Music Notes
Pastor’s Notes
JESUS IS LORD!
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Lent is a time of spiritual renewal when we are
called to focus our minds and hearts on heavenly realities
and yield ourselves to God. As we do, God can transform
our inner selves and renew us. From the transfiguration,
we can discern important spiritual truths about Jesus and
about our lives in relationship to him. These same truths
can help to change us.
From the cloud, the Father said to listen to Jesus
(Mark 9:7)). Jesus is our teacher because of his willing
response to the Father’s desires. His attitude of humble
obedience saw its culmination in his sacrifice on Calvary,
as his death blotted out all of our sins (Hebrew 10:9-10).
Now, because of Jesus’ complete obedience to the Father,
everyone has the opportunity to gain salvation through his
death on the cross (Romans 5:10).
The transfiguration reveals that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament as the promised Messiah
and Savior. Our response is to accept and believe. As we
do, just as Jesus was transfigured (changed and glorified)
by the Father, we too can experience transformation. St.
Paul wrote that as we look to Christ in prayer, free from
any “veils” of selfishness and sin, we will be transformed
“from one degree of glory to another” by the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18).
This transformation is a continual strengthening
of the divine life that God places inside us at our baptism.
We can see signs of this transformation when we find that
we want to be in God’s presence more, when we choose
to do his will instead of our own, when we are able to exert greater control over the passions in our hearts, when
we are more moved to love and care more for other people.
Our response to God’s call to transformation demands sacrifice- to put aside our own fallen ways and
allow God to make us more like Christ. Unless we die to
ourselves, our experience of his life in us will be limited,
and we will bear no lasting fruit (John 12:24). As we embrace Christ’s cross, we will find that any loss we experience is nothing compared to the glory of the new life that
will be manifested in us (Philippians 3:8).
From St. Raphael’s Music Ministry…
We have begun preparation for the upcoming Lenten and Confirmation celebrations. This is a wonderful time to consider being

Fall 2006 Trip To Italy!
The parish of St. Raphael-Holy Angels
is getting ready to travel to Italy this fall
to visit the shrines. Points of interest include Rome, Florence, Sienna and Assisi. For further information please contact our pastoral associate Sr. Sandra, at the rectory, by calling
609-585-7049.
[pastor’s message continued ]
Jesus’ transfiguration reminds us that we are not
changed by our own effort. It is a matter of our accepting
god’s grace with humble, teachable hearts that seek to
hear God and allow him to work in us more deeply. Be
confident that God will change us; after all, he sacrificed
his own Son to assure us new life (Romans 8:32).
In Jesus and Mary,
Father Jeff Kegley
Pastor

Weekly Collection for Feb. 25th & 26th
IN THE WORDS OF HIS HOLINESS
POPE BENEDICT XVI
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Last Wednesday we began Lent and today
we celebrate the first Sunday of this liturgical time,
which stimulates Christians to commit themselves to
a journey of preparation for Easter. The Gospel reminds us today that, after being baptized in the Jordan River, Jesus -- moved by the Holy Spirit that
rested on him, revealing that he was the Christ -went for forty days into the Judean wilderness where
he resisted the temptations of Satan (cf. Mark 1:1213). Following their teacher and Lord, Christians
also enter spiritually in the Lenten wilderness to face
with him "the struggle against the spirit of evil."
The image of the wilderness is a very eloquent metaphor of the human condition. The book of
Exodus narrates the experience of the people of Israel that, after having come out of Egypt, wandered
in the Sinai desert during 40 years, before reaching
the Promised Land.
During this long journey, the Jews experienced all the force and insistence of the tempter that
led them to lose confidence in the Lord and to turn
back; but, at the same time, thanks to the mediation
of Moses, they learned to listen to the voice of the
Lord, who was calling them to become his holy people.
Upon meditating this passage of the Bible,
we understand that to fulfill our life in freedom it is
necessary to surmount the test that freedom itself
implies, that is, temptation. Only if liberated from
falsehood and sin, can the human person, thanks to
the obedience of faith that opens him to truth, find
the full meaning of his existence and have peace,
love and joy.
Precisely for this reason, Lent is a favorable
time for a careful revision of life in recollection,
prayer and penance. The spiritual exercises, which
as is traditional, will take place from this afternoon
until next Saturday here, in the Apostolic Palace, will
help me and my collaborators of the Roman Curia
enter with greater awareness in this characteristic
Lenten climate.

St. Raphael-Holy Angels Food Pantry
In the spirit of Christian charity during this Lenten season, please remember those who visit our food pantry by
purchasing just one extra item when you do your grocery
shopping and donating it to the parish food pantry. We are
always in need of all types of non-perishable food items,
as our supply is depleted after each Reach Out Saturday.
Monetary donations are also most welcome as they are
used to purchase items that are in short supply.
Upcoming “Reach Out Saturdays” are on
Saturday, March 25th & April 8 from 9 to 11am.
“On earth You have no other body but ours.
No other feet but ours, no other hands but ours.
Our eyes to show Your love for the world,
Our feet to carry You to do good.
Now You will bless with our hands.”
St. Teresa of Avila
We pray for all the deceased of our parish
and their families:
Rose Toth
Ann Rhodes
Eleanor Mycock
Eternal rest grant to them O Lord, and may perpetual light
shine upon them. May they rest in peace. May their souls
and the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy
of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
{The Words of the Holy Father continued }
Dear brothers and sisters, while I ask you
that you support me with your prayers, I assure you
of my prayer before the Lord so that, for all Christians, Lent will be an occasion of conversion and of
a more courageous impulse to holiness. Let us invoke for this reason the maternal intercession of the
Virgin Mary.

THE GIFT OF LENT
Each year, the Church gives to us the gift of Lent, a season of grace and humility with many opportunities to grow
stronger and closer in faith and with our Lord. It is a time to re-examine our lives and seek ways in which we can be
spiritually renewed, looking always to God for guidance and His bountiful mercy. Our Catholic Catechism invites us to
learn of and prayerfully observe The Five Precepts of the Church :
1] To attend Mass on Sundays and on Holy Days of Obligation and rest from servile labor.
2] To confess your sins at least once a year.
3] To receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist at least once a year, during the Easter season.
4] To observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church.
5] To help to provide for the needs of the Church.
Pray that we will all come together as a parish of God’s people to grow in strength of virtue during this Holy Season.

Protecting God’s Children® Online - A Must for Parents, Educators and Volunteers
Protecting Children and Young People from Online Dangers:
The Internet has become the new schoolyard for child molesters seeking girls or boys to victimize. For 2006, the VIRTUS® programs present an intensive one-day training seminar that illustrates the growing problem of sexual predators
who target children via the Internet. The seminar will identify and then discuss the methodologies and seduction techniques employed by the child molester in the various chat rooms and on the World Wide Web. Additionally, the seminar
examines the topics of child erotica, child pornography, and their use by the child molester. Lastly, the seminar explores
safety techniques and software that can be used to protect children.
Speaker:
Robert Hugh Farley, M.S., a 30-year veteran of the Cook County Sheriff’s Police Department in Chicago, Illinois, presents this eye-opening seminar. As a highly decorated detective and deputy United States Marshal, Detective Farley has
had over 28 years experience conducting and supervising all aspects of child abuse investigations—from sexual abuse to
child homicide.
Specific topics addressed at the seminar:
• Historical background of child exploitation.
• The evolution of the online problem that began in 1997.
• The progression of child pornography from Polaroid photos, to camcorders, to digital cameras, and beyond.
• The use of the computer, text messaging and the Internet in child sexual exploitation.
• Web-cams, chat rooms, file servers, and the Internet Relay Chat (IRC).
• Strategies for developing an online child friendly/child safe atmosphere in a religious and/or school environment.
• Awareness of fundamental computer hardware, technology and terminology.
• Techniques for interviewing the victim of online child abuse.
• Identification, disclosure, and the special needs of the victim of online child abuse.
• The situational child molester, the preferential child molester and the online child sexual predator.
• The child molester’s online seduction techniques.
• Child molester collections: child pornography, trophies, and child erotica.
• Law enforcement’s reactive and proactive response to the online problem.
The seminar will be held at the Diocesan Pastoral Center on March 25, 2006 from 9:00am – 4:00pm
Space is limited – please register early
