3 FEBRUARY 25, 2018 From today s Gospel reading: Jesus took Peter, James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. He was transfigured before them and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them. Reflection: It is Lent and we are praying for our own spiritual transfiguration in God s love. In obedience to God may our lives reflect more deeply that of Jesus, who consistently showed, through his words and actions and finally through his death, God s love for all. So, we ask ourselves: - Where in my life do I need a spiritual transfiguration to better reflect God s love? - To whom am I called to better enflesh God s accepting love? ADULT ENRICHMENT EVENINGS All parishioners are invited to participate in the ongoing sessions offered by Deacon John Amlag from 6:00 to 7:00pm in the chapel. Tuesday evening sessions focus on Living Life in the Holy Spirit. Thursday evening sessions focus on Jesuit Spirituality in everyday life. Come and be blessed by these opportunities for learning and faith sharing with fellow parishioners. CRUCIFIX: SPIRITUALITY, ART &THEOLOGY Wednesday, February 28, 7:00pm, social hall Jesus hangs on the Cross: why do Christians have such an attachment to this image of sorrow, pain, and death? Explore with us this coming week: the Crucifix as interpreted in history, by cultures and artistic media. This session will include opportunities to reflect on what the Crucifix means to our parish community as we look to our future renovation and how the image of Christ crucified will inspire our future. BELATED BIRTHDAY WISHES! Our prayers for many more years of good health & happiness go out to Celerina Beltran who just celebrated her 82 birthday! God Bless. MONDAY MOVIE, SOUP & BREAD Please join us in our SOUP AND BREAD SUPPERS, a simple, sacrificial meal that we share with our Holy Trinity family, and in prayerful solidarity with the hungry of the world. Soup will be served each MONDAY EVENING beginning on February 26, from 5:30 to 6:15pm in the social hall through March 19. A free will offering will be taken up each week to support the Rice Bowl Program. Immediately following there will be a showing of a contemporary, inspirational and thought provoking movie to help us reflect on our lives of faith and discipleship. DACA CALL-IN DAY This past Friday, the bishops of the United States announced a national Catholic call-in day to Congress, to express support for Dreamers. The call to congressional offices in Washington, D.C., will take place Monday, February 26. Your advocacy is critical to help the nearly 1.8 million Dreamers, young people who were brought into the United States by their parents as children. They may face deportation as soon as March 6, unless Congress reaches a bi-partisan deal to protect them.
