Psalm – I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living (Psalm 116). Second Reading – If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31b-34). Gospel – Jesus was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white (Mark 9:2-10). SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Second Sunday of Lent; Penitential Rite for Candidates for Full Communion Tuesday: St. Katharine Drexel Wednesday: St. Casimir; Purim (Jewish observance) begins at sunset Friday: First Friday; World Day of Prayer; Abstinence Friday: Ss. Perpetua and Felicity; First Saturday 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?" THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY !

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Within the tradition of the Christian church, there are differing ways of observing a Lenten fast. For Eastern Catholics and Orthodox, the discipline is close to our understanding of "abstinence." Certain foods are eliminated from the diet entirely. The rules are basically monastic rules, and the customs of a monastery table are embraced in the home. This year, "Meatfare Sunday" is February 26, and it is the last time that meat is admitted to the diet until Easter. The following Sunday, known as "Cheesefare Sunday," takes cheese and all dairy products from the table. It is also known as "forgiveness Sunday" because a true fast is about crowning life with love, holding back harsh words, and cutting off anger.

We don't count Sundays as fast days, but Eastern Christians fast through the weekends. People are expected to come as close to the ideal as possible, and the Lenten services keep reminding them not to take pride in their fasting, since the devil himself never eats! What's left on the menu? Grains, vegetables, eggs (maybe), and fish. Imagine the joys of the Easter table after such a fast! --Rev. James Field Prayer of the Faithful for the Sick J.J.

Salmo — Siempre confiaré en el Señor (Salmo 116 [115]). Segunda lectura — Dios entregó a su único Hijo para que ahora interceda por nosotros (Romanos 8:31b-34). Evangelio — Jesús, acompañado por Elías y Moisés, se transforma de manera luminosa LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Martes: Miércoles: Viernes: Saturday: Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma; Rito Penitencial Santa. Katharine Drexel San Casimiro; Purim (festividad judía) comienza al atardecer Primer viernes; Jornada Mundial de Oración; Abstinencia Santa Perpetua y santa Felici dad; Primer sábado 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?" St. Barbara Catholic Church TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Cuando Jesús se transfiguró sobre la cima de un monte, Pedro, reconociendo que algo sagrado ocurría en ese lugar quiso construir tres chozas. Como si buscara hacer un santuario, un lugar santo, donde Dios se manifestara de manera particular. El santuario puede ser el lugar entero o sólo parte de un edificio. En nuestras iglesias, el santuario es el presbiterio donde se encuentra el altar mayor, donde son consagrados el pan y el vino. iglesias antiguas como las Basílicas romanas tienen un segundo santuario que es la capilla donde se reserva el Santísimo Sacramento en el tabernáculo o sagrario. Los santuarios más importantes de la cristiandad se encuentran en Palestina. Europa tiene varios santuarios como la tumba de Santiago en Compostela, España. Algunos santuarios famosos de América son los de Guadalupe (México), Teresa de los Andes (Chile), Señor de los Milagros (Perú), Cristo Negro de Esquipulas (Guatemala), Montserrat (Colombia) y el de la Divina Misericordia (Chicago). Todo santuario es un lugar donde se une el recuerdo y la vivencia contemporánea de la fe, son lugares donde la Iglesia institucional y la religión popular conviven y se enriquecen mutuamente. –Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM.
