Ut In Omnibus Glorificetur Deus
THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD MAY BE GLORIFIED

February 24th, 2018

The Gospel today, from Saint Mark, is the account of the Transfiguration of Jesus.  Jesus is changed in front of his own followers, at least some of them, so that they can believe that He is truly God even when they see Him undergo crucifixion.  At the heart of our Christian believing is this deep awareness that Jesus is born for us, that Jesus dies for us and that Jesus has indeed been raised to life for us.  This is not a philosophical argument but an experienced reality of the early Christians that we later Christians have come to see as true because of their testimony.

1ST SUNDAY IN LENT

Part of Lent is deepening our awareness that we people who have a Covenant with the Living God.  We are not just people who believe in God.  We are a people sought out by God, a people formed by God and a people with a special love relationship with God.  

Lent is a time of Good News of God.  Lent is a time to believe more deeply in this God who loves us and comes to save us in every situation.  Lent is a time to listen attentively to the Word of God and to meditate on what this Word means in our lives.  We are invited to turn away from anything that misleads us and walk always the way of the Lord.

ASH WEDNESDAY

14/2/2018

The Prophet Joel reminds us that we should rend our hearts and not our garments in the first reading today.  Always there is a danger in Lent that we try to become spiritual athletes.  Lent is not about becoming strong but about allowing our weakness to be penetrated by the Lord.  The Lord is always gracious and merciful and wants our hearts conformed to His heart.
Lent is a time to listen to the Lord working in our hearts and in our world and seek a way to grow more deeply in His love and His purposes

Lent is about change and renewal. The Gospel reminds us that we are seeking an interior reformation, not something to show off to others.  What we want most of all is a deep aware of God’s love for us and to return God’s love to God with joy and gladness by loving others.  It is this personal relationship with God that we seek, not the notoriety of being someone who is good or who helps everyone else.  We can be good at many levels and help others at lots of levels—and never seek the Lord.  We are invited in Lent to see God in all that we do and say and think.
That said, what ever you are going to do this Lent – don’t make it so heavy that you are going to fall at the first hurdle.

THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD

3/2/2018

At the end of the fourth century, a woman named Etheria made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Her journal, discovered in 1887, gives an unprecedented glimpse of liturgical life there. Among the celebrations she describes is the Epiphany, the observance of Christ’s birth, and the gala procession in honor of his Presentation in the Temple 40 days later. (Under the Mosaic Law, a woman was ritually “unclean” for 40 days after childbirth, when she was to present herself to the priests and offer sacrifice—her “purification.” Contact with anyone who had brushed against mystery—birth or death—excluded a person from Jewish worship.) This feast emphasizes Jesus’ first appearance in the Temple more than Mary’s purification.
The observance spread throughout the Western Church in the fifth and sixth centuries. Because the Church in the West celebrated Jesus’ birth on December 25, the Presentation was moved to February 2, 40 days after Christmas.
At the beginning of the eighth century, Pope Sergius inaugurated a candlelight procession; at the end of the same century the blessing and distribution of candles which continues to this day became part of the celebration, giving the feast its popular name: Candlemas.
