“Lenten practices of giving up pleasures are good reminders that the purpose of life is not pleasure.”
—Venerable Fulton Sheen
Sunday Sunday of Lent
J esus took Peter, John, and James and went up the
mountain to pray. While he was praying his face
changed in appearance and his clothing became
dazzling white. And behold, two men were conversing with
him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his
exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter
and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but
becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men
standing with him. As they were about to part from him, Peter
said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here; let us make
three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
But he did not know what he was saying. While he was still
speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they
became frightened when they entered the cloud. Then from the
cloud came a voice that said, “This is my chosen Son; listen to
him.” After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They
fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had
seen.

deacon’s corner Conversations at Table
Perish That Thought filling that vast empty space between the ears
Deacon Chuck Lanham
R eflection in a way is a uniquely human endeavor for only we are capable of giving serious thought or
consideration to any matter, to spend ample amounts of time in contemplation thoughtfully examining and assessing a
thing with fresh eyes and an open mind. It is a talent of the mind, a most useful and beneficial asset yet like so many
other useful things all too seldom exercised. Critical thinking is fast going the way of the dodo and the dinosaur much as has
rational, objective, and civil discourse and debate. Matters worthy of serious reflection and thoughtful consideration are dismissed
as if one’s hand had come into contact with an open flame or worse avoided as if the mere mention of it evoked a foul stench .
What brought this to mind was a recent video produced by a student at Texas Tech University who asked classmates
questions on history, politics, and pop culture in order to determine how much the students knew about their country. The first
question was “Who won the Civil War?” and their answers were truly dumbfounding. One student stared off into space with no
answer at all, another responded, “We did? The South,” another asked “Like, the one in 1965 or…What Civil War?” while another
asked “Who was even in it? Just tell me who was in it.” Yet another student admitted she didn’t know while another said “I’m
drawing a blank it’s one of those things. I feel like I’m on the Jimmy Kimmel show” and still another said “That’s the
Confederates, right?”
Students were asked “Who is the vice president?” to which some of the responses were “Is that like a trick question?
Okay, I don’t know”, “Don’t know”, “Of…right now? I don’t know”, “I have no idea”, and finally one student said, “Ummm…
What’s his name? Oh my gosh….uh, John…no, Joe Biden.”
When asked “Who did we gain our independence from?” responses of “I have no idea”, “I couldn’t tell you” were the
near unanimous responses.
However, when asked “What show is Snooki on?”, “Who is Brad Pitt married to” and “Who was he married to before
that?” there was complete unanimity in providing the correct answers to all three questions.
Now if this had been my first and only encounter with such exemplary models of well-educated and informed citizenry I
might have enjoyed the moment with a bit more alacrity but unfortunately I have, and I suspect you have as well, seen far too
many similar instances evidencing such a great disturbance in the force that I truly fear for our republic. It certainly makes one
think, should one be bothered to do so, as to the quality and substance of the education that is being provided to our young,
especially within the esteemed and hallowed halls of higher academia.
It takes little reflection to comprehend the fawning adoration and devoted following of a certain publicly avowed
socialist promising free stuff for everyone. Given that those so adoring and devoted have not a clue concerning history and
politics, can anyone question as to why they, so self-entitled yet completely unencumbered with either inconvenient knowledge or
undesired understanding of reality, eagerly bow to the trough of all that free stuff?
If so many cannot even name the Vice President of the United States, why then should we find ourselves surprised that
they don’t know God?

DIOCESE OF RENO
My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Once a year the Diocese of Reno takes up a Special Second
Collection for the benefit of the Diocesan Clergy. The Priests’
Relief Collection gives us the opportunity to express our
thanks to all the priests of the Diocese of Reno who have
touched the lives of so many in Northern Nevada.
We are all aware that as we live longer, our health care needs
also increase so, too, our priests and clergy. All proceeds
donated for this collection stay here in the Diocese and are set
aside to maintain the special help, care and retirement needs of
our priests.
Please be as generous as you can to this special second
collection. I know you share with me a care for the health and
well being of all our Diocesan priests. Your gift enables us to
say “Thank you!” to them for their dedication and service.
Sincerely your in Christ,
Most Reverend Randolph R. Calvo
Bishop of Reno

Grief Support Ministry Crossroads
Saint Albert the Great will be offering one group grief counseling session (rather than two) monthly. The
next sessions will be held on February 14, March 13, April 10, and May 8, 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm in the
Parish Office Building, Gathering Room, (down the steps from the church parking lot and around to
the side of the building facing the school).
Crossroads is for any person or family experiencing the shock and subsequent adjustment issues after the
loss of a loved one. If left unprocessed, the effects of a profound life change can manifest cognitively, phys-
ically, emotionally, and/or spiritually. It can seriously affect health and well-being.
Plans for this Fall:
As attendance has been irregular and sparse in the bi-monthly groups we have offered, we hope to be more
responsive to specific needs and suggestions around this ministry. We have a trained veteran hospice nurse
as part of our team (Ruth Longcore) and a licensed MFT intern (Lisa Barnard) who generously donate their
time and talent.
Our committee is discussing offering a Crossroads Workshop that addresses issues which will be of interest
you, such as end of life needs and resources for the caregiver, spiritual care before and after the death of a
loved one, anointing of the sick (no longer “last rites”), cultural differences, stages of acceptance, role of
food and refreshments after the Mass or ceremony, role of music ministry, and planning your own way of
saying good-bye.
For more information you can e-mail JoAnn Baird at [email protected] or leave voicemail or a text
message on her cell phone 925-699-4765. She will get back to you.
Centering Prayer An Introduction to Contemplative Practice
St. Albert’s Centering Prayer group, led by JoAnn and Chuck Baird, is on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 pm in the chapel.
On Centering Prayer
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CC), § 2653, says:
The Church ‘forcefully and specially exhorts all the Christian faithful…to learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ’ (Phil 3:8) by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures…Let them remember, however, that prayer should accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture, so that a dialogue takes place between God and man. For ‘we speak to him when we pray; we listen to him when we read the divine oracles.’
Centering Prayer is a spiritual custom based upon the Word of God, Lectio Divina. We strive to increase the time we spend alone with God to 15-20 minutes twice a day. The purpose of our gathering is to encourage one another each month in this sacred, individual practice, in the words of CC, § 2560, in “the encounter of God’s thirst with ours.”
All members of the Centering Prayer group invite you to join them in the joy of this spiritual discipline.
