Second Sunday of Lent
March 1, 2015If God is for us, who can be
against us? – Romans 8:31b
LISTEN AND FOLLOW“This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
And listen they did. From that moment on, Peter, James, and John were ardent followers, forsaking everything to follow in their Master’s footsteps. Like the psalmist crying, “O Lord, I am your servant,” the three disciples committed themselves to lives of incredible hardship and indescribable joy. After that day on the mountain, they never again wavered in their chosen vocation.
Though our tests may not be as severe as Abraham’s and our peak experiences not as dramatic as the Transfiguration, we all face the daily challenges of walking “before the Lord in the land of the living.” As we follow our varied calls to love and serve, let’s be comforted by Paul’s reminder to the Romans: “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

We have confessions every Tuesday of Lent from 5:00 – 6:00 pm in the Church.
FRIDAYS OF LENT Soup & Reflection
Lent is a time for reflection and renewal, for reflection again on the tremendous Christian promise of life that even conquers death. For our parish this Lenten season, we will be gathering as community in the Parish Hall every Friday night 6:00 PM for soup and a time of reflection together.
LENTEN BIBLE SHARINGWe will be having a basic Bible Sharing during the six weeks of Lent. We will start out sharing about Lent by discussing what we do during this season, and why this season is significant for Catholics. Please join us on Thursday nights
in the RCIA Office beginning at 7:00 PM. Any questions please call Debbie Roberts at (818) 361-8795.Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma
Marzo 1, 2015Si Dios está a nuestro favor,
¿Quién estará en contra nuestra? -Romanos 8:31b
ESCUCHA Y SIGUE“Este es mi Hijo amado; escúchenlo”. Y sí
que lo escucharon. Desde ese momento, Pedro, Santiago y Juan fueron sus ardientes seguidores, desechándolo todo para seguir las huellas del Maestro. Tal como proclama el salmista, “Señor, he aquí tu servidor”, los tres discípulos se comprometieron a vidas de increíbles penurias e indescriptible gozo. Después de ese día en la montaña, nunca más dudaron de la vocación escogida.
Aunque nuestras pruebas no sean tan severas como la de Abraham, ni nuestros momentos sublimes tan dramáticos como la Transfiguración, todos confrontamos los retos cotidianos de caminar “en presencia del Señor en el país de la vida”. Mientras seguimos nuestros diversos llamados a amar y servir, seamos confortados por lo que Pablo les recuerda a los romanos: “Si Dios está a nuestro favor, ¿quién estará en contra nuestra?”
