March 1, 2015 PARISH BULLETIN / ŽUPNI VJESNIK Page 3 2ND SUNDAY OF LENT Mountains are often referred to in the Bible as scenes for close encounters between God and his people. Noah - Mt. Ararat; Abraham - Mt. Moriah; Moses - Mt. Sinai. Today we read of the Transfiguration experience on Mt. Tabor. This experience was a great high for Christ and the Apostles with him: the commendation of the Father, the presence of the prophets Moses and Elijah. But, balancing this high came the downside of the encounter. From here he must go to Jerusalem to complete the mission of salvation. Most of us have moments when we see exactly where our lives are going and what we need to do in order to be true to ourselves. And part of that recognition is knowing that the high points can only be reached by passing through the valleys. Life is a series of joys alternating with moments of pain and anguish. We have our moments of satisfaction, but those interludes pass, and the heartaches, the routines and the anxieties of life return. Classical examples of this are found in human relationships, particularly marriage and family. Whether there is more joy than heartache in relationships depend on how people learn to control their selfish, defensive, vindictive and impatient tendencies. It is no different in relationship with God. Here, too, highs and lows are present; and for the same reason - our selfishness. It is not easy to say not my will, but yours be done. The big question is: Do we have sufficient faith in Christ's leadership to know that every low can be a stepping stone to a greater high? The Tabor experience brought home to Christ and the Apostles the recognition that the successes so far achieved were only part of the eternal plan of redemption. Yet to come was the high of the triumphant entry into Jerusalem to be followed by the disgrace and shame of Calvary. But, when all seemed lost, came the high of the Resurrection. And this is the pattern of Christian life. 2. KORIZMENA NEDJELJA Korizma je vrijeme u kojem prevladavaju teme odricanja i pokore; udubljujemo se u životnu zbilju hoda kroz suznu dolinu. Usred tog vremena imamo i temu Isusova preobraženja da ne zaboravimo kojom snagom je mogu e nastaviti hod. Isus se pred svojim u enicima preobražava, pokazuje im se u slavi da ih oja a za dane patnje koji slijede. Preobrazivši se pred njima, zapravo je i njih preobrazio. Obasjani sjajem lica njegova i sami su zasjali. Predokusili su slavu, ugledali obe anu zemlju u koju kad stignemo sam Krist e preobraziti naše bijedno tijelo i suobli iti ga tijelu svome slavnome. Gora Tabor mjesto je gdje taboruju osloboditelji. Mojsije je oslobodio narod iz fizi kog ropstva izvevši narod iz Egipta; Ilija je duhovni osloboditelj svojom proro kom rije ju privodio je narod pravom Bogu. A ono kona no oslobo enje ka kojem su svi napori osloboditelja usmjereni sam je Isus. On u svojoj slavi obe ana je zemlja. Uspon na Tabor, opisan u evan elju, shema je molitve. Isus nas uzima sa sobom, odvodi u osamu, na goru i pred nama se preobražava da nas preobrazi. U molitvi nam se otvara nebo, ugledavamo pravo lice stvarnosti, padaju nam ljuske s o iju. I ujemo glas O ev: Ovo je Sin moj ljubljeni, slušajte ga! Stvoreni smo za slavu. O tom eshatološkom odre enju govori nam i naša potreba da se igramo, zabavimo, radujemo. Jer u svakoj radosti je i vapaj da nikad ne prestane. Iskustvo Tabora, iskustvo je zbilje. Makar je prolaznog karaktera, ima neprolazne u inke. Takvi trenuci se pamte i u nama svijetle i onda kad svjetla oko nas nestane. Iz tog iskustva sve se definira. Upravo kao što i cvijet, premda tek par dana u godini ima cvat, cvije em nazivamo jer njegov cvat otkriva mu bit. Umije e života, slikovito kazano, je zimi u neuglednim granama magnolije prepoznati ljepotu njenog cvije a koje skriva do prolje a. Božja slava naša je snaga. Govori sv. Pavao: Smatram da sve patnje ovoga vremena nisu dostojne budu e slave koja e se o itovati u nama.

Oni su bili žrtve komunisti ko-partizanskih zlo ina. Kako bi zataškali zlo ine, egzekutori su tijela svojih žrtava bacali u jame i škrape diljem BiH. Svjedoci su u strahu od odmazde o svemu morali šutjeti. Završetkom rata ubijanje je preraslo u progone preživjelih. Crkveni su poglavari s velikim brojem sve enika po etkom 50-tih godina 20. stolje a, zbog montiranih sudskih procesa, završavali po jugokomunisti kim tamnicama u kojima su služili dugogodišnje kazne. Zbog toga je Crkva u Hrvata bila obezglavljena. Tada je i zagreba ki nadbiskup Alojzije Stepinac robijao u Lepoglavi, a mostarski biskup Petar ule u Zenici. O zlo inima se prvi put šaptalo 70-tih godina 20. stolje a. Glasnije se govorilo tek raspadom Jugoslavije. Cilj dokumentarnog filma In odium fidei (Iz mržnje prema vjeri) je progovoriti o tome vremenu.

LENTEN FAST AND ABSTINENCE The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has declared that "the age of fasting is from the completion of the 18th year to the beginning of the 60th." The USCCB also allows the substitution of some other form of penance for abstinence on all of the Fridays of the year, except for those Fridays in Lent. Thus, the rules for fasting and abstinence in the United States are: Every person 14 years of age or older must abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all the Fridays of Lent. Every person between the age of 18 and 60 must fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Every person 14 years of age or older must abstain from meat on all other Fridays of the year, unless he or she substitutes some other form of penance for abstinence.
