LITURGY & WORSHIP Intercessory Prayer If you are seeking Physical, Emotional, or Spiritual Healing from God for yourself or a family member the Intercessory Group is here for you. Simply email a brief prayer request to: jroman@stdidacus.org Your prayer request will be passed on to our Intercessory Team who pray for God’s healing grace in your life. Prayer requests are held in confidence and are known only to the prayer intercessors. Change Lent is all about change and change is usually not easy. In order to change we have to leave something behind. Today we hear about a very old man who decides to answer God’s call. Abram experiences a tremendous amount of change when he leaves everything behind, risking it all for God’s promise. Jesus changes, is transfigured, right before the eyes of his disciples. The Lenten scriptures issue the call for us to change, to be transfigured, so that we, too, will soon share in the glory of God. What is it that the Lord is asking us to leave behind? Are we willing to take the risk for the promise made by God? These questions are at the heart of the Lenten journey of conversion. Copyright © J. S.

LITURGIA, ADORACIÓN Y MAS Cambio Cuaresma es cambio y cambiar no es fácil. Para poder cambiar debemos dejar algo atrás. Hoy escuchamos acerca de un hombre muy viejo que decide responder al llamado de Dios. Abram atraviesa por una tremenda cantidad de cambios cuando todo lo deja y lo arriesga por la promesa de Dios. Jesús cambia, se transfigura, justo delante de los ojos de sus discípulos. Las escrituras en Cuaresma nos llaman a cambiar, a ser transfigurados, para que también nosotros pronto participemos en la gloria de Dios. ¿Qué nos pide Dios dejar atrás? ¿Estamos dispuestos a arriesgarlo todo por la promesa que Dios hace? Estas son las preguntas centrales en el camino de conversión de la Cuaresma. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Salvaguardar A Los Niños ¿SABÍA QUE? Platique sobre los peligros de las salas de chat con sus hijos adolescentes Las salas de chat en línea son muy buenos lugares para que se conecten personas que comparten los mismos intereses e ideas. Pero para los niños pequeños y para los adolescentes que no son expertos navegando el internet, los chats pueden ser muy buenos lugares para que los depredadores sienten las bases de sus acciones. En una sala de chat cualquiera puede adoptar una personalidad distinta a la verdadera, y los depredadores se hacen pasar por amigos. Platique con sus hijos sobre las reglas de seguridad en línea, como por ejemplo nunca ponerse de acuerdo para conocer a alguien en persona, y nunca proveer su información personal y su información de identificación. Revise los chats frecuentemente para asegurar que su hijo/a está participando en una conversación segura. Para más consejos sobre la seguridad en las salas de chat, solicite una copia del artículo de VIRTUS® “Exposing the Dangers of Internet Chat Rooms” (Exponiendo los peligros de las salas de chat por internet) en https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.

Talk about chat room dangers with your teen Online chat rooms are great places for people to connect over shared interests and ideas. But for young children and teenagers who may not be internet-savvy, they’re also a great place for predators to lay groundwork. In a chat room, anyone can be whomever they want — and predators hide behind personas of friends. Talk to your child about online safety rules, such as never agreeing to meet in person and never providing personal and identifying information. Review chats frequently to ensure that your child is engaging in safe conversations. For more tips on chat room safety, request a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Exposing the Dangers of Internet Chat Rooms” at https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/. March 8, 2020 Page 5
