Lent is indeed meant to be a time of repentance and penitence, a time of sacrifice and reflection in which we acknowledge the weight of suffering in the world and in our lives, suffering that always has its roots in sin. This suffering is always part of the story of every human life, with or without Christ; but with Christ, it is not the end of the story. Crosses purify us of selfishness, if we allow them to, teaching us to lean more on Christ and to have a greater experience of his wisdom and joy - his resurrection. In our Catholic faith, the cross and resurrection are two sides of the same coin; we must never allow ourselves to think of one without thinking of the other. Think of running Marathons with Christ.

Since then, Ryan has been trying to glorify God by developing his running talent and bearing witness to his faith. His wild success in high school and college enabled him to launch a professional career. While training for the Olympics, his daily schedule was like this: rise at 7am, eat breakfast, run 10 to 12 miles; eat lunch, have a massage or an ice bath to ease the muscles take an afternoon nap to recover from the morning workout run another five to six miles, go to the gym for strength and flexibility exercises; eat dinner, go to bed. That schedule is similar to most professional marathon runners. But on the night before a big race, Ryan's schedule breaks the mold. Instead of relaxing or listening to music, he watches Mel Gibson's movie, The Passion of the Christ, to get mentally prepared. The example of Christ's suffering and resurrection helps him manage his pain during the race. He recalled being in agony in the final two miles of the London Marathon in April 2007, where his top performance shocked his competitors. His body was being stifled by a combination of 70-degree heat and a suffocating pace he had set earlier in the race. How was able to keep up his pace? Here's how he explained it: "I actually saw visions of the scarred body of Jesus, and it made me able to go on." If we bear our crosses with Christ, we will also experience the power of Christ's resurrection - the two always go together. May God Bless You, Fr. Dan

LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Parishioners,

We are still at the beginning of Lent, this season of repentance

and penitence, but today the Church is already talking to us

about the Resurrection. In the transfiguration of Jesus in today's

Gospel, Peter, James, and John get a glimpse of Christ's eternal

glory, the glory he claimed fully after the resurrection. St Paul, in

today's Second Reading, writes passionately about God's power

and faithfulness as revealed in Christ. And he actually changes

his emphasis mid-sentence to take the spotlight off Christ's

death on the cross and let it shine on his glorious resurrection.

And in the passage about Abraham and Isaac, which narrates

events that took place almost 2000 years before Christ, the

release of Isaac from his bonds gives him new life - this too is a

symbol of Christ's resurrection. Even today's Psalm, when it

speaks about walking with the Lord in the Land of the living and

God "loosening the bonds" of his servant, is pointing our

attention towards Christ's glorious resurrection. And yet, Easter

is still more than a month away!

What's going on here? It's very simple, really. Lent is indeed

meant to be a time of repentance and penitence, a time of

sacrifice and reflection in which we acknowledge the weight of

suffering in the world and in our lives, suffering that always has

its roots in sin. This suffering is always part of the story of every

human life, with or without Christ; but with Christ, it is not the

end of the story. Crosses purify us of selfishness, if we allow

them to, teaching us to lean more on Christ and to have a

greater experience of his wisdom and joy - his resurrection. In

our Catholic faith, the cross and resurrection are two sides of

the same coin; we must never allow ourselves to think of one

without thinking of the other. Think of running Marathons with

Christ. Ryan Hall, the professional marathon runner who

competed for the United States in the 2008 Summer Olympics in

Beijing, understands this concept well. Ryan is a Christian, and

his running career has always been linked to his faith. While in

eighth grade and doing a 15-mile run in his hometown of Big

Bear Lake, California, he suddenly felt a calling to compete in

running at the highest levels: "I felt God had blessed me with

this talent," he said in an interview years later. Since then, Ryan

has been trying to glorify God by developing his running talent

and bearing witness to his faith. His wild success in high school

and college enabled him to launch a professional career.

While training for the Olympics, his daily schedule was like this:

• rise at 7am, eat breakfast, run 10 to 12 miles;

• eat lunch, have a massage or an ice bath to ease the

muscles

• take an afternoon nap to recover from the morning

workout

• run another five to six miles, go to the gym for strength

and

• flexibility exercises;

• eat dinner, go to bed.

That schedule is similar to most professional marathon runners.

But on the night before a big race, Ryan's schedule breaks the

mold. Instead of relaxing or listening to music, he watches Mel

Gibson's movie, The Passion of the Christ, to get mentally

prepared. The example of Christ's suffering and resurrection

helps him manage his pain during the race. He recalled being in

agony in the final two miles of the London Marathon in April

2007, where his top performance shocked his competitors. His

body was being stifled by a combination of 70-degree heat and a

suffocating pace he had set earlier in the race. How was able to

keep up his pace? Here's how he explained it: "I actually saw

visions of the scarred body of Jesus, and it made me able to go

on."

If we bear our crosses with Christ, we will also experience the

power of Christ's resurrection - the two always go together.

May God Bless You, Fr. Dan

SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2018 SEGUNDO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA DOMINGO 25 DE FEBRERO DEL 2018

CARTA DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO Queridos Feligreses,

Estamos todavía en el comienzo de la Cuaresma, es tiempo de arrepentimiento y penitencia, pero hoy la Iglesia ya nos está hablando a nosotros acerca de la resurrección. En la Transfiguración de Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy, Pedro, Santiago y Juan echan un vistazo de la gloria eterna de Cristo, la gloria aclamada completamente después de la resurrección. San Pablo, en la segunda lectura de hoy, escribe apasionadamente sobre el poder de Dios y la fidelidad como se revela en Cristo. Y él realmente cambia su énfasis de media condena para tomar el punto de mira de la muerte de Cristo en la Cruz y dejar brillar en su gloriosa resurrección. En el pasaje acerca de Abraham e Isaac, que narra eventos que tuvieron lugar casi 2000 años antes de Cristo, la liberación de Isaac de sus ataduras le da nueva vida - esto también es un símbolo de la resurrección de Cristo. Incluso el Salmo de hoy, cuando habla de caminar con el Señor en la tierra de Dios vivo "aflojando los vínculos” de su servidor dirige nuestra atención asía la gloriosa resurrección. ¡Y sin embargo, todavía falta un mes para la pascua! ¿Qué está sucediendo aquí? Es muy simple, realmente. La cuaresma de hecho pretende ser un tiempo de arrepentimiento y penitencia, un tiempo de sacrificio y reflexión en el que reconocemos el peso del sufrimiento en el mundo y en nuestras vidas, sufrimiento que siempre tiene sus raíces en el pecado. Este sufrimiento es siempre parte de la historia de cada vida humana, con o sin Cristo; pero con Cristo, no es el final de la historia. Las cruces nos purifican del egoísmo, si permitimos que nos enseñen a inclinarnos más a Cristo y tener una mayor experiencia de su sabiduría y alegría - su resurrección. En nuestra fe católica, la Cruz y la resurrección son dos caras de una misma moneda; nunca debemos dejar de pensar en una sin pensar en la otra. Pensar en correr maratones con Cristo. Ryan Hall, el maratonista profesional que compitió por Estados Unidos en los Juegos Olímpicos en el 2008 en Beijing, entiende este concepto muy bien" Ryan es un cristiano, y su carrera de ejecución ha estado siempre vinculada a su fe. Cuando estaba en octavo grado y haciendo una carrera de 15 millas en su ciudad natal de Big Bear Lake, California, de repente sintió un llamado a competir y correr en los niveles más altos: "Sentí que Dios me había bendecido con este talento", dijo en una entrevista años más tarde. Desde entonces, Ryan ha estado tratando de glorificar a Dios mediante el desarrollo de su talento corriendo y dando testimonio de su fe. Su éxito salvaje en la secundaria y la Universidad le permitió iniciar una carrera profesional. Mientras entrenaba para los Juegos Olímpicos, su horario era así:

• Levantarse a la 7:00, desayunar, correr de 10 a 12 millas;

• Comer, tener un masaje o un baño de hielo para aliviar los músculos;

• Tomar una siesta para recuperarse del entrenamiento de la mañana;

• Correr otras cinco o seis millas, ir al gimnasio para ejercicios de fuerza y flexibilidad;

• Cenar, ir a la cama. Ese horario es similar a corredores de maratones profesionales. Pero la noche antes de una gran carrera, Ryan rompe el molde de su horario. En lugar de relajarse o escuchar música, mira películas de Gibson, la pasión de Cristo, para prepararse mentalmente. El ejemplo de sufrimiento y resurrección de Cristo le ayuda a administrar su dolor durante la carrera. Recordó estar en agonía en el final de dos millas de la maratón de Londres en abril de 2007, donde su rendimiento sorprendió a sus competidores. Su cuerpo estaba siendo sofocado por una combinación de calor de 70 grados y un asfixiante ritmo había que fijado anteriormente en la carrera. ¿Cómo fue capaz de mantener su ritmo? Así es cómo lo ha explicado: "realmente vi visiones del cuerpo con cicatrices de Jesús, y eso me hizo capaz de seguir". Si tenemos nuestras cruces con Cristo, también experimentaremos el poder de la resurrección de Cristo - los dos siempre van de la mano.

Que Dios te bendiga, Fr. Dan

2º domingo de Cuaresma Para que podamos responder: "Aquí estoy, Señor", cuando sea, donde sea y como sea que Dios nos llame a servirle. "<<¡Aquí estoy!>>, Respondió. "- Genesis 22:11 Es fácil decir: "Aquí estoy, Señor", cuando estamos arrodillados en la iglesia. Pero ¿qué tan fácil es decir "Aquí estoy, Señor", cuando un vecino necesita nuestra ayuda, cuando nos invitan a unirnos a un ministerio parroquial, o cuando se nos pide que brindemos apoyo financiero? Muchas veces nos llaman cuando no nos conviene. El discipulado no siempre es fácil, la mayoría de las veces nos hará sentir incómodos y vulnerables.

2nd Sunday of Lent

That we may answer, “Here I am, Lord,” whenever,

wherever and however God calls us to serve Him.

It is easy to say, “Here I am, Lord,” when we are

kneeling in church. But how easy is it to say “Here I am,

Lord,” when a neighbor needs our help, when we are

invited to join a parish ministry, or when we are asked

to provide financial support? Often times we are called

when it’s not convenient for us. Discipleship is not

always easy, most of the time it will make us

uncomfortable and vulnerable. INTERESTED IN BEREAVEMENT CLASSES? If so, please contact the church office at 713-468-9555 and leave your name and phone number with the receptionist and one of the members from the Bereavement Team will contact you for more information on the classes.

OPERATION RICE BOWL - We are disciples for all nations.

As Jesus’ disciples, we are called to care for our brothers and sisters in all nations. Each year, Operation Rice Bowl invites us to pray with our families and faith communities; fast in

solidarity with those who hunger; learn more about our global community and the challenges of poverty overseas; and give

sacrificial contributions to those in need. Again, and during Lent, we will have little purple boxes at the exit doors to collaborate with donations which will be used to help the hungry and the poor in other countries. Please pick up your box today and return it in the Easter Sunday collection baskets.

HOUR FOR LIFE

RESPECT LIFE: Parents are the most fundamental defenders of life; they will die for their children's sake. Disrupt the family and you disrupt life, but not death. Death goes on. Our increasingly secular society sanctions abortion and euthanasia and battles to celebrate sterile unions that cannot naturally populate the world. We are in dissolution, so lonely that we are killing ourselves, so earth-bound in our thinking that we throw people away. - Elizabeth Scalia
