SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT

GN 12; 1-4, 2 TM 1; 8-10, MT 17; 1-9

CHANGE Lent is all about change and change is usually not easy. In order to change we have to leave something behind. Today we hear about a very old man who decides to answer God’s call. Abram experiences a tremendous amount of change when he leaves everything behind,

risking it all for God’s promise. Jesus changes, is trans-figured, right before the eyes of his disciples. The Len-ten scriptures issue the call for us to change, to be trans-figured, so that we, too, will soon share in the glory of God. What is it that the Lord is asking us to leave be-hind? Are we willing to take the risk for the promise made by God? These questions are at the heart of the

Lenten journey of conversion. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co

CAMBIO

Cuaresma es cambio y cam-biar no es fácil. Para poder

cambiar debemos dejar algo atrás. Hoy escuchamos acerca de un hombre muy viejo que decide responder al llamado de Dios. Abram atraviesa por una tremenda cantidad de cambios cuando todo lo

deja y lo arriesga por la promesa de Dios. Jesús cambia, se transfigura, justo delante de los ojos de sus discípu-

los. Las escrituras en Cuaresma nos llaman a cambiar, a ser transfigurados, para que también nosotros pronto

participemos en la gloria de Dios. ¿Qué nos pide Dios dejar atrás? ¿Estamos dispuestos a arriesgarlo todo por la promesa que Dios hace? Estas son las preguntas cen-

trales en el camino de conversión de la Cuaresma. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Oración por los enfermos

Señor Jesús, aquel (aquella) a quien amas está enfermo( a). Tú

lo puedes todo; te pido humildemente que le devuelvas la salud.,

pero si son otros tus designios, te pido le concedas la gracia de

sobrellevar cristianamente su enfermedad.

En los caminos de Palestina tratabas a

los enfermos con tal delicadeza que todos

venían a ti, dame esa misma dulzura,

ese tacto que es tan difícil de tener cuan-

do se esta sano.

Que yo sepa dominar mi nerviosismo

para no agobiarle, que sepa

sacrificar una parte de mis ocupaciones para acompañarle, si es su

deseo. Yo estoy lleno de vida Señor, y te doy gracias por ello, pero

haz que el sufrimiento de los demás me

santifique, formándome en la abnegación y en la caridad.

Amen
