Second Sunday of Lent
March 1, 2015
ENTRANCE ANTIPHON
WORD OF LIFE
“Our culture...has become hardened to many who cry out. We idolize the strong and beautiful
and tend to disregard the weak and imperfect. In our own lives, have we been programed not to
call for help ourselves or to look past those who do?”
~Learning to Cry, Life Issues Forum, December 19,2014, Tom Grenchik USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities
WELCOME
ORDER OF WORSHIP
The parishioners of St. Andrew Catholic Church are
happy to extend a warm welcome to the many visitors
who join us for worship today.
March 1, 2015 Second Sunday of Lent
Introit Antiphon
Liturgy of the Word
St. Andrew Parish,
a Roman Catholic community, seeks to nurture the faith and
serve the needs of parishioners and visitors by proclaiming
the Gospel of Jesus Christ through active stewardship,
ministries of word and sacrament, programs of Christian
formation, and works of charity and justice.
Readings (Genesis 22:1-2, 9a, 10-13, 15-18, & Romans 8:31b-34)…..887
Psalmody.....................................................Psalm 116
I will walk before the Lord,
in the land of the living.
GUIDELINES FOR THE RECEPTION OF
HOLY COMMUNION
As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of
the Mass when we receive Holy Communion, the true
Body and Blood of the Lord. Yet, we Catholics should
receive Holy Communion only when we are living in
communion with the Catholic Church and in the state
of sanctifying grace and have made the appropriate
fast from food and drink.
Because of the connection we draw between being in
full communion with the Catholic Church and
receiving Holy Communion, we cannot invite those
who are not Catholic to share in Holy Communion
with us. Still, we welcome all to this celebration of the
Mass as our brothers and sisters, and pray that our
common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit will
one day draw us closer “…that all may be one.”
(John 17:22)

Dear St. Andrew Friends,
I will be retiring at the end of this academic year. It has been an
honor and a joy to serve as Principal of this fine school for the past 19 years.
I have been inspired and encouraged by your warm and continuous support.
We are currently conducting a search for a new Principal. Please pray for
our school and for the success of our search.

ST. ANDREW CATHOLIC SCHOOL WALKS TO STAMP OUT HUNGER
On a cold, but sunny January day, the students, teachers, parents and friends of our school took a
long walk on the beach to raise money to combat hunger in our area. The funds will be donated to
the Community Kitchen and Helping Hand, two organizations that do so much to fight hunger and
poverty in Horry County. Older students helped the younger ones, and a sense of community and
purpose were generated during this school wide service project. After all the money was tallied, this
event raised almost $10,000!

CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
Big News:
the Catechism of the Catholic Church
is back
in the Pews! 5683 went home already!
One of the greatest achievements of Pope John Paul II was
the promulgation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
This Catechism will serve as the standard for all future
catechisms. “A sure norm for teaching the Faith”, as the
Pope said.
Please take and study this Catechism in your own home.
This Catechism costs $5.00 each. Inside the front cover of
each book you will find an ENVELOPE as follows:
Dear Sister or Brother in Christ:
This Catechism of the Catholic Church is a most
handy summary of the Faith that we profess as
Christians. We hope you will take it to your home and
read it.
We would thank you for helping out with the costs of
this ministry - at $5.00 for each copy of this Catechism if you are able to donate that amount (or more, or less)
by placing your donation in this envelope and then into
the collection basket.
Be blessed in the study of your Catechism.

DERECHO A LA VIDA
Cuando el gobierno ve a un ecologista jugarse la
vida por un huevo de halcón, ve en él un héroe,
y cuando ve a un pro-vida en la puerta de una
clínica abortista, ve en él a un fanático.

LA TRANSFIGURACION DEL SEÑOR (Evangelio de San Marcos 9, 2‐10) Queridos Hermanos:
La Liturgia de este Domingo nos presenta la Fiesta de la
Transfiguración del Señor. Jesús les da a entender a sus
Apóstoles, que es indispensable experimentar el
sufrimiento para llegar a la gloria de la resurrección. En
esta gran fiesta religiosa podemos meditar y reflexionar
varios aspectos:
1-Jesús,
a
quien
tildan
de
"conflictivo,
incomprendido,
blasfemo,
loco,
borracho,
endemoniado; es reconocido en la Liturgia de este
Domingo, como El Hijo de Dios. "Este es mi Hijo muy
amado escúchenlo". Jesús predica un Reino de Dios
lleno de amor, rompiendo muchos intereses políticos,
religiosos y personales. Jesús se da a conocer como el
Mesías, pero no un mesías como el que piensa Pedro:
"un mesías triunfalista". Sino un Mesías que padece y
que sufre, y que luego muere en una cruz.
2-Es una manifestación de Dios. Es una revelación
divina en Jesús y para los Apóstoles. La identidad de
Jesús y su camino como Mesías, no es una simple
revelación de conociemiento, sino que se convierte en
norma de vida:
"Este es mi Hijo muy Amado,
escúchenlo". Por lo tanto, toda revelación cristiana tiene
incidencia en la vida, de lo contrario, no es revelación
liberadora.
3-Para Israel; La montaña, en su soledad e
inmensidad, es el lugar donde se revela Dios; donde
los ojos ven algo nuevo y diferente, donde uno recibe el
don de ver las cosas y la historia, a través de la mirada de
Dios.
4-En el centro de esta fiesta religiosa, está Jesús
como el verdadero Mesías a quien debemos seguir.
5-Al lado de Jesús; aparecen Moisés y Elías,
conversando con El. Es decir; Moisés y Elias, en
representación de la Ley y los Profetas, dan testimonio,
de que Jesús es el Mesías, el Señor.
6-Este episodio sobrenatural y divino; se cubre a
través de una nube resplandeciente; expresión de la
Divinidad de Dios. Del interior y profundidad de esa nube,
sale aquella voz majestuosa y divina: "Este es mi Hijo, mi
Amado, mi Elegido, Escúchenlo". Es decir; el Padre
Celestial, confirma a Jesús ante los Apóstoles, como el
Mesías y Redentor, dándoles a entender, que Jesús está
por encima de Moisés, Elías y demás profetas.
7-No es extraño, que los Apóstoles se quiera quedar
allí en aquel monte santo: "Maestro qué bueno es
estar aquí, hagamos tres chozas..." El querer quedarse
allí experimentando solamente la felicidad, es la manera
de no entender a Jesús muriendo en la cruz.
Tenemos que bajar del monte, para seguir nuestro rumbo,
nuestro camino, nuestra vida diaria, aceptando el
sufrimiento, el dolor y las adversidades de la vida. Es
importante aceptar y vivir el sufrimiento para llegar a la
felicidad.
Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que Ella, nos ayude a
vivir con paciencia las adversidades de nuestra vida, y así
un día, Jesús nos lleve al Reino de los Cielos, donde
experiemtaremos la felicidad eterna.
Dios los bendiga. Padre Orlando.
