Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Seeking our heavenly transformation
Buscando Nuestra Transformación Celestial
Today’s readings and prayers celebrate the transfiguration of Jesus which reminds us that we are meant to be
citizens of heaven. Our time on this earth is a journey –
one that is to culminate, as Saint Paul writes in today’s
epistle, “in the Lord Jesus Christ [changing] our lowly
body to conform with his glorified body by the power
that enables him also to bring all things into subjection
to himself.” A description of Jesus’ transfiguration is
recorded in today’s Gospel. Luke writes that “while
[Jesus] was praying his face changed in appearance
and his clothing became dazzling white” while he stood
on the mountain next to Moses and Elijah. Peter,
James, and John, who witness this event, hear God’s
voice affirm, “This is my chosen Son, listen to him.”
This affirmation’s roots are found in the Old Testament
reading from Genesis where God establishes the covenant with Abraham when He says, “Look up at the sky
and count the stars, if you can. Just so, shall your descendants be.” This promise sets the salvation story in
motion and Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus to signify that Jesus is the fulfillment of both God’s laws and
his prophesies. This helps us
understand that our baptism is
the beginning of our transformation. So, as we strive to
walk daily with Jesus, we are
inspired to pray, “Bless [us], O
Lord, with a blessing that endures for ever, and keep [us]
faithful to the Gospel of your
Only Begotten Son, so that
[we] may always desire and at
last attain that glory whose
beauty he showed in his own
Body, to the amazement of his
Apostles” (Prayer Over the
People).
Las lecturas y oraciones de hoy celebran la transfiguración de Jesús y nos recuerdan que estamos destinados
a ser ciudadanos del cielo. Nuestro tiempo en esta tierra
es un viaje - un viaje que culminará, como escribe San
Pablo en la epístola de hoy, “El Señor Jesucristo transformará nuestro cuerpo humilde, según el modelo de su
cuerpo glorioso, con esa energía que posee para someterlo todo.” Una descripción de la transfiguración de Jesús fue grabada en el Evangelio de hoy. Lucas escribe
que “mientras [Jesús] estaba orando, el aspecto de su
rostro cambió, sus vestidos brillaban de blancos" mientras estaba en la montaña con Moisés y Elías. Pedro y
sus compañeros que presenciaron este evento, escucharon la voz de Dios afirmar, " Éste es mi Hijo, el escogido, escuchadle.” Las raíces de esta afirmación están
encontradas en la lectura de Génesis en el Antiguo Testamento donde Dios establece una promesa
con Abraham cuando le dice, “Mira al cielo; cuenta las
estrellas, si puedes. Así será tu descendencia.” Esta
promesa pone la historia de la salvación en pie y Moisés
y Elías se aparecen con Jesús para significar que Jesús
es el cumplimiento de las leyes y
profecías de Dios. Esto nos ayuda a
entender que el bautismo es el comienzo de nuestra transformación.
Así, mientras nos esforzamos para
caminar con Jesús diariamente,
seamos
inspirados
a
orar,
“Bendícenos, O Dios, con una bendición que dure para siempre,
y mantennos fiel al Evangelio de tu
Hijo único, de manera que siempre
deseemos y al final alcancemos esa
gloria cuya belleza El enseño con
su propio Cuerpo, hasta el asombro
de sus Apóstoles” (Oración Sobre la
Gente).

Seeing and Hearing the Lord
with a New Heart
Monday, February 22
6:30 Clyman Patterson (D) & Marijeanne Farley (D)
8:00 Burl & Theresa Cleary (D)
The Spirit led Jesus into the desert and there engaged the
power of evils of temptation. But as we know, He rejected
so as to begin His mission to proclaim the Good News. It
is in the desert of our Lenten journey that we encounter
our own comforts and ways of being that keep us from
identifying and rejecting what is not of God’s Spirit. This
can be something as simple as placing your hand in a
holy water font and being shocked or dismayed in finding
only sand. This reminds us that with Jesus, we spend 40
days in the desert of Lent so that we can REALLY desire
the refreshing waters that await us in our baptismal relationship with the Lord. It must be a NEW relationship that
is born of prayer, fasting, and works of Charity.
In this second week of Lent, we are mystified by a Transfigured Jesus who invites us to ponder what it might mean
to embrace the wonder and mystery of God’s life in us
rather than the desire to live a life “transfigured” our own
efforts and expectations. Our yearnings and our desires
may propel us at this time but these also distract us from
embracing the challenges that await those who seek the
will of the Lord. We give into our own temptations and
rationalizations that keep us self-centered and selfabsorbed rather than centered on the Lord. The image of
Jesus on the mountain top, transfigured before Peter,
James, and John, reminds us of the wondrous possibilities that await those who persevere on this Lenten journey
and listen to the voice of God calling us to join Him. It is
the voice from the heavens that invites us, “Listen to Him.”

Did you Know?
Building your child’s self-esteem
could
help prevent abuse
Bullies and predators typically pick easy targets to victimize and abuse. This could be a child who has low selfesteem or confidence. An abuser may use low selfesteem to forge a bond with a victim, or even to make a
victim think that he or she deserves abusive treatment. To
guard against this, you can work on building self-esteem
by teaching kids their worth as children of God. For more
tips, request a copy of “Balancing Discipline and Self Esteem” from [email protected].

¿SABIA USTED?
Fortalecer la autoestima de
su hijo o hija puede ayudar
a prevenir el abuso
Santa Clara HS Roaring 20’s Casino Night
Los “bullies” o burlones y los
depredadores
típicamente
escogen objetivos fáciles de
victimizar y de abusar. Éste
puede ser un niño o niña que
tiene baja autoestima o confianza
en sí mismo(a). Un abusador puede usar la baja
autoestima del niño para forjar una relación cercana con
su víctima, o hasta hacerle creer a la víctima que él o ella
merece un tratamiento abusivo. Para que los niños se
protejan contra esto, usted puede trabajar en fortalecer la
autoestima de ellos enseñándoles a los niños su valor
como hijos de Dios. Para más consejos, pida una copia

Discipline
and
Self
Esteem” (Balanceando disciplina y autoestima),
