Second Reading – If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans

LISTEN AND FOLLOW
"This is my beloved Son. Listen to him." And listen they did. From
that moment on, Peter, James, and John were ardent followers,
forsaking everything to follow in their Master's footsteps. Like the
psalmist crying, "O Lord, I am your servant," the three disciples
committed themselves to lives of incredible hardship and indescribable joy. After that day on the mountain, they never again
wavered in their chosen vocation.
Though our tests may not be as severe as Abraham's and our peak
experiences not as dramatic as the Transfiguration, we all face the
daily challenges of walking "before the Lord in the land of the living." As we follow our varied calls to love and serve, let's be comforted by Paul's reminder to the Romans: "If God is for us, who can
be against us?"

JOB OPENING:
MARKETING/DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR TO
SUPPORT THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNITY AT
ST. BARBARA SCHOOL.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Within the tradition of the Christian church, there are differing ways of observing a Lenten fast. For Eastern Catholics
and Orthodox, the discipline is close to our understanding
of "abstinence." Certain foods are eliminated from the diet
entirely. The rules are basically monastic rules, and the
customs of a monastery table are embraced in the home.
This year, "Meatfare Sunday" is February 26, and it is the
last time that meat is admitted to the diet until Easter. The
following Sunday, known as "Cheesefare Sunday," takes
cheese and all dairy products from the table. It is also
known as "forgiveness Sunday" because a true fast is
about crowning life with love, holding back harsh words,
and cutting off anger.
Part-time marketing/development position for enthusiastic and energetic individual. The person applying must be
able to speak, write, translate, and communicate in
Vietnamese and English. Will help with communications
to parents, parishioners, and local community/businesses.
Assists school administration in resource development
and public relations. Please go to www.stbarbara.com for

charist from Monday through Friday. We don't count Sundays as fast days, but Eastern Christians fast through the
weekends. People are expected to come as close to the
ideal as possible, and the Lenten services keep reminding
them not to take pride in their fasting, since the devil himself never eats! What's left on the menu? Grains, vegetables, eggs (maybe), and fish. Imagine the joys of the Easter table after such a fast!

ESCUCHA Y SIGUE
"Este es mi Hijo amado; escúchenlo". Y sí
que lo escucharon. Desde ese momento, Pedro,
Santiago y Juan fueron sus ardientes seguidores,
desechándolo todo para seguir las huellas del
Maestro. Tal como proclama el salmista, "Señor, he
aquí tu servidor", los tres discípulos se comprometieron a vidas de increíbles penurias e indescriptible gozo. Después de ese día en la montaña,
nunca más dudaron de la vocación escogida.
Aunque nuestras pruebas no sean tan severas como la de Abraham, ni nuestros momentos sublimes
tan dramáticos como la Transfiguración, todos confrontamos los retos cotidianos de caminar "en presencia del Señor en el país de la vida". Mientras seguimos nuestros diversos llamados a amar y servir,
seamos confortados por lo que Pablo les recuerda a
los romanos: "Si Dios está a nuestro favor, ¿quién
estará en contra nuestra?"
St. Barbara Catholic Church
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Cuando Jesús se transfiguró sobre la cima de un
monte, Pedro, reconociendo que algo sagrado
ocurría en ese lugar quiso construir tres chozas.
Como si buscara hacer un santuario, un lugar
santo, donde Dios se manifestara de manera particular. El santuario puede ser el lugar entero o
sólo parte de un edificio. En nuestras iglesias, el
santuario es el presbiterio donde se encuentra el
altar mayor, donde son consagrados el pan y el
vino. iglesias antiguas como las Basílicas romanas
tienen un segundo santuario que es la capilla
donde se reserva el Santísimo Sacramento en el
tabernáculo o sagrario.
Los santuarios más importantes de la cristiandad
se encuentran en Palestina. Europa tiene varios
santuarios como la tumba de Santiago en Compostela, España. Algunos santuarios famosos de
América son los de Guadalupe (México), Teresa de
los Andes (Chile), Señor de los Milagros (Perú),
Cristo Negro de Esquipulas (Guatemala), Montserrat (Colombia) y el de la Divina Misericordia
(Chicago). Todo santuario es un lugar donde se
une el recuerdo y la vivencia contemporánea de la
fe, son lugares donde la Iglesia institucional y la
religión popular conviven y se enriquecen mutuamente. –Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM.
