I wonder if many of us, if not all, still keep our Lenten promises or discipline. We are now several days into this Lenten journey. Pope Francis has recommendations for how we might engage in our own spiritual renewal during Lent: Fast from hurting words and say kind words. Fast from anger and be filled with patience. Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope. Fast from worries and have trust in God. Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity. Fast from pressures and be prayerful. Fast from bitterness and fill your hearts with joy. Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others. Fast from grudges and be reconciled. Fast from words and be silent so you can listen. The Word of God in a nutshell this week: The readings for this 2nd Sunday in Lent invite us to listen and to trust that God will lead us in ways that are life-giving. Abraham learns that he can trust God with the life of his precious son, even though what he is asked to do seems contrary to all God‘s previous promises. His obedi- ence and faithfulness are blessed by God (1st Reading). St. Paul reminds us that, since God gave up his only Son as his gift to us, we can be certain that he will not refuse us anything that we ask. God is on our side! We can trust him for our needs (2nd Reading). In the Gospel, we hear Jesus ask for a different kind of trust from Peter, James and John. After seeing Jesus transfigured in all his glory on the moun- tain top, they are asked to listen and believe in him, but to wait for the right time to speak of all they have seen and heard. The Psalmist sings a song of rejoicing. Even when sorely afflicted, he has trusted in the Lord. Now he gives thanks for the ways in which the Lord has freed him, and becomes a joyful witness before all God‘s peo- ple. We pray for the grace to listen and to trust more fully in Jesus this Lent so that we, too, may ―walk in the presence of the Lord‖.

Heartbeats from your Parish Priest Fr Eduardo
The 1st week of Lent is gone. I wonder if many of us, if not all, still keep our Lenten promises or discipline. We are now several days into this Lenten journey. Pope Francis has recommendations for how we might
engage in our own spiritual renewal during Lent: Fast from hurting words and say kind words. Fast from anger and be filled with patience. Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope. Fast from worries and have trust in God. Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity. Fast from pressures and be prayerful. Fast from bitterness and fill your hearts with joy. Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others. Fast from grudges and be reconciled. Fast from words and be silent so you can listen.
The Word of God in a nutshell this week: The readings for this 2nd Sunday in Lent invite us to listen and to trust that God will lead us in ways that are life-giving. Abraham learns that he can trust God with the life of his precious son, even though what he is asked to do seems contrary to all God‘s previous promises. His obedi-ence and faithfulness are blessed by God (1st Reading). St. Paul reminds us that, since God gave up his only Son as his gift to us, we can be certain that he will not refuse us anything that we ask. God is on our side! We can trust him for our needs (2nd Reading). In the Gospel, we hear Jesus ask for a different kind of trust from Peter, James and John. After seeing Jesus transfigured in all his glory on the moun-tain top, they are asked to listen and believe in him, but to wait for the right time to speak of all they have seen and heard. The Psalmist sings a song of rejoicing. Even when sorely afflicted, he has trusted in the Lord. Now he gives thanks for the ways in which the Lord has freed him, and becomes a joyful witness before all God‘s peo-ple. We pray for the grace to listen and to trust more fully in Jesus this Lent so that we, too, may ―walk in the presence of the Lord‖.
