SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT
FEBRUARY 21, 2016
Respect Life News
40 Days for Life Prayers with Bishop Burbidge
You are invited to take part in the national 40 Days for Life prayer vigil during Lent. Bishop Michael F. Burbidge kicks off this
Spring’s campaign on Thursday, February 11, at 8:00 a.m. at the A Woman's Choice abortion facility,
3305 Drake Circle in Raleigh. The campaign of focused prayer will continue through Lent from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. each day.
During the vigil, parishioners from St. Eugene and Our Lady of the Rosary will be meeting to pray at A Woman’s Choice each
Wednesday at noon. Come and join us on your lunch hour! Or, be a part of the vigil by praying for those who are struggling with
a decision of life or death for their unborn child.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pray for Life John the Baptist leapt for joy in his mother’s womb. We pray that people may realize that abortion is not about children who
“might” come into the world, but about children who are already in the world, living and growing in the womb.
Pray a decade of the Rosary - 1 Our Father, 10 Hail Mary’s, 1 Glory Be then the Fatima Prayer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
February 8: International Day of Prayer and Awareness against Human Trafficking
The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and the International Union of Superiors General has designated February 8 as an
annual day of prayer and awareness against human trafficking. February 8 is the feast day of St. Josephine Bakhita,
who was kidnapped as a child and sold into slavery in Sudan and Italy. Once Josephine was freed, she became a Canossian nun
and dedicated her life to sharing her testament of deliverance from slavery and comforting the poor and suffering.
She was declared a Saint in 2000. Pray for those that have suffered through this affront to human dignity, for their comfort and
strength and to help empower survivors.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A STEWARDSHIP PARISH
My parish is composed of people just like me. I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am. It will be holy, if I am. Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
It will do great work, if I work. It will be prayerful, if I pray.
It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver.
It will bring others into its worship, if I invite and bring them. It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearlessness
and faith, of compassion, charity and mercy, if I, who will make it what it is, am filled with these same things.
Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my parish to be.
Amen.
Triunfo Sobre La Muerte
Triumph Over Death
Segundo Domingo De Cuaresma
Second Sunday Of Lent
(Génesis 15:5-12, 17-18; Filipenses 3:17—4:1; Lucas 9:28b-36)
(Genesis 15:5-12, 17-18; Philippians 3:17—4:1; Luke 9:28b-36)
En nuestra cultura, cuando se da una palabra sobre algo
podemos estar seguros de que lo prometido va a ocurrir; esta
en juego el honor de quien da la palabra. Si, además, la
persona que da la palabra esta avalada por su propia historia o
por quienes nos dan razón de la persona, que son personas de
prestigio o de buen nombre, podemos estar mas que seguros de
lo que esperamos.
In our culture, when we give someone our word, we rest
assured that what was promised will happen. The honor or
prestige of the person who gave their word is in jeopardy;
furthermore, if the person who gave their word is backed up by
their own history or by people of immense esteem or
reputation, we can be more than sure that what was promised
will happen.
En la Transfiguración, Jesús trae para avalar su palabra de
triunfo y de vida a los profetas y a Moisés. ¿Qué es lo que
promete? El triunfo final sobre la muerte, su gloria; pero
primero, hay que pasar por el dolor y la muerte. Esta promesa
de Jesús no es solo para que todos estemos seguros de que va a
ganar, sino para que todos podamos aceptar el dolor y la
muerte que acompaña a los discípulos. Es una promesa en la
que Jesús participa, pero con sus seguidores. Podemos aceptar
el dolor, la persecución y las dificultades de la vida con
confianza, esperanza y total seguridad. Jesús ha dado su
palabra y la ha avalado con la presencia de Moisés y Elías, y
con su Transfiguración; por tanto, no nos podemos quedar
contemplando la gloria, sino que hay que regresar a la ciudad.
Una vez que hemos tenido la seguridad de la promesa,
regresamos a nuestro mundo para vivir la vida de Jesús en
nuestro propio cuerpo: su pasión, muerte y resurrección.
In the Transfiguration, Jesus brings as endorsement of his
words of triumph and life, the life of the prophets and Moses.
What did he promise? A final triumph over death, his glory;
but first, it was necessary to pass through pain and death. The
promise of Jesus is not just for those who are assured they are
going to win, but so everyone can accept the pain and death
that accompanies the disciples. It is a promise in which Jesus
participates, but does so with his followers. We can accept
pain, persecution, and difficulties in life with trust, hope, and
complete certainty. Jesus has given his word and it is
guaranteed with the presence of Moses and Elijah, and his
Transfiguration; therefore, we cannot remain just
contemplating the glory, we must instead return to the city.
Once we have obtained the certainty of the promise, we return
to our world to live the life of Jesus in our own body: his
passion, death, and resurrection.
Para la Reflexión
¿Qué aspectos de mi vida me resultan mas difíciles de
aceptar? ¿Cómo me enfrento al dolor? ¿Qué cosas me quitan
la esperanza o amenazan con hacerme perder la confianza en
la promesa de Cristo? ¿En que se basa mi alegría?
Nuestra Parroquia
For Reflection
What aspects of my life are more difficult to accept? How do I
face pain? What takes away my hope or threatens to help me
lose trust in the promise of Christ? In what do I base my
happiness?

Did you know that Catholic Parish Outreach food pantry gave a week’s worth
of groceries to an average of 9,600 people per month in 2015? Our Knights of Columbus
volunteers will be handing out grocery bags this weekend, with an attached shopping list.
Please help CPO serve the less fortunate in our community by taking a bag and
returning it on of February 27th and 28th. If you have any questions or would like
to help with this project, please call the Parish Office, 919 365-7114, Ext. 200.
It’s Almost Time to Begin Festival Planning!
The contest for the 2016 festival logo concept takes place this year between April 8 and April 24, with the winning entry announced on May 15. Pre-sales for the 2016 festival T-shirts featuring the new logo will take place in early June. The presales period is your best opportunity to ensure that you get your preferred style, size and color. Watch for details in the parish and festival websites and the parish bulletin in late May.
Do you have talents in computer graphic artistry? The festival Publicity Team could use your help (1) in late May to transform the winning logo concept into the official festival logo, and/or (2) in mid-July to produce the posters and flyers for the
festival. The Publicity Team also needs volunteers to help at weekend Masses for the logo contest in April, the T-shirt presales in June and/or the T-shirt general sales in early September. If you're interested in helping in any of these areas please
contact the parish office or the Publicity Team Chair, Thomas Zang, at [email protected].
Mark your Calendars for Saturday, September 17, 2016
and let’s make this festival one of our best yet!
