SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT MARCH 17, 2019
SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT PAGE 2 PASTOR’S COLUMN
Dear Community of Our Lady of Perpetual Help,
“A deep, terrifying darkness enveloped him …” Genesis
Humanity is besieged by a terrible reality called sin. We are made beautifully, in the im- age of God, but our existence has been distorted by the mysterious reality of sin, of offen- sive selfishness. We see this in all the strife and suffering in the world. Death hangs over us constantly. The sacred time of Lent calls us to confront this reality personally and as a community. A deep relationship with God, with the Trinity, with our Lord Jesus Christ saves us, lifts us from the tragedy of sin. Only in God do we find salvation. As we encounter Him, He gives us His glory. The disciples in the Gospel, broken men, saw the glory of God.
“While Jesus was praying … His face changed in appearance and His clothing became dazzling white … the disciples saw His glory …” Luke
As we journey through life, on this earth, these spiritual moments fill us with Faith, Hope and Love. There is salvation! We are called to a full life as we move along towards Heaven.
“Our citizenship is in Heaven …” Philippians
Lord, be with us, teach us to pray!
Monsignor Lorenzo

SEGUNDO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA PÁGINA 8 COLUMNA DEL PASTOR Querida Comunidad de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro,
“Una profunda, asombrosa oscuridad lo arropó …” Génesis
La humanidad está sitiada por una terrible realidad que es el pecado. Fuimos hechos maravillosamente, a imagen de Dios, pero nuestra existencia ha sido distorsionada por el misterio del pecado, por un egoísmo ofensivo. Se ve esto en la lucha y sufrimiento en el mundo. La muerte está sobre nosotros siempre. El sagrado tiempo de Cuaresma nos llama a confrontar esta realidad personalmente y como comunidad. La relación profunda con Dios, con la Trinidad, con nuestro Señor Jesucristo nos salva, nos levanta de la tragedia del pecado. Solamente en Dios encontramos salvación. Al en- contrarnos con El, El nos da Su gloria. Los discípulos en los Evangelios, hombres débiles, vieron la Gloria de Dios.
“Orando Jesús … su rostro cambió en apariencia y sus vestiduras se hicieron blancas y relampagueantes … los discípulos vieron la Gloria de Jesús …” Lucas
Al caminar por la vida, en este mundo, estos momentos espirituales nos llenan de Fe, Esperanza y Amor. ¡Hay salvación! Dios nos invita a una vida completa en nuestro camino hacia el Cielo.
“Somos ciudadanos del Cielo …” Filipenses
¡ Señor, quédate con nosotros, enséñanos a orar!
Monseñor Lorenzo
