The First Sunday of Lent – February 22, 2015

appeal to God for a clear conscience,
through the resurrection of Christ who has
gone into heaven…
1 Peter 3:21-22
"…el bautismo…
no consiste en quitar la inmundicia
corporal, sino en el compromiso de

Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Seeking transformation
Buscando la Transformación
The readings and prayers of the First Sunday in Lent
ask us to open our hearts to transformation. The Collect reminds us to see Lent as a time to grow in
“understanding the riches hidden in Christ.” This is the
goal of our forty day Lenten journey. The Preface tells
us that “by abstaining forty long days from earthly food,
Jesus consecrated through his fast the pattern of our
Lenten observances.” Jesus has given us the examples of meditation, prayer, good works, and self denial
as paths for growing closer to God. After leaving the
desert, Jesus proclaimed, “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the gospel.” Jesus asks for repentance which
requires a change of heart that results in a change of
action. We must examine our hearts honestly, be sorry
for past choices, and make changes that remove us
from circumstances and people who tempt us to be
less than what God desires us to be. These changes
are possible when we embrace the gospel. Jesus’
directive reminds us of the actions in the Old Testament reading. God had sent the flood in response to
man’s evil actions through the years. He promised
Noah a new life, a new beginning. Peter writes in his
letter that Noah and his family were “saved through
water. This prefigured baptism,
which saves [us] now. It is not
a removal of dirt from the body
but an appeal to God for a clear
conscience through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” This is
what we hope for in the next
forty days«to come to a truer
understanding of the Paschal
Mystery and live lives that reflect this glorious mystery.
Las lecturas y las oraciones de este primer domingo de
Cuaresma nos piden que tengamos un corazón abierto
a la transformación. En la oración Colecta recordamos
que la Cuaresma es un tiempo para que “progresemos
en el conocimiento del misterio de Cristo.” Esta es la
meta en la jornada de cuarenta días de la Cuaresma.
El Prefacio nos dice que “al abstenerse durante cuarenta días de tomar alimento, [Jesús] consagro la práctica
de nuestra penitencia cuaresmal.” Jesús nos ha dado
el ejemplo para la meditación, la oración, las buenas
obras, y la negación personal como caminos para crecer en nuestra cercanía con Dios. Después de salir del
desierto, Jesús proclamó, “Se ha cumplido el tiempo y
el Reino de Dios ya está cerca. Conviértanse y crean
en el Evangelio.” Jesús nos pide un arrepentimiento
que requiere un cambio de corazón el cual resulta en
un cambio activo. Debemos examinar nuestro corazón
honestamente, sentir arrepentimiento por lo que hemos
hecho en el pasado, y alejarnos de las circunstancias y
de las personas quienes nos ponen tentación y no permiten que seamos lo que Dios desea. Estos cambios
son posibles cuando abrazamos el Evangelio. La directiva de Jesús nos recuerda las acciones en la lectura
del Antiguo Testamento. Dios manda la inundación
como respuesta a las malas acciones del hombre al
correr de los años. Le prometió a Noé una vida nueva,
un nuevo principio. San Pedro escribe en su carta que
Noé y su familia “se salvaron flotando sobre el agua.
Aquella agua era figura del bautismo, que ahora [nos]
salva a [nosotros] y no consiste en quitar la inmundicia
corporal, sino en el compromiso de vivir con una buen
conciencia ante Dios, por la resurrección de Cristo Jesús.” Esto es lo que deseamos en los siguientes cuarta
días«llegar a un mejor entendimiento del Misterio Pascual y vivir de una manera en la que se refleje este glorioso misterio.

Defenders of Life:
Lenten Prayer Vigil for Life
Please join members of Ventura’s Defenders of Life
Group praying outside the Ventura Planned Parenthood,

in the abortion industry, and for an end of the support to
the abortion industry with U.S. Tax dollars. Come at your
convenience. Stay as long as you can. Pray for all life.
Prayers will be offered everyday during Lent between

Synod of Bishops
SBHS Booster Fundraiser
In preparation for the Synod of Bishops to be held in October 4–25, 2015 on “The Vocation and Mission of the
Family in the Church and Contemporary World,” the Vatican has asked the world’s bishops for a “broad consultation.” In order to facilitate the response from the Archdiocese, an on-line survey has been established that enables Catholics to respond to a set of questions that the
Vatican has proposed for reflection. The survey can be
accessed on the Archdiocesan home page: http://www.laarchdiocese.org/
or
directly
at:
http://survey.laarchdiocese.org/. Responses are to be made by Monday,
March 9 in order to be included in the report that the
Archdiocese will present to the United States Catholic
Conference.
Dine out on Tuesday, Feb 24th all day, 11 am-9pm at
Snapper Jack's! Mention SBHS Boosters Club and they
will donate 20% of purchases to St. Bonaventure Sports Programs. We appreciate
all of the support we get from Snapper
Jack's they are generous to many parish
events.
Thank you for helping our high school
students in athletics!
