Hey all High School youth, I need your input on what you want to do this summer. Do you want to go to a work camp? C.S.I.? AYC? Come to the youth meeting this month to help make a decision on what we should plan for summer activities. Come ready to brain storm…. Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Free PIZZA & soda to all who let me know they are coming! (Please be on time, we have a lot to plan.) La Primavera está a la vuelta de la esquina y todo comienza a nacer, a ponerse verde y a crecer nuevamente. Es realmente sorprendente ver como las plantas son renovadas al calor de la Primavera. Nosotros como gente de Dios, también experimentamos una renovación en nuestra fe. Esta renovación puede pasar de muchas y diferentes maneras. La Renovación puede venir de los Sacramentos, de la oración, por medio de la Meditación en las Escrituras, y de muchas otras formas…..Durante la Cuaresma, estamos viendo más gente en la celebración Eucarística de las Misas diarias. La Cuaresma nos ha dado la oportunidad de hacer cambios en nuestra vida para que podamos escuchar al Señor más atentamente. San Pablo nos dice: Renovarse por el Espíritu desde dentro…. (Efesios 4:22-25). Queridos amigos, el mensaje de la Transfiguración es que hay una conexión entre el Sufrimiento, la Muerte, la Resurrección y la Gloria. Cuando las cosas son diferentes es bueno recordar que no hay atajos hacia la gloria. La verdadera felicidad y tranquilidad de conciencia vienen solamente después del Calvario, porque la Cruz y el sufrimiento son inescapables. La Transfiguración es acerca de dejar que la Gloria de Dios brillé por medio de nosotros para que los demás puedan tener un pequeño vistazo de esa gloria. Jesús llénanos con la luz de tu amor y de tu fe. Haznos brillar en la oscuridad y toca las vidas de los demás con la luz de tu Bondad. Spring is just around the corner and everything is beginning to sprout, turn green and grow again. It’s really amazing how plants are renewed in the warmth of Spring. We as people of God also experience renewal in our faith. This renewal can take place in many different ways. Renewal can come from Sacraments, from prayer, through Meditation on the Scriptures, and many other forms…..During Lent, we are seeing more people at the weekday celebration of the Eucharist. Lent has given us the opportunity to make changes in our life so that we can listen to the Lord more closely. St. Paul tells us: Make a fresh start and change your heart…. (Ephesians 4:22-25). My dear friends, the message of the Transfiguration is that there is a connection between suffering and death and the Resurrection and Glory. When things are different it is good to remember that there is no short cut to Glory. Real happiness and peace of mind only come after Calvary because the Cross and suffering are inescapable. The Transfiguration is about letting the glory of God shine through us so that others can catch a glimpse of that glory. Jesus fills us with the light of your love and faith. Make us shine in the darkness and touch the lives of others with the light of your Goodness. We are in need of volunteers to help with providing food for the remaining youth socials on: Regular Collection this week / Colecion regular esta semana Parish Loan Payment / Parroquia de Pago de Préstamo Diocesan Services Fund Special Collections / Colecta Especial Kate’s Kitchen will have its Annual Spring Turkey Dinner on Thursday, March 11th, here in the church hall, serving from 11:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. The cost of $9.00 a plate will include your beverage and homemade dessert.
