Second Sunday of Lent

“What is the journey of Jesus in the Transfiguration?”

Esta semana, celebramos el segundo domingo de Cuaresma. Hoy,las lecturas de las Escrituras hablan sobre un viaje. En la primera lectura del Libro del Génesis, escuchamos que Dios le ordena a Abram que abandone su tierra y siga a Dios a un nuevo lugar, una nueva tierra. Al final de la lectura, escuchamos que Abram hizo lo que el SEÑOR le indicó. En el Evangelio de Mateo, nosotros también escuchamos acerca de un viaje. El Evangelio nos habla de la Transfiguración de nuestro Señor en la cima de una montaña. ¿Cómo es esto un viaje? Es fácil para nosotros ver el viaje de Abram en la primera lectura, pero ¿cuál es el viaje de nuestro Señor en el Evangelio? ¿Cuál es el viaje de Jesús en la Transfiguración? Durante la Transfiguración, San Mateo nos dice que “fue transfigurado ante ellos; Su rostro brillaba como el sol y su ropa se volvió blanca como la luz ". En la cima del

monte. Tabor, nuestro Señor reveló a tres de sus apóstoles su gloria divina. La gloria que los Apóstoles vieron en la cima de la montaña prefigura la gloria de la Resurrección de Jesús. Jesús hace esta conexión entre la Transfiguración y Su Resurrección de entre los muertos al final del Evangelio mismo. "Mientras bajaban de la montaña, Jesús les ordenó:" No le cuenten la visión a nadie hasta que el Hijo del Hombre haya resucitado de entre los muertos ". Sin embargo, las palabras de Jesús al final del Evangelio también enseñan otra lección importante y ésta es la conexión con el tema del viaje. ¿Qué le dice nuevamente nuestro Señor a sus apóstoles? Jesús les ordenó: "No le cuenten la visión a nadie hasta que el Hijo del Hombre haya resucitado de entre los muertos". Por lo tanto, nuestro Señor revela a los Apóstoles (y a todos los seguidores de Jesús) que el viaje a la gloria pasa por la muerte. El viaje a la resurrección pasa por la cruz. A muchos cristianos les gusta brincar la Cruz y llegar a la Resurrección, pero no se puede brincar la Cruz y la muerte. Esta es la razón por la cual la Iglesia Católica siempre usa un Crucifijo, en lugar de solo una cruz vacía (como usan muchos no católicos) o el Cristo Resucitado contemporáneo y moderno en la cima de una cruz. Mientras que la cruz vacía es un símbolo cristiano común compartido por todas las iglesias cristianas, los católicos se destacan por su uso frecuente del crucifijo, una cruz que muestra el cuerpo sufriente de Jesucristo. El propósito del crucifijo siempre ha sido mostrar el inmenso amor que Cristo tiene por toda la humanidad y recordarnos la esperanza de la Resurrección ganada por esa victoria de la Pasión de Jesús. El gran Padre y Doctor de la Iglesia San Agustín, ofrece una gran enseñanza y explicación sobre el crucifijo. “La muerte del Señor nuestro Dios no debe ser motivo de vergüenza para nosotros; más bien, debería ser nuestra mayor esperanza, nuestra mayor gloria. Al asumir sobre sí la muerte que encontró en nosotros, ha prometido fielmente darnos vida en él, como no podemos tener de nosotros mismos. Él nos amaba tanto que, sin pecado, sufrió por nosotros los pecadores el castigo que merecíamos por nuestros pecados. ¿Cómo, entonces, puede fallar en darnos la recompensa que merecemos por nuestra justicia, porque El es la fuente de justicia? ¿Cómo puede El, cuyas promesas son verdaderas, dejar de recompensar a los santos cuando soportó el castigo de los pecadores, aunque sin pecado? Hermanos, reconozcamos sin temor, e incluso proclamemos abiertamente que Cristo fue crucificado por nosotros; confesémoslo, no con miedo sino con alegría, no con vergüenza sino con gloria ". El crucifijo nos recuerda que no hay resurrección sin la cruz. Este es el viaje de la Transfiguración. Este es el viaje que nuestro Señor tuvo que pasar, y este es el viaje que todas las almas deben pasar. El gran autor católico J.R.R. Tolkien nos recuerda maravillosamente el Misterio de la Transfiguración y el viaje de la muerte a la Resurrección en su gran obra literaria, La trilogía El Señor de los Anillos. > "GANDALF: ¿Fin? No, el viaje no termina aquí. La muerte es solo otro camino, uno que todos debemos tomar. La cortina de lluvia gris de este mundo retrocede, y todo se convierte en vidrio plateado, y luego lo ves. PIPPIN: ¿Qué? Gandalf? ¿Mira qué? GANDALF: costas blancas y más allá, un país muy verde bajo un amanecer rápido. PIPPIN: Bueno, eso no es tan malo. GANDALF: No. No, no lo es. Oremos por todos los que están enfermos con el coronavirus en todo el mundo. Pidamos la misericordia y protección de Dios y también por una cura y por el fin de esta epidemia. Consulte el boletín para conocer las nuevas pautas arquidiocesanas y los cambios en la práctica durante la Misa relacionados con las precauciones sobre el coronavirus. ¡Que la Santísima Virgen María, Madre de Buena Ayuda, nos ayude con su cuidado materno, y que San José ruegue por nosotros! ¡Vivat Jesús! ¡Vive Jesús!

Informes del Padre Bob

Przypada dzisiaj II Niedziela Wielkiego Postu. Motywem przewodnim dzisiejszych rozważań jest podróż. W pierwszym czytaniu z Księgi Rodzaju, Bóg nakazuje Abramowi (patriarsze Abrahamowi) opuścić ojczyznę i udać się w podróż do nowej krainy. Pod koniec tego fragmentu słyszymy, że „Abram udał się w drogę, jak mu Pan rozkazał” (Rdz 12:4). Drugie czytanie, z Ewangelii według św. Mateusza, dotyczy Przemienienia na Górze Tabor. Łatwo nam zrozumieć podróż Abrama w Księdze Rodzaju, ale co wspólnego z podróżą ma Przemienienie Pańskie z Ewangelii? Święty Mateusz Ewangelista pisze: „Tam przemienił się wobec nich: twarz Jego zajaśniała jak słońce, odzienie zaś stało się białe jak światło” (Mt 17:2). Na Górze Tabor, Chrystus objawił trzem apostołom Swoją

boską chwałę. Chwała ta jest zapowiedzią chwały Zmartwychwstania Pańskiego. Pod koniec tego fragmentu, Pan sam wskazuje nam związek między Jego Przemienieniem a Zmartwychwstaniem. „A gdy schodzili z góry, Jezus przykazał im mówiąc: Nie opowiadajcie nikomu o tym widzeniu, aż Syn Człowieczy zmartwychwstanie” (Mt 17:9). W tych słowach Jezusa zawiera się jednak jeszcze jedna lekcja, związana z dzisiejszym tematem przewodnim, jakim jest podróż. O co Pan prosi uczniów? „Nie opowiadajcie nikomu o tym widzeniu, aż Syn Człowieczy zmartwychwstanie”. Chrystus pokazał Swoim apostołom (a także i nam), że droga do chwały wiedzie przez śmierć. Droga do Zmartwychwstania wiedzie zaś przez Krzyż. Wielu chrześcijan świadomie chce pominąć Krzyż i przejść od razu do Zmartwychwstania. Ani Krzyża ani śmierci nie da się tak po prostu pominąć. Dlatego Kościół Katolicki posługuje się krucyfiksem zamiast zwykłym, pustym krzyżem (jak to czyni wielu nie-katolików), czy też modnym obecnie Chrystusem Zmartwychwstałym wieńczącym krzyż. Podczas, gdy krzyż jako taki jest powszechnym symbolem, używanym przez wszystkie Kościoły chrześcijańskie, katolicy często posługują się krucyfiksem – krzyżem z postacią cierpiącego Jezusa. Krucyfiks od zawsze jest symbolem bezgranicznej miłości Chrystusa dla całej ludzkości, jak również nadziei Zmartwychwstania: ostatecznego owocu Męki Pańskiej. Święty Augustyn z Hippony (wielki Doktor Kościoła) pięknie naucza o krucyfiksie. Mówi, że śmierć Chrystusa powinna być naszą największą nadzieją i chwałą. Pan przecież dobrowolnie wziął na Siebie nasze grzechy, w zamian ofiarując nam życie wieczne, którego własnymi siłami nie bylibyśmy w stanie osiągnąć. Chrystus, Sam będąc bez grzechu, przyjął na Siebie karę, jaka słusznie należała się nam za nasze grzechy. On: źródło wszelkiej prawości, nie może zatem odmówić nagrody ludziom prawym i nagrodzi ich wierność. Możemy więc otwarcie, bez lęku ani wstydu głosić tę prawdę: że Jezus został za nas ukrzyżowany. Krucyfiks stale przypomina nam o tym, iż nie ma Zmartwychwstania bez Krzyża. Taki jest związek podróży z Przemienieniem. Taką właśnie podróż musiał odbyć Syn Boży i taka podróż czeka też każdego z nas. W swoim monumentalnym dziele pod tytułem „Władca Pierścieni”, wielki katolicki pisarz J.R.R. Tolkien wspomina o Misterium Przemienienia oraz podróży wiodącej przez śmierć do Zmartwychwstania. „GANDALF: Koniec? Nie, podróż nie kończy się tutaj. Śmierć to tylko kolejna ścieżka, którą wszyscy musimy podążyć. Znika szara, deszczowa zasłona tego świata. Wszystko spowija srebrzysta poświata i wtedy to widzisz. PIPPIN: Co, Gandalfie? Co widzę? GANDALF: Białe brzegi. A za nimi daleką, zieloną krainę, skąpaną w blasku wschodzącego słońca. PIPPIN: Cóż, to nie jest takie złe. GANDALF: Nie, nie jest”. Módlmy się za wszystkich zarażonych koronawirusem na całym świecie. Prośmy Boga o miłosierdzie i ochronę, a także o skuteczne lekarstwo i zakończenie epidemii. W związku z ochroną przed koronawirusem, w biuletynie znajdziecie nowe wskazówki Archidiecezji Chicagowskiej, dotyczące celebrowania Mszy Świętej. Najświętsza Dziewico Maryjo, miej nas zawsze w Swojej opiece. Święty Józefie, módl się za nami! Vivat Iesus! Chwała Jezusowi!

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza

This week, we celebrate the Second Sunday of Lent. On the Second Sunday of Lent, the Scripture readings talk about a journey. In the First Reading, from the Book of Genesis, we hear God command Abram to leave his land and to follow God to a new place, a new land. At the end of the reading we hear that Abram went as the LORD directed him. In the Gospel of Matthew, we too hear about a journey. The Gospel tells us of the Transfiguration of our Lord atop a mountain. How is this a journey? It is easy for us to see the journey of Abram in the First Reading, but what is the journey of our Lord in the Gospel? What is the journey of Jesus in the Transfiguration? During the Transfiguration, St. Matthew tells us that “he

was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.” On top of Mt. Tabor, our Lord revealed to three of His Apostles His Divine glory. The glory that the Apostles saw on top of the mountain prefigures the glory of Jesus’ Resurrection. Jesus makes this connection between the Transfiguration to His Resurrection from the dead at the end of the Gospel Himself. “As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, “Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

However, the words of Jesus at the end of the Gospel also teach another important lesson, and this is the connection to the subject of journey. What does our Lord tells His Apostles again? Jesus charged them, “Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” Thus, our Lord reveals to the Apostles (and all followers of Jesus) that the journey to glory goes through death. The journey to the Resurrection goes through the Cross.

Many Christians like to skip the Cross and get to the Resurrection, but there is no skipping the Cross and death. This is why the Catholic Church always uses a Crucifix, instead of just an empty cross (like many non-Catholics use) or the trendy, contemporary Risen Christ atop a cross. While the empty cross is a common Christian symbol shared by all Christian churches, Catholics stand out for their frequent use of the crucifix, a cross that shows the suffering body of Jesus Christ. The purpose of the crucifix has always been to display the immense love Christ has for all humanity and to remind us of the hope of the Resurrection won by that victory of Jesus’ Passion.

The great Church Father and Doctor of the Church St. Augustine offers a great teaching and explanation about the crucifix. “The death of the Lord our God should not be a cause of shame for us; rather, it should be our greatest hope, our greatest glory. In taking upon himself the death that he found in us, he has most faithfully promised to give us life in him, such as we cannot have of ourselves. He loved us so much that, sinless himself, he suffered for us sinners the punishment we deserved for our sins. How then can he fail to give us the reward we deserve for our righteousness, for he is the source of righteousness? How can he, whose promises are true, fail to reward the saints when he bore the punishment of sinners, though without sin himself? Brethren, let us then fearlessly acknowledge, and even openly proclaim that Christ was crucified for us; let us confess it, not in fear but in joy, not in shame but in glory.”

The crucifix reminds us that there is no Resurrection without the cross. This is the journey of the Transfiguration. This is the journey of that our Lord had to pass, and this is the journey that all souls must pass. The great Catholic author J.R.R. Tolkien beautifully reminds us of the Mystery of the Transfiguration and the journey through death to the Resurrection in his great literary work, The Lord of the Rings trilogy. “GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what? GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise. PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad. GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.”

Please pray for all who are sick with the coronavirus around the world. Pray for God’s mercy and protection, and pray for a cure and end to this epidemic. Please see the bulletin for new Archdiocesan guidelines and changes in practice during Mass related to coronavirus precautions. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Good Help, help us with her maternal care, and may St. Joseph pray for us!

Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!
