We invite you to join us for the Bishop’s “Light is On” each
Wednesday during Lent. The evening will begin with
exposiƟon of the Blessed Sacrament at 6:30 p.m. The
Sacrament of ReconciliaƟon will be celebrated from 6:30 8:00 p.m. The evening of prayer will conclude with
BenedicƟon at 8:00 p.m. Please note that the Ɵme for
EucharisƟc AdoraƟon on Wednesdays will be from 6:30 8:00 p.m. during Lent.
The gospel reading we’re given on this 2nd Sunday of Lent is
St. Matthew’s description of the Transfiguration of Jesus. With
that reading, I’m reminded that each year on August 6, the
Church celebrates the Feast of the Transfiguration with the
account taken from the writings of St. Luke. Whether it is from
the perspective of St. Matthew, St. Mark or St. Luke, the event
of the Transfiguration holds a special place in my heart. It was
on August 6, 1999, during a gathering of the friars of our
Province that I made my Solemn Vows to this Franciscan
community.
The image of the gospel is meaningful to me. It’s not the
splendor or the glory of the transfigured Christ that touches me.
Nor is it the appearance of Moses or Elijah that resonate within
me. This encounter with Moses and Elijah reflects, not only the
Old Testament law giver and the prophets, but also reminds us
of the communion of Saints. Impressive, yes, but what makes
this account personal to me is the setting in which this happens.
I was privileged to be at Mount Tabor twice in my life. It is a
high and steep mountain and the ride up the mountain via taxi
was just as dramatic as the beautiful vistas one saw from the
top of the mountain. I’ll admit I had my eyes closed much of
the time on the way up the mountain as the taxis would careen
around the hair-pin corners where the views looking straight
down were (literally) breath-taking. I’m sure my prayers were
much like many pilgrims who prayed that the wheels of the
vehicles would not leave the roads.
But I’m intrigued not only with Jesus accompanying his
disciples up the high mountain but how we hear that Jesus then
accompanies them back down the mountain. That is the
important part for me. Jesus doesn’t simply allow the disciples
to glimpse his glory and remain on the mountaintop, but He
then takes them back down the mountain into the reality of the
world.
As we continue on our Lenten journey we need to bring the
experience of our relationship with Christ down from the
mountain and into our lives. Just as Jesus didn’t allow the
disciples to remain for a long time on the mountaintop and
walked with them back into the crowds of the people, so we
need to take our faith experience out of the confines of the
church and into our families and marketplace.
May our Lenten journey remind us of all the ways Jesus
accompanies us in our daily lives and may our imitation of Him
allow us to accompany others on our
pilgrimage to heaven.

SPRING IS COMING!
Father Beiting Appalachian Mission Drive
It's hard to think of spring cleaning with the cold and snow,
but as you get to that task, put aside your unwanted
furniture, appliances, building materials and household
goods for this spring's Appalachian Mission drive.
This year's drive will be on May 3rd from 8:00 AM until
noon. We almost filled the truck last fall and would love to
meet that goal again.
Also, the mission sends out a newsletter to those that
contribute directly. You can get in touch with the mission at
their web site: www.fbamc-ky.org. In this month's
newsletter they describe how great the need is, yet realize
that any success is one to be thankful for. If you have any
questions, contact Joe Speetjens at [email protected].

very considerate and generous to our Gabriel Moms and their
babies and we are hoping to continue doing so.
Please prayerfully consider donating any of the following
and much-needed items: New or Gently Used Baby Boy

New Infant or convertible Car Seat; Stroller; Baby Carrier
of any kind; Breastfeeding Supplies; Baby Bath Tub &

Lent 2014
Music Changes for the Lenten Season
To help signify the change from Ordinary Time to the
Lenten Season the following music changes will occur:
1. We will sing the Kyrie found in the Mass of
Renewal Booklet
2. We will sing the Holy, Holy; Memorial Acclamation
and Amen from the Mass of Christ the Savior found
in the Music Issue # 922, 923, and 926.
3. We will sing the Agnus Dei ( Lamb of God) in Latin
found in the Music Issue # 858 as a reminder of our
roots in the Latin liturgy.
4. No recessional song will be sung. Instead Handbells
will toll at the end of every Mass. Beginning on the
Fourth Sunday of Lent I wrote special chords to be
played at the end of each mass. You will note that
the chords become more dissonant with each week.
By Palm Sunday, the chords are very dissonant and
we end on a dissonant chord. This is to provide a
reminder of the growing tensions that Jesus faced in
his ministry leading up to Holy Thursday - His
accepting the cup from the Father; and Good
Friday – his death upon the cross.
There is also a history of bells being tolled at the end of
a funeral liturgy in the Catholic Church. Again, we toll
as a reminder of what is to come.
