Durante la Cuaresma siempre tenemos la opción de leer esta historia el Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma, El Hombre Que Nació Ciego el Cuarto Domingo, y el Levantamiento de Lázaro el Quinto Domingo. El Sexto Domingo siempre es Domingo de Ramos y ese día la lectura de la Pasión nos ayuda a empezar la Semana Santa. La Mujer en el Aljibe, o mejor dicho la Mujer Samaritana, como a veces se dice, nos da un buen ejemplo del simbolismo profundo del Evangelio según San Juan. Jesús usa la sed y hambre como experiencias humanas que nos guían hacia la vida eterna. Los Samaritanos y los Judíos tenían conflictos antiguos que los hizo romper los lazos que los unían. Claro que Jesús ignora estas diferencias culturales y enfatiza el don de la vida eterna para todos. Por favor escuchen estas historias, y quédense con ellas aunque sean largas. Ábranse al simbolismo y al drama humano. La semana pasada el Cardenal George nombro oficialmente a nuestro Padre John Sanaghan como Administrador aquí en San Matías y Transfiguración porque el me ha nombrado a ser el tercer pastor de la Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia en Inverness, Illinois. El nombramiento del Padre John nos da la oportunidad a que trabajemos con la Arquidiócesis y comenzar la transición hacia un nuevo Pastor. Ambos nombramientos comienzan el 1ro de Julio. Cuando un Pastor no acaba su término como es el caso conmigo, casi siempre un Administrador es nombrado para ayudar con la transición del nuevo Pastor. A veces, pero no siempre, el Administrador se convierte en el nuevo Pastor. Si recuerdan, yo fui el Administrador aquí por 10 meses, cuando el Padre Mike Alcantara no acabo su término. De mas importancia, el nombramiento del Padre Sanaghan como Administrador nos da el tiempo necesario para considerar nuestras necesidades y le da tiempo a la Arquidiócesis tiempo para evaluar los candidatos y las necesidades de las parroquias. Como siempre, recemos que este proceso sea guiado por el Espíritu Santo y que la sabiduría más profunda nos guíe a lo que mas nos convenga. Ahora es buen tiempo para prepararnos para nuestro Festival Global anual que será el sábado, 16 de mayo. Nuestros estudiantes ya han empezado a trabajar en los temas étnicos y los estudios culturales que los ayuda a celebrar los diferentes países que van a representar. El Festival Global es un modo que aquí en nuestra comunidad de dos parroquias expresamos nuestra variedad, color, y diversidad. Cada Salón toma un país diferente y se transforma en una expresión de la comida, baile, canciones, y recursos naturales de ese país. Si esta interesado en patrocinar a un salón por $250 o si puede estar interesado en otras formas de patrocinaje o en anuncios en el programa por favor pónganse en contacto con Deb Bukovy o con Sandria DeSapio en la Escuela de San Matías Transfiguración al 773-784-0999. El Festival Global también tiene una Misa multiétnica y este año tendremos muchas imágenes de la Virgen Maria de todos los países que podamos conseguir. Por favor consideren prestar su imagen o estatua de la Virgen para exponer cerca de nuestro Altar de la Virgen en la Iglesia de San Matías. Estoy orgulloso en reportar que nuestra respuesta a la Apelación Anual hasta el momento esta muy fuerte. Todavía tienen tiempo para comprometerse, simplemente tienen que llenar uno de los sobres de compromiso y ponerlo en la canasta de la colecta o mandarlo a la rectoría. Recuerden que la Arquidiócesis doblara lo que recaudemos este año y no lo regresara para bajar nuestra deuda. Muchas gracias a todos los que se han comprometido. Su administración nos inspira. Por favor mantengan a los siguientes adultos en sus oraciones mientras acaban su preparación final para la recepción completa a la Iglesia Católica. Nuestros Candidatos del programa RICA y los Catecúmenos del 2008-2009 son: Peter Bartels Kailena Logan Christine Wehrmeister Nina Norris Nancy Harper . . .a Letter from Father Terry To the Great People of St. Matthias and Transfiguration We read the lengthy story of the Woman at the Well this weekend from John’s Gospel. During Lent we always have the option to read this story on the Third Sunday, the Man Born Blind on the Fourth Sunday and the Raising of Lazarus on the Fifth Sunday. The Sixth Sunday is always Palm Sunday and the reading of the Passion that day helps us to begin Holy Week. The Woman at the Well or as it is sometimes referred to; The Samaritan Woman gives us a great example of the deep symbolism of the Gospel according to John. Jesus uses thirst and hunger as human experiences that lead us to eternal life. The Samaritans and the Jews had age old conflicts that led to them literally having nothing to do with each other. Jesus of course cuts through these cultural differences and emphasizes that the gift of eternal life is for all. Please be attentive to these stories. Stay with them even though they are long. Open yourself up to the rich symbolism and human drama. Last week Cardinal George officially appointed our own Fr. John Sanaghan as the Administrator here at St. Matthias and Transfiguration because he also appointed me as the third pastor of Holy Family Parish in Inverness, Illinois. Fr. John’s appointment gives us all an opportunity to work with the Archdiocese and the transition to a new pastor. Both of the above appointments begin on July 1st. When a pastor does not finish his term as is the case with me here, an Administrator is almost always appointed to help with the transition to a new pastor. Often, but not always, the Administrator becomes the new pastor. If you recall I was the Administrator here for 10 months after Fr. Mike Alcantara did not finish his term. Most importantly, the appointment of Fr. Sanaghan as Administrator gives us the time needed to consider our needs and the Archdiocese time to assess candidates and needs of the parishes. As always, let us all pray that this process is guided by the Holy Spirit and that the deepest wisdom leads us to what is best for us. It is not too early to prepare for our annual Global Fest which will be on Saturday, May 16 this year. Our School children have already begun working on the various ethnic themes and other cultural studies that help them to celebrate the various countries that they will represent. Global Fest is an annual way that we in our two-parish community express our variety, color and diversity, Each Classroom takes on a different country and transforms their room into an expression of that country’s food, dance, song and natural resources. If you are interested in sponsoring a classroom for $250 or if you may be interested in other forms of sponsorship or program ads please contact Deb Bukovy or Sandria DeSapio at St. Matthias Transfiguration School 773-784-0999. Global Fest also features a multi ethnic Mass and this year we will display as many images of Mary from as many different countries as we possibly can. Please consider sharing your image or statue of Mary for display near our current Mary Altar in St. Matthias Church.43 I am happy to report that our response to the Annual Appeal so far is very strong. You still have time to make a pledge by simply filling out one of the pledge envelopes and placing it in the collection basket or returning it to the rectory. Remember the Archdiocese is doubling our collected amount this year and returning it to us to reduce our debt. Many thanks to all of you who have pledged. Your stewardship is inspiring. Please keep the following adults in your prayers as they mark their final preparation for full reception into the Catholic Church.

If you wished to get as close as possible to this site today, you would in fact be at a Muslim shrine, the Dome of the Rock, built on the ruins of Herod’s temple. Archeologists believe that this striking, gold-domed crown of a shrine is set precisely where the Holy of Holies once was. Jews believe that the rock is the exact spot where Abraham was prepared to sacrifice Isaac. It is not a mosque, as some think, but a shrine, the oldest one in the Muslim world. For them, the rock is the place from which the Prophet Mohammed ascended on a visit to heaven. The Crusaders mistook the shrine for the actual Temple of Solomon, and the infamous Knights Templar used it as their headquarters and model for their churches elsewhere. The geometric perfection of the shrine is a mathematician’s dream. The inscriptions are not exactly hospitable though, since they encourage Christians to “depart from error” and declare that “Jesus son of Mary was only a messenger of God.” In ancient times, those who prayed here after walking around the rock were given a certificate entitling the bearer to admission to paradise. The ticket had to be buried with them. GOD UPHOLDS ME I take for my sureties: The power of God to guide me, the might of God to uphold me, the wisdom of God to teach me, the eye of God to watch over me, the ear of God to hear me, the word of God to give me speech, the hand of God to protect me, the way of God to go before me, the shield of God to shelter me. —St. Patrick LENTEN SCHEDULE Theme We are family . . . . for God’s sake Somos familia . . . . por el bien de dios THIRD WEEK OF LENT Wednesday March 18 Stations of the Cross—St. Matthias Transfiguration School Children—in St. Matthias Church Thursday, March 19 Eucharistic Adoration 8:45—11:00 AM at Transfiguration Third Friday of Lent—March 20 Stations of the Cross—7 pm St. Matthias (English); 7 pm Transfiguration (Spanish) Fish Fry-Atlantic Bar, 5062 N.
