O ur readings today describe turning points for those whom God has cho-

sen. In Genesis, God calls Abram to leave his homeland, with the promise of forming a people in a new land. In the Gospel, the disciples see Jesus literally in a new light, the bright light of Jesus’ transfiguration. They begin to see Jesus, and themselves, in a new way. These are times when God presents a new way forward, providing new purpose and energy. Our lives too have their own turning points, where God is working (usually in less spectacular fash-ion) to lead us into fuller maturity, and into deeper unity with God and others. The road ahead, as with Abram, Jesus, and the disci-ples, may be long and difficult. Lent can be a time when we reflect upon these turning points in our past, and consider how God may be stirring something new in us today. BLEST TO BE A BLESSING The first eleven chapters of Genesis tell the story of the tragedy of human separation from God. But God has not given up on hu-manity. God is on a mission to reconcile and heal all of creation. In today’s reading from Genesis 12, we see the beginning of God’s new strategy: to begin with a single person (Abram, later renamed Abraham) and family and form them into a distinct people, so that all peoples may see God’s blessing in them, and share in this blessing. God’s chosen people are not selected sim-ply to receive blessing, but to serve as ex-amples and agents of blessing. God blesses people not only for their own bene-fit but for all. When we fully thank God, we

also accept God’s call to bless others. We the Church receive God’s grace precisely so that we may share grace with others. LISTEN TO HIM In today’s Gospel describing Jesus’ trans-figuration, we hear of the disciples’ vision of Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. Peter, perhaps understandably, responds by trying to en-shrine the moment by building tents for them. However, God interrupts and speaks words identical to those spoken at Jesus’ baptism: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” But here God adds, “listen to him.”

Listening to God can take various forms. At some moments, as when we receive new insight or are deeply moved, we want to jump into action. Sometimes this is appro-priate and necessary. But sometimes God interrupts our eagerness, and calls us to further reflection or simply to listen in si-lence.

Reflection and action are of course both essential to our faith journey. Yet we recall that God may often speak through silence. Contemplative practice, rich in tradition within our Catholic faith, reminds us that God invites us to an encounter within si-lence. In contemplative prayer, we open ourselves and simply wait upon God. We might encounter a divine Presence beyond words.

The first session began last Thursday—the next one will take place on March 19th. All meetings will take place in Fr. Freddie’s office. Each session’s studies will be based on the readings for the following Sunday. All are welcome to attend.

St. Joseph’s Table Next Sunday: Our Annual St. Joseph’s Table will be held next Sunday, Mar. 15th from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 Noon in the Parish Hall. All are invited to come celebrate the Feast Day of St. Joseph a few days early. A simple breakfast will be served (strata, potatoes, coffee and pastries) at a cost of $5.00 per person. Religious articles will also be available for purchase (no fixed price—donation only). Donations of pastries grate-fully accepted. Additionally, volunteers are needed to help. All proceeds collected will benefit our Christian Service Center. Please join us for a morning of fellowship! For more information, or to volunteer, please contact Frances Luna at (626) 327-6147.

Spanish Lenten Mission: Lent is a time to renew our hearts and to walk more closely with Jesus. As part of our upcoming Spanish Lenten Mission, the Divine Mercy Ministry will be offering two days of retreat. On Tuesday, March 17th, Fr. Agustin de la Vega from Radio Guadalupe will give us a talk about forgiveness from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. On Thurs-day, March 19th, there will be a bi-lingual Divine Mercy Mass at 7:00 p.m. All are invited.

Unauthorized Text Messages: Once again, we’ve been made aware that several parishioners have received a supposed text message from Fr. Freddie, requesting them to secure gift cards or money for a need of his. Please be advised that none of our priests would ever request assistance like this from anyone. If you receive one of these messages, delete it immediately. Thank you.

Mass And Healing Service: Bishop David O’Connell will celebrate a Mass and Healing Service at St. Lorenzo Ruiz Catholic Church on Friday, Mar. 20th. The Rosary will be recited at 6:00 p.m.; there will be Stations of the Cross at 6:30 p.m., and Mass will begin at 7:00 p.m. St. Lorenzo Ruiz Church is located at 727 Meadow Pass Road in Walnut. Please call (909) 595-9545 for additional information. All are welcome.

The Communion Cup and Sign Of Peace Vs. Illness: With the cold and flu season upon us, as well as other significant health considera-tions, it is important to be reminded of basic health concerns, Christian courtesy and respect for one another. Regarding the Cup, it is your choice to receive from the Communion Cup or not. The Cup is wiped clean after each use; however, if you feel ill, it is Christian courtesy to refrain from taking from the Cup out of respect for others. The use of disposable cups is not allowed, as this is disrespectful to the true Blood of Christ. Likewise, it is advisable not to engage another in a handshake during the Sign of Peace if you do not feel well. If someone declines your hand, it is not out of disrespect for you; in Christian charity we welcome the alternative ges-ture of peace they might extend to us; namely a smile, followed by a wave or a bow. We are confident of your goodness and we trust your judgment. Please do what is most comfortable for you at worship so that you remain holy and healthy. Thank you and God bless.

Did You Know? Online chat rooms are great places for people to connect over shared in-terests and ideas. But for young children and teenagers who may not be internet-savvy, they are also a great place for predators to lay groundwork in a chat room; anyone can be whomever they want -- and predators hide behind personas of friends. Talk to your child about online safety rules, such as never agreeing to meet in person and never providing personal and identifying information. Review chats frequently to ensure that your child is engaging in safe conversations. For more tips on chat room safety, request a copy of the VIRTUS article “Exposing the Dangers of Internet Chat Rooms” at https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.

Sau khi các môn đệ xuống núi, cũng có Đức Giêsu đi theo, vậy tại sao các môn

đệ lại trở lại với cá tính sợ sệt khi Ngài chịu chết. Rồi cả sau khi Chúa Giêsu đã về trời và ngự bên Hữu Đức Chúa Cha, các ngài cũng còn rơi vào tình trạng sơ xệt. Đó là vì các ngài vẫn sống trong thân xác của con người cũ. Con người cần phải được biến truyển, cho đến khi con người dám can đảm quy phục và dâng hết cho Chúa, để được thốt lên lời, "Tôi sống, không phải tôi, nhưng chính Chúa sống trong tôi.” Lúc đó, những cơn sợ xệt biến tan, và thấy mình chìm sâu trong trái tim Chúa. Hãy nghe lại lời của Chúa Cha: “Đây là Con yêu dấu của Ta. Ta hài lòng về Người. Các ngươi hãy nghe lời Người”. Lời đầu tiên Chúa Giêsu nói với các môn đệ liền tiếp sau đó là: “Chỗi dậy đi, đừng sợ!” Vậy mà đức tin của các ngài vẫn bị ba chìm bảy nổi trong những lúc bị thử thách. Vậy đến lúc nào thì hình ảnh các Ngài được chiếu sáng? Khi các Ngài tụ tập trong phòng kín để đợi chờ ơn Chúa Thánh Thần, Đấng mà Chúa Giêsu đã hứa ban. Và các Ngài đã lên đường từ đó. Hôm nay Chúa vẫn đang nói với chúng ta những điều ấy. Đừng sợ trước thân phận yếu hèn và tội lỗi, hãy trở về với Chúa vì Chúa bao dung nhân từ. Đừng sợ khi giúp đỡ anh chị em bất hạnh cô thế, cô thân, vì Chúa sẽ thưởng cho lòng quảng đại rộng rãi của chúng ta. Đừng sợ trước những bất ổn của cuộc sống do bạo lực, cạnh tranh và chia rẽ, vì Chúa hiện diện giữa cuộc đời. Người là Đấng đang biến hình giữa chúng ta. Bạn có thấy mình tụ tập trong phòng kín để đón nhận Đấng mà Ngài hứa ban không? Vậy, phòng kín của bạn ở đâu?

Bài đọc 1 St 12,1-4a

Thiên Chúa gọi ông Áp-ram, tổ phụ dân Người.

Bài đọc 2 2 Tm 1,8b-10

Thiên Chúa kêu gọi và soi sáng chúng ta.

Tin Mừng Mt4,1-11

✠ Tin Mừng Chúa Giê-su Ki-tô theo thánh Mát-thêu.

Khi ấy, Đức Giê-su đem các ông Phê-rô, Gia-cô-bê và Gio-an là em ông Gia-cô-bê đi theo mình. Người đưa các ông đi riêng ra một chỗ, tới một ngọn núi cao. Rồi Người biến đổi hình dạng trước mặt các ông. Dung nhan Người chói lọi như mặt trời, và y phục Người trở nên trắng tinh như ánh sáng. Và bỗng các ông thấy ông Mô-sê và ông Ê-li-a hiện ra đàm đạo với Người. Bấy giờ ông Phê-rô thưa với Đức Giê-su rằng: “Lạy Ngài, chúng con ở đây, thật là hay! Nếu Ngài muốn, con xin dựng tại đây ba cái lều, một cho Ngài, một cho ông Mô-sê, và một cho ông Ê-li-a.” Ông còn đang nói, chợt có đám mây sáng ngời bao phủ các ông, và có tiếng từ đám mây phán rằng: “Đây là Con yêu dấu của Ta, Ta hài lòng về Người. Các ngươi hãy vâng nghe lời Người!” Nghe vậy, các môn đệ kinh hoàng, ngã sấp mặt xuống đất. Bấy giờ Đức Giê-su lại gần, chạm vào các ông và bảo: “Trỗi dậy đi, đừng sợ!” Các ông ngước mắt lên, không thấy ai nữa, chỉ còn một mình Đức Giê-su mà thôi. Đang khi thầy trò từ trên núi xuống, Đức Giê-su truyền cho các ông rằng: “Đừng nói cho ai hay thị kiến ấy, cho đến khi Con Người từ cõi chết trỗi dậy.”

Suy Niệm

Xin đổ tình thương xuống chúng con, lạy húa,như chúng con hằng trông cậy nơi Ngài.

L os primeros once capítulos del libro del Gé-nesis cuentan la historia de la tragedia de la

separación humana de Dios. Pero Dios no ha abandonado a la humanidad. Dios está en una misión para reconciliar y sanar a toda la creación. En las lecturas de hoy, del capítulo 12 del libro del Génesis, vemos el comienzo de una nueva estrategia de Dios: empezar con una per-sona sencilla (Abram, después llamado Abrahán) y familia y formarlos en personas diferentes, para que todas las personas puedan ver la bendición de Dios en ellos, y compartir esta bendición. El pueblo elegido no fue elegido simplemente para recibir esta bendición, sino para servir como ejemplo y representantes de esta bendición. Dios bendice a las personas no solamente para su propio beneficio sino para el de todos. Cuando agradecemos plenamente a Dios, también acep-tamos la llamada de Dios para bendecir a otros. Nosotros, la Iglesia, recibimos la gracia de Dios precisamente para que podamos compartir la gracia con los demás. ESCUCHÁNDOLO A ÉL El Evangelio de hoy, describiendo la transfigu-ración de Jesús, escuchamos de los apóstoles la revelación de Jesús, Moisés y Elías. Pedro, com-

prensiblemente, responde intentando consagrar el momento construyendo chozas para ellos. Sin embargo, Dios interrumpe y habla con palabras idénticas a las habladas en el bautismo de Jesús: “Este es mi Hijo amado, en quien me complazco”. Pero aquí, Dios añade “escúchenlo”. Escuchar a Dios puede tomar varias formas. En algunos momentos, así como cuando recibimos nueva luz o estamos profundamente conmovi-dos, queremos ir a la acción. Algunas veces esto es apropiado y necesario. Pero otras veces, Dios interrumpe nuestro entusiasmo, y nos llama a una reflexión más profunda o simplemente a es-cuchar en silencio. La reflexión y la acción son desde luego esencia-les para nuestro camino de fe. Sin embargo, re-cordamos que Dios a menudo puede hablar a través del silencio. La práctica contemplativa, rica en tradición en nuestra fe católica, nos re-cuerda que Dios nos invita a un encuentro dentro del silencio. En la oración contemplativa, nos abrimos y simplemente esperamos en Dios. Po-dríamos encontrar la divina presencia más allá de las palabras. Lecturas de hoy: Gn 12:1–4a; Sal 33 (32):4–5, 18–19, 20, 22; 2 Tim 1:8b–10; Mt 17:1–9
