The Clergy Corner as taken from the 3/23/25 bulletin:The Stations of the Cross are one of the most popular devotional items during the Season of Lent. Traditionally held on Fridays, they follow the path, meditating and praying on the way that Jesus walked on Good Friday, from being condemned to death by Pilate, up to his being laid in the tomb. There are several different approved forms of the Stations, each one carrying a special meaning or significance of how Our Lord’s Way of the Cross is portrayed. If you’ve never been to the Stations of the Cross before, or maybe it’s been a while, try to take the time to go during the Season of Lent to enrich your understanding of Christ’s passion and death. That Stations can also be prayed at home and even are a popular devotion that is prayed every Friday throughout the year, and not just during Lent. St. Pope John Paul II had a great devotion to them and prayed them year-round. The Stabat Mater can be sung from Station to Station, as a reminder of how much Our Lady suffered when Our Lord was nailed to the Cross. A plenary indulgence is also attached to the Stations of the Cross, so if we pray them and go to Confession, receive the Eucharist in a state of grace, pray for the pope, and are detached from sin, all temporal punishment for sin is washed away. Whatever popular devotion we choose, as we near the halfway point of Lent already, let us continue to focus on prayer, fasting and almsgiving during the season in preparation for Easter, and for the repentance of our sins.

*Clergy Corner from last week did not post!*The Clergy Corner as taken from the 3/16/25 bulletin:In this week’s Gospel the transfiguration of Jesus offers a glimpse into his divine glory, revealing his identity as the Son of God to Peter, James, and John as a powerful affirmation of his mission and the hope of our ultimate transformation in him. Jesus climbs a mountain to pray, signifying the importance of solitude and deep communion with God. This moment of prayer becomes the catalyst for the manifestation of his divine nature.Jesus’ appearance is transformed, his face shining with heavenly light, reminiscent of Moses face after encountering God on Mount Sinai. This visual representation signifies the divine presence within Jesus. The appearance of the Old Testament prophets, Moses, and Elijah the prophets, further confirms Jesus as the fulfillment of the Scriptures. Their conversation highlights the continuity between the old and new covenants. The voice from heaven declaring “This is my son” reinforces Jesus’ divinity, offering a moment of profound revelation for the disciples. The Transfiguration foreshadows the glory of the resurrected Christ, which is present in the Eucharist, allowing us to partake in his divine life. Despite the glimpse of his heavenly glory, Jesus’ imminent suffering and death are foreshadowed, reminding us to remain steadfast in our faith even during challenging times. Personal reflection questions: - How does this passage inspire us to deepen our relationship with God through prayer and contemplation? - How can we incorporate the message of Christ’s divine glory into our daily lives? - What are some of the challenges in our lives where we need to rely on the strength of Christ’s transfiguration to persevere? Jesus’ divine glory is revealed in the Transfiguration through faith. We are called to carry this light of Christ into the world through our words and actions in every aspect of our lives.Peace,Deacon Rich#setonabsecon #setonabseconcorner #clergycorner #southjerseycatholics #dioceseofcamden #camdendiocese ...
