FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT

CORCORAN’S CORNER R.C.I.A.... This Sunday afternoon, at Holy Name Cathedral, our parish RCIA [Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults] candi-dates Ronald Summers and Carrie Otto will be received by our bishop and welcomed as members of the Elect who will be baptized and received into the Church at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday. We will continue to pray with them during the Lenten phase of their journey.

The Holy Season of Lent… Lent, as a holy time of the year, leads us to deepen our faith relationship with the Lord, for us to be more attentive to Him in our lives. Once again we have distributed the “Little Black Book” of Lenten reflections, which offers many opportunities to reflect in prayer on God’s presence in our lives. This Lent our parish will offer a variety of ways to focus our attention on the Lord: Lenten Morning Prayer Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM, Church Morning Mass Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM, Church Lenten Evening Prayer Wednesdays at 7:00 PM, Church Lenten Stations of the Cross Fridays, 7:00 PM, Stations Chapel (Church) Through our use of the Catholic Relief Services “Rice Bowl” coin banks distributed by our Social Action Ministry, and our Knights of Columbus sponsored Lenten Canned Food Drive (held on the second, fourth, and sixth week-ends of Lent) to support local food pantries, we have op-portunities to engage in the Lenten discipline of almsgiving, and show the Lord’s presence in our care for those in need. We seek to be people of generosity. Our Parish Lenten Reconciliation Service will be held on Sunday, March 31, at 7:00 PM. That assists us in turn-ing our hearts to the Lord. Our parish Lenten Book Discussion Group led by Claudia Nolan, Director of Liturgy; our Scripture Study Group led by Fr. Bill Gubbins; the Sacred Space Prayer Group led by Sr. Liz Pardo, I.H.M.; our monthly Centering Prayer led by parishioner Marge Quinn; and new this year—a Young Adult Book Discussion group led by Kyle Groves—all offer opportunities for spiritual growth. In addition to our days of fast [Ash Wednesday and Good Friday] and abstinence [Ash Wednesday, and all the Fridays of Lent] our Creation Care Team will offer a Lenten weekly calendar that encourages us to perform a variety of actions promoting good stewardship of the earth and encourage us to fast from waste. This year’s Lenten Parish Mission will be held from Sunday, April 7, Monday, April 8, and Tuesday, April 9, beginning at 7:00 PM. It will be led by Arthur Zannoni, a well-known theologian, speaker, author, and teacher. Our annual Mission promises to be a powerful week for us all. Our Seniors of Seton will host their annual Morning of Re-flection on “The Seven Last Words of Christ” with author Arthur Zannoni as the guest speaker. Holy Week begins with our liturgies on Palm Sunday weekend, April 13 and 14, and our annual treat of the Palm

Sunday Concert/Cantata which will be held at 3:00 PM, and features our Teen and Adult Choirs, Lectors, Liturgical Dancers, and the Seton Symphony Orchestra. This musi-cal gift to the community helps us move our hearts and spirits into the depths of Holy Week. The arts have a way of touching our souls sometimes even more effectively than our own mind’s thoughts do. The liturgies of Holy Week: Commemoration of the Lord’s Last Supper on Holy Thursday, April 18, at 7:00 PM; Walk with the Cross (in Orland Hills) at 1:30 PM; Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion at 3:00 PM; Living Stations led by out teen group, at 7:00 PM; all make for a prayer-filled Good Friday, April 19. On Holy Saturday, April 20, the Easter Basket Blessings is held at 12 Noon-sharp, and our Easter Vigil at 7:30 PM, lead us to the celebrations of Easter Sun-day, April 21, with Masses at 7:15, 8:30, 10:00, and 11:30 AM. We celebrate the Holy Season of Lent with our hearts and spirits opened to the Lord’s saving grace.

Our St. Patrick/St. Joseph Party… Last call for tickets to our St. Patrick/St. Joseph Party to be held on Saturday, March 16, 7:00 PM, in our McBrady Center. The $30/pp ticket is available at our Sunday Masses or you can call Anna Talley at 708-532-6731, to buy tickets and/or reserve a table. We plan on having “Mass Time” tables (a table for people who attend specific Mass times), as well as tables for Religious Education and Cardinal Joseph Bernardin School families.

Seniors of Seton… Congratulations to the Seniors of Seton on reaching a historically high membership. They currently have 273 members—a new record. The vitality of the club, the mem-bership’s friendliness, and its active leadership— are all a boon to the club.

Looking Ahead… Our Men’s Club will meet on Wednesday, March 13, at 7:00 PM, in the McBrady Center. Our Women’s Club will meet on Tuesday, March 19, at 7:00 PM, in the McBrady Center. Our Parish Finance Council will meet on Tuesday, March 19, at 7:30 PM, in the Parish Conference Room. Our Parish Pastoral Council will meet on Thursday, March 21, at 7:00 PM, in the Great Room.

The Knights of Columbus… We thank the local Knights of Columbus for presenting to our parish religious education program a generous do-nation of $1,965 to underwrite our programs work in pro-viding an inclusive religious education experience for stu-dents with special needs. The money raised by the Knights in their fall “Tootsie Roll Drive” is put by them right back into our community, and our mission to help children with special needs. We thank the Knights for their support, and our parishioners for supporting the Knights!

FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT

— RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS —

RITE OF THE ELECT

Since early Fall, two adults from our parish have been meeting almost weekly with other RCIA candidates of St. Stephen and St. George Parishes to ask more about our Catholic faith. It is with great joy that we introduce our Elect who will travel to Holy Name Cathedral today with all the RCIA candidates in the Archdiocese of Chicago to be received at the Rite of the Elect. We joyfully introduce these two candidates to you this week. They are like all of us who have come together by the power of the Spirit to become members of our Catholic Church.

To be received in full Communion to the Catholic Church

My name is Carrie Otto… I was born in Orland Park, are reside there today. I am a single mom of three beautiful children that keep me busy and young at heart. I have held my career in the Health and Wellness industry for over 15 years and eventually started my own business, Elan Therapeutic Massage in Frankfort. God has given me a great passion for helping individuals find comfort and healing through massage and body work whether post injury, cancer, or from the effects of stress on the body. I was raised in a non-denominational church and have had much exposure my entire life of the Christian Faith. Upon seeking a deeper understanding and relationship with the Lord, and an unrelenting need to understand the Catholic Faith, I began my journey at St. Elizabeth Seton Church by first attending Mass. My fiancé, (who is a St. Elizabeth Seton parishioner) and his four incredible children offer their love and support, combined with the members of this church, helped me make the decision to take the journey into becoming a member of the Catholic Church. I love what God has done in my life and I look forward to growing further in my faith and worship of the Holy One.

To be Baptized, Confirmed and Receive Eucharist

My name is Ron Summers… I have worked at GE Healthcare for the past 27 years. I am married to my beautiful wife Stacey and have two wonderful children, Jenny and Ryan. We have attended St Elizabeth Seton Church since we moved to Orland Hills in 1993. Both of my kids went to Cardinal Joseph Bernardin School. My daughter Jennifer, attended Kindergarten the very first year Cardinal Joseph Bernardin School opened in 2000. My family encouraged me to be baptized into the Catholic Faith for a long time but I felt that I never had time to complete the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation) training. Now I am ready to be formally accepted into the Catholic Faith and fulfill something that I have wanted to do for years.

We ask you to pray for our Elect who will be celebrating their faith journey at our Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday.

What is the meaning of Lent?

W hy do we set aside 40 days each year to voluntarily give up

some legitimate enjoyments so as to prepare for Easter?

The need for Lent is written right into our DNA.

P erhaps a look at some of the images for Lent can help make this

clearer. Religiously the richest image we have for Lent is the image of the desert, of Jesus going into there voluntarily to fast and pray. Scripture tells us that Jesus went into the desert for 40 days and, while there, he ate nothing. This doesn't necessarily mean that, literally, he took no food or water during that time, but rather that he deprived himself of all physical supports (including food, water, enjoyments, distractions) that pro-tected him from feeling, full force, his vulnerability, de-pendence, and need to surrender in deeper trust to God. And in doing this, we are told, he found himself hungry and consequently vulnerable to temptations from the devil—but also, by that same token, more open to God. The desert, by taking away the securities and protec-tions of ordinary life, strips us bare and leaves us naked, both before God and the devil. This brings us face-to-face with our own chaos. That's an image for Lent. But we have some wonderfully rich anthropological im-ages for Lent as well. Let me briefly mention three of them. In virtually every culture there is, somewhere, the concept of having “to sit in the ashes for a time” as a necessary preparation for some deep joy or fulfillment. We see this, for example, in the story of Cinderella. The name itself, Cinderella, holds the key: It is derived from two words: Cinders, meaning ashes; and Puella, the Latin word for young girl. Etymologically, Cinderella means the eternal girl who sits in the ashes, with the further idea be-ing that, before she, or anyone else, gets to put on the royal clothes, go to the ball, and dance with the prince, she must first spend some time sitting in the ashes, tasting some emptiness, feeling some powerlessness, and trust-ing that this deprivation and humiliation is necessary to help bring about the maturity needed to do the royal dance. There is a similar concept inside some North American Native cultures, where it is accepted that, in everyone's life, there will come a season where he or she will have to

spend some time sitting in the ashes. For example, in some tribes, when they used to live communally in long- houses, the fires for heating and warmth were kept in the center of the house so that a partially open roof could function as a chim-ney. Ashes would, of course, accumulate around the fires and occasionally someone from the community would, for a pe-riod of time, simply sit in the ashes, quiet, withdrawn from ordinary activities, and take little food or water. Eventually a day would come when he or she would get up, wash off the ashes, and resume normal activities. Nobody asked why. It was taken for granted that this person was working through something, a depres-

sion or crisis of some sort, and needed that space, that quiet, that withdrawal, to trudge through some inner chaos and demons. In short, he or she was seen to need a Lenten season. A third image is that of being a child of Saturn. In some mythologies, Saturn was thought to be the planet that causes us to feel sadness and despondency. And so if you were a poet, an artist, a philosopher, a writer, or a religious thinker you would want, sometimes, to sit under Saturn, that is, to enter voluntarily into certain inner areas of the soul that ordinarily you might want to avoid precisely be-cause they trigger chaos, sadness, heaviness, and de-spondency. Part of the idea was also that, occasionally in every person's life, you would for a time become a child of Saturn, meaning that you would be overcome by a certain sadness and heaviness and would have to cease your normal activities and sit for a time with that, patiently learn-ing some lessons that only a certain sadness could teach you. Again, the idea was that there is some necessary in-ner work that can only be done in sadness and heaviness and we need sometimes to enter these voluntarily.

F inally, there is yet another rich image in anthropol-ogy to help us understand Lent, the image of our own tears as reconnecting us to the flow of life. The

image is simple: Our tears are salt water. As is the ocean which is ultimately the origin of all life on this planet. What our tears do is to put us back into touch with the physical origins of all life on this planet, salt water. The idea then is that, occasionally, it is good to forsake the joys of life for the salt of tears because only tears can deepen us and help us connect to our origins and grounding.

Lent is meant to do exactly that.

CRS Rice Bowl is the Lenten program of Catholic Relief Services, the official inter-national development and humanitarian relief agency of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. CRS Rice Bowl helps Catholics in the United States live out the Lenten pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving in solidarity with our poorest brothers and sisters. Seventy-five percent of CRS Rice Bowl donations help the poor overseas, and twenty-five percent support local hunger and poverty alleviation projects in our Archdiocese.

BLESSING OF THE RICE BOWLS Loving God, You are blessed and the source of every blessing. Be with us now, and as I use this CRS Rice Bowl in prayer, fasting and almsgiving this Lent. May it be an instrument of your love and a reminder of your great desire for peace and justice. May they serve to unite us with our brothers and sisters around the world, especially those who are hungry, homeless and in need. May they help us deepen our own faith in you and our love for one another as we await with joyful anticipation the great celebration of Easter. Amen.

PICK UP YOUR RICE BOWL THIS WEEKEND!

You’ll find prayer, educational and family resources online at:

Norma’s Story For young families living in the mountains of Guatemala, raising a baby can be hard. Most families grow corn and beans for a living, but a long-standing drought has caused harvests to shrink. There are few job opportunities, which means putting food on the table is a daily challenge. That’s why when Norma discovered she was pregnant, she wondered how she would manage. “When I was young, my mom and dad didn’t have money to buy much food,” she says. “My mom would split one egg among four children.” Norma wanted more for her son, Victor. But at age 20, she didn’t have much experience beyond helping her mother around the house. So, she looked for help. She found it in a CRS-sponsored program that teaches young mothers how to raise healthy children, grow nutritious food in small gardens and manage a healthy diet. Plus, CRS provided Norma with food throughout her pregnancy and monthly medical check-ups during Victor’s first two years of life. “I learned a lot of beautiful things,” Norma says. “I learned how to take care of my boy and what foods to feed him so that he can grow healthy and strong.” Now, Norma is sharing what she learned with others as a “mother monitor.” “It makes me proud to share the experience I had and the lessons I learned with other women,” she says. It makes Norma proud—and makes her community a better place to raise a family.

Learn more about CRS’ work at crsricebowl.org

Jesus reminds us that we are all made in God's im-age and likeness. That means that every human being has a special value and a purpose. We need to care for each other so we can be the people God calls us to be.

Lenten Weekday Prayer Opportunity

What Is Morning Prayer? Not many people are thoroughly familiar with this form of communal

prayer. Long ago, our ancestors in faith had ways for individuals and households to praise and thank God constantly, with the poetic richness of praying at morning and evening with hymns and psalms known by heart. As time went on we lost those forms of prayer. Along with the Lord’s Supper, fixed-hour prayer is considered the oldest form of Christian spirituality. The psalmist’s example to praise God seven times each day, were trying to follow St. Paul’s exhortation to “pray without ceasing.” The apostles too used psalms in their prayers, and the psalms remain the backbone of the Liturgy of the Hours today. Both the ending and the beginning of the day were, to the ancients, natural times for prayer. Morning prayer makes us rise and thank God for a restful night, for another day of life, and for the strength and courage to do God’s will. The spiritual practice of celebrating Morning Prayer is a way of consecrating the day to God.

FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT

1.Abstinence from meats is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years old/older on Ash Wednesday and on all the Fridays of Lent. 2. Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59. Those who are bound by this may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength according to one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted. The special Paschal fast/abstinence are prescribed for Good Friday and encouraged for Holy Saturday.

“The season of Lent is a preparation for the celebration of Easter. The liturgy prepares the catechumens for the celebration of the Paschal mystery by the several stages of Christian Initiation; it also prepares the faithful, who recall their baptism and do penance in preparation for Easter.”

(General Norms for the Year, #27) By the threefold discipline of fasting, almsgiving and prayer the Church keeps Lent from Ash Wednesday until the evening of Holy Thursday. All of the faithful and the catechumens should undertake serious practice of these three traditions. Failure to observe penitential days totally or a substantial number of such days must be considered serious.

“On weekdays of Lent, we strongly recommend participation in daily Mass and self-imposed observances of fasting. In light of grave human needs which weigh on the Christian conscience in all seasons, we urge particularly during Lent, generosity to local, national and world programs of sharing of all things needed to translate our duty to penance into a means of implementing the right of the poor to their part of the abundance.” (US Bishops)

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

Caregiver Support Group

To the outside world, many of us appear to have a wonderful life living on easy street or not far from it. For some of our pa-

rishioners, this is far from the truth. If we peak behind the closed doors into the home of someone with an in-capacitating illness, terminal disease or dementia, we get a glimpse of the challenges existing not only for the patient but also for the caregiver. It truly is a challenge for caregivers to help their loved ones navigate a life filled with highs and lows all the while seeking to main-tain compassion and tenderness and good self care. A Caregiver Support Group meets monthly at St. Francis of Assisi Church, 15050 S. Wolf Rd., Orland Park. The meetings are held on the first Monday of the month at 1pm in the Niehaus Room (enter through the front doors of the church and turn to the right). The next meeting is Monday, April 1. If you have any questions regarding this group, please call Char Klabacha at 708-349-5090 or Marie Flanagan at 708-687-3351.

The St. Elizabeth Seton Social Action Ministry will meet this Tuesday, March 12, at 9:45am in the

Gubbins Center for Faith Formation. All are welcome.

LENT is for Loving

Every year we read about how Jesus taught, healed people, and loved everyone. Then we come to a special time every year when we try to be more like Jesus. It is called Lent. We remember Jesus’ words, how he prayed, and how he acted toward others. He invited everyone to be his friend. It is not easy to be like Jesus and to follow his ways. One of the ways we can be more like Jesus during Lent is to “Do A Good Deed” every day beginning on Ash Wednesday.

Think about all the things you do in a week!

You can make your bed, help with the dishes, when at school sit with someone new at lunch, help someone in your neighborhood, pray for someone that you know is sick, walk your dog, clean your hamsters or guinea pig cage, don’t use your telephone or iPad for one night, or multiple nights, call your grandmother or grandfather on the phone and tell them how much you love them, be a good sport at your soccer, basketball, or lacrosse game. These are suggestions, but you can think of so many other ways you can do a “Good Deed.” LENTEN “GOOD DEEDS” ACTIVITY Each week we will provide a new Lenten Cross in the bulletin.

1. Cut out the Lenten cross (to the right) each week. 2. Write down your daily “Good Deed” on the Lenten Cross. 3. On the following weekend, we invite you to bring to

church your Cross filled in with your “Good Deeds” from the past week.

4. We will pin them on the “Presentation Boards” located in the Narthex.

If you do a Good Deed everyday during Lent, you will bring in seven different Lenten Crosses. Each one will be pinned onto the Presentation Board.

A LENTEN PRAYER Lord Jesus, you know each of us by name and have called us to follow you. Guide us in right ways as we begin our Lenten journey. Teach us how to respond anew in every opportunity each day will bring. We ask you this, you who loves us with the Father and the Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen.

It is not easy to be like Jesus, but think

about 40 days of Good Deeds!

That is a very good start!

Please cut out this cross, follow the instructions to the left and return to the church each weekend.

— SCAM ALERT — FROM FATHER BILL CORCORAN

It has come to my attention that some crook has set up a false e-mail account in my name, asking you to respond. If you respond, they subsequently ask you to buy and mail gift cards to a family in need. This is a fraud. It has happened to another pastor in a neighboring parish as well. I have no idea how they got your e-mail address as my own e-mail lists have not been hacked. A word to the wise.

CARDINAL JOSEPH BERNARDIN SCHOOL JOB OPENING

The Cardinal Bernardin “SCRIP” team has a position available. The job consists of filling SCRIP orders, selling SCRIP, and keeping accurate inventory of SCRIP cards. (SCRIP cards are, essentially, “gift cards.”) Skills include working with the public, as well as creating spreadsheets and word documents. General bookkeeping skills are a plus. Applicants should be able to work 6-8 hours per week including one evening (alternate weeks). The major-ity of the work is done in the Cardinal Bernardin School office. During the pre-Christmas weeks, the team sells SCRIP at neighboring parishes. If interested, please con-tact Corinna Pytel at 708-478-0710.

GIRL SCOUT SUNDAY March 10, 2019

Today, Girl Scouts around the world are encouraged to wear their Scouting uniform to their place of worship as a celebration of the start of Girl Scout Week, which this year commemorates the 107th anniversary of the first Girl Scout meeting held by our founder, Juliette Gordon Low. Juliette’s vision of a community of girls founded in faith and in service to others is still carried on today by more than 1.7 million registered Girl Scouts, and three-quarters of a million registered adult members worldwide. In the United States alone, more than 50 million women alive today have worn a Girl Scout uniform at some point in their lives. Oftentimes when we see a Girl Scout in her uniform, cookies are the first thing that comes to our mind.… yes, we sell a lot of cookies, and those cookies are oh-so-good! But on Girl Scout Sunday, our goal is to highlight how Girl Scouts are so much more than the cookies that we sell. Here are a few recent examples of how Girl Scouts in our own community make the world a better place by putting their hands and their hearts to work in service of others: — visiting retirement communities and memory care facilities, spending time with residents who might not other-wise have young visitors to brighten their days; — sending care packages to US Soldiers serving abroad, to remind them that our prayers, love and thanks are with them; —"adopting" residents of group homes for developmentally disabled adults, forging friendships that have grown and blossomed; —- holding coat drives and food drives for local organiza-tions to help clothe and feed those in need; — participating in community-wide cleanup days by picking up trash in parks throughout our community, and planting roadside gardens to beautify our towns. These are just a few of the many recent examples of the good works that our Girl Scouts have done that go far beyond selling cookies, and it is amazing how far reaching these young ladies have been. So when you see a Girl Scout wearing her uniform to-day (or any other day), please take a moment to congratu-late her on all of her Scouting accomplishments. Each patch, medal and pin on her uniform symbolizes her hard work and dedication to earn it. Through Girl Scouting, young ladies all around the world have looked inside themselves to find their own strength in their faith, and then looked outward to see how they can use those strengths in service of others. The Girl Scouts organization continues to build girls of courage, confidence and character who truly make our world a bet-ter place. If you would like to join us, please visit the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana website girlscoutsgcnwi.org to register your future Girl Scout or to volunteer with us!

SAINT OF THE WEEK

BLESSED ANGELA SALAWA (1881-1922)

Blessed Angela Salawa was a maid for many years, and eventually became a Secular Franciscan who worked with wounded and sick soldiers during World War I. Abandoned by everyone before her death, she died on March 12, 1922 .

ANGELA SERVED CHRIST AND CHRIST’S LITTLE ONES WITH ALL HER STRENGTH. Born in Siepraw, near Kraków, Poland, she was the 11th child of Bartlomiej and Ewa Salawa. In 1897, she moved to Kraków where her older sister Therese lived. Angela immediately began to gather together and instruct young women domestic workers. Dur-ing World War I, she helped prisoners of war with-out regard for their nationality or religion. The writ-ings of Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross were a great comfort to her. Angela gave great service in caring for soldiers wounded in World War I. After 1918, her health did not permit her to exercise her customary apostolate. Addressing herself to Christ, she wrote in her diary, “I want you to be adored as much as you were de-stroyed.” In another place, she wrote, “Lord, I live by your will. I shall die when you desire; save me be-cause you can.” At her 1991 beatification in Kraków, Pope John Paul II said: “It is in this city that she worked, that she suffered and that her holiness came to maturity. While connected to the spirituality of Saint Francis, she showed an extraordinary responsiveness to the action of the Holy Spirit” (L’Osservatore Romano, vol-ume 34, number 4, 1991).

FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT

LIVING the

WORD

LIVING the

WORD

NEXT WEEK’S FOCUS: MORE THAN PARTLY CLOUDY

Clouds are frequently present in the Scripture. A pillar of cloud led the Israelites through the desert, and the Abba of Jesus speaks from a cloud. When our lives seem cloudy, we can trust in God’s guidance.

FIRST READING The Lord made a covenant with his faithful servant, Abram (Genesis 15:5-12, 17-18). God establishes a covenant (treaty or pact) with Abra-ham. The people of Israel used this term to describe the fact that God had chosen them to be His people. Part of every covenant was a series of blessings and curses that the parties would call down upon themselves. They were to be blessed if they fulfilled all of the prescrip-tions to which they were committing themselves but cursed if they deviated from the stipulations of the cove-nant. This is the reason for the splitting of the animals. By passing through the midst of the animals, God was stating, “May I be torn asunder like these animals if I do not keep my covenant with Abram. The description of Abraham’s inheritance fits the description of the land of Israel during the reign of King David, from the Nile to the Euphrates.

SECOND READING We await the Lord Jesus, who will change us to conform with His glorified body (Philippians 3:17—4:1). God created the world to be good, but we often misuse the things of this world (e.g., food, wealth, sex, etc.). We become enslaved to our passions. The only way to break out of this prison is to keep the proper perspective.

We are living in this world, but we cannot live for it. We are citizens of heaven, and we must live with a certain detachment toward anything in this world that would drag us down and make us forget our true homeland. GOSPEL READING Peter, James, and John witness the transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain (Luke 9:28b-36). The account of the Transfiguration opens in a typical manner for the Gospel of Luke: Jesus went up the moun-tain to pray. Jesus prays in this Gospel so that He might discern and obey the will of the Father. Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus to show that Jesus is the fulfillment of the law (represented by Moses) and the prophets (represented by Elijah). Furthermore, both of them were associated with the coming of the Messiah, for Moses prayed for someone who would be greater than himself, and Elijah was to appear to prepare the chosen people for the Day of the Lord. The disciples are con-fused. As often happens when we come into contact with the Holy, they could not fully understand the meaning of it all. God the Father proclaims Jesus as His Chosen Son. This is something also heard at the Baptism, and even under the cross when Jesus is proclaimed to be the Son of God. REFLECTION Have you ever felt as though you were in a cloud, when life was foggy and you couldn’t see ahead? Peter, James, and John are with Jesus at most key experiences in his life. They want to hold on to this Transfiguration experi-ence. But “a cloud came and cast a shadow over them” (Luke 9:34). Frightened, a clearing comes when they hear God’s voice: “This is my chosen Son; listen to him” (9:35). They fall silent, as we can when presented with such clarity. Abram was in a cloud. The Promised Land was too long in coming and too far ahead. He wants a sign. The sign? God asks him to make a cove-nant, a contract between unequal parties. He does as he is asked, and, at the close of day a trance, a deep terrify-ing darkness, overtakes him. Only by entering that cloud of darkness does he find the sign he seeks. He hears God’s promise to him and his descendants. To find clear skies or safe havens we often must drive through the fog. Life can seem like an endless succession of clouds and fog. Lent invites us to remember those foggy stretches to stand firm in the Lord. God will bring us through fog to clarity and through darkness to light. Be silent before the One who is with us at all times.

FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT

A FINAL THOUGHT FOR YOUR WEEK

First Sunday of Lent By Carolyn A. Wright, Celebration Magazine

I n 1989, Henri Nouwen, a Catholic priest and one of the most beloved spiritual writers

of the 20th century published a short yet powerful volume, In the Name of Jesus: Reflections on Christian Leadership. This text is Nouwen’s concomitant reflection on two Gospel passages: the story of Jesus’ temptation in the desert (Mt 4: 1-10); and the story of Peter’s call to shepherd Jesus’ flock (Jn 21:15-19). While the name of the text might find many checking the text off the reading list before even adding it because of the subtitle, Reflections on Christian Leadership, I would encourage you not to let that deter you. As disciples of Christ, we all lead others in various ways and there is much to be gained from Nouwen’s thoughts. Nouwen breaks open each temptation in light of a shift in attitude, or what I prefer to call posture of presence and a particular practice or discipline which facilitates that shift.

Let’s look again at the temptations.

J esus is taunted to be relevant: Turn these stones into bread! Jesus is taunted again to be spectacular: Worship me and I will give you all this

power and glory! Jesus is goaded once more to be powerful: Throw yourself off this parapet and save yourself! With each needling provocation, Jesus lets his tempter know that he stands firmly in God. Calling on the wisdom in the passage from the Gospel of John, Nouwen demands that we move away from the temptation of relevancy to a posture of prayer; from the temptation to be spectacular or popular to a posture of service and right relationship; and from the temptation to be powerful, being in the forefront, to reflecting and being led by those in need. Each is a very tall order indeed.

I wonder if in this season of Lent, we might choose just one temptation, one provocation

which needles us and focus our energies there — to shift our posture just a bit.

T his being the first week of Lent, I plan to start with a shift in my posture from

relevancy to prayer. During Lent, the church calls us to deepen our spiritual life by engaging the practices of prayer, almsgiving and fasting. Why else might I start here? Perhaps because the last verse of the passage from Luke is a wake-up call. There are three scriptural accounts of the temptation of Jesus in the desert. The accounts from the Gospels of Matthew and Mark end with the angels coming to support Jesus after the third temptation. But this account, the one from the Gospel of Luke which we read today ends, “When the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from him for a time.” He departed from him for a time? For a time? What does that mean? We all know from experience that temptations to be less than or to be more of what we are

not called to be as Christians, stares us in the face more often than we would like: Take credit for the success even though there was a team who did most of the work. Accept the promotion which should have been offered to another person in the department. Make a decision which impacts those in our care negatively because of our foolish pride. It is only a matter of time; temptations return again and again needling us where we are weakest in our resolve to live fully our call as Christians.

W hether it is the temptation toward relevancy, popularity or power, any resolve I have to combat these is grace

and is founded in my relationship with God; it is founded in prayer. And how blessed I am — how blessed we are — that when facing any temptation to be less than who we are called to be as Christians, we might call out in prayer with the beautiful rejoinder provided as today’s psalm response:

“Be with me, Lord, when I am in trouble.”
