Our Lenten Collection Wednesday, March 8 Donation: $192.03
Our Wednesday Mass collection for the following dates will be donated to the Saint Andre Bessette Catholic Church
(Portland’s Downtown Chapel) to assist them in their ongoing efforts to feed and clothe Portland’s homeless
citizens. A weekly graph will display our progress.
Please give generously.
Donation dates: March 8, 15, 22, April 5 & 12.
At this second station on our Lenten Journey, we meet Jesus transfigured on the mountain. This story serves as an icon
for our contemplation, an opening through which we can see a divine and mysterious world simultaneously near and far.
In Matthew’s gospel, it is scarcely a week since Jesus predicted to his disciples his passion and their part in it.
The three disciples who witness Jesus’ glory on the mountain are thus strengthened to witness his agony in the garden.
Suddenly they see Jesus as he will become. Upon this human face which is threatened with the shadow of death,
the dazzling light of Easter is already seen. Moses and Elijah surround him. These two great witnesses of the old covenant attest by their presence the imminence of the last days, the appearance of the great awaited prophet. The Father is also present in the cloud and just as at Jesus’ baptism, his voice
reveals for an instant the secret of Jesus of Nazareth: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him. Receive, in Him and in yourself, the narrow way of glory and suffering, of
power and weakness, of death and resurrection!”
It is time to come down onto the plain to continue the journey behind the servant. Soon the clouds of Golgotha
will absorb the shining of this transfigured face. There will no longer be anything to see, apparently nothing more for which to hope. But the light which once shone was not misleading,
the vision was not an illusion. The drawing of Easter will show that life can conquer death. (St. Andrew Missal, page 200)
