Peace to all!
“You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him
alone shall you serve”. Lk 4, 8.
We sometimes forget to exercise and eat right,
but little reminders help us stay on track: a
framed picture of my family hiking together, a
calorie-counting app on my phone. Then we ask
ourselves, why do we have problems with little
reminders about following God? We cannot see God
physically, so a crucifix on the wall, some good
spiritual reading, or a set daily prayer time are some
ways we remind ourselves that He is with us
always. He is our most important goal. What
reminders can you use during Lent to help your
family stay on the right track toward God’s kingdom?
“Jesús le replicó: «La Escritura dice: Adorarás al
Señor tu Dios y a él sólo servirás.” Lucas 4,8
Muchas veces olvidamos hacer ejercicio o comer
bien. Mas simples recordatorios nos ayudan a
enfocarnos como por ejemplo, una foto de la familia
haciendo ejercicio o bajar una aplicación de conteo
de calorías en tu celular. Hay que preguntarnos, por
qué se nos hace difícil seguir a Dios? Sabemos que a
Dios no se lo puede ver físicamente, pero un
crucifijo en casa, un buen libro de espiritualidad, o
una reflexión diaria, simplemente algo que nos recuerde que Él está siempre con nosotros. Dios es
nuestra meta más importante. Cuáles serán nuestros
recordatorios podrías usar esta Cuaresma y guiar a
nuestras familias hacia el Reino de Dios?
In Christ,
Fr. Ignacio Morales
Todays Readings
Lecturas de hoy
Deuteronomy/Deuteronomio 26:4-10
Romans/Romanos 10:8-13
13:13 [13:4-13]
Today’s reading from
Deuteronomy provides
instructions for a ceremony of offering the first
fruits to the “LORD, your
God” (v.4). This phrase
is characteristic of the
author of Deuteronomy
as it identifies the LORD
as the God of Israel, in
contrast to the various
gods of Egypt and Canaan. Because it was the
LORD who delivered them from Egypt and rescued them at the
sea, the Israelites pledge to accept the LORD as their own god,
exclusive of the gods of their neighbors. Offering the first fruits
acknowledges that they would have nothing without the LORD’S
help. During their forty years in the wilderness Israel learned to
rely on the LORD for their existence.
Paul tells the Romans that dependence on God is the key to
salvation. “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved” (v.13). He tells us that we are called to “confess with
(our) mouth…and believe in (our heart)” (v.9) in order to be
“justified” and “saved.” In the biblical world to be justified is to
be made right with God. The heart was the organ of decisionmaking and thought, not of emotion as in our day. So believing
with our heart means that we have incorporated our belief into
our way of thinking and living.
Luke tells us that after Jesus was baptized he “was led by
the Spirit into the desert…to be tempted by the devil” (vv.1-2).
Jesus’ temptations have to deal with satisfying his human hunger, acquiring power and trusting God. But in each case he replies to the devil using verses of scripture. His dependence is on
God. And ours should be as well. Interestingly Luke tells us that
after the devil “finished every temptation, he departed from him
for a time” (v.13). This implies that the devil is not done with
his work. We know from personal experience that temptation is
not something that we encounter once in life. And the example
of Jesus teaches us that with the help of God and God’s word,
we can resist temptation.
For Reflection: Does my life indicate that I “believe in my
heart”? Do I employ God’s Word to resist temptation?
Pro-Life Notes
For all Christians: May God grant us courage to
embrace the precious gift of life, even in the most
difficult of circumstances. We pray to the Lord:
“Jesus
is with us every step of the way, giving us
the grace we need. God invites us to embrace the
lives we have been given, for as long as they are
given. Every life is worth living.”

PALABRA Y
EUCARISTÍA
La Iglesia, como Jesús, no
recibe la tentación diabólica
de una vez para siempre. Por eso hay que estar siempre
en vela, ya que, cuando menos se piense, el demonio
encontrará la ocasión más oportuna para él y menos
esperada para la misma Iglesia. Y no se olvide que lo
diabólico está encarnado en las estructuras del poder
principalmente.
Celebramos en la Eucaristía las primicias de
nuestra salvación. Jesús ha vencido definitivamente el
poder del mal, ha sido liberado del cuerpo de muerte y
transportado a una tierra nueva. En este sacramento
proclamamos que por Jesús todo hombre tiene el poder
de Dios para superar las pruebas de la existencia.
Cuando comulgamos, recibimos la prenda de nuestra
propia victoria.eucarística.
Weekly Stewardship Scripture Reflections
Today’s first reading describes the offering of first
fruits the people of Israel were to present to the
Lord in thanksgiving for their deliverance from
Egypt and the gift of the promised land. Is my
offering at today’s Mass an appropriate response
to the many blessings the Lord has given me?
Reflexión de Corresponsabilidad
La primera lectura de hoy describe el ofrecimiento
de los primeros frutos que el pueblo de Israel debía
presenter al Señor en agradecimiento por su liberación de Egipto y el regalo de la tierra prometida.
¿Es mi ofrenda en la misa de hoy una respuesta
apropiada a las muchas bendiciones que el Señor
me ha dado?
Por todos los cristianos: para que Dios
nos conceda la valentía de afirmar el
incomparable don de la vida, aún en
las circunstancias más difíciles;
Roguemos al Señor
“Jesús está con nosotros en cada paso
del camino, dándonos la gracia que necesitamos. Dios
nos invita a abrazar la vida que se nos ha dado, por el
tiempo que se nos da. Cada vida merece vivir". — Volante

Transubstantiation is the complete change of the
substance of bread and wine into the essence of
Christ’s Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity by a validly
ordained priest during the Consecration at the Mass, so
that only the accidents of bread and wine remain.
Accidents, also called appearances, species or
properties, by definition are those things whose
essence naturally requires that they exist in another
being. Accidents may be physical such as size and
shape. Therefore, the look, taste, feel, etc. of the bread
and wine remain, but by the supernatural divine power
of Jesus, the essence of Jesus becomes the True, Real
and Substantial Jesus in the Eucharist and is believed by
FAITH! In scripture Jesus tells us in John 6:50-55: “This
is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a
man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread
which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this
bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I shall
give for his life of the world is my flesh. The Jews then
disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man
give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Truly,
truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of
man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he
who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life;
and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is
food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who
eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in
him.” Read Sections 1373 – 1377 and 1413 in the
Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Come and give your Love to Him by spending
some quiet time allowing Him to give you His Love on
Friday, March 4, 2016 between 8:00AM and 7:00PM
when Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament will be Exposed
in the Monstrance. NOTE: If you would like to commit to a particular time monthly or have any questions,
please call Herb Blanchard at 678-945-7585 or e-mail
me at [email protected]. Please contact Herb
Blanchard with any questions or comments. Please sign
in and out on the table in the rear of the chapel so we
can be sure that someone is visiting our Lord all the
time He is exposed in the Monstrance. Thanks for
your time spent with HIM!
