From Father Mike
Lent is a season in which we are all invited to refocus on prayer. For many, this is simply a call to pray more frequently or for
longer durations of time. I have consistently recommended that at a minimum it’s hard to say you have a meaningful
relationship with Christ unless you are in contact with him for at least ten minutes every single day. Others look at different
ways of praying during Lent, especially using the scriptures and allowing the inspired Word of God to spark meditation.
Another dimension of prayer is to remember that the time we sacrifice in spending time with God not only is our way of
glorifying the Lord but is something we can offer on behalf of others, even before we actually pray for them. I am convinced
we often underestimate the power of prayer because we often miss or are not aware of the effects it has on others. It’s part
of why the church has us focus on prayer during Lent just as the bishop has called us to deepen our friendship with Christ
through the Uniting in Heart Plan.
For example, in praying more for our pastorate to be a community of welcome and outreach, I have met over ten persons
new to our area or new to one of our parishes in just the past two months, most of whom are young adults. Also, in working
with our confirmation retreat team, they realized the importance of incorporating prayer not just during the retreat but as part
of the preparation process. This expanded the notion of who is on the team to all of us in the pastorate who can offer extra
prayer specific for our youth preparing for this important sacrament.
Just as today’s gospel story of the transfiguration was a way Jesus was reminding his disciples that they would ultimately
share in his heavenly glory, so we enact this belief when we offer ourselves more fervently in prayer, lift others up to the Jesus,
God’s beloved son, and then listen to him.
De Padre Miguel
La Cuaresma es una época en la cual todos estamos invitados a reenfocarnos en la oración. Para muchos, esto es
simplemente un llamado a orar con más frecuencia o por períodos de tiempo más largos. Siempre he recomendado que, es
difícil decir que tienes una relación significativa con Cristo a menos de que estés en contacto con Él durante por lo menos
diez minutos todos los días. Otros consideran diferentes formas de orar durante la Cuaresma, especialmente usando las
Escrituras y permitiendo que la Palabra inspirada por Dios incite una meditación.
Otra dimensión de la oración es recordar que el tiempo que sacrificamos para pasar tiempo con Dios no sólo es nuestra
forma de glorificar al Señor, sino que es algo que podemos ofrecer a nombre de los demás, incluso antes de orar por ellos.
Estoy convencido de que a menudo subestimamos el poder de la oración porque a menudo no somos conscientes de los
efectos que tiene en los demás. Es parte del por qué la Iglesia nos hace enfocarnos en la oración durante la época de
la Cuaresma, así como el Obispo nos ha llamado a profundizar nuestra amistad con Cristo a través del Plan Unidos de
Corazón.
Por ejemplo, al orar más para que nuestro Pastorado sea una comunidad de bienvenida y de apoyo, he conocido a más
de diez personas nuevas en nuestra área o nuevas en una de nuestras parroquias en los últimos dos meses. La mayoría
de ellos son adultos jóvenes. Además, al trabajar con nuestro equipo del retiro de Confirmación, se dieron cuenta de la
importancia de incorporar la oración no sólo durante el retiro, sino como parte del proceso de preparación. Esto amplió la
noción desde quienes están en el equipo hacia todo el resto de nosotros quienes estamos en el Pastorado, de que podemos
ofrecer una oración adicional específica para nuestros jóvenes quienes se preparan para este importante Sacramento.
Así como la historia del Evangelio de hoy sobre la Transfiguración del Señor, fue una forma en la que Jesús les recordaba a
sus discípulos que ellos finalmente compartirían su gloria celestial, así promulgamos esta creencia cuando nos ofrecemos con
más fervor en la oración, elevando a otros a Jesús, el Hijo amado de Dios y que comprendamos que estamos llamados
a escucharlo.

CONFIRMATION RETREAT
On Friday, March 5th, from 4:00-10:00 PM our Confirmation Students from across the Pastorate will gather at St. Cecilia for a
Retreat. Our Youth will spend the evening reflecting on this passage in Scripture:
1 Peter 1: 13 "Set your hopes completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
We are asking for prayers from everyone as we prepare for this retreat and the encounter with Christ that they will experience.
In the church entry, you will find a flyer with an attachment. We would like for you, our Prayer Angels, to pray intentionally for
our Youth. Please write your name and your sacrificial prayer for them on the attached praying hands cut-out. Examples
include, but not limited to; praying the rosary each day leading to the retreat, praying 5 'Hail Mary's daily, or whatever you feel
called to pray. Return your praying hands to the collection basket this week. We will be using them to visually show the Youth
the love and support they have in our Pastorate. Let us pray that this group of over 30 High Schoolers will become and
continue to be 'A People of Hope'.
El viernes 5 de marzo, de 4:00 PM – 10:00 PM, nuestros estudiantes de Confirmación de todo el Pastorado se reunirán en Santa
Cecilia para un retiro. Nuestra juventud pasará la tarde reflexionando sobre este pasaje de las Escrituras:
I Pedro 1, 13. Por tanto, tengan listo su espíritu y estén alerta, poniendo toda su esperanza en esta gracia que será para
ustedes la venida gloriosa de Cristo Jesús.
Estamos pidiendo oraciones a todos mientras nos preparamos para este retiro y por el encuentro con Cristo que
experimentarán. En la entrada de la iglesia, encontrará un volante con un archivo adjunto. Nos gustaría que ustedes, nuestros
ángeles de oración oraran intencionalmente por nuestra juventud. Por favor escriba su nombre y su oración de sacrificio por
ellos en el recorte de manos en oración adjunto. Los ejemplos incluyen, pero no se limitan a: rezar el Rosario todos los días
antes del retiro, rezar 5 Aves Marías todos los días, o lo que sea que se sienta llamado a rezar. Regrese sus manos en oración a
la canasta de recolección el próximo domingo 28 de febrero, las usaremos para mostrar visualmente a los jóvenes el amor y
el apoyo que tienen en nuestro Pastorado. Oremos para que este grupo de más de 30 estudiantes de secundaria se
convierta y continúe siendo “un pueblo de esperanza.”
