The mission of every Christian is to ignite little lights in people’s hearts;
 being little lamps of the Gospel that bear a bit of love and hope.”
 (Pope Francis, Angelus Message, February 2021)     
                                                                 
                                                             Message from the Pastor
Welcome to all our visitors and guests who are on Spring Break – thanks for being here. I’m sure if you’ve come home and 
are reconnecting with family and friends – they are thrilled to reconnect as are all of us, your extended spiritual family as well. 
This Sunday, Jesus is welcoming part of his spiritual family too. Moses and Elijah, who represent the tradition of the Jewish people are reconnected with Jesus, God’s Son, and they take us out of time even as they recall God’s history of being with his people. 
For the disciples, the way to the future is anchored to the past. But as Jesus enters in, there is a completely new way of going forward. As bewildered as they are seeing Moses and Elijah, it is nothing compared to Jesus being transfigured and God attesting to his identity. What throws them to the ground in fear is the encounter with the divine unveiled. 
In other words, this is the disciples first encounter with the resurrected. And for us as disciples of Christ in the 21st century, this is our legacy. The only way to transform our world is entering fully into Christ’s resurrection. When we hold on to that, everything changes. Have a blessed week of Lenten exploration.  ~ Fr. Brad

"Divine love is infinitely active, and, when it has entered the human heart and has set it on fire, it pushes one to outward perfection and visible justice.” ((1886, The Church and the Age, p. 162; PV, p. 250)
