TRUST In God We Trust marks the currency of our nation. It should mark our lives as well. In fact, however, we hesitate to trust others, including God, absolutely. We prefer to hold our trust in reserve, fearful of being hurt or betrayed. Todays readings remind us that Lent is a season of trusta trust that transforms. God makes a remarkable promise to Abraham. To receive this promise, all Abraham need do is trust. Paul tells the Philippians that they too must trust that they are the beneficiaries of Gods bountiful grace; that they are not citizens of any earthly kingdom, but citizens of heaven. These two readings invite us to hear the Gospel account of deep trusttrust that God will fulfill all promises and that Jesus passage will lead to transformation and new life. Copyright J. S.

Part of the power of Lent is that we 2 teaspoons baking powder do it together, and although individuals decide on 1 teaspoon salt different ways to keep it, it is fundamentally the 1 teaspoon baking soda same journey.

Naboestwa Wielkopostne:
Droga Krzyowa w pitki o godzinie 6:30 wieczorem Gorzkie ale w niedziele o godzinie 4:30 po poudniu poczone ze Msz wit.
CIAO CHWALEBNE Podczas czytania dzisiejszej Ewangelii przypomniaa mi si anegdota z ycia pewnego wzitego kaznodziei. Ot na niedzielnej Mszy w., na ktrej odczytano Ewangeli o Przemienieniu Paskim, wygosi on najkrtsze w swym yciu kazanie. A mimo to, wywar spore wraenie na swych suchaczach i sprawi, e wielu wzio sobie do serca jego sowa. Kazanie to atwo przytoczy, bo zawierao si w trzech nastpujcych po sobie sowach: Przemieniajmy si, przemieniajmy si, przemieniajmy si!. Rzeczywicie, podejmujc trud wielkopostnego nawrcenia, przez post, modlitw i jamun, mamy nadziej, e doprowadzi on do naszego przemienienia. Zwykle mylimy tutaj o przemianie naszego postpowania z gorszego na lepsze. A jednak Boa obietnica siga dalej. aska Chrystusa, ktra daje nam si do nawrcenia i zmiany swego postpowania, sprawi rwnie i to, e kiedy nasze marne, ziemskie ciaa zostan przemienione na wzr chwalebnego ciaa naszego Zbawiciela. T tajemnic objawia nam w. Pawe w czytanym dzi fragmencie listu do Filipian. Aposto przypomina rwnie o tym, e nasza ojczyzna jest w niebie. Czasem wydawa nam by si mogo, e obietnice przemiany naszego ciaa na ciao chwalebne, niezniszczalne, jakie Bg skada wobec nas, s nierealne. W takich chwilach wspomnijmy na wiar Abrahama. Bg obieca mu co, co rwnie mogo wydawa si nierealne potomstwo liczne jak gwiazdy na niebie. Abraham uwierzy, Bg poczyta mu to za sprawiedliwo, a obietnica staa si faktem. o. Marek Cul dominikanin
