Jesus, thank You for giving Your church the understanding to have
this season of Lent.
Thank You Jesus, for the opportunity this gives us to truly look at
ourselves and see what needs to be improved and changed.
Jesus, we can learn to control, but only You can change us.
Jesus, bring us to Your Body in adoration and let us sit and learn.
Let us pray and grow.
Let us feel Your peace and accept You truly as our Lord and God.
Thank You Jesus, for the Eucharist. Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday TRANSFIGURED HOPE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/28/2010
"While He was praying, His face changed in appearance and His clothes
became dazzlingly white." —Luke 9:29
On the second Sunday of Lent, we always focus on Jesus'
Transfiguration. We begin Lent in the desert (Lk 4:1), quickly climb
Transfiguration Mountain, and quickly return to the desert. We end
Lent on the verge of climbing Mount Calvary on the way to the cross.
Today marks the highest point of Lent. We will not return to this
elevation until we celebrate Jesus' Resurrection and Ascension. Today
Jesus chooses us to climb Transfiguration Mountain. Here we see the
glory of Jesus and the glory of heaven. Because of this experience, we
can assure those struggling through Lent and through life that the
sufferings of the present are "as nothing compared with the glory to
be revealed in us" (Rm 8:18). We can tell the world that, no matter how
long we spend in the desert or how painful the climb up Mount Calvary,
Jesus "will give a new form to this lowly body of ours and remake it
according to the pattern of His glorified body, by His power to subject
everything to Himself" (Phil 3:21). Despite Satan tempting us in our
Lenten desert, in Jesus our victory is assured and our future glorious.
Because of the Transfiguration, we are filled with hope that will not
leave us disappointed (Rm 5:5). The roughest Lent will result in the
most glorious Easter. The transfigured Christ is the hope and promise
of the risen Christ. Praise Jesus!
Monday MORE OR LESS?

"Give, and it shall be given to you. Good measure pressed down,
shaken together, running over, will they pour into the fold of your
garment. For the measure you measure with will be measured back
to you." —Luke 6:38
Tuesday GOOD LEARNING
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=3/2/2010

Dear brother I am very anxious about my family. I am very upset because
my wife and my children are not in good health and more over even my
work and business doesn't flow smoothly. My wife is suffering from so
many complications – one after another – first she suffered from skin
disease, then allergies, and then headache and then blood pressure
and what not. Even my children also are suffering from one after another.
I could not understand and even sometimes I feel disheartened and
even my world came to a stand still. My work also is hampered due to all
the troubles and tribulations. Even I am a man but sometimes I feel as if
my caliber is turn into a looser and timid. I have no alternative but to
request you my dear friend in Christ to remember me and my family in
prayers. Your brother in Christ

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2009-08.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
PEACE AND CREATION
"IMMENSE CONSEQUENCE"
Respect for creation is of immense consequence, not least because
"creation is the beginning and foundation of all God's works, "
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, 198) and its preservation has now
become essential for the pacific coexistence of mankind.
DISRUPTED HARMONY
The harmony between the Creator, mankind and the created world ...
was disrupted by the sin of Adam and Eve, by man and woman, who
wanted to take the place of God and refused to acknowledge that
they were His creatures.
"CHILLING PROSPECTS"
The ecological problem must be dealt with not only because of the
chilling prospects of environmental degradation on the horizon; the
real motivation must be the quest for authentic world-wide solidarity
inspired by the values of charity, justice and the common good.
