BONAVENTURE HIGH SCHOOL: 3167 Telegraph Road Mr. Marc Groff, Principal. School Office: (805) 648-6836 Weekly Reflection Reflexión Semanal Opening our hearts Abramos Nuestros Corazones Today’s readings and prayers remind us that God has called each of us to discipleship. An example occurs in the Old Testament, when Isaiah shares a vision where he saw God seated on a throne, attended by mighty seraphim. Isaiah becomes afraid when his house fills with smoke because he knows that he is unworthy. After a seraph touches his mouth with an ember he agrees to answer God’s call saying, “Here I am. Send me.” Saint Paul reminds the Corinthians of his turbulent road to discipleship saying, he is “not fit to be called an apostle because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been ineffective.” Peter’s proclamation of faith in the gospel occurs after the miraculous fishing event. He is wonder-filled, on his knees, pleading for Jesus to leave him because he is a sinful man. Jesus calms Peter saying, “Do not be afraid, from now on you will be catching men.” All of these episodes are dramatic recordings of God’s interaction in three lives. We too are called, sometimes in a dramatic way, but more often than not, in a more subtle way, to be God’s presence in the world. So we must be able to hear God’s call. This coming Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. This is the time of year when we quiet our lives and seek to open our hearts to God. It is the perfect opportunity to actively seek the Lord through an increase in prayer, meditation, fasting, Reconciliation, attending Mass, and volunteering to help others. God asks us to be his hands and feet in our world today. Lent provides us a time of renewal when we can truly hear his call and answer, “Yes, Lord.” Las lecturas y rezos de hoy nos recuerdan que Dios ha llamado a cada uno de nosotros al discipulado. Un ejemplo ocurre en el Antiguo Testamento, cuando Isaías comparte una visión en la cual mira a Dios sentado sobre su trono, atendido por serafines. A Isaías le da temor cuando el templo se llena de humo porque él sabe que no es digno. Después de que el serafín toca su boca con el ascua, Isaías se decide y responde al llamado de Dios diciendo, “Aquí estoy, mándeme.” San Pablo le recuerda a los Corintios de su camino turbulento en el discipulado, diciendo, “No soy digno de llamarme apóstol, porque he perseguido a la iglesia de Dios. Pero por la gracia de Dios soy lo que soy, y su gracia no se ha frustrado en mí.” La proclamación de fe de Pedro en su Evangelio ocurre después del milagroso evento de la pesca. Arrodillado, él está lleno de asombro pidiéndole a Jesús que lo abandone porque es un hombre pecador. Jesús calma a Pedro diciéndole, “No temas; desde ahora serás pescador de hombres.” Todos estos capítulos son recuentos dramáticos de la intercesión de Dios en tres vidas. Nosotros también somos llamados, en veces de formas dramáticas para ser la presencia de Dios en el mundo. Tenemos que estar listos para escuchar su llamado. Este próximo miércoles marca el comienzo de la Cuaresma. Este es el tiempo del año cuando callamos nuestras vidas y buscamos abrir nuestros corazones a Dios. Es la oportunidad perfecta para buscar al Señor activamente a través del incremento de rezos, meditación, vigilia, Reconciliación, asistiendo a misa, y siendo voluntarios para ayudar a otros. Dios nos pide ser sus manos y pies en nuestro mundo de hoy. La Cuaresma nos provee un tiempo de renovación donde verdaderamente podemos escuchar el llamado de Dios y contestar, “Sí Señor.” Our Lady of the Assumption Mission Statement We, as faithful followers of Jesus Christ, create, nurture, and maintain a community of love through worship, reconciliation, healing, formation, education and service.

Ayude a los niños con retos ofreciendo apoyo en lugar de soluciones Ya sea un niño o niña pequeño que se porte malcriado con un hermano o un adolescente egoísta y que rehúse ver la imagen completa de su actuación, puede ser tentador tratar de resolver los desafíos de ellos. Bajo muchas circunstancias, la actitud de tratar de cambiar a alguien es casi siempre contraproducente. En lugar de ofrecer una solución a un niño o niña enfrentando un dilema, haga lo que pueda para escucharlo(la), hacer preguntas, animarlo(a), mostrar empatía y rezar.
