Fr. Cesar Rubiano, ext. 119 (Pastoral Administrator) Rev. Fr. Raymond Hughes (Weekend Assistant) Rev. Fr. Philip Cordisco, O.Ss.T Mr. Guido Mattozzi, Deacon Mr. Benito Torres, Deacon Parish Overseers: Mr. & Mrs. Benedict & Clara Gioe Mr. & Mrs. Carlos & Maritza Lopez Mr. & Mrs. Robert & Barbara Sanna Today, we will look at some different things we might do to help make the Lenten season one of renewal for us. 1. During the Lenten season, we must abstain from eating meat on Fridays. Serving a meatless meal is meant to promote sacrifice. So, let’s not eat lobster or one of your favorite meatless meals on Fridays during Lent! Create a simple meal that will show a bit of self-denial. 2. During Lent, try to focus on others by avoiding the use of “I” or “me”. Perhaps, when you find yourself to be self-centered during Lent, you could make a donation to the poor boxes at Church. 3. Keep your Bible, rosary or other prayer books somewhere that will remind you to spend some time reading about Our Lord’s teachings and Pray, every day. 4. Give away three or more unneeded things each week for the rest of Lent to someone, or an Agency that will put the items to good use. As an added bonus, when Easter arrives, your house will be cleaned out. 5. Spend some time in silence during Lent. Turn off the television, radio, computer and cell phone. Just try being with and talking to God. 6. Look ahead to your calendar and reserve the Triduum dates—Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil. Set aside the time to participate in the activities our parish is planning. 7. Who do you “love the least” right now? Let us spend this day praying for our least favorite person and the grace to love him or her. 8. Loving your neighbors requires a choice to reach out to them with compassion. Take a moment today to do a kindness for a shut-in or lonely person in your neighborhood. 9. Like Mary, say yes in some new way during Lent to God’s will. 10. When we whine, the world looks dark. Put an imaginary piece of duct tape over your mouth and try not to complain during Lent and always. 11. Consider your use of money today. Do you share with the poor? What would Jesus do?

Page Two 2nd Sunday of Lent 594 TRANSFORMATION OR RENEWAL? Lent is an opportunity for transformation not only as a season in the Church, but also in the lives of each member. This story of the Transfiguration we read today is an inspiration to wish be one of those witnesses at the side of Jesus. The Apostles didn’t understand at their time. Nor did they understand the reference to Jesus rising from the dead – the ultimate transformation that was to come. It is something that is above time or space. . Some people follow the Lord, but do not allow themselves to be touched by Him, or even do not want to experience something like this. They made up their own agenda, spirituality, religion... The relationship with God is like a seduction that grows time by time always pursuing the Beloved. " O Lord, you have deceived me, and I was deceived; you are stronger than I, and you have prevailed." (Jer 20.7). Do not let yourself to be charmed and fooled by what is vain ... but put your eyes and your heart on what is Eternal! The disciples who experienced the transfiguration of Jesus had come down from the mountain and are getting back to normality. God wants us to be his witnesses in the WORLD: believe and know that God has destined us to great things. How can we transform ourselves during Lent? What do we have to do to turn ourselves from sin, the part of ourselves that pulls away from God? We believe and know that God has destined great things for us. We say that the transfiguration prepared In our worst moments of pain may we not think negatively but remember the encouragement we receive in Sacred Scripture and that God has destined the glory of the transfiguration for each of us in the next life. Abraham is a good example of endurance. We have always the victory if we believe in Him. Hold on to what it is worth, and remember God gives you power through the Spirit so you can change what you can, and be happy according to his will. LENT as a time of renewal recognized by the ability we have to be and to do better, to give more. The disciples could not exorcise the demon, because of their lack of faith, but we with the power of God, will be able to transform our lives and to outcast evil. When we live in the divine, then we begin to appreciate what we are and what we have. When I realize who I am, then I want my wife to be happier, my husband to succeed, my children to be protected. The Church is the place where not only you seek God, but where together you may feel a member of one of the most important communities, the body of Christ, which is always under the mantle of Our Lady of the Angeles. God bless you, Fr. Cesar Rubiano 594 01 March 2015 WAY OF THE CROSS (BILINGUAL) 6:30PM Every Friday during Lent Immaculate Conception Church The Lectio Divina: will be held in the sacristy at ICC on Fridays during Lent. English at 6pm before the Way of the Cross, Spanish after the service. Please register in the Parish Office. LENTEN REGULATIONS Here is what the Catholic Church in the United States asks of us as baptized Catholics: 1. The next day of fast (only one meal) and abstinence (no meat) is GOOD FRIDAY (3rd April 2015) 2. The other Fridays of lent are DAYS OF ABSTINENCE (No meat). Those between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast (only one full meal) as above. From the age of 14, people are also obliged to abstain (no meat: this obligation prohibits the eating of meat, but not eggs, milk products or condiments of any kind, even though made from animal fat). The obligation, the privilege really, of receiving the Eucharist at least once a year -- often called “Easter duty” --- for those in the state of grace should still be fulfilled during the period from the First Sunday of Lent, February 22nd to Trinity Sunday, May 31st, 2015. MEMORIAL OF ST. PATRICK The Parish Community of Our Lady of the Angels will celebrate the traditional Mass in Irish and English, on Tuesday, 17 March 2015 at 12:15PM at Immaculate Conception Church. Msgr. Michael Walsh will be the main celebrant. Any further information please call Rosemary McKeever at (609) 588-0482. Please come out and support this wonderful tradition of our Parish. A collection to support our parish will be taken up at the Mass. Di te dice il mio cuore: “Cercate il suo volto”. Il tuo volto io cerco, o Signore. Non nascondermi il tuo volto. (Sal 27,8-9) Page Three IL SIGNIFICATO DEL NOSTRO ASCOLTATE E SEGUITE “Questo e’ il mio amato Figlio. Ascoltatelo.” E lo ascoltarono. Da quel momento, Pietro, Giacomo e Giovanni furono ardenti seguaci, abbandonando tutto per seguire nelle orme del Maestro. Come il salmista che grida, “Signore, sono il tuo servo,” i tre discepoli si dedicarono ad una vita di incredibili difficolta’ ed indescrivibile gioia. Dopo quel giorno sulla montagna, essi non dubitarono mai la loro scelta vocazione. Per quanto le nostre prove son possano essere severe come quelle di Abramo, e la nostra maggiore esperienza non drammatica come la Trasfigurazione, noi tutti confrontiamo le sfide giornaliere di camminare ”davanti al Signore nella terra dei vivi”. Mentre seguiamo le nostre varie chiamate ad amare e servire, lasciamoci confortare dal sollecito di Paolo ai Romani “Se Dio e’ per noi, chi potra’ essere contro di noi?” ST. IGNATIUS LOYOLA: Lord, teach me to be generous. Teach me to serve you as you deserve; To give and not to count the cost; To fight and not to heed the wounds; To toil and not to seek for rest; To labor and not to ask for reward; Save that of knowing that I do your will. FOOD FOR THE NEEDY Our Lady of the Angels Parish will continue to collect food donations for the poor on the third weekend of each month. Next food collection 14/15 March 2015 INCLEMENT WEATHER In case of inclement weather on the weekend, we will have a special recording on the Parish Office number 609-695-6089 with any cancelation in mass schedule, should it be necessary.

He is known as the patron of the Universal Church. During this month, let us turn to him with some sign of devotion, love and veneration. A Solemn Mass will be celebrated at Saint Joachim Church at 7:00PM (Trilingual), with the traditional blessing and distribution of bread. The OLA Children Choir will be singing at this mass. Sweet Table will follow in Centennial Hall. IMPORTANT! CONFIRMATION RETREAT INFORMATION Please be advised that the students of Confirmation & R.C.I.A. will be having a retreat in preparation for their Confirmation celebration. The retreat will be held on two days: Friday March 20, 2015 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m, and Saturday, March 21, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The retreat will conclude with Mass at 4:00 p.m. for all students, parents and sponsors. The location of the retreat will be at Our Lady of the Angels Parish, Saint Joachim Church. 594 READING OF THE DAY LISTEN AND FOLLOW “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” And listen they did. From that moment on, Peter, James, and John were ardent followers, forsaking everything to follow in their Master’s footsteps. Like the psalmist crying, “O Lord, I am your servant,” the three disciples committed themselves to lives of incredible hardship and indescribable joy. After that day on the mountain, they never again wavered in their chosen vocation. Though our tests may not be as severe as Abraham’s and our peak experiences not as dramatic as the Transfiguration, we all face the daily challenges of walking “before the Lord in the land of the living.” As we follow our varied calls to love and serve, let’s be comforted by Paul’s reminder to the Romans: “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Reading: Genesis 22:1-2; Second Reading: Romans 8:31b-34; Gospel: Mark 9:2-10 Abraham offers the ultimate sacrifice of thanksgiving, the gift of his very son. This sacrifice prefigures the sacrifice of Jesus who died for us all. In his transfiguration, Jesus discloses a suffering messiahship. From ORDO 2015 REFLECTION QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK ADULT: Name a time this past week when you recognized Jesus’ presence. CHILD: Name o draw a picture of a time you knew that Jesus was with you.

Psalm 27:(26):8-9) 594 1 de Marzo de 2015 Página Cinco TRANSFORMARSE O RENOVARSE? Cuaresma es un tiempo de transformación en la Iglesia. Que podría ser más motivante que escuchar hoy la historia de la Transfiguración. En Marcos tiene una conexión directa con la resurrección pero los discípulos en este momento no lo entendieron. Lo mismo sucede con nosotros. No entendemos que estamos llamados a transformarnos de este mundo en algo que es grandioso y magnifico en las esfera de lo que está más allá de lo espacial y temporal. Algunas personas siguen al Señor, pero no se dejan tocar por Él, o más aún no quieren tocarlo…La relación con Dios, es como una seducción que va acrecentando nuestro interés cada vez más por el Amado. “Me sedujiste Señor, y me deje seducir” (Jer 20,7). No te dejes encantar por lo que es pasajero y vano…pon tus ojos y tu corazón en lo que verdaderamente vale! Los discípulos que experimentaron la transfiguración de Jesús tenían que bajar la montaña y volver a la normalidad. Dios nos quiere como sus testigos en el MUNDO: creemos y sabemos que Dios nos ha destinado a grandes cosas. Hermanos y hermanas, no cantemos victoria. Después de la transfiguración viene el escándalo de la cruz. A veces nuestros peores momentos de dolor, empañan el gozo y la alegría precedentes. Nunca sabemos que nos depara el futuro; pero siempre podremos estar seguros de con quién podemos contar en el pasado, el presente y el futuro. Transformarnos es también reconocer la capacidad que tenemos de ser mejores, de poder más, de dar más. Los discípulos no pudieron exorcizar el demonio, pues les faltaba fe. Pero nosotros con el poder de Dios, seremos capaces de transformar nuestras vidas. Abraham recibió abundancias porque supo esperar, y no fue solo con el perdón de la vida de su hijo, sino con las bendiciones abundantes que llegarían a otras generaciones. Vuelvo a decirlo. Aférrate a lo que vale, y recuerda Dios te da el poder por medio del Espíritu para que puedas cambiar, y ser feliz. Cuando vivimos en un sentido mayor hacia lo divino, comenzaremos entonces a valorar más lo que somos como humanos. Y cuando me doy cuenta de quién soy, es entonces cuando quiero que el otro progrese, que mi mujer esté más contenta, que mi marido se supere, que mis hijos se vean protegidos siempre. La Iglesia es un punto de encuentro donde no solo buscas a Dios, sino donde juntos con tus hermanas y hermanos te sientes miembro de una de las comunidades más importantes, la del cuerpo de Cristo, que se ampara bajo el manto de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles. Dios les bendiga.

NORMAS DE LA IGLESIA DURANTE LA CUARESMA Este tiempo que culmina el Jueves Santo (2 de abril), es un tiempo de penitencia, sacrificio, oración y caridad cristiana. Las siguientes son normas específicas de nuestra Diócesis durante la temporada de Cuaresma: 1. Los días de ayuno y abstinencia siguiente es Viernes (Santo 3 de abril) 2. Todos los viernes de Cuaresma son días de abstinencia, es decir que toda persona de 14 años o mayor no deberá comer carne, ni salsas hechas con carne. 3. Los viernes del año, fuera del Tiempo de Cuaresma son designados días de penitencia, (algún tipo de sacrificio voluntario como abstinencia de carne u otros). Aquellas personas entre los 18 y 59 años de edad están obligadas a ayunar, es decir, podrán comer sólo una comida completa al día. Si gozan de buena salud, los mayores de 59 años pueden también hacer este sacrificio. De ti mi corazón me habla diciendo: "Busca su rostro". Tu rostro estoy buscando, Señor; no me lo escondas. (Salmo 26, 8-9) 594 LECTURA DEL DÍA ESCUCHA Y SIGUE “Este es mi Hijo amado; escúchenlo”. Y sí que lo escucharon. Desde ese momento, Pedro, Santiago y Juan fueron sus ardientes seguidores, desechándolo todo para seguir las huellas del Maestro. Tal como proclama el salmista, “Señor, he aquí tu servidor”, los tres discípulos se comprometieron a vidas de increíbles penurias e indescriptible gozo. Después de ese día en la montaña, nunca más dudaron de la vocación escogida. Aunque nuestras pruebas no sean tan severas como la de Abraham, ni nuestros momentos sublimes tan dramáticos como la Transfiguración, todos confrontamos los retos cotidianos de caminar “en presencia del Señor en el país de la vida”. Mientras seguimos nuestros diversos llamados a amar y servir, seamos confortados por lo que Pablo les recuerda a los romanos: “Si Dios está a nuestro favor, ¿quién estará en contra nuestra?” COLECTA MENSUAL DE ALIMENTOS Agradecemos a todos aquellos que participan por su generosidad para con nuestros hermanos necesitados.

Servir la comida sin carne es promover el sacrificio, así que, no es para que se coma una langosta o una de sus cenas favoritas sin carne los viernes de Cuaresma. Mejor preparar un plato simple para demostrarse el renuncio a sí mismo. 2. Durante la Cuaresma trate de enfocarse en los demás y evitar usar “YO” o “MÍ”. Quizás cuando se dé cuenta durante esta Cuaresma de que es un poco egoísta puedas hacer una donación a la caja de los pobres en la Iglesia. 3. Mantenga su Biblia, rosario o libros de oración en un lugar donde los pueda ver y recordarse dedicar un tiempo en oración o leyendo sobre las enseñanzas de nuestro Señor todo los días. 4. Regálele tres o más de sus pertenencias que no necesites cada semana de Cuaresma a alguien o a una agencia que ayuda a los necesitados, y como bono al llegar la Pascua su casa estará limpia. 5. Pasar un tiempo en silencio durante esta Cuaresma. Apague el televisor, el radio, la computadora y su celular. Trate solamente estar y hablar con Dios. 6. Revise su calendario y reserve las fechas del Triduo Pascual – el Jueves Santo, Vienes Santo y el Sábado Santo/Vigilia Pascual. Anticipe el tiempo para participar en las actividades que la parroquia está programando. 7. ¿Quién es la persona que menos quieres en este momento? Tome este día para orar por esa persona “menos favorita” y pedir por la gracia de poder amarlo o amarla. 8. Querer el prójimo requiere de su voluntad para acercársele a esa persona con compasión. Tome un poco de tiempo hoy para hacer una caridad por una persona sola o enferma de su vecindad. 9. Como María, de él “si” de manera nueva durante esta Cuaresma a la voluntad de Dios. 10. Cuando nos quejamos el mundo se ve oscuro. Imagínese un pedazo de cinta adhesiva sobre su boca y trate de no quejarse durante la Cuaresma y siempre. 11. Considere su uso del dinero hoy. ¿Compartes con los pobres? ¿Qué haría Jesús? 594 01 March 2015 Page Eleven OUR LADY OF THE ANGELS PARISH ORGANIZATION & COMMUNITY PARISHES NEWS LADIES OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT: Next Corp.
