Second Sunday of Lent February 21, 2016

The L is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear?

— Psalm 27:1 WE ARE TO BE TRANSFORMED

Today’s showing forth of God’s glory is filled with a light that astonishes and reveals. Jesus transfigured on Mount Tabor energizes even the sleepy apostles, who see but cannot get hold of it. They can be forgiven for not apprehending the full meaning of this extraordinary vision of a transfigured Jesus with Elijah and Moses. The whole of the Law and prophets is summed up here on this mountain. The transfiguration on Mount Tabor is handed over to us this Sunday. As Paul reminds us, it is we who are to be transformed. The light and life of the Resurrection are set forth here so we do not lose heart and fall entirely asleep. This Sunday looks to Easter. It looks to transformation. It asks us to lift up our heads and acknowledge the risen Lord as our light and our salvation. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LENT AND DAILY MASS

Daily Mass: Lent is a special season when people make a greater effort to attend daily Mass. As a child I was awakened to attend a daily Mass during Lent. It was difficult getting up early, but I learned the efficacy of prayer and the importance of the Mass in the lives of my parents and neighbors. Attending Mass, or now offering the Mass is where I feel God predominately speaks to me of His plans.

“I know well the plans I have in mind for you. Plans for your welfare not for your woe.

Plans to bring you a future full of hope. (Jer 29:11)

Today, February 17, 2016, in the gospel Christ told the leaders of Israel they were too self absorbed to change their lives . . . . The Mass helps us to put God first. Daily Mass allows us to celebrate anniversaries and birthdays. It helps us to reach out to God in tough times and when we cannot attend funerals we can join loved ones who are miles away, around the Altar at our Chapel. Our Mass provides us an opportunity to say thanks and to enjoy God’s abiding Presence. There is a strong community at our daily Mass and this is strengthened and blessed by those who come for special occasions. So, if some morning you are free during Lent at 6:30 and 8:30am, join us for daily Mass. Discover the gift of daily Mass. God Bless, Fr. Mike

Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma 21 de febrero de 2016 El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación, ¿a quién temeré? — Salmo 27 (26):1 SEREMOS TRANSFORMADOS La manifestación de la Gloria de Dios en el Evangelio de hoy está llena de una luz que a la vez asombra y revela. Jesús, transfigurado en el Monte Tabor, llena de su energía a

los apóstoles adormecidos, que ven la visión, pero no la saben captar. Es perdonable que no capten del todo el significado de esta extraordinaria visión de Jesús transfigurado, entre Moisés y Elías. Aquí, en el monte santo, se resumen la Ley y los profetas. Hoy esa transfiguración se nos ofrece y se nos entrega. Como nos recuerda san Pablo, somos nosotros los que vamos a ser transformados. Hoy se nos presentan la luz y la vida de la Resurrección, para que no nos descorazonemos, no sea que nos quedemos del todo dormidos. Este domingo ya mira hacia la Pascua. Mira hacia la transformación. Nos pide que levantemos la cabeza, y reconozcamos al Señor Resucitado como nuestra luz y salvación. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
