The Liturgy of the Day
Every year on the Second
Sunday of Lent we hear the
story of Jesus’s transfiguration
from one of the Gospels. With
our Lenten journey so briefly
under way, we may need the
encouragement for what lies
ahead that the Transfiguration
story gives us. As Jesus was
transfigured and ultimately
triumphant over death, so may
our prayer today be that we too
will be transformed.
a la Liturgia del Día
En el Segundo Domingo de
Cuaresma de cada año escuchamos
el relato de la Transfiguración de
Jesús en alguno de los evangelios.
Apenas comenzando nuestra
peregrinación cuaresmal puede
que necesitemos el estímulo de
aquello que está por venir, lo cual
nos puede brindar la historia de la
Transfiguración. Jesús fue
transfigurado y venció la muerte
definitivamente; así pues, oremos
hoy para que también nosotros
seamos transformados.

HOMILIA DE HOY
Proyecto de Homilía
• Hoy, en este ciclo B, la
invitación cuaresmal a amar
según el amor de la alianza nos
destaca los Diez Mandamientos,
cuyo doble llamado a amar a
Dios y al prójimo se hace carne en la persona de
Jesús. En el ejemplo que nos da Jesús del amor
incondicional esta invitación se convierte en el
modelo imperecedero del compromiso bautismal
para los discípulos de Jesús.
• Nuestra cultura valora el mérito y adjudica
posiciones sociales en base a dónde y cómo uno
vive, los bienes que uno tiene y la ropa que uno
viste, cuánto tienes y cuánto gastas. Es por eso que
optar por dar la vida por alguien y perdonar a
nuestro verdugo seguramente parecerá “locura y
debilidad”. Sin embargo, y tal como nos recuerda
Pablo, Cristo crucificado optó por esta “locura”. La
fe cristiana proclama que Jesús es “la fuerza y la
sabiduría de Dios”.
• En el bautismo o en la renovación de las promesas
bautismales durante la próxima Vigilia Pascual
profesaremos nuestra fe en que “la locura de Dios es
más sabia que la sabiduría [humana]” y que “la
debilidad de Dios es más fuerte que la fuerza
[humana]”. Y aún más, nos comprometeremos a
actuar según la alianza revelada en los Diez
Mandamientos del Sinaí, y encarnados en la entrega
amorosa del sacrificio de Jesús. Por tanto, debemos
de darle buena acogida a la “limpieza de primavera”
en esta Cuaresma, como la limpieza que Jesús hace
en el templo de nuestra vida a fin de que nuestra
alabanza ascienda hacia Dios y podamos encontrar
nosotros, los agotados hijos e hijas de Dios, una
tregua en nuestras luchas. Sabiendo cuánta limpieza
hay que hacer para que eso suceda, cuán consolador
es que Jesús, según nos recuerda el Evangelio de
hoy, “no necesitaba que nadie le descubriera lo que
es el hombre”, sino que nos invita al discipulado y
nos ama incondicionalmente, porque “él sabía” lo
que hay en nuestra condición humana.
Pregunta de la Semana
¿Qué es lo que Jesús tiene que “echar” del templo
de mi alma, qué “mesas debe volcar” para
transformar mi corazón de ser un “mercado” y
convertirlo en “la casa de [su] Padre”?

First Family Gathering
Hour a Success!
The launch of our Corpus Christi
Family Gathering Hour held on
Sunday, Feb. 15 was very
encouraging. Parents and their
children enjoyed time socializing,
sharing in bagels and light
refreshments, and experiencing a
closer look into our Catholic
Christian faith.
During the adult faith formation
portion of the meeting our
Confirmation students provided
child care for the parent’s of young
children. The adult’s shared this
time watching a 12- minute video
exploring the meaning of our lives
which was followed by the
question; “How can living in the
present moment fill me with
greater joy, peace, conviction, and
love? The conversation was lively,
interesting and encouraging.
Mark your calenders for the next
Family Gathering Hour on Sunday,
March 15, from 9:15 a.m. until
10:15 a.m in the Parish Hall.
