pigeon.” Abram brought him all these, split them in two, and placed each half opposite the other; but the birds

he did not cut up. Birds of prey swooped down on the carcasses, but Abram stayed with them. As the sun was about to set, a trance fell

upon Abram, and a deep, terrifying darkness enveloped him. When the sun had set and it was dark, there appeared a smoking fire pot

and a flaming torch, which passed between those pieces. It was on that occasion that the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying:

“To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the Great River, the Euphrates.”

Responsorial Psalm PS 27 R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Second Reading 2 PHIL 3:17—4:1

Join with others in being imitators of me, brothers and sisters, and observe those who thus conduct themselves according to the model

you have in us. For many, as I have often told you and now tell you even in tears, conduct themselves as enemies of the cross of Christ.

Their end is destruction. Their God is their stomach; their glory is in their “shame.” Their minds are occupied with earthly things. But

our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will change our lowly body to conform with

his glorified body by the power that enables him also to bring all things into subjection to himself. Therefore, my brothers and sisters,

whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord.

Gospel LK 9:28B-36

Jesus took Peter, John, and James and went up the mountain to pray. While he was praying his face changed in appearance and his

clothing became dazzling white. And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke

of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully

awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is

good that we are here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But he did not know what he was saying.

While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the cloud. Then

from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my chosen Son; listen to him.” After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They

fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen.

Celebrate the Jubilee Year of Mercy

with a Pilgrimage!

The Door of Mercy

Cardinal DiNardo has decreed that a Holy Door be

opened at the following churches, which will serve

also as pilgrimage sites during the Holy Year:

St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica (Holy Family Parish, 2011 Church

St, Galveston

Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart—1111 St. Joseph Parkway,

Houston

St. Bernadette Church—15500 El Camino Real, Houston TX

St. Francis of Assisi Church —5100 Dabney St, Houston TX

St. Ignatius Church —7810 Cypresswood Dr, Spring TX

Pilgrims who pass through this ‘Door of Mercy' at any

of the above designated churches receive the Jubilee

Indulgence. This Jubilee indulgence can be gained

once a day for oneself or for someone who has died.

The Holy Father has stated that, in order to receive

this Jubilee Indulgence, this passage through a Holy

Door must be linked with saying the Profession of

Faith, praying for the Holy Father and his intentions,

and going to a celebration of the Eucharist and the

Sacrament of Reconciliation.

(The 1st Week of March will be a “Week of Mercy”

at St. Pius V with the opportunity for Reconcilia-

tion each day in fulfillment of the requirements of

the Jubilee indulgence.)

2nd Sunday in Lent

St. Pius V Catholic Church February 21, 2016

My dear friends,

There are so many joys that I have experienced as a priest and as your pastor.

Among them, again and again, I get to witness the generosity of God’s people. From the help we received in

reinforcing the stone over our portico, to the gift of rock-fill for the lot on Harris; from the work of so many in

caring for our trees and flowers this weekend, to the renovation of the men’s restroom next week. There is too

much to name…all of the work that our Festival Committee is doing, the gift of our grand and lesser prize, the

decoration of our church on special feasts and every Sunday, the instruction of our children week after week, and

the work of our volunteers in the food pantry. So many people make special gifts. It is not only impossible to

name all of these things I have experienced, but they are so often offered in quiet anonymity.

Your generosity is humbling and it is evident each week in your offerings at the altar. What we place upon the

altar to be made holy by the Holy Spirit, to be joined to Christ’s own sacrifice is not only bread and wine but our

own sweat and toil, our own hearts humble and contrite.

Thank you for the gifts you return to God and the gift you are to me.

Mis queridos amigos,

Hay tantas alegrías que he experimentado como sacerdote y como su pastor.

Entre ellos, una y otra vez, tengo la oportunidad de ser testigo de la generosidad del pueblo de Dios. Desde la

ayuda que recibimos en refuerzo de la piedra en el pórtico, al don de grava para la propiedad de Harris; desde el

trabajo de muchos en cuidar nuestros árboles y flores este fin de semana, a la renovación del baño de los hombres

la próxima semana. Hay demasiado para nombrar ... todo el trabajo que realiza nuestra comité del Festival, el don

del gran premio y otros, la decoración de la iglesia en los días especiales y todos los domingos, la instrucción de

nuestros hijos semana tras semana, y el trabajo de nuestros voluntarios en la despensa. Muchas personas hacen

dones especiales. No sólo es imposible nombrar a todas estas cosas que he experimentado, sino a menudo se

ofrecen en el anonimato tranquila.

Su generosidad me hace humilde y esta generosidad es evidente cada domingo en sus ofrendas. Lo que

colocamos sobre el altar para ser santificado por el Espíritu Santo, para ser unido al propio sacrificio de Cristo no

es sólo pan y vino, sino nuestro propio sudor y trabajo, nuestro propios corazones humildes y contritos.

Gracias por los dones que ustedes devuelven a Dios y el don que son para mí.

P. Joe
