Today’s showing forth of God’s glory is filled with a light that astonishes and reveals. Jesus transfigured on Mount Tabor energizes even the sleepy apostles, who see but cannot get hold of it. They can be forgiven for not apprehending the full meaning of this extraordinary vision of a transfigured Jesus with Elijah and Moses. The whole of the Law and prophets is summed up here on this mountain. The transfiguration on Mount Tabor is handed over to us this Sunday. As Paul reminds us, it is we who are to be transformed. The light and life of the Resurrection are set forth here so we do not lose heart and fall entirely asleep. This Sunday looks to Easter. It looks to transformation. It asks us to lift up our heads and acknowledge the risen Lord as our light and our salvation. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co
The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are going.
—Oliver Wendell Holmes
The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
— Psalm 27:1

Together In Mission: Though We Are Many… We Are One. www.ourmissionla.org
This annual appeal is the only one of its kind in the United States, a restr icted appeal where the proceeds can only be used to assist those parishes and schools in dire financial need. It is NOT used for deferring any costs of the Archdiocese’s operations, any of its liabilities, or litigation – neither past nor present. Each of us is called to share his or her gifts in support of the Church. We must first support our own parish, then our Archdiocese, and then our Church throughout the country and world. Please return pledge envelopes to the Parish Office or collection baskets. Your generosity is very much appreciated. For more info, visit: www.ourmissionla.org
Together In Mission
A mother with a fidgety 7-year old boy told me how she finally got her son to sit still and be quiet. About halfway through the sermon she leaned over and whispered, "If you don't be quiet, Father is going to lose his place and will have to start his sermon all over again!"

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The treasures of our tradition can often be traced to one source, but like the waters of a river branching out on its way to the sea, are received differently as they filter through various cultures and customs. Long ago, mostly because of the preparation of candidates for baptism, the annual feast of the Lord’s death and resurrection was preceded by a period of preparation. In the West that comes to us as Lent, a word drawn from the Old English word for springtime, referring to the lengthening hours of sunlight in this hemisphere. In the East, the tradition of preparing for Easter is received as “Great Lent,” to distinguish it from a secondary “Lent” preceding Christmas, and a two-week period, a kind of “pre-Lent,” that gradually introduces the faithful to the austerities of Great Lent. One of the major differences between East and West is in the vigor of the Lenten fast. In Great Lent the customs of fast and abstinence are far more strict than we are accustomed to. For us, meat is off our Lenten tables on Friday, but in the East, meat disappears from the diet completely, along with dairy products. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
