Un mensaje del p. Carlos
Transfigurados o Convertidos.
El Tabor, en este segundo domingo Cuaresma estamos ante la admiración y el compromiso de acompañar a un Jesús que se ofrece como camino, recorrido con cruz, para que el hombre no olvide ni su dignidad ni su ser hijo de Dios. No nos podemos quedar cómodamente sentados en la felicidad de nuestros sueños; en una fe personal y privada. ¡Qué más quisieran algunos! Uno, cuando escucha la Palabra, con la misma confianza y credulidad que lo hicieron Abraham, Pablo, Pedro, Santiago o Juan, a la fuerza ha de ponerse inmediatamente en movimiento. Nuestra presencia en esta Eucaristía nos debe de llevar a soltar un “qué bien se está aquí” pero también nos ha de llevar a un convencimiento: el mundo nos espera fuera; en el mundo es donde hemos de dar muestras de lo que aquí, en este “monte tabor que es la Eucaristía”, hemos vivido, visualizado, escuchado y compartido. ¿Seremos capaces? ¿O nos conformaremos con este puntual “tabor” que es la misa dominical?
¿Qué significa la transfiguración? La transformación luminosa de Jesús delante de sus discípulos, ya camino de Jerusalén y de la pasión, es como un respiro que se concede Jesús para ponerse en comunicación con lo más profundo de su ser y de su obediencia a Dios. Jesús lee, digamos, su propia historia a la luz de su obediencia a Dios con objeto de
llevar adelante ese plan de salvación para todos los hombres. Jesús no sube al monte de la transfiguración siendo el Hijo de Dios de la alta cristología, sino el hombre-profeta de Galilea que pregunta a Dios si el camino que ha emprendido se cumplirá. Por eso Lucas pone tanto interés en la oración, porque estas cosas se preguntan y se viven en la oración. Y las respuestas de Dios se escuchan también en la experiencia de la oración. De esa manera, los dos personajes que se presentan acompañando a la nube divina, Moisés y Elías, representantes cualificados del Antiguo Testamento, indican que ahora es Jesús quien revela a Dios y a su mundo. Los discípulos le acompañan, pero no pueden percibir más que una especie de sosiego que les lleva a pedir y desear “plantarse” allí, construir tiendas en lo alto del monte.
¿Cómo vivir hoy transfigurados? ¿Cuál será el secreto para que nos transparentemos y demos a conocer la Gloria del Señor en nuestras vidas? Busquemos como. Paz y Bien.
LENT
A Season to Reflect. Repent. Restore.
During this reflective time, consider what God is calling you to be this Lent. You can find a list of Lent Spiritual Resources on our website with ways to help you deepen your faith and grow closer to God.
FRIDAYS DURING LENT
Join us for Stations of the Cross (Bilingual) at 7 PM in the Church.
GUIDELINES FOR LENT: ABSTINENCE
Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. In addition, all Catholics 14 years old and older must abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all the Fridays of Lent. For more information visit usccb.org
RECONCILIATION
During Lent, the Sacrament of Reconciliation is available on Tuesday from 4 to 5 PM and on Saturday 9-10 AM or by appointment. Has it been a while since your last confession? Do you have questions about the Sacrament? Visit REDISCOVER THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION
ALMSGIVING OPPORTUNITIES
During Lent, we are asked to focus more intently on "almsgiving," which means donating money or goods to the poor and performing other acts of charity. As one of the three pillars of Lenten practice, almsgiving is "a witness to fraternal charity" and "a work of justice pleasing to God." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2462).
LENT COIN BOXES This Lent our coin box donations will go to help the Franciscan Vietnam Mission.
Pick up a coin box in the Church.
