Lenten Praise and Healing Liturgy
 
It is interesting to note that the Preface for Lent (Lent I ) for the Eucharistic Prayer's on Sundays in Lent, is defined as "The Spiritual Meaning of Lent" and says this:
 
"Father all powerful-and ever-living God, we do well ALWAYS and EVERYWHERE to give you THANKS through Jesus Christ our Lord. Each year You give us this JOYFUL SEASON ..."
 
WOW! Lent a JOYFUL Season. YES! Come and express your joy as we celebrate the Pascal Mystery with mind and heart renewed, as we give THANKS and PRAISE to our loving God through Jesus Christ our Lord for forgiveness of our sins and for filling us with His Holy Spirit. 
 
Sunday March 7th Transfiguration Parish 5:30pm.

By the way why do we call it LENT? The answer...John 3:16   "God so loved the word that He LENT us His only Son.... :)     Yes, Jesus was only on Loan... from His Father......He came from Heaven and ascended back to Heaven.  However,  we now have Jesus' presence by the Holy Spirit and each time we CELEBRATE the Eucharistic Liturgy Jesus is really present:  in Us; the gathered worshipping assembly, in the Word; proclaimed, preached, prayed and sung,  and most excellently in Holy Communion; the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ,  the greatest Healing Sacrament.

So surrender your aches pains and burdens and let Jesus' real presence turn them into Lenten Joys of healing in body, mind, soul, and spirit.
