The 2nd Sunday of Lent always has the Gospel about the Transfiguration of Jesus. While the 3 disciples, Peter, James, and John, see Jesus in his transfigured glory, this event is very closely connected with Jesus’ descent from the mountain and his journey to Jerusalem where he will suffer and die. Jesus wants to strengthen the faith of his disciples. He also does that for us, today. He knows that difficulties and trials will come to us. In the light of faith we behold his glory shining through the Eucharist. What looks like bread and wine is in reality, the Body and Blood of the crucified and risen Lord Jesus. Today, we ask Jesus to give us that faith that will allow us to see beyond this earth, to our final goal of heaven, in the face of all the difficulties that will come before us.
Father Lee Roos
Do not lay your hand on the boy!
Genesis 22:12
This is from the story of Abraham and the sacrifice of Isaac. How does this prefigure the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross? How do I imitate Abraham’s faith in God?

RE Lenten Work of Mercy to benefit the All Saints sister parish in Banica, Dominican Republic. This Lent, Religious Education will collect funds to benefit the Diocese of Arlington’s mission in Banica. RE students will be making a Lenten change jar in class and are asked to collect spare change. This is an excellent time to speak to your child about Lenten sacrifice and ideas about what they could sacrifice during Lent to raise funds for the poor.
Collection Containers Needed.
• At the next RE Class, please have your child/ren bring a clean and EMPTY food product can or container (an empty can of beans, butter container, large yogurt container, etc.)
• The students will individually decorate their own collection container in class.
• The collection will last throughout Lent. Students may bring in their spare change in their collection container on the last class before the RE Easter break (the week of April 2).
We thank All Saints parishioners and Seton High School for donating to the Medical Missionaries Appalachian drive to help the poorest of the poor. Once again, your help was a big success and we are grateful for your continued support. May God bless all of you,
— Dr. Gil Irwin and Medical Missionaries

sunday Mass and the Rite of ChRistian initiation of adults (rcIa)
What is a “Scrutiny”? The scrutinies, which are solemnly celebrated on Sundays and are reinforced by an exorcism, are rites for self-searching and repentance and have above all a spiritual purpose. The scrutinies are meant to uncover, then heal all that is weak, defective, or sinful in the hearts of the elect (the unbaptized preparing for Christian initiation at the Easter Vigil); to begin to bring out, then strengthen all that is upright, strong, and good. The scrutinies are
celebrated in order to deliver the elect from the power of sin and Satan, to protect them against temptation, and to give them strength in Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. These rites, therefore, should complete the conversion of the elect and deepen their resolve to hold fast to Christ and to carry out their decision to love God above all. (RCIA #141)
The scrutiny rites are celebrated on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Sundays of Lent and will be celebrated on Sundays, Mar. 4, 11, and. 18, at these Masses:
• 11:30 am Mass (English)• 3:30 pm Mass (Spanish).
Theses Masses will have the Cycle A Lectionary readings; all other Masses will have the Cycle B Lectionary readings.
Pray for our elect, candidates for full communion in the Church, and Catholics who are completing their initiation sacraments, as they approach the initiation sacraments at Easter.

Obra de Misericordia Cuaresmal a benefició del Viaje Misionero de All Saints a Bánica, República Dominicana
La oficina de Educación Religiosa estará realizando una Obra de Misericordia Cuaresmal para recolectar fondos a beneficio de la misión de Bánica. Los estudiantes harán una alcancía para la cuaresma en el salón de clase para colectar las monedas. Este es un momento excelente para enseñarles a los niños sobre lo importante del sacrificio cuaresmal y de ofrecer algo en beneficio de los más necesitados.
¡Necesitamos contenedores para la colecta!
• Para la próxima clase de RE denle a sus hijos un frasco o envase de comida vacío y limpio. (ejemplos: latas de frijoles, envase de mantequilla de cacahuate, envase grande de yogurt, etc.).
• Los estudiantes decorarán su propio envase de recolección en la clase.
• La colecta durará toda la Cuaresma. Los estudiantes pueden traer lo que recolecten para la clase antes de vacaciones de Pascua (la semana del 2 de abril).
Pregunta de la Semana: En el Evangelio Dios dice: “Éste es mi mi Hijo amado; escúchenlo” (Marcos 9:7). ¿Qué me dice Jesús a mí? ¿Qué me pide Jesús hacer?
coMIenza la Campaña CuaResmal del obispo
La Petición Cuaresmal del Obispo está en plena actividad y le pedimos a cada familia de nuestra parroquia que la apoye en la medida de sus posibilidades. Los fondos de la Petición Cuaresmal del Obispo financian muchos programas, servicios y ministerios que prestan
asistencia a las personas necesitadas y fomentan la misión evangelizadora de Jesucristo en nuestra Diócesis. Unámonos para trabajar en las obras del Señor, que tocan la vida y el alma de miles de personas de nuestra Diócesis. ¡Muchas gracias!
