The Second Sunday in Lent
March 17, 2019
In this Sunday’s Gospel Lk 9:28b-36, we move to the glory shown in Jesus' Transfiguration.
The Transfiguration takes place on a mountain in the presence of Peter, James and John who were sleeping. They awaken and see Jesus’ appearance is changing to bright white, and he is speaking with two men, Elijah and Moses.
The three disciples then hear the voice of the Father. "This is my chosen Son; listen to him." With those words, the disciples are told that Jesus is the one they are to listen to and follow. Moses and Elijah, representing the law and the prophets, have been superseded by someone who embodies the fullness of the truth.
To follow that command from God, we must listen to the words and teachings of Jesus that are comforting and uplifting and that seem to endorse our view of life. But we also must listen to the words and teachings of Jesus that make us uncomfortable.
We must listen to everything of Jesus and not only to those portions that we like. That program includes sometimes denying what we want so we can live as God wants. It includes embracing Gospel values and not the values of our secular society. It means being unashamed to be known as a follower of Jesus Christ. It means showing mercy, care, and tenderness to the least among us.
As we move through our lives, God tells us very clearly, "This is my chosen Son; listen to him."

Getting to know... THE SOUND of MUSIC
When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate service in their navy. The family's narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre. Join us for this amazing journey!

- Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
What is R.C.I.A.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the coming home of any adult into the full and warm embrace of God the Father and Holy Mother Church. It is a joyous time of growth, healing, and love in the life of any adult who comes to a relationship of faith, hope and love in God through Jesus Christ. Receiving the Sacraments of Initiation, namely Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist, the adult catechumen or candidate is welcomed into the full life of the Church and encouraged to engage in the life and ministries of the Church as faith leads to action.
The adult catechumen or candidate is also exposed to the life of holiness, a call from God experienced by all people, and the many ways he or she can live that call as a servant of Christ and His Church. The catechumen or candidate is exposed to the different spiritual traditions of the Church, as well as her charitable and liturgical activities and ministries, so that he or she can find a home in the life of the Church and contribute his or her gifts and talents to the building up of the kingdom of God.
RCIA is an 8-month process by which adult, baptized Catholics complete their sacraments of initiation, and those who would like to become Catholic for the first time receive their sacraments, is beginning registration now. If you, or someone you know, is interested in joining these sessions, please call the Parish Office at (973) 696-1234.
