From the Pastor’s Desk… The Scriptures contain countless stories on the faith journey of God's people, both in the Old and

New Testaments. Today, the second Sunday of Lent, we read about Abraham, often referred to as

the "father of faith", who demonstrated once again his absolute faith in God as he unquestion-

ingly prepared to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. Many questions must have run through his

mind, but in faith, he was ready to follow God's command. God was pleased with Abraham's

response, spared Isaac and blessed Abraham abundantly for his obedience. How do we respond

to God's "demands" from us that seem unreasonable?

In the second reading, Paul spoke of perseverance in faith. In the early days of the Church, there

was much persecution and many of the converts feared losing their lives. Addressing this issue,

Paul told the community that" If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Rom 8:31). He

further assured them that God, "who did not spare his own Son, but handed him over for us all"

would do everything to save them and supply all their needs. They had absolutely nothing to fear.

On what or on whom do we rely for security in our lives?

Today´s Gospel reading from Mark narrated Jesus' Transfiguration on Mount Tabor. He revealed

the real meaning of His call, life and mission to Peter, John and James so they could follow and

continue to spread Jesus' message upon coming back from the mountain top. In addition, Jesus

showed Himself in his glory to strengthen their faith since in a few days, they would witness

Jesus' voluntary suffering, passion and death on the cross. How do we react to suffering? How

does Jesus' Transfiguration inspire us to live our lives so we, too, can share His glory one

day?

The first and second readings this Sunday assured God's people of His compassionate caring. We

too can be assured that this same God loves us and cares for each and every one of us! And as

God proclaimed in the Gospel “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him” (Mk 9:6), He likewise

enjoins us to be attentive to Jesus' voice. Lent is a special time to do that. Let us keep in mind

that He alone has the words of eternal life.

God bless you!

Fr. John Francis

Second Sunday of lent

Over the years St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church has been greatly blessed with adults seeking full initiation in the Catholic Church, those, Christian but not Catholic, desiring to come into full communion in the Catholic Church, and those completing their initiation through Confirmation and the Eucharist. All of this is an integral part of the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults). During Lent there are a number of ritual celebra-tions as these adults continue their intense preparation for the Easter Sacraments. This past Sunday during the 10:45 Mass, we witnessed two of our adults celebrate the Rite of Sending to the Rite of Election in Brooklyn with Bishop DeMarzio presid-ing. On page 16 of this week’s “Tablet” we see our two catechu-mens, now Elect: in the very first row is Thusara Welagedara with his sponsor and Angel Melendez along with Emy Pun-salan, one of our RCIA catechists. This Sunday our candidates will celebrate their Rite of Sending for the Celebration of their Call to Continuing Conversion. In the past both these celebra-tions took place on the first Sunday of Lent at the former Bishop Ford High School. However, this year these celebrations are being celebrated separately: last Sunday only for the catechu-mens (those non-baptized) and this Sunday the parishes have a choice of sending their candidates to one of three sites: St. Tho-mas, Flatlands; Immaculate Conception, Douglaston; and our own dear St. Nicholas of Tolentine. So this afternoon at 3:00 we are hosting this celebration with Bishop Witold Mroziewski presiding. A number of times in these rituals, we are reminded of the parish community’s support of prayer for our Elect and Candidates. Please try to consciously remember them in prayer.

God bless you!

Sister Alice Michael, S.U.S.C. Director of Faith Formation

A lo largo de los años, la Iglesia de San Nicolás de Tolentine ha sido bendecida con adultos que buscan la plena iniciación en la Iglesia Católica, aquellos cristianos pero no católicos que desean entrar en plena comunión en la Iglesia Católica y aquellos que completan su iniciación a través de la Confirmación y la Eucaristía. Todo esto es una parte integral del RICA (Rito de Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos). Durante la Cuaresma hay una serie de celebraciones rituales a medida que estos adultos continúan su intensa preparación para los Sacramentos de Pascua. El domingo pasado, durante la misa de las 10:45, presenciamos a dos de nuestros adultos celebrar el rito de envío al rito de las elecciones en Brooklyn con la presi-dencia del obispo DeMarzio. En la página 16 de la "Tablet" de esta semana vemos a nuestros dos catecúmenos, ahora elegidos: en la primera fila está Thusara Welagedara con su madrina y Angel Melendez junto con Emy Punsalan, uno de nuestros catequistas de RICA. Este domingo, nuestros candidatos celebrarán su rito de envío para la celebración de su llamado a la conversión continua. En el pasado, ambas celebraciones tuvieron lugar el primer domingo de Cuaresma en la antigua Bishop Ford High School. Sin embargo, este año estas celebraciones se celebran por separado: el domingo pasado solo para los catecúmenos (los no bautizados) y este domingo las parroquias tienen la opción de enviar a sus candidatos a uno de los tres sitios: St. Thomas, Flatlands; Inmaculada Concepción, Douglaston; y nuestro querido San Nicolás de Tolentino. Así que esta tarde a las 3:00 seremos el anfitrión de esta celebración con la presidencia del Obispo Witold Mroziewski. Varias veces en estos rituales, se nos recuerda el apoyo de la comunidad parroquial a la oración por nuestros Electores y Candidatos. Intenta recordarlos conscientemente en oración.

¡Dios te bendiga!

Lenten Regulations

ABSTINENCE – All the faithful who have reached 14 years of age are required to abstain totally from meat on Ash Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent.

This practice involves limiting oneself to a single full meal and avoiding food between meals. Light sustenance may also be taken on two other occasions during the day.
