Readings, Responsorial Psalm and Gospel
02.28.21
Second Sunday of Lent
Reading I - Gn 22:1-2, 9a, 10-13, 15-18
Responsorial Psalm - 116:10, 15, 16-17, 18-19
R. (116:9) I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living.
Reading II - Rom 8:31b-34
Gospel - Mk 9:2-10
Jesus took Peter, James, and John
and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves.
And he was transfigured before them,
and his clothes became dazzling white,
such as no fuller on earth could bleach them.
Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses,
and they were conversing with Jesus.
Then Peter said to Jesus in reply,
“Rabbi, it is good that we are here!
Let us make three tents:
one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified.
Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them;
from the cloud came a voice,
“This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them.
As they were coming down from the mountain,
he charged them not to relate what they had seen to anyone,
except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
So they kept the matter to themselves,
questioning what rising from the dead meant.

Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches that if a brother has something against us, we must be reconciled with him before we offer our gift at the altar. This reconciling requires a change of heart...

An Act ofSpiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen. -

Message from Fr. Abraham: Keep Holy the Lord's Day
01.11.21
As we experience the ongoing effects of the pandemic, Cardinal Dolan has continued to suspend the obligation to attend Sunday Mass. Please remember, the obligation to “Keep Holy the Lord’s Day” can never be suspended. If you are uncomfortable attending Mass in person or you have cold symptoms or need to quarantine, make sure to watch our Mass livestreamed on our website or on Facebook on Sundays at 10:00am. There are many options on television as well to participate in Sunday Mass.
If you do not have the internet, sit down with the Sunday readings, pray, and make a Spiritual Communion. Take a walk and pray the rosary. Read a good spiritual book, most especially the Bible. If weekend Mass is too crowded, attend a daily Mass instead. It has become easy to excuse ourselves from prayer and worship. Begin this New Year with a firm resolve to keep your faith strong and make it even stronger. Keep holy the Lord’s day!
Fr. Abraham

"For I was hungry and
you gave me food..."
Beginning this February, we will be collecting food every third weekend of each month, to be given to the Interfaith Food Pantry in Thornwood.
