Mission Statement
We are one body in
Christ and individually
parts of one another.
Vision Statement
To be a community
that is nurtured
through the Eucharist
and
empowered by the
Holy Spirit to serve
God and neighbor.
The Liturgy of the Day
In today’s scriptures we are
presented with two dramatic
theophanies, or divine encounters.
In our modern world it seems that
God’s presence is seldom so
spectacular. Yet as we move deeper
into this Lenten season, we may
want to seek reassurance of God’s
presence with us. Let us find that
reassurance today in our Eucharistic
celebration, and then become agents
of God’s presence for others.
Liturgia del Día
Las Escrituras de hoy nos presentan
dos
dramáticas
teofanías
manifestaciones de la divinidad.
Parece ser que en nuestro mundo
moderno la presencia de Dios
raramente es espectacular.
Sin
embargo, a medida que nos adentramos
más en este tiempo cuaresmal, bien
pudiéramos asegurarnos más de la
presencia de Dios en nosotros.
Encontremos hoy esa seguridad en
nuestra celebración eucarística y
convirtámonos en agentes de la
presencia de Dios para los demás.

HOMILIA DE HOY
Homilía
Como el terror y
la
violencia
acechan nuestras
noticias
cotidianas,
así
también esas dos
realidades figuran
en las Escrituras
de hoy: “un terror
intenso
y
misterioso se apoderó” de Abram
(Génesis 15:12); Pedro, Juan y
Santiago “se llenaron de miedo”
durante la transfiguración de Jesús
(Lucas 9:34). En el libro del Génesis,
la presencia misteriosa de Dios se
manifiesta en medio de una matanza
repugnantemente
gráfica;
la
transfiguración de Jesús ocurre en
medio de vaticinios siniestros de
pasión y crucifixión. Así y todo, Dios
transfigura el temor y lamatanza en fe
y alianza: la tierra prometida de Abram
con innumerables descendientes; el
“éxodo”, el sufrimiento y la muerte de
Jesús, que logra la salvación y
liberación de toda la humanidad.
• Aunque el segundo domingo de
Cuaresma
siempre
presenta
la
transfiguración de Jesús, sólo Lucas
revela que el “éxodo” de Jesús era lo
que dialogaban Moisés y Elías (cfr.
9:31). Sólo Lucas hace notar que la
transfiguración de Jesús ocurrió cuando
Jesús “subió a un monte para hacer
oración” (9:28). Al promulgar este Año
Jubilar de la Misericordia, el Papa
Francisco declara que ese silencio
orante es necesario para poder
contemplar la Misericordia de Dios Estan
Invitados
Durante
La
hacia nosotros y para compartir con los Cuaresma A las Estaciones de la
demás la misericordia del éxodo de Cruz—Todos Los Viernes en la
Jesús.
• Sólo Lucas reporta que “de la nube
salió una voz” que identificaba a Jesús
como el “escogido”, haciendo así eco
de la identificación de Isaías del siervo
sufriente de Dios como el “escogido”.
Invocando a Isaías, el Papa Francisco
ve la oración, el ayuno y la limosna de
Cuaresma como prácticas que pueden
Misas en español primer
transfigurar el mundo si los cristianos
hicieran del desafío de Isaías su
semestre del 2016
experiencia de vida, a semejanza del
éxodo vivificador de Jesús: “soltando Marzo (March) 13th - 1pm
las cadenas injustas . . . dejando libres
Abril (April) 10th - 1pm
a los oprimidos . . . compartiendo tu
pan con el hambriento,
Mayo (May) 8th Mothers Day (Dia
hospedando a los pobres sin techo; de las Madres) - 1pm
proporcionando ropas al desnudo . . .
sin desatenderte de tus semejantes. . . Junio (June) 12th - 1pm
desatando las correas del yugo, dejando Julio (july) 10th - 1pm
de acusar con el dedo y de pronunciar
palabras ofensivas . . .Entonces brillará Augusto (Aug.) 14th - 1pm
tu luz en las tinieblas . . . serás como Septiembre (Sept.) 11th - 1pm
un huerto bien regado, como un
manantial cuyas aguas no se Octubre (Oct.) 9th - 1pm
agotan” (cfr. Isaías 58:6–7, 9, 11).
