Romero Celebration - March 13th - 12:30pm
On Sunday, March 13th our Salvadoran Community will
host our parish’s annual celebration in honor of Blessed
Bishop Oscar Romero. Mass will begin at 12:30pm and
Bishop Gregorio Rosa Chavez will celebrate the Mass.
Bishop Gregorio Rosa Chávez is the Auxiliary Bishop
from San Salvador. Bishop Rosa Chávez feels a deep
personal connection to Blessed Romero. Many see him
as the carrier of Romero’s torch of justice and peace.
Bishop Rosa Chávez is profoundly connected to the
struggles of his people. Bishop Rosa Chávez has been
the guest speaker at the Romero Celebrations in
Kansas City in 2008, 2010 and 2013. We are humbled
that he accepted the invitation once again to join us on
this 36th anniversary.
Blessed Óscar Arnulfo Romero (August 15, 1917 March 24, 1980) was a prominent Roman Catholic
priest in El Salvador during the 1960s and 1970s,
becoming Archbishop of San Salvador in 1977. After
witnessing numerous violations of human rights, he
began to speak out on behalf of the poor and the
victims of repression. This led to numerous conflicts,
both with the government in El Salvador and within the
Catholic Church. After speaking out against U.S.
military support for the government of El Salvador, and
calling for soldiers to disobey orders to fire on innocent
civilians, Archbishop Romero was shot dead while
celebrating Mass at the small chapel of the cancer
hospital where he lived.
Bilingual Story Time
The Belton Library is coming to St. Sabina the second
Thursday of every month to present story time in
English and Spanish for pre-school age children.
Please plan on joining us on March 10th at 10am in the
Juan Diego Room in the Education Wing. You are
invited to bring a toy and stay for an hour of play after
Story Time.

Parish Happenings and Information
Guidelines for Fast and Abstinence During Lent
Abstinence: Abstinence is a penitential practice consisting of refraining from the consumption of meat and is to be
observed by all Catholics who are 14 years of age and older. Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and the Fridays
during Lent are days of abstinence.
Fast and Abstinence: In addition to abstinence, fasting is to be observed by all Catholics between the ages of 1859 years (inclusive). On days of fasting, one full meal is allowed. Two smaller meals, sufficient to maintain strength,
may be taken according to one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals
is not permitted, but liquids are allowed. Note: If a person is unable to observe the above regulations due to ill
health or other serious reasons, they are urged to practice other forms of self-denial that are suitable to their
condition. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of Fasting.
Stations of the Cross
Stations of the Cross will be prayed on Fridays during Lent, February 12 - March 18th. They will be prayed in
English at 6pm each Friday and in Spanish at 7pm. All parishioners are invited to attend.
Lenten Reconciliation Service
We will have our Lenten Reconciliation Service on Tuesday, March 8, at

Year of Mercy at St. Sabina
‘I have decided to announce an
Extraordinary Jubilee which has at its

of the word of the Lord: “Be merciful, even
as your Father is merciful” (cf. Lk 6:36).’
-Pope Francis

HEALTH CHECKLIST What’s My Blood Pressure? If you don’t know
your numbers, you could be among the 78 million American adults
who have hypertension. That’s not a group you want to belong to.
High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for stroke.
Everyone should track their BP and that includes young adults. One
study found that 19 percent of people ages 24-32 had dangerously
elevated levels. A healthy blood pressure falls below 120/80.
Am I Managing My Stress? The fact that stress is bad for your
health is no surprise, but a recent study found that women who
experienced a greater number of stressors (work problems, divorce,
family illness) in middle age were more likely to develop dementia.
Chronic stress may trigger the production of inflammatory
compounds and damage areas of the brain linked to memory.

MEET YOUR WELLNESS GOALS. COME ON IN!

LENTEN
CONCERT
FEATURING
STEVE
COURTNEY AND FRIENDS
Friday Evening, March 4, 7:00 P.M. at Church of the
Ascension, Overland Park, KS
Not everyone knows that one of the meanings of Lent is
“Springtime”—a time for new life and growth. The
penitential element of Lent helps us to clear out
whatever might keep us from growing in the knowledge,
love and joy of Jesus—whatever gets in the way of “A
Life Worth Living!”
Steve Courtney, Fr. Kent O’Connor, Ellen Tuttle, Mark
Fortino, Dorothy Brandwein and other singers will
present this Lenten concert which is anything BUT
“solemn” and “serious”. This inspirational concert will be
enjoyed by all ages, so bring the whole family and tell
your friends, as well. There is no admission but
donations will be accepted to benefit the Archdiocesan
Retreat House—Christ’s Peace, House of Prayer.

Stewardship
“As they were about to part from him, Peter said to
Jesus, ‘Master, it is good that we are here; let us
make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and
one for Elijah.’ But he did not know what he was
saying. While he was still speaking, a cloud came
and cast a shadow over them, and they became
frightened when they entered the cloud. Then from
the cloud came a voice that said, ‘This is my chosen
Son; listen to him.’”
Luke 9: 33-35
The description of the Transfiguration occurs in all
three Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke).
This is a proclamation of the Lord’s divinity. It is
intended for all of us. In fact, each of us is invited,
just as Peter, James, and John are, to become a
part of this experience. We are called to conversion
and witness of the truth. That is what Lent should
be all about for us. The stewardship message is that
we need to strive for conversion, for grasping the
hope offered by Christ. — See more at

Catholic Charities Emergency Assistance Fund
During this Jubilee Year, Catholics are called to
remember and perform Corporal Works of Mercy. These
include feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless and
giving alms to the poor. The Catholic Charities
Emergency Assistance Fund (CCEAF) special

efforts to provide urgently needed food, rental and utility
assistance to thousands of our brothers and sisters
living in poverty throughout Northwest Missouri. CCEAF
funds are distributed among nearly 40 parish-supported
food pantries and emergency assistance sites in our
diocese to help people with their most basic human
needs.
Join us in showing others the mercy of God through this
authentic act of love. Please prayerfully consider
making a gift to the CCEAF special collection on
Saturday, February 20 or Sunday, February 21. Or,
you
can

Reflection on the Readings
The gospel for the second Sunday of
Lent always narrates the Lord’s
transfiguration. Why does the
lectionary
move
from
the
temptations of Jesus on the first
Sunday of Lent to an account of the
Lord’s glorification? If Lent is
supposed to focus on the difficulty of
the Christian journey and our need
to struggle to get back on course
with God, then why highlight
glorification themes?
The readings for first two Sundays of
Lent reflect two most important
Lenten themes. On the first Sunday,
Jesus’ temptations remind us of the
constant struggle and striving that is
integral to living our Christian lives
faithfully.
The
Transfiguration
reminds us that we are assured
victory in our struggle because our
Lord has gone before us and already
conquered sin and death.
While we struggle on our faith
journey, we trust and hope in the
victory already won for us by the
Risen Christ. Attuning ourselves to
Jesus’ wisdom and guidance is
essential. We are called to “listen” to
Jesus for it is only in following that
sure path that we are assured
resurrection. This trust enables us to
sing the refrain from responsorial
Psalm 27 with great confidence and
joy, “The Lord is my life and my
salvation.”
In the first reading from Genesis,
Abram becomes a model of trust for
all. Even though he had no children,
Abram believed God’s promises that
his descendants would be as
numerous as the stars, even though
there was nothing tangible that
Abram could grasp. “Abram put his
faith in the Lord, who credited it to
him as an act of righteousness.”
Dwelling in that trust enabled Abram
to enter more deeply in relationship
with God, and to experience both
God’s abiding presence and God’s
covenant love.
Paul’s letter to the Philippians
calls us to imitate Paul’s trust and
confidence in God, thus reflecting
that trust in all our conduct and
relationships. Those who do not
trust God see nothing beyond this
life, and are caught up in
concerns and actions that lead
them away from God. Those
whose “citizenship is in heaven”
occupy themselves with concerns
and actions that imitate the Lord
Jesus. Because of this trust and
corresponding
lifestyle,
we
become transformed in and
through Christ, who will bring
about our ultimate union with God
for all eternity.

Bible Study
Catholics are mostly exposed to the
Bible through the Sunday Lectionary
Readings. In order to help us all enter
into the Bible through the Sunday
readings, we are offering study sessions
that will provide an opportunity to read,
to study background to the readings, and
to reflect on how to apply the readings to
our lives. We will gather on March 6th
& 20th at 10:30am. All are welcome.
Bring a Bible and a friend. To register for
these sessions, please call Biagio at 816
-979-3153.
Luke’s transfiguration scene has
Jesus conversing with Moses and
Elijah concerning his “exodus that
he was going to accomplish in
Jerusalem.” That “exodus” will
involve the difficult path of arrest,
suffering and death. Jesus’ trust
in God strengthens him for the
difficult journey ahead. That trust
transforms and deepens Jesus’
desire and willingness to attune
himself to God. His very body
manifests that trust and love. Jesus
comes down from the mountain to
undertake his journey to Jerusalem
with great trust. Dare we respond to
God’s challenge to “listen” to Jesus
as he goes about his “exodus” to
Jerusalem?
always be a part of Christian living.
However, in living a life modeled on
Jesus, all struggles, and even death,
will ultimately be transformed into
victory and life. That is why, on this
second Sunday of Lent, we can
boldly and confidently proclaim our
responsorial psalm, “The Lord is my
light and my salvation.”

Reflexión Sobre las Lecturas
El Evangelio del segundo Domingo
de Cuaresma siempre narra la
transfiguración del Señor. ¿Por qué
el
leccionario
pasa
de
las
tentaciones de Jesús en el primer
Domingo de Cuaresma a una cuenta
de la glorificación del Señor? Si se
supone que la Cuaresma se centra
en la dificultad de la jornada
Cristiana y nuestra necesidad de
luchar para volver a la ruta con Dios,
entonces ¿por qué recalcar temas
de glorificación?
Las lecturas de los dos primeros
Domingos de Cuaresma reflejan las
dos temas más importantes de la
Cuaresma. El primer Domingo, las
tentaciones de Jesús nos recuerdan
de la lucha y el esfuerzo constante
que es una parte integral para vivir
nuestra vida Cristiana fielmente. La
Transfiguración nos recuerda que
tenemos asegurada la victoria en
nuestra lucha porque nuestro Señor
nos ha precedido y ya ha
conquistado el pecado y la muerte.
Mientras luchamos en nuestro
camino de fe, confiamos y
esperamos en que la victoria ya ha
sido ganado para nosotros por el
Cristo resucitado. Sintonizarnos a la
sabiduría y la orientación de Jesús
es esencial. Estamos llamados a
"escuchar" a Jesús, porque es sólo
en seguir ese camino seguro que
nos asegura la resurrección. Esta
confianza nos permite cantar el
estribillo del Salmo Responsorial 27
con gran confianza y alegría, "El
Señor es mi luz y mi salvación."
En la primera lectura del Génesis,
Abram se convierte en un modelo de
confianza para todos. A pesar de
que no tenía hijos, Abram creyó las
promesas de Dios que sus
descendientes serían tan numerosos
como las estrellas, a pesar de que
no había nada tangible que Abram
podía agarrar. "Abram creyó lo que
el Señor le decía y, por esa fe, el

Fondo de Asistencia de Emergencia de
Caridades Católicas
Durante este año jubilar, los católicos estamos llamados
a recordar y realizar Obras de Misericordia Corporales.
Estos incluyen dar de comer al hambriento, dar techo y
limosna a los pobres.
La colecta especial del Fondo de Asistencia de
Emergencia de Caridades Católicas (CCEAF) es una
oportunidad para hacer eso, apoyando a nuestros
esfuerzos para proporcionar alimentos de urgencia,
alquiler y asistencia de servicios públicos a miles de
nuestros hermanos y hermanas que viven en la pobreza
en todo el noroeste de Missouri. Fondos CCEAF se
distribuyen cerca de 40 bancos de alimentos apoyados
por parroquias y sitios de asistencia de emergencia en
nuestra diócesis para ayudar a la gente con las
necesidades humanas mas básicas.
Únase a nosotros en mostrar a otros la misericordia de
Dios a través de este auténtico acto de amor. Por favor
considere en oración hacer un regalo a la colecta
