In today’s Gospel, Peter, James, and John—often described as the inner circle of disciples—went with Jesus to a high mountain. (In the Bible, mountains are of-ten places of Divine Revelation.) The three are so overcome by what they see, hear, and experience that they do not know what to do or say. They simply know that they have witnessed something powerful. Jesus instructed them to tell no one of what they had seen, and they did indeed keep the matter to them-selves. This is the opposite of what the leper in the Gospel just two Sundays ago did. He told everyone what happened to him!

RICE BOWL Encounter

Cesia We encounter Cesia

How can you support those, worldwide, who are forced to flee their homes to find safety or better opportunities? Visit crsricebowl.org for more.

Stations of the Cross during Lent—We are pray-

ing the Stations of the Cross every Friday after Mass during Lent. This is where we walk with Jesus to Calva-ry. It is a great way to encounter Jesus through prayer.

Thank You—Our profound thanks to parishioners for

their untiring support for John during his extended ill-ness, surgery and recovery. Without your prayers, cards and well wishes we couldn’t have endured the serious and debilitating disease and subsequent surgery. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. We are truly blessed with a loving, nurturing, and supportive church community. With a thankful heart, John and Carol York
