The Holy Father speaks… Catholics should ask themselves “Am I a hypocrite who smiles and then turns around to criticize and destroy with my tongue? If, by the end of Lent, we are able to correct this a bit and not go around always criticizing others behind their backs, I assure you Jesus’ resurrection will be more beautiful.

Second Sunday in Lent: The Transfiguration
Gospel Lk 9:28b-36
Il Vangelo di oggi parla della trasfigurazione, parola che significa “cambiare di aspetto” e che descrive la gloria di Cristo e anticipa la risurrezione. Perché la Chiesa ci parla della trasfigurazione durante la seconda Domenica di quaresima? 1) Per confermarci che Gesù è vero Dio e Figlio di Dio. 2) Per dirci che se Cristo, che è Dio, è stato trasfigurato, anche noi suoi discepoli dobbiamo lottare per cambiare ed essere trasfigurati nella novità del cuore e della mente. 3) La Chiesa ci ricorda che questo glorioso evento deve essere raggiunto attraverso la sofferenza e il dolore. “No croce no corona” dice p. J. Orbos che ci invita a pregare dopo aver ricevuto la Santa Comunione o durante una visita al S. Sacramento: • “Adora il Signore che è nel tuo cuore, accettalo con gioia, umiltà e amore. • Ascolta quello che il Signore dice nel silenzio del tuo cuore. • Ringrazia il Signore per il suo amore, bontà, perdono e pazienza ed anche per le sfide e
problemi che incontri. • Chiedi al Signore ciò di cui hai bisogno, non chiedere solo per te ma anche per gli altri. • Gioisci nel Signore per qualsiasi cosa che ti accade perché lui sarà sempre con te”. La preghiera ci trasforma e cambia. Il volto di Gesù e le sue vesti sono cambiate quando ha pregato. Quando noi preghiamo, l’amore e la misericordia di Dio risplendono nel nostro cuore e nelle relazioni con gli altri.
El Evangelio de hoy, nos habla de La Transfiguración de Jesús en la montaña. La palabra “Transfiguración” significa cambio de apariencia. La Transfiguración nos muestra la Gloria de Cristo y pre-figuración de su Resurrección. ¿Por qué la Iglesia utiliza el mismo Evangelio cada segundo domingo del tiempo de Cuaresma? 1ero. Para confirmar que Jesús es verdadero Dios e Hijo De Dios. 2do. Para hacernos reflexionar que si Cristo se transfiguró siendo Dios, nosotros sus discípulos también debemos esforzarnos en cambiar y transfigurar nuestra mente y corazón. 3ero. La Iglesia nos recuerda que este glorioso momento sólo se logra a través del dolor y el sufrimiento. Esta verdad se aplica a todos nosotros “Sin la cruz, no hay corona”. El P. Jerry Orbos, SVD nos sugiere una forma de oración que podemos hacer antes de la Comunión o durante nuestras visitas al Santísimo. Cuando oremos debemos: • Adorar al Señor, que está en nuestro corazón, aceptarlo con alegría, humildad y amor. • Escuchar al Señor, que está en tu corazón. ¿Qué te dice en el silencio de tu corazón. • Agradecerle al Señor por su bondad y su amor, por su perdón y paciencia aún durante tus
dificultades y problemas. • Pídele al Señor lo que necesitas. No le pidas solo por ti, sino también por los demás. • Alégrate en el Señor, aunque estés pasando momentos difíciles, mantén la alegría y la
esperanza porque Jesús está siempre en tu corazón.
Reflexión La oración nos transforma y nos cambia. El rostro de Jesús cambió cuando el oró, y sus vestiduras se volvieron de un blanco resplandeciente. Cuando oramos el amor y la misericordia de Dios brillan a través de nuestros corazones y en nuestra relación con los demás.

Second Sunday in Lent: The Transfiguration
Gospel Lk 9:28b-36 Jesus took Peter, John, and James and went up the mountain to pray. While he was praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white. And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But he did not know what he was saying. While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my chosen Son; listen to him.” After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen. Today’s gospel, is about the transfiguration of Jesus in the mountain. The word ‘transfiguration’ means a change in form or appearance. Transfiguration event depicts a glimpse of Christ’s glory and a preview of his resurrection. Why does the Church put this gospel every Second Sunday of the year during Lenten season? First, to confirm that Jesus is truly God and truly the Son of God. Second, to make us reflect if Christ was transfigured though God, we His followers should also strive to be changed and to be transfigured in the newness of our minds and hearts. Third, the church reminds us that this glorious event has to be achieved through suffering and pain. This truth applies to all of us. ‘No cross, no crown.’ Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD even suggested a very beautiful prayer that we can say after receiving Holy Communion and during those visits to the Blessed Sacrament. He said that with head bowed, eyes closed and hand over heart, pray the A-L-T-A-R prayer: A–dore the Lord, who is in your heart. Accept Him with joy, humility and love. L–isten to the Lord, who is in your heart. What is He telling you in the silence of your heart? T–hank the Lord for His goodness and love, for His forgiveness and patience even for your challenges and problems. A–sk the Lord for anything you need. Ask not only for yourself but for others too. R–Rejoice in the Lord, whatever you’re going through. Be glad, be hopeful because Jesus is in your heart and because He will be with you always. Reflection: Prayer transforms and changes us. Jesus’ face changed when He prayed, and His clothing became dazzling white. God’s love and mercy shine forth in our hearts and in our relationship when we pray.
耶稣显圣容
今天的福音是关于耶稣在山上显圣容，显圣容是显示耶稣基督的荣耀和复活的神圣一面。为
什么教会在第二周选用这段福音：第一， 确定耶稣是真神，天主的儿子。第二，我们要反
省，天主使耶稣改变了面容，我们跟随他的人也要从思想和心里改变我们的面容。第三，教
会提醒我们，要得到主的荣耀必须要经过受苦和痛苦才能获得。圣言会的杰瑞神父提醒我们
在领圣体和朝拜圣体时要收心，闭目祈祷。
朝拜你内的主，怀着爱主，谦卑和喜乐的心接纳祂。
聆听你内的主，在你心里天主默默地告诉了你什么？
感谢天主的慈爱，宽恕，忍耐，挑战和给予的困难。
祈求主赐予你和他人所需要的一切。
无论你经历了什么，在主内要喜乐，怀着希望因为主在你心里永远和你在一起。
反省 祈求主改变我们。当主耶稣祈祷时他的面容改变了，身体散发着荣耀的光芒，当我们祈
祷时，主的慈爱和怜悯的荣光会照耀着我们。
