I remember bringing bread to Hanauma Bay and se*ing the fish energeticaily swimminE to rne to be fed. I recall having a fish tank where the fish swam around and looked Hp and swam to the top in anticipation of being fed.

$imilar to how God feeds our hope and love of $alvation through Jesus, I have continued to grow thr*ugh {eeding off others in the Rite of Christian lnitiation f*r Adults (RCIA).

With the Rite of Election and presentation of a hundred new Catholics at the Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa, my own journey continues to be reinforeed as I saw how the Lord was working in their lives. cateehumens this past week with over

The l*ok on their faces as they shook h*nds with the Bishop and put their hand in the large pool of holy water and did the sign of the cross was precious. As Jesus continues to feed me through the weekly Eucharist, the Lord's Body and Blood, he also puts his hand in the tank showing rne it is Him who is feeding me through others with the nourishment and hope of our faith. ln this week's Gospel reading from St. Luke, Jesus explains to Peter, John and Jarnes that it is Jesus, the Chosen One, who manifests the transformation to come. ln the Znd reading, St. Paul in his letters to the early Christians of Philippi shares with us to "keep our eyes fixed on those who act accordingly to the example" and "hold firm in the Lord."

Similar to koi fish feeding time at the PaEoda Hotel, we actively swim to Jesus and are spiritually nourished throuEh our Catholic livinE.

GOOD NEWS!

5

The same three apostles who are present in

the Garden of Gethsemane are also at the transfiguration. On both occasions they fall asleep! But when they awake at the transfiguration, they see something totally different.

They see Jesus radiant and resplendent like they had never seen him before.

Reading

I

6crtfrrre

- Genesis 15:5-12, 17-18

This revelation of his glory is meant to strengthen their faith and prepare them for seeing Jesus later, sweating Righteousness described here is a right blood in the agony of the Garden. Experiencing the joy and relationship to God, and it was conferred by the divine sentence of approval in response beauty of Jesus is essential to persevering through the to Abraharn's tmst in God. Here Abraham, passions inevitable we will have to undergo. Faith is not all who had no law to fulfill, was nevertheless about suffering, but about joy, love, and intimacy with made righteous because of his inner attitude.

Christ. Yes, love sometimes means we must suffer, but the fruit is greater intimacy. A diamond is made under great Reading II - Philippians 3:174:.1 pressure and love must past through temptations.

All three synoptic Gospels unite the transfiguration with Peter's profession of faith. The reality of the passion and cross should not shake the apostle's faith, but they should realize that his exaltation can only be accomplished in the cross: "And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself' (John 12:32).

The sufferings we see in the world, in our own past and present, shouldn't shake our faith in Jesus, either.

Overcoming sin comes from embracing suffering.

Jesus is so radiant that he awakes the apostles from their slumber. May the consuming love with which we burn for Jesus transfigure us into beautiful lights that awaken this world from its slumber of faith as well.

-

Fr. htlark Haydu, LC

For Reflection: What area of your life or heart does Jesss want to transfigure into a brighter testimony for him? All light comes from energy consumed and transformed. How

Paul reminds them that through Christ they have part in a kingdom which is not of this rvorld, and as citizens of heaven they must hold firmly to their allegiance; no specious arguments must bring them from their faith in Christ.

Reading

III - Luke 9:28b-36

Jesus and his disciples have an experience of God on the mountain. Its meaning for the three disciples and for Jesus is different, but

the only actor in the event is God. On this mountain the subiect is death, and the lrightening presence of God reduces those present to silence. After the resurrectiorl, they will remember, understand and not feel heavy. In fact, they will go out and speak of the Good Nervs.

does that truth apply to your spiritual life?

l3eginning in the second century, Christians have traditionally given up eating meat as a sacrifice.

Meat was considered a luxury the Church asked the faithful to dr:

without during certain days and seasons. The Church isn't promoting

vegetarianism but is encouraging mindful sacrifice.

Today, we are still asked to make the small sacrifice on Fridays by giving up meat especially during Lent - to recall the incredible sacrifice of Christ giving his life on the Cross for our

salvation.

, With the recent canonization of Pope PauI VI, is the trend now for popes to canonize their last few predecessors?

f the 266 popes in history, more than eighty are saints, including the early martyrs and later luminaries like Leo the Great (440-461) and Gregory the Great (590-604). However, only a handful of this number have been canonized in the last thousand years: Celestine V (1294), who resigned after five months in office, was canonized in 1513; Pius V (1566-1572) was canonized in

In fact, Pius X was the last pope to be declared a saint until a wave of canonizations in recent years added other twentieth-century popes to that number: Iohn XXIII (1958-1965) and |ohn Paul II (i978-2005) were made saints duringthe same ceremony in April 2014, and Paul VI (1963-1978) was canonized in October 2018. Moreover, two popes from the last century are now declared Venerable: Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) and John Paul I (1978). These ioin at least a dozen other popes of earlier centuries who are at various stages in the canonization process.

Popes are not automatic candidates for sanctity. They, like the rest, must be investigated for doctrinal orthodoxy, heroic virtues, and miraculous intercession after death. In addition, Benedict XIV (1740-1758) specified that they should also be measured for their "zeal for the preservation and propagation of the Catholic faith, for the encouragement and restoration of ecclesiastical discipline, and the defense of the rights of the Apostolic See" (translated ftamDe Servorum Det).
