Second Sunday of Lent

Here are the readings for February 28, 2010, the First Sunday of Lent:

Genesis 15: 5-12, 17-18
Psalm 27: 1, 7-9, 13-14 
Philippians 3:17- 4:1
Luke 9: 28-36

Consider the apostles on the mountain, waking up to the sight of Jesus, Moses and Elijah!

• Have you ever 'woken up' to discover an overwhelming truth? What was your reaction?
• If Moses represents the tradition of the Law, and Elijah represents the tradition of the Prophets, what does it mean for them to be conversing with Jesus?

We will have the normal dismissal this Sunday from the 9:30am mass, and finish our session when the mass is over. Please take a break, get some lunch, change into comfortable clothes... Elect, candidates, sponsors and participating team should then return to the small chapel at 12:30pm for the beginning of our retreat.
