Our readings today describe turning points for those whom God has chosen. In Genesis, God calls Abram to leave his homeland, with the promise of forming a people in a new land. In the Gospel, the disciples see Jesus literally in a new light, the bright light of Jesus’ transfiguration. They begin to see Jesus, and themselves, in a new way. These are times when God presents a new way forward, providing new purpose and energy. Our lives too have their own turning points, where God is working (usually in less spectacular fashion) to lead us into fuller maturity, and into deeper unity with God and others. The road ahead, as with Abram, Jesus, and the disciples, may be long and difficult. Lent can be a time when we reflect upon these turning points in our past, and consider how God may be stirring something new in us today. BLEST TO BE A BLESSING The first eleven chapters of Genesis tell the story of the tragedy of human separation from God. But God has not given up on humanity. God is on a mission to reconcile and heal all of cre-ation. In today’s reading from Genesis 12, we see the beginning of God’s new strategy: to begin with a single person (Abram, later renamed Abraham) and family and form them into a distinct people, so that all peoples may see God’s blessing in them, and share in this blessing. God’s chosen people are not selected simply to receive blessing, but to serve as examples and agents of blessing. God blesses people not only for their own benefit but for all. When we fully thank God, we also accept God’s call to bless others. We the Church receive God’s grace precisely so that we may share grace with others. LISTEN TO HIM In today’s Gospel describing Jesus’ transfiguration, we hear of the disciples’ vision of Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. Peter, perhaps understandably, responds by trying to enshrine the mo-ment by building tents for them. However, God interrupts and speaks words identical to those spoken at Jesus’ baptism: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” But here God adds, “listen to him.” Listening to God can take various forms. At some mo-ments, as when we receive new insight or are deeply moved, we want to jump into action. Sometimes this is appropriate and nec-essary. But sometimes God interrupts our eagerness, and calls us to further reflection or simply to listen in silence. Reflection and action are of course both essential to our faith journey. Yet we recall that God may often speak through silence. Contemplative practice, rich in tradition within our Cath-olic faith, reminds us that God invites us to an encounter within silence. In contemplative prayer, we open ourselves and simply wait upon God. We might encounter a divine Presence beyond words.

MONTHLY ROSARY AT SLK PARISH

SLK Parish is currently providing instruction to 24 catechumens (2 adults, 8 teenagers 14 children ) to join us in faith and receive the sacraments of Baptism, and/or The Holy Eucharist and Con-firmation at the Easter Vigil. This past Sunday these individu-als attended the Rite of Sending service at Sts. Simon & Jude Cathedral where Bishop Nevares welcomed them and encour-aged them to faithfully complete their preparations to participate in the Catholic faith. Let us keep them in our prayers.

RITE OF SENDING FOR CATECHUMENS

BENDITO POR SER UNA BENDICIÓN Los primeros once capítulos del libro del Génesis cuentan la historia de la tragedia de la separación humana de Di-os. Pero Dios no ha abandonado a la humanidad. Dios está en una misión para reconciliar y sanar a toda la creación. En las lecturas de hoy, del capítulo 12 del libro del Génesis, vemos el comienzo de una nueva estrategia de Dios: empezar con una persona sencil-la (Abram, después llamado Abrahán) y familia y formarlos en personas diferentes, para que todas las personas puedan ver la bendición de Dios en ellos, y compartir esta bendición. El pueblo elegido no fue elegido simplemente para reci-bir esta bendición, sino para servir como ejemplo y representantes de esta bendición. Dios bendice a las personas no solamente para su propio beneficio sino para el de todos. Cuando agradecemos plenamente a Dios, también aceptamos la llamada de Dios para bendecir a otros. Nosotros, la Iglesia, recibimos la gracia de Dios precisamente para que podamos compartir la gracia con los demás. ESCUCHÁNDOLO A ÉL El Evangelio de hoy, describiendo la transfiguración de Jesús, escuchamos de los apóstoles la revelación de Jesús, Moisés y Elías. Pedro, comprensiblemente, responde intentando consagrar el momento construyendo chozas para ellos. Sin embargo, Dios interrumpe y habla con palabras idénticas a las habladas en el bautismo de Jesús: “Este es mi Hijo amado, en quien me com-plazco”. Pero aquí, Dios añade “escúchenlo”. Escuchar a Dios puede tomar varias formas. En algunos momentos, así como cuando recibimos nueva luz o estamos pro-fundamente conmovidos, queremos ir a la acción. Algunas veces esto es apropiado y necesario. Pero otras veces, Dios interrumpe nuestro entusiasmo, y nos llama a una reflexión más profunda o simplemente a escuchar en silencio. La reflexión y la acción son desde luego esenciales para nuestro camino de fe. Sin embargo, recordamos que Dios a menudo puede hablar a través del silencio. La práctica contempla-tiva, rica en tradición en nuestra fe católica, nos recuerda que Dios nos invita a un encuentro dentro del silencio. En la oración contemplativa, nos abrimos y simplemente esperamos en Dios. Podríamos encontrar la divina presencia más allá de las palabras. Lecturas de hoy: Gn 12:1–4a; Sal 33 (32):4–5, 18–19, 20, 22; 2 Tim 1:8b–10; Mt 17:1–9 Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
