SE TRATA DE CAMBIAR En este Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma las escrituras nos recuerdan que cuando tenemos un encuentro con Dios, las cosas van a cambiar. En la primera lectura Dios le dice a Abram que eleve los ojos al cielo, prometiéndole descendientes tan

numerosos como las estrellas. El acto de fe en Dios de Abram es sellado en una alianza, que cambia para siempre el curso de la historia de salvación. En el Evangelio del relato de la Transfiguración que siempre se proclama en este domingo de Cuaresma, el Señor Jesús cambia de apariencia ante los ojos de los apóstoles, quienes como Abram, levantan los ojos ante el espectáculo en el cielo. Es san Pablo quien lo resume todo para nosotros: “Él transformará nuestro cuerpo miserable en un cuerpo glorioso, semejante al suyo” (Filipenses 3:21). En la Cuaresma se trata de cambiar, de tener una conversión. Fijemos nuestros ojos en los cielos, esperando el día en que seremos cambiados —cuando seamos partícipes de la gloria de Cristo. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El Señor hizo una alianza con su siervo fiel Abram. (Génesis 15:5-12, 17-18). Salmo — El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación (Salmo 27 [26]). Segunda lectura — Esperamos al Señor Jesús, quien nos cambiará para conformarnos con su cuerpo glorificado (Filipenses 3:17 — 4:1 [3:20 — 4:1]). Evangelio — Pedro, Santiago y Juan presencian la transfiguración de Jesús en el cerro (Lucas 9:28b-36).

ALL ABOUT CHANGE On this Second Sunday of Lent the scriptures remind us that when we have an encounter with our God, things are bound to change. In the first reading God tells Abram to raise his eyes to the sky, promising descendants as numerous as the stars. Abram’s act of faith in the Lord is sealed in covenant, forever changing the course of salvation history. In the Gospel story of the Transfiguration, always proclaimed on this Lenten Sunday, the Lord Jesus changes in appearance before the eyes of the apostles who, like Abram, raise their eyes to the spectacle in the sky. It is Saint Paul who brings it all together for us: “He will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body” (Philippians 3:21). Lent is all about change, all about conversion. Let us cast our own eyes to heaven, awaiting that day when we will be changed—when we will share in Christ’s glory. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The Lord made a covenant with his faithful servant, Abram. (Gen 15:5-12, 17-18) Psalm — The Lord is my light and my salvation (Psalm 27). Second Reading — We await the Lord Jesus, who will change us to conform with his glorified body (Philippians 3:17 — 4:1 [3:20 — 4:1]). Gospel — Peter, James, and John witness the transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain (Luke 9:28b-36).

Para Reírnos un Poco Estaba un borracho en la cantina y llega otro y le pregunta: “¿Por qué toma?” Y le contesta:

“Para verme más bonito.” “¿Más bonito, pero como?” “Sí, cuando llego a mi casa mi viejita me dice: ‘¡Que bonito!’" OMG! Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation towards the local swimming pool. I gave him a glass of water.
