May they experience God’s healing love and May they experience God’s healing love and May they experience God’s healing love and May they experience God’s healing love and comfort.comfort.comfort.comfort.
March 17, 2019, 2nd Sunday of Lent By Sue Robb INTRODUCTION Our readings today remind us to keep our eyes fixed on heaven. God asks Abram to look up at the sky and count the stars. Philippians reminds us our citizenship is in heaven. Peter, James and John’s eyes are fixed heavenward as they climb the mountain and witness Jesus’ transfiguration. Where are our eyes fixed? On our electronics, on what others have? Today, let us ask for the grace to fix our eyes and hearts heavenward.
PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL Let us fix our gaze on the God of our ancestors who constantly invites us to lift our minds and hearts heavenward, trusting that our prayers will be heard. For church leaders who live in fear of change; for a transformation that includes the voices of the marginalized; for healing for all innocent victims who have been harmed by abuse, cover-up and lies; for courage to reach out to those who have fallen away, we pray: • For world leaders to have compassion and courage to reach beyond the borders and pursue peace; for just conditions and wages for all laborers; for an end to human trafficking and modern-day slavery, we pray: • For our Jewish brothers and sisters; for a deeper appreciation and acceptance of all religions and traditions especially ones unfamiliar to us, we pray: • For those who live under clouds of darkness and fear; for those who suffer from depression and mental illness; those who live in unsafe communities; and for those who do not believe in God, we pray: • For strength to keep our eyes lifted toward heaven and so avoid earthly lures that draw us away from our faith and relationships; for renewed effort this Lenten season to faithfully carry out corporal and spiritual works of mercy, we pray: • For our loved ones who are sick; for those from whom we are estranged; for first responders who protect us, and for all who have gone before us, we pray: Prayer God of the covenant and giver of all that is good, hear the prayers we have spoken and those we hold in the quiet of our hearts. In the name of Jesus, we lift our hearts, minds and prayers to heaven, trusting in your love and mercy. Amen

HOLY FAMILY PARISH 2nd Sunday of Lent
'Este é o meu Filho, o Escolhido. Escutai o que ele diz!'
II Dom Quaresma (Ano C): – Gênesis 15,5- 12.17-18; Salmo 27(26); Filipenses 3,17-4,1; Lucas 9,28b-36 O episódio da transfiguração é narrado à luz da fé pascal, onde a glória de Jesus resplandece plenamente através da vitória sobre a morte. Moisés e Elias representam a Lei e os Profetas e já estão revestidos de glória, participando da nova condição. Pedro, João e Tiago testemunham que o caminho de Jesus realiza as promessas da salvação, em conformidade com a vontade de Deus. A conversa sobre a saída deste mundo, que Jesus iria consumar em Jerusalém (v.31), é o ápice desta revelação. O sono dos discípulos mostra a incompreensão diante do mistério de Cristo, o Messias sofredor, que passa pelo caminho da cruz para chegar à glória. Os discípulos compreenderão o sentido da saída, isto é, do êxodo, da passagem de Jesus da morte para a vida, após a ressurreição. Eles, representados por Pedro, necessitam ser iluminados pelo Senhor para testemunhar a fé a todos os que estão na planície. A voz do Pai, como no batismo, declara Jesus como Filho amado (3,22) e convida a escutá-lo. A promessa da terra e de descendência numerosa orienta Abraão a seguir o caminho da fé obediente, que mantém a esperança no Deus da aliança, fiel à sua palavra (1ª leitura). O salmo expressa a confiança de viver na presença do Senhor e de seguir seus caminhos. A 2ª leitura ressalta que somos cidadãos do céu, chamados a viver a vida nova no Senhor ressuscitado.
O caminho do discipulado supõe a compreensão da paixão e da cruz de Jesus através do acolhimento à sua palavra. Cristo realiza as promessas da salvação de forma gratuita, transformando quem o segue e o testemunha por meio do amor fraterno a serviço do Reino.
Neste domingo da transfiguração do Senhor, vamos subir a montanha com Jesus. Renovemos o nosso compromisso de escutar e praticar a Palavra do Filho Amado do Pai, que sem medo, entrega a própria vida pela redenção do mundo. Ele transformará o nosso corpo humilhado e o tornará semelhante ao seu corpo glorioso, como diz São Paulo. Transformados nele, sejamos capazes de nos comprometer com as mudanças necessárias para eliminar da face da terra todo tipo de dor, de tristeza e de miséria que desfiguram as pessoas.
(Extraído da Revista de Liturgia) Oração
Ó Senhor, nosso Deus, que nos mandaste ouvir o teu Filho muito amado,
alimenta-nos sempre com a tua palavra, para que, com fé firme e pura, tenhamos nossa alegria na glória de Cristo, por quem te pedimos,
na unidade do Espírito Santo. Amém.

DEDUCTIONS FOR CAREGIVERS Caring for others can often be costly, but there are tax deductions availa-ble for caregivers. The person you’re caring for must be a spouse or dependent, defined by the IRS as someone for whom you pay at least 50% of their financial sup-port. The person must be related to you or have lived with you at least a year. Here are a few often overlooked deductions: Mileage & Lodging: doctor appointments, overnight stays (for medical purposes) and medical procedures all count. Keep a record of mileage and hotel costs. Home improvements for medical puposes: widening doorways, bathroom safety improvements, lowering kitchen cabinets—all count as long as the improvement doesn’t increase the value of your home. Medical costs—the amount has to be greater than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. Deductions include prescriptions, medical equipment, den-tal expense (including dentures), hearing aids and gandages. Consult a tax professional or the IRS website (IRS PUB 502) for a complete list. Always consult a tax professional or the IRS at irs.gov if you have any questions about qualifying deductions. -Jamie Lynn Byram MBS AFC MS
