February 21, 2016 • Second Sunday of Lent
Many icons depicting Jesus’ transfiguration bear the Greek title
Metamorphosis, a technical term also for nature’s springtime
transformation. Fittingly, this Jubilee Year of Mercy
coincides with the Lectionary’s Year of Luke, for only
Luke specifies Moses and Elijah speaking about Jesus’
“exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem”
(Luke 9:31). Israel’s exodus liberated from slavery;
Jesus’ exodus liberates from sin’s living death of
selfishness. Pope Francis suggests that Lent’s prayer,
fasting, and works of charity can transfigure the world,
if Christians translate Isaiah’s challenge into our daily
lived experience of Jesus’ life-giving exodus by releasing
those bound unjustly, setting free the oppressed, sharing your bread
with the hungry, bringing the afflicted and homeless into your house,
clothing the naked, not turning your back on your own. “If you
remove from your midst oppression, and malicious speech . . . then
light shall rise for you in the darkness . . . you shall be like a watered
garden, like a spring whose water never fails” (Isaiah 58:9, 10, 11).

EFLECTION OF THE WEEK
February 21, 2016
Second Sunday of Lent
Peter, James and John went with
Jesus to pray on a mountain top.
The disciples witnessed what we
call the transfiguration where
Jesus’ face became radiant and
his clothes dazzling white. Along
with Jesus stood Moses and Elijah.
The disciples had no idea what
was happening and Peter, in his
ignorance, suggested that they erect
three tents to commemorate the
event. As though to correct Peter’s
misunderstanding, a voice came
from the cloud naming Jesus as
his son and telling the disciples to
listen to him. There was not to be
confusion about Moses or Elijah
being equal to Jesus nor should
Peter have tried to assume control
of a holy happening, but rather
listen to this holy one.
Reflection question:
Adult: How are your priorities

my family and in my community?
• Are my beliefs, attitudes, and choices such
that they strengthen or undermine the
institution of the family?
• Am I aware of problems facing my local
community and involved in efforts to find
solutions? Do I stay informed and make
my voice heard when needed?
• Do I support the efforts of poor persons to
work for change in their neighborhoods
and communities? Do my attitudes and
interactions empower or disempower others?

Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma
S
EREMOS TRANSFORMADOS
La manifestación de la Gloria de Dios en el
Evangelio de hoy está llena de una luz que a la
vez asombra y revela. Jesús, transfigurado en el
Monte Tabor, llena de su energía a los apóstoles
adormecidos, que ven la visión, pero no la saben
captar. Es perdonable que no capten del todo el
significado de esta extraordinaria visión de Jesús
transfigurado, entre Moisés y Elías. Aquí, en el
monte santo, se resumen la Ley y los profetas.
Hoy esa transfiguración se nos ofrece y se
nos entrega. Como nos recuerda san Pablo, somos
nosotros los que vamos a ser transformados. Hoy
se nos presentan la luz y la vida de la Resurrección,
para que no nos descorazonemos, no sea que nos
quedemos del todo dormidos. Este domingo ya mira
hacia la Pascua. Mira hacia la transformación. Nos
pide que levantemos la cabeza, y reconozcamos al
Señor Resucitado como nuestra luz y salvación.

Los Viernes de Cuaresma
estaremos rezando el Vía
Crucis a las 7:30 de la tarde,
y durante el rezo de los
Vía Crucis habrá también
confesiones para todos
aquellos que gusten recibir
el perdón misericordioso de
Dios. Recordemos que el año
Jubilar es un año de gracia
muy especial para quienes
quieran aprovecharlo.
T
RADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
La Cuaresma nos llama a la conversión, a la cual
deberíamos estar dedicados toda el año. En muchas
parroquias latinas la cuaresma también es tiempo de
misiones. De niño recuerdo haber participado cada
año en las misiones de mi parroquia. Escuchábamos a
los predicadores con curiosidad, ya que aparecían solo
una vez al año y luego se regresaban a lugares lejanos y
desconocidos. Nunca imagine que algún día yo también
estuviera como predicador de misiones. Me gustaría
darles un resumen del mensaje que he sembrado en
varias parroquias.
Las misiones no son para repetir doctrina, sino
para evangelizar a los bautizados. Con cinco temas se
puede evangelizar a los bautizados recordándoles los
cinco puntos claves del Evangelio cristiano: 1) Dios
nos ama y nos hizo para él; 2) Nosotros hemos pecado
y sufrimos las consecuencias; 3) Dios nos manda a su
Hijo para librarnos del mal; 4) Jesús desea formar parte
de nuestras vidas personales, ¡invitémoslo! y 5) Jesús
llena nuestro corazón con el poder y la presencia de su
Espíritu. Este mensaje es uno de conversión y esperanza.

A
ño Jubilar de la Misericordia
21 de febrero de 2016
Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma
Muchos iconos con la imagen de la
transfiguración de Jesús tienen un título
en griego que dice Metamorphosis, una
palabra técnica que también se refiere a la
transformación natural de la primavera.
Casualmente, este Año Jubilar de la
Misericordia coincide con el Año C en el
que los domingos se lee el Evangelio de
Lucas, además solamente Lucas menciona
que Moisés y Elías “hablaban del éxodo de
Jesús, que él estaba a punto de cumplir en
Jerusalén” (Lucas 9:31). El éxodo de Israel liberó
de la esclavitud; el éxodo de Jesús libera de la muerte en
vida del pecado del egoísmo. El Papa Francisco sugiere
que en esta Cuaresma la oración, el ayuno y las obras de
caridad pueden transformar al mundo, si los cristianos
en la vida diaria interpretaran el desafío de Isaías de
experimentar de Jesús el éxodo que da vida al liberar a
los presos injustamente, dando libertad a los cautivos,
compartiendo el pan con los hambrientos, ofreciendo un
techo a los desamparados y afligidos, vistiendo al desnudo,
no dándoles la espalda a los más necesitados. “Si quitas
de en medio de ti el yugo, el amenazar con el dedo y el
hablar iniquidad, y si te ofreces al hambriento, y sacias el
deseo del afligido, entonces surgirá tu luz en las tinieblas,
y tu oscuridad será como el mediodía. Y el Señor te guiará
continuamente, saciará tu deseo en los lugares áridos y
dará vigor a tus huesos; serás como huerto regado y como
manantial cuyas aguas nunca faltan” (Isaías 58:9, 10, 11).
