You can find our Ash Wednesday schedule in the bulletin. Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation. It is, however, a much-loved tradition to attend Mass, or at least, to receive ashes to start this penitential season. Lent is a penitential season. It is divided into two parts. The first part runs until the fifth Sunday of Lent, traditionally called Passion Sunday. The first four weeks emphasize the necessity of ongoing conversion in the Christian life. To this end, this season proposes three means by which we can grow in holiness through expressions of love of God (prayer), self (fasting and abstinence) and neighbor (almsgiving). Prayer – Every Friday we will remember the Passion of Lord through the devotion of the Stations of the Cross. In addition, the pamphlet, The Busy Family’s Guide to Lent, is available for you to take home and infuse your household with the spirit of Lent. Finally, each of us should renew our commitment to daily, personal prayer, or more frequent attendance at Mass during the week. However much we are now praying, we should increase the amount of time and frequency of prayer. God will not fail to reward our generosity. Fasting & Abstinence – we must properly distinguish between these two, related practices. (1) The law of fasting requires a Catholic from the 18th birthday (Canon 97) to the 59th birthday (i.e. the beginning of the 60th year, a year which will be completed on the 60th birthday) to reduce the amount of food eaten from normal. The Church defines this as one meal a day, and two smaller meals which if added together would not exceed the main meal in quantity. Such fasting is obligatory on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. The fast is broken by eating between meals and by drinks, which could be considered food (milk shakes, but not milk). Alcoholic beverages do not break the fast; however, they seem to be contrary to the spirit of doing penance. To be continued next week... God bless you, Father Elias Cari amici in Cristo, Quaresima inizia Mercoledì, 22 Febbraio. Potete trovare nel bollettino il programma per i servizi del Mercoledì delle Ceneri. Mercoledì delle Ceneri non è un giorno di precetto. Si tratta, tuttavia, di una tradizione molto amata a partecipando alla Messa, o almeno, ricevere le ceneri per iniziare questo periodo di penitenza. La Quaresima è un tempo penitenza. Essa è divisa in due parti. La prima parte va fino alla quinta Domenica di Quaresima, tradizionalmente chiamata "la Domenica di Passione". Le prime quattro settimane sottolineano la necessità di conversione continua alla vita cristiana. A tal fine, questa stagione propone tre mezzi con i quali siamo in grado di crescere nella santità attraverso le espressioni d'amore di Dio (preghiera), di se stesso (digiuno e astinenza) e del prossimo (l'elemosina). La preghiera - Ogni Venerdì, ricordiamo la Passione del Signore attraverso la devozione della Via Crucis. Inoltre, l'opuscolo, The Busy Family’s Guide to Lent, è a vostra disposizione per portare a casa e infondere la tua famiglia con lo spirito della Quaresima. Infine, ognuno di noi dovrebbe rinnovare il nostro impegno quotidiano per la preghiera personale o per la Messa feriale. Per quanto si prega, si dovrebbe aumentare la quantità di tempo e frequenza di preghiera. Dio non mancherà di premiare la nostra generosità. Il digiuno e astinenza - dobbiamo distinguere correttamente tra queste due, le pratiche correlate. (1) La legge del digiuno richiede un cattolico dal compimento dei 18 anni (Canon 97) al Compleanno 59 (vale a dire l'inizio del 60 ° anno, un anno che sarà completato il 60 ° compleanno) per ridurre la quantità di cibo mangiato normale. La Chiesa definisce questo come un pasto al giorno, e due pasti più piccoli che, se sommate non supererebbe il pasto principale in quantità. Tale è obbligatorio il digiuno il Mercoledì delle Ceneri e il Venerdì Santo. Il digiuno è rotto dal mangiare tra un pasto e le bevande che possono essere considerati alimenti (frullati, ma non latte). Le bevande alcoliche non rompono il digiuno, tuttavia, sembrano essere in contrasto con lo spirito di fare penitenza Continua la settimana prossima… Dio Vi Benedica, Padre Elias CHURCH OF ST.

BULLETIN REFLECTION Forgiveness, too, is a gift from God. Freed from the paralysis of sin, the man in today’s Gospel was able to stand and give witness to the power of God. How do I let sin cripple me? Am I a good steward of the gift of God’s forgiveness? In the Parish Hall Once again volunteers are needed to help make this feast a success. One of the themes of this year’s Feast will be recognizing our Parishes 75 year anniversary.
