Worship & Prayer
SEEING THROUGH
Today's readings invite us to look more deeply, to catch a glimpse of Divine Reality hidden within the “stuff” of life.
God challenged the elderly Abram and his wife to leave home for a land that God would show them. Their eyes would
see the land, but only God could “show” it as a divine gift. Paul reminded Timothy that God’s grace had always been
available, but in Jesus Christ was made “manifest.” Jesus called Peter, James, and John up the mountain and was
“transfigured” for a moment, the radiance of God shining through. Then, just as abruptly, the three looked up . . . and
saw only Jesus. During Lent we’re invited to “see through” to God’s presence in the stuff of life: prowling the
supermarket, waiting in traffic, arguing with the kids, cleaning the bathtub. We wouldn’t really have to “do” anything,
if we could only glimpse divine love supporting us, holding us together. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
VER LA PRESENCIA DE DIOS
Las lecturas de hoy nos invitan a mirar más profundamente para poder dar un vistazo a la realidad divina encerrada en
“las cosas” ordinarias de la vida. Dios retó al anciano Abram y a su esposa a que dejaran su casa para ir “a la tierra que
te mostraré”. Sus ojos verían la tierra, pero sólo Dios “podía” mostrarla como un don divino. Pablo recordó a Timoteo
que la gracia de Dios siempre ha estado a nuestra disposición, pero que en Jesús se “manifestó”. Jesús invitó a Pedro,
Santiago y Juan para que subieran al cerro y allí se “transfiguró” por un momento, y el resplandor de Dios brilló a
través de él. Luego, con la misma rapidez, los tres miraron. . . y sólo vieron a Jesús. Durante la Cuaresma se nos invita a
“mirar más allá” para ver la presencia de Dios en las cosas ordinarias: ambulando por el supermercado, esperando en el
tráfico, discutiendo con los hijos, limpiando la bañera. No tendríamos que “hacer” nada más si pudiéramos divisar el
amor divino que nos apoya y nos sostiene. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY by ST. IGNATIUS
Teach me to be generous. Teach me to serve you as you deserve. To give and not to count the cost, To fight and not to heed the
wounds, To toil and not to seek for rest, To labor and not to seek reward, Save that of knowing that I do your will. AMEN

Flowers During Lent
As we enter the season of Lent, we ask that you do
not bring flowers into the church. If you wish you
could leave them out side at the base of the Saint
Statues located on the west side of the church
building.
Have you noticed the “Sign of Hope” outside our
parish? Through this sign we wish to convey to
pregnant mothers in crisis that in the conception
of each and every child, the members of this
parish see a brand new gift of God's perfect love.
No pregnant mother of any age should feel alone
or afraid because of the unexpected blessing of a child. Volunteers from
parishes throughout our diocese are ready to stand beside any mother who
needs help and to personally care for her throughout her pregnancy and
beyond.

Most Holy Trinity Preschool
Thank you to all of the wonderful parishioners who have
supported our preschool since opening in August of 2012. We
are about halfway through our second year and we could not
be more proud of what these young children are now able to
accomplish.
We are now working on our plan to expand the preschool from
a maximum of 14 students at any time to 28 students at any
time. We are starting the project in February to update the
outside of the preschool to meet all of the necessary conditions
given by the city.
Dear Parishioners of Most Holy Trinity Parish,
God bless you on this Second Sunday of Lent. We at the school hope the
beginning of this Lenten season has brought you and your families closer to
God in preparation for the coming of his Son.
The rest of the project is going to be worked on over the
summer. We are working on raising $85,000 over the next few
months so that we can complete the project. We are hoping
that parishioners will be able to come out to our fund raising
events, such as the first bingo of every month, to help support
the preschool project.
The students at Most Holy Trinity School have begun celebrating Lent with
their Lenten families, which are groups made up of about 30 students from all
different grades. Every Friday during Lent, the students line up in their families
for morning assembly and participate in an activity such as the Stations of the
Cross or creating mini stained glass windows.
The past two weeks, the Lenten families have focused on studying the Stations
of the Cross. The groups have met in the church and walked through the
Stations, learning about each along the way.
We are beginning the enrollment process for the 2014-2015
school year. If you are interested in Most Holy Trinity
Preschool please feel free to contact Jessica Roberts at (408)
929-2287.
We also instill a sense of the importance of Lenten almsgiving in our students.
Each class and its buddy class has an empty water jug that they work to fill
with coins by the end of the season. The collected funds will go toward
supplying clean water for villages in Africa.
Thank you for your continual support!

In addition to celebrating the spirit of Lent, we at Most Holy Trinity School are
looking forward to several upcoming events. On the 22nd of this month, a
group of female students in grades four through eight will be participating in a
STEM Day, or Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Day, sponsored by
Texas Instruments. We were very lucky to be invited to this exciting event and
cannot wait to hear about everything our girls learn.
We are also looking forward for our annual Casino Night, which will take place
on April 5. All are invited to purchase tickets to this wonderful fundraiser. The
event features casino tables where attendees bet play money, which they later
use to enter raffles for a variety of gift baskets.
May God be with you and your families in the coming week!

Let’s Move Campaign 4th anniversary
Part I
Since 1970’s childhood obesity rates in America have tripled.
The numbers are even higher in African American and
Hispanic communities, where nearly 40% of the children are
overweight or obese. If we don't solve this problem, one third
of ALL children born in 2000 or later will suffer from chronic
obesity-related health problems like heart disease, diabetes,
high blood pressure, cancer, and asthma.
En las últimas tres décadas, el índice de obesidad infantil en
Estados Unidos aumentó al triple. Los números son aun
mayores en la comunidad afroamericana e hispana, en que casi
40 por ciento de los niños tienen sobrepeso o son obesos.
Los niños hispanos tienen un mayor riesgo de tener sobrepeso o
ser obesos durante la niñez y adolescencia. La obesidad en la
niñez es un factor que contribuye a tener un mayor riesgo de
complicaciones de salud como diabetes, enfermedades del
corazón, hipertensión, cáncer y asma.
Thirty years ago:
Kids walked to and from school every day
Kids played for hours after school before dinner
Meals were home-cooked with reasonable portion sizes
Eating fast food was rare
Today:
Children get to school by car and bus rides
Hace treinta años:
• Los niños caminaban a la escuela todos los días
• Los niños jugaban durante horas después de la escuela antes
de la cena
• Las comidas se cocinaban en el hogar con el tamaño de las
porciones razonables
• Comer comida rápida (como McDonalds) era raro
Hoy:
• Los niños van a la escuela en coche y autobús
• La clase de gimnasia y deportes después de la escuela se han
reducido
• Hay más de televisión, juegos de video, y el Internet.
• Las familias comen menos comida casera y tamaño de las
porciones son más grandes.
Gym class and after-school sports have been cut
There is more TV, video games, and the internet.
Families eat fewer home-cooked meals and portion sizes
are bigger.
We are now eating 31 percent more calories than we were
forty years ago–including 56 percent more fats and oils and
14 percent more sugars and sweeteners. The average
American now eats fifteen more pounds of sugar a year than
in 1970.
Ahora nos estamos comiendo el 31% más calorías que antes incluyendo 56% más de las grasas y aceites, y 14% más de los
azúcares y edulcorantes. Comemos 15 libras más de azúcar al
año que en 1970.
The good news is that by making just a few lifestyle changes,
we can help our children lead healthier lives–and we already
have the tools we need to do it. We just need the will.
La buena noticia es que, al hacer unos pocos cambios de estilo
de vida, podemos ayudar a nuestros niños a llevar vidas más
saludables-y ya tenemos las herramientas que necesitamos para
hacerlo. Sólo necesitamos la voluntad.
