SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT

February 28, 2021

A number of years ago I took my niece, Delaney Doris, with me grocery shopping. She was about four years old.

She always wanted to get in the cart when we went grocery shopping, not in the child seat in front, but in the cart. I think she wanted to check out everything I was buy- ing. I was walking up and down the aisles looking for the things that I wanted and she said: “Uncle Jimmy.” And I said:

“yes.” And I kept looking at the items on the shelves, and again she said: “Uncle Jimmy.” And I said: “yes.” And then again she said a little louder: “Uncle Jim- my.” And I said: “yes, I am listening to you.” And she said: “No, I want you to listen to me with your eyes.” And I knew what she wanted. She wanted my full attention. She did not want me to be only paying half attention to her; she wanted my full attention.

In the Gospel reading we hear an account of the Transfiguration. The Father said about Jesus: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” Now do you think that he had the full attention of Peter, James and John when he said this? I think this message was really important, and he made sure he had their full atten- tion before he said it. Look at how he set that up. Jesus took them up a high moun- tain apart by themselves. There were no distractions there. Jesus’ clothes became dazzling white. Then Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were convers-

ing with Jesus. Do you think he had their full attention? Do you think they were listening with their eyes? Then the Father said: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” Jesus is the Son of God. Listen to him. Our primary task as Christians is to listen to Jesus.

Listening is incredibly important. We need to start by listening to one another.

The first step in loving one another is to really listen to one another. I came across three “hearing aids” for listening. The first on the list is, listen with your eyes. Ap- proximately 80% of communication is non- verbal. Facial expressions and body lan- guage usually tell the real story. Look at people when you listen to them. Second- ly, listen with your heart. Tune in to the emotions behind the words. Finally, take time to listen to the people around you.

How often when we are with other people are we looking at our phone? I learned a new word today, “phubbing.” This is a combination of phone and snubbing,

“phubbing.” It is snubbing the people around you because you are attending to your phone. How often have you done that to other people? How often have people done this to you? Jesus some- times talks to us through other people.

We are sometimes the voice of Jesus in the world. I wonder how many times we missed the messages from Jesus be- cause we were just not listening.

Above all we have to listen to Jesus as the Father has commanded us. We need to listen in prayer. Listening to Je- sus is much like listening to people. First of all, we need to listen with our eyes. In prayer, that means closing your eyes.

You need to cut out all of the visual dis- tractions. Next you have to listen with your heart. Be aware of your emotions.

God may be raising up these emotions in you. Are you feeling spiritual consolation

or desolation? Are you being comforted or challenged? Do you feel a sense of calm or peace? Communicate to Jesus what you desire, and frequently this can be better done in feelings than in words. Listen for insights. You will not literally hear the voice of Jesus, but you may get insights during prayer. You know that it is an insight from God if it is something that you never would have come up with yourself. Sometimes you can feel God’s presence with you. Fi- nally, you have to give Jesus your undivided attention. You should pray in a quiet place.

No “phubbing” Jesus. You should probably leave your phone in another room when you pray. Studies have shown that when your phone is in close proximity to you, it is dis- tracting even if you are not actually looking at it. This may be hard at first, but once you have done it for a while, you will not be drawn to it. I have been seeing someone for spiritual direction for over a year. Re- cently his mother-in–law was visiting for a week and she has dementia. She could not be left alone. She needed a lot of attention, and he could not find any quiet time for prayer. He told me that his prayer was to- tally different. He was still praying, but he had constant distractions. He told me that he felt off balance every day that she was there. He had a hard time being quiet in prayer at first; but after he did it everyday for a period of time, he just felt off balance when he could not do it for a week. So lis- ten to the Father. “This is my beloved Son.

Listen to him.”

Love & Peace, Fr. Jim

READING I

EXODUS 20:117

In those days,

God delivered all these commandments:

“I, the Lord, am your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt,

that place of slavery. You shall not have other gods besides me.

You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below

or in the waters beneath the earth;

you shall not bow down before them or worship them. For I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishment for their fathers’ wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation;

but bestowing mercy down to the thousandth generation on the children of those who love me and keep my commandments.

You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.

For the Lord will not leave unpunished the one who takes his name in vain.

Remember to keep holy the sabbath day.

Six days you may labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is

the sabbath of the Lord, your God.

No work may be done then either by you, or your son or daughter,

or your male or female slave, or your beast,

or by the alien who lives with you.

In six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them;

but on the seventh day he rested.

That is why the Lord has blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.

Honor your father and your mother, that you may have a long life in the land which the Lord, your God, is giving you.

You shall not kill.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male or female slave,

nor his ox or ass,

nor anything else that belongs to him.”

The Word of the Lord

R: Thanks be to God

GOSPEL

JOHN 2:1325

Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money changers seated there.

He made a whip out of cords

and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and

spilled the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables,

and to those who sold doves he said,

“Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”

His disciples recalled the words of Scripture,

Zeal for your house will consume me.

At this the Jews answered

and said to him, “What sign can you show us for doing this?”

Jesus answered and said to them,

“Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews said,

“This temple has been under construction for forty-six years,

NICENE CREED

I believe in one God,

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages,

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made, 

consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

(All Bow)

and by the Holy Spirit 

was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he was crucified

under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures .

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand

of the Father,

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Lord, the giver of life,  who proceeds from  the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son

is adored and glorified,  who has spoken  through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic

and apostolic Church,

I confess one Baptism for the  forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to

the resurrection of the dead  and the life of the world to come.  Amen.

READING II

1 CORINTHIANS 1:2225

Brothers and sisters:

Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are called,

Jews and Greeks alike, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

The Word of the Lord

R: Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm

PSALM 19:8, 9, 10, 11 (John 6:68c)

Lord, you have the words of everlasting life.

and you will raise it up in three days?”

But he was speaking about the temple of his body.

Therefore, when he was raised

from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this,

and they came to believe the Scripture and the word Jesus had spoken.

While he was in Jerusalem for the feast of Passover,

many began to believe in his name when they saw the signs he was doing.

But Jesus would not trust himself to them because he knew them all,

and did not need anyone to testify about human nature.

He himself understood it well.

Saint Perpetua and Saint Felicity



March 7

^th

is the Feast Day of Saints Perpetua and Felicity, who were Christian martyrs from the early per- secution of the Church in Africa by the Emperor Severus. Perpetua, a 22 yearold, was an educated, high

spirited noblewoman who had decid- ed to follow her mother’s example and become a Christian, knowing that in doing so it could mean her death. Perpetua’s pagan father pleaded with her to change her mind, reminding her of her baby son who she was still nursing. Perpetua would not be swayed. Felicity was pregnant and, by some accounts, was either a slave or servant of Perpetua. Felicity prayed that she would be able to deliver her child so that she could be martyred with the others. She gave birth to a baby girl in the eighth month of her pregnancy. 

What is remarkable about their stories is their willingness to suffer and die for Christ, while entrusting their children to the care of oth- ers. While in prison, many tried to change the minds of the two wom- en, but they would not forsake their faith. Perpetua, Felicity and their companions converted the jailer to Christianity, as well as many of the coliseum spectators who witnessed the unusual noble and fearless deaths. 



Peace be with you my friends today and every day!

Please continue to be safe - we need all of you here at St. Edith!
