Second Sunday of Lent — 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 (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
“In the period of Lent, the Church, in the name of God, renews the call to conversion. It is the call to change one’s life.
Conversion is not a matter of a moment or a year, it is a commitment that lasts a lifetime. Who among us can be assumed not to be a sinner? No one.” Pope Francis

Our Challenge
Dear friends,
Abraham was called out of the darkness of idolatry to
establish a new people of faith. He had no idea how God would fulfill his
promises but he had confidence that God would lead the way. Though
he stumbled in the dark, the stars overhead guided him on his way.
Christians are not left to stumble along through life without a sense of
direction and a promise of arrival. We have the companionship and
counsel of the heroes of our faith like Paul to show the way. They make
straight the path through the darkest night. The transfiguration marked a
turning point in the public ministry of Jesus. He had suffered the temptations of Satan, the doubts of John the Baptizer, and the anger of critics.
But on the mountaintop he was bathed in the light of God’s affirmation
of his message and mission. In a world such as ours there seem to be
more and more times when life closes in on us, limiting our freedom and
darkening our path. Walking through almost any day we find ourselves
exposed to all manner of conflicts and threats. Simply living has become a dangerous matter. We invariably have to come down from our
mountain-top experiences. The dark valley threatens our faith and causes us to doubt the loving nature and redemptive purposes of God. We
endure the darkness because we have known the light. We trust in the
ultimate triumph of God’s loving nature and purpose. The first rays of
dawn are a promise that the sun will overcome the darkness. When we
walk toward the light, the shadow of our burdens and failures al-
ways falls behind us.
Have a great week!
Love and prayers,
Father Randy
WITNESS THE MYSTERY OF GOD’S MERCY
Jesus calls us all to follow this path: “Be merciful, even as your Father is
merciful” (Luke 6:36). I now ask of you one thing. In silence, let’s all
think…everyone think of a person with whom we are annoyed, with
whom we are angry, someone we do not like. Let us think of that person
and in silence, at this moment, let us pray for this person and let us become merciful with this person. Pope Francis
Idea to consider on our journey to becoming more
merciful:
Be generous enough to allow someone to help
you; people need to feel needed.
• If you didn’t mean to be a pain in the neck to
someone, admit you were and ask the person to
forgive you.

First Eucharist Celebration
First Eucharist will be celebrated at one mass on Sunday. April 17, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. Due to the
Church’s seating capacity, each family will be allowed a total of seven seats, comprised of one for the First
Eucharist Candidate, two for the parents or (other adults) sitting with the candidate and four spots
for family guests. The First Eucharist Candidate and two parents will be seated in a reserved section and
the guests will be seated in pews and chairs behind the sections reserved for the candidates. Any guests
beyond the four are welcome, but have no guarantee that seating will be available. However, they may
stand in the back of Church during mass.
In the event that these necessary seating limitations greatly hinder your family’s participation, an optional
way to celebrate the sacrament is being offered this year. Your family may choose to have your
candidate receive First Eucharist at the 9:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. masses being celebrated the week-end of
April 17th in lieu of the class celebration. Please note that there will be No Reception; however, the priest
will recognize and announce to the congregation that your child is celebrating the sacrament at this time. In
order to take part in this type of celebration, you must notify me by no later than Monday, April 11, 2016 so
that the celebrant may be made aware of the special circumstances.

construction of the Child Care Center. Upcoming events include a Lenten event for the Seniors and the Men’s Club
