2nd Sunday of Lent

“Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you.”

Genesis 12:1

God calls all of us to leave behind our old ways and to follow Him, placing our complete trust in Him. Some of the old ways that we may have to struggle to leave behind might be materialism, selfishness and greed. Yet God promises to show us a new land and a better way to live. Remember what St. Teresa of Calcutta said, “God does not call us to be successful, God calls us to be faithful.”

2do domingo de Cuaresma

“Vete de la tierra de tus parientes y de la casa de tu padre a una tierra que te mostraré”.

GÉNESIS 12: 1

Dios nos llama a todos a dejar atrás nuestras viejas costumbres y a seguirlo, confiando completamente en Él. Algunas de las viejas costumbres que tendremos que luchar por dejar atrás podrían ser el materialismo, el egoísmo y la codicia. Sin embargo, Dios promete mostrarnos una nueva tierra y una mejor manera de vivir. Recuerda lo que dijo Santa Teresa de Calcuta: "Dios no nos llama a tener éxito, Dios nos llama a ser fieles".

God is calling you to

be successful .

Flu and Virus Season

Bishop Joe Vasquez is asking

our parish to temporarily

distribute Holy Communion in

the hand, rather than on the tongue; to

discontinue the distribution of the

Precious Blood at Mass and to remove

holy water from stoups at church doors.

Also to forgo holding hands during the

Lord’s Prayer and to offer the Sign of

Peace without handshaking.
