Today’s Gospel Reflection
1st Reading: Gn 22:1-2, 9a, 10-13, 15-18 * Psalm 116:10, 15-19 *
2nd Reading: Rom 8:31b-34 * Gospel: Mk 9:2-10
LISTEN AND FOLLOW
“This is my beloved Son. Listen to
him.” And listen they did. From that
moment on, Peter, James, and John
were ardent followers, forsaking everything to follow in their Master’s footsteps. Like the psalmist crying, “O Lord,
I am your servant,” the three disciples committed themselves to
lives of incredible hardship and indescribable joy. After that day
on the mountain, they never again wavered in their chosen
vocation.
Though our tests may not be as severe as Abraham’s and
our peak experiences not as dramatic as the Transfiguration,
we all face the daily challenges of walking “before the Lord in
the land of the living.” As we follow our varied calls to love and
serve, let’s be comforted by Paul’s reminder to the Romans: “If
God is for us, who can be against us?”

.
“If God is for us, who can be against us?” — Romans 8:31b
ESCUCHA Y SIGUE
“Este es mi Hijo amado; escúchenlo”. Y sí que lo escucharon. Desde ese momento, Pedro, Santiago y Juan fueron
sus ardientes seguidores, desechándolo todo para seguir las
huellas del Maestro. Tal como proclama el salmista, “Señor, he
aquí tu servidor”, los tres discípulos se comprometieron a vidas
de increíbles penurias e indescriptible gozo. Después de ese
día en la montaña, nunca más dudaron de la vocación
escogida.
Aunque nuestras pruebas no sean tan severas como la de
Abraham, ni nuestros momentos sublimes tan dramáticos como
la Transfiguración, todos confrontamos los retos cotidianos de
caminar “en presencia del Señor en el país de la vida”. Mientras
seguimos nuestros diversos llamados a amar y servir, seamos
confortados por lo que Pablo les recuerda a los romanos: “Si
Dios está a nuestro favor, ¿quién estará en contra nuestra?”

ST. MICHAEL CHURCH
PARADISE HILLS, SAN DIEGO
Dear Parishioners and friends,
Today is the Second Sunday of Lent.
During Lent, we meditate on the great paschal mystery—the salvation God
won for us sinners, by the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
PASTOR’S MESSAGE
Lent is a time of preparation and self-sacrifice through prayer, penance, repentance, almsgiving,
fasting and abstinence and self-denial or giving up worldly desires and activities.
Prayer is our conversation with God. More time given to prayer draw us closer to the Lord. It is
through prayer that we develop a closer, more intimate relationship with God. This relationship makes us
so grateful for the blessings he has bestowed upon us that we become eager to give to those less fortunate
than us. Fasting and almsgiving, without prayer, do not have much meaning; they are mere actions we do out
of tradition.
Fasting, which means partaking of only one full meal, is one of the most ancient actions linked to Lent.
Fasting without changing our behavior is not pleasing to God (Isaiah 58:3-12). The goal of fasting is linked with
prayer. The pangs of hunger remind us of our hunger for God. Prayer and fasting together brings us to
what Lent is about—a deeper conversion. Abstinence from certain foods is also a biblical discipline. As a
way of commemorating Christ’s Crucifixion on a Friday, we abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent and eat
fish, which is a symbol of Christ.
Almsgiving is a response that come through prayer and fasting. Almsgiving is an expression of our
gratitude for all that God has given us. Through prayer and fasting we come to a deeper understanding
that the needs of all are the responsibility of all in the Body of Christ. We are the Body of Christ!
Penance. We must all turn from sin and make reparation to God for our sins. We must forgive and
show love for one another just as we ask for God’s love and forgiveness.
Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to grant us a heart to pray, a heart to share, a heart to serve, a heart to
witness, and a heart to build bridges.
Fr. Bernard Ranoa

SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT
LENT—
— THE TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS
MARCH 01, 2015
The mission of the Academy is to form young disciples to be spiritually, intellectually, and socially
prepared to integrate gospel values for living a Catholic, Christian life in a secular world. We are
committed to providing a Christian environment where students experience God through exploration of
their lives and the wonders of His creation. The Academy envisions itself as a partner with parents;
sharing the educational ministry of the Church.
Blessings from St. Michael Academy to the St. Michael Parish Community!
This past week, Sr. Eva Rodriguez, from the Missionary Childhood Association, visited our school. Sr. Eva
builds bridges between our students and students in other parts of the world. After her stimulating talk, our students furthered
their resolve to assist their missionary brothers and sisters. Last year, our St. Michael Academy students donated over
$1,000.00 to the Missionary Childhood Association. I’m betting, they will top that amount this year. We do indeed pray, fast,
and give alms. Lent is a growing time at SMA!
Enrollment/registration is an ongoing process at St. Michael Academy. We are a Kindergarten through 8th Grade
school. Call the office and schedule a tour of the Academy. Give us an opportunity to show you how the cost of your child’s
Catholic education can fit into your budget. Call 619 470-4880, or e-mail Mrs. Lewis at [email protected].
Fr. Manny offers a $1000 discount to new families enrolling in the Academy.

that take place on mountaintops. In the first we hear the story of
how Abraham was put to the test. He is referred to as “our father
in faith” precisely because he was willing to sacrifice his only
son, Isaac, because the Lord God had commanded it. When
Abraham stands ready kill Isaac, the Lord God intervenes,
prevents the sacrifice, and blesses Abraham in abundance.
In the second story, the only Son of God is transfigured on a
mountaintop before the eyes of Peter, James, and John. As the
sacred word is proclaimed, let us ask God to strengthen our own
faith and lead us one day to share in the transfigured glory of
Christ.

During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks
for these courageous witnesses of Faith and models of
