HISTORY OF SALVATION
The first reading today continues the history of salvation narrative that we hear throughout Lent this year. Todays story was among the best-loved in the Jewish tradition (surely Joseph told the story to young Jesus as he formed him in the ways of their faith); the early fathers of the Church were very fond of it as a means of explaining the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. The overall tone of the first reading, psalm, and second reading seems a little incongruous with the dazzling Gospel, until we remember that the Transfiguration was placed as the Gospel for this Sunday precisely to remind us of the glory that awaits those who live faithfully and obediently to the will of God. In the life of Jesus, it is a preview of the glory of his resurrection; for us it is a glimpse of the destiny of those who continue, as we heard in last weeks Gospel, to repent and believe in the Good News.

1. Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent. 2. Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of age is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. 3. On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one's needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted on these two days, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. 4. To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful. 5. Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian year. All of the faithful are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of voluntary selfdenial (in addition to following the Lenten regulations), serious prayer, and a performance of works of charity and mercy.
St. Peregrine prayer service Saturday March 10th at 11:00 a.m. in the church.

The Second Sunday of Lent is the Penitential Rite for those that are baptized and will be received into full communion with the Catholic Church. The meaning of this Rite is for the Lenten purification from sin, which God the Father will pour out His mercy. The candidates along with their sponsors will examine their conscience and prepare for private reconciliation later this Lent. Marie Schram, Indy Rivera, Reuben Logan, Sandra and Amy Schroeder will enter into full communion this Easter Vigil. Aidan and Azahel Gallegos and Robert Cerdas will enter full communion on June 3, 2012. As a community, please pray for these candidates as they near the end of their preparation period. May they be kept blameless, spirit, soul, and body, for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Christ the King Parish Presents A Morning of Other Pro-Life Issues Saturday, March 10, 2012 - 9:00 a.m. until Noon in the Parish Life Center
Enslaved in America: Human Traffickingis the most insidious and horrific crime of this age. Those caught in its web by force, fraud or coercion are put into commercial sex and/or forced labor for one reason - GREED. It generates $32 billion worldwide annually. Trafficking of humans is the second largest criminal industry in the world and is the fastest growing exceeded only by the drug trade. This crime has gone unnoticed in big cities and small towns. But, that is changing! Sister Jean M. Okroi, IBVM is an educator, spiritual director and a presenter on Human Trafficking. Her passion is to raise awareness of this evil in our midst. In the past eight years, she has presented this new slavery to various age groups, hospitals and school staff, along with the local neighborhood and church groups. She will open your eyes to what could be happening in your neighborhood or to what you would rather ignore. Pro-Life Means More Than You Think: Carol Wright will be speaking at Christ the King Parish, in Lombard, in the Parish Life Center. Carol will help explore how our traditional values and teachings of the Catholic Church are under attack. From the new regulations that will require us to pay for free birth control for everyone to the inevitable rationing of health care at the end of life. Human embryos are being destroyed in a futile effort to find cures that are already taking place with ethical adult stem cells. Become informed and involved. Carol Wright: Carol has been active in the pro-life movement for 40 years. She was president of Illinois Citizens for Life for five years, and currently is their Publicity Director. Carol also served on all levels of the Council of Catholic Women. She served twice on the Diocesan Board, and is currently serving on the Western DuPage Kendall Deanery Board (for the past 29 years). At the parish level, she is involved with the Council of Catholic Women, and is the Pro-life Coordinator at St. James the Apostle in Glen Ellyn.
