SCRIPTURE READINGS AND INTENTIONS

P A R I S H C A L E N D A R


Second Sunday of Lent

(Readings: Genesis 22:1-2, 9A, 10-13, 15-18 — Romans 8:31B-34 — Mark 9:2-10) The Son — At the conclusion of the dramatic story of what transpired on a mountain in the land of Moriah, Isaac’s life is spared, a substitute is found for the holocaust, and Abraham, who was willing to offer up his beloved son at God’s command, is rewarded for his unstinting faith. In Old Testament and New Testament

times, the place where it was believed Abraham went to sacrifice his son continued to be venerated. The Tem-ple of Jerusalem was built there. In our second reading, St. Paul alludes indirectly to another small mount

within easy walking distance of the Temple. The evangelists call it Golgotha. And on an unnamed mountain, somewhere in Galilee, Jesus appeared in his glory, along with Moses and Elijah. These various elements all

find a resonance at yet another mountain, in the French alps, called La Salette. In remembrance of the Passion of Jesus, the Beautiful Lady wears a large crucifix on her breast. It is the brightest point in the Apparition, the source of its light. The hammer and pincers, instruments of the Passion, draw attention to it in a unique way. Reminding us of the covenant proclaimed through Moses, and calling us to the steadfast commitment of Eli-

jah, she speaks in the manner of the prophets. (It is interesting to note that in 2 Peter 1:18, the place of the Transfiguration is referred to as ‘the holy mountain.’ We use the same phrase when we speak of La Salette.) Finally, like God speaking to Abraham, Mary also makes a grand promise of hope and prosperity to those

who will live by faith. More important than any of these similarities, however, is the word Son. “Take your only son, whom you love, and offer him up as a holocaust;” “God did not spare his own Son, but handed him over for us all;” “This is my beloved Son.” When Our Lady of La Salette speaks of her Son, it is to reproach her people for their ingratitude to him and their disrespect for his Name. We must never allow ourselves to

forget that her Son is God’s beloved Son, handed over for us. As he is at the heart of Scripture, he must be at the heart of our faith, of our way of life. Lent is a good time to ask ourselves if this is really the case.

If you can devote one or more Tuesday mornings per month to this ministry, please contact Susan Tisdale at either [email protected] or via telephone at 410-336-3226 for more informa on about this ministry. Our goal is to send 3 ministers to the hospital every Tuesday morning. Thank you for considering this call to service and may God bless you.

El Hijo Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma Génesis 22:1-18; Romanos 8:31-34; Marcos 9:2-10 Al terminar el relato dramá co de lo que aconteció sobre una montaña en la erra de Moria, Isaac salva su vida, aparece un sus tuto para el holocausto, y Abraham, que es-taba dispuesto a ofrendar la vida de su amado hijo bajo la orden de Dios, es recompen-sado por su inquebrantable fe. En los empos del An guo Testamento y del Nuevo Tes-tamento, el lugar donde se creía que Abraham fue a sacrificar a su hijo con nuó siendo un lugar venerado. El Templo de Jerusalén fue construido allí.

En nuestra segunda lectura, San Pablo alude indirectamente a otro pequeño monte dentro una distancia fácil de recorrer desde el Templo. El evangelista lo llama Gólgota Y en una montaña sin nombre, en algún lugar en Galilea, Jesús se aparece en su Gloria, junto con Moisés y Elías. Toda esta variedad de elementos encuentran su resonancia en otra montaña más, en los Alpes franceses, un lugar llamado La Sale e. En Menoría de la Pasión de Jesús, la Bella Señora lleva un gran crucifijo sobre su pecho. Es el punto más bril-lante de la Aparición, la fuente de su luz. El mar llo y la tenaza, instrumentos de la Pasión, atraen la atención hacia el crucifijo de una manera única. Recordándonos de la alianza proclamada por medio de Moisés, e invitándonos al firme compromiso de Elías, ella habla como los profetas. (Es interesante notar que en 2 Pedro 1:18, el lugar de la Transfiguración en refer-ido como “la santa montaña”. Nosotros usamos la misma frase cuando hablamos de La Sale e) Finalmente, como Dios hablándole a Abraham, María también hace una gran promesa de esperanza y prosper-idad para aquellos que vivirán por fe. Mas importante que cualquiera de estas similitudes, sin embargo, está la palabra Hijo. “Toma a tu único hijo, a quien amas, y ofrécelo a mí en holocausto”; Dios no libró a su propio Hijo, sino que lo ofreció para todos no-sotros”; “Este es mi Hijo amado” Cuando Nuestra Señora de La Sale e habla de su Hijo, es para reprocharle a su pueblo por la ingra tud hacia El y por la falta de respeto por su Nombre. No debemos permi rnos nunca olvidar que su Hijo es el Hijo amado de Dios, entregado por nosotros. Así como El está en el corazón de las Escrituras, así debe estar en el corazón de nuestra fe, de nuestra manera de vivir. La Cuaresma es un buen empo para preguntarnos si es realmente así.

Soporte Nuestras tropas Dos veces al año, el Concilio Católico de Mujeres de La Santísima Trinidad, envían “Galletas a las tropas” Paquetes de

Cuidado. El pasado noviembre se enviaron 157 cajas de galletas y otras cosas de uso para nuestras tropas que están sirviendo en combate. ¡Necesitamos su ayuda otra vez! Dona artículos para enviar a las tropas.

*Galletas *tarjetas de juego *Palomitas de maíz *Libros de cómicas *Queso curls/Beef Jerky *Paquetes individuales de klenex *Bolsitas de frezar *Paquetes de limpiador de manos *Paquetes pequeños de galletas o maní *Paquetes pequeños de nueces, pretzel *Dulce duro/coma de mascar *paquetes pequeños de crema bronceadora *Sobres de sabor para poner en el agua *protección labial *Tarjetas en blanco *Ayuda económica para el gasto de envió Estas cosas tan insignificantes que muchos tomamos por dado, son las que pueden ha-cer a nuestros hombres y mujeres sirviendo en el ejército sentirse más cerca de sus hogares. Si conoces algún soldado que este sirviendo fuera del país, y te gustaría que recibieran un paquete, por favor dar su nombre y dirección a Pat Matteson 407-733-3069 o en la Oficina Parroquial. Por favor pongan donaciones en las cajas rojas o traerlas al Centro de Bienvenida Margadas “Troop Care Packs” para el 16 de marzo. Las cajas serán empaca-das el sábado marzo 17 de manera que le lleguen para Easter. ¡Que el Señor los Bendiga y gracias por su apoyo!

Colecta Cuaresmal de Zapatos En esta Cuaresma, la Oficina de la Misión está solicitando que los feligreses gener-osos de la parroquia consideren dar a los niños de nuestra diócesis hermana en la Re-publica Dominicana un segundo par de zapatos escolares. Los estudiantes van desde los 4 años hasta los 17. Los caminos de las montañas se comen los zapatos mientras recorren grandes distancias. Intentan guardar sus zapatos escolares (los que envían)

para la escuela y usar sandalias la mayoría de las veces. Pero, los caminos de montaña son difíciles para los zapatos. Ellos aprecian tu generosidad. Pueden dejar los zapatos nuevos en el Narthex de la iglesia o llevarlos a la oficina de la parroquia durante las horas de oficina. ¡Muchas gracias por su continua generosidad!
