LENTEN REGULATIONS The season of Lent begins February 10, 2016 with Ash Wednesday Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of universal fast and abstinence. Fasting is obligatory for all who have completed their 18th year until the beginning of their 60th year. Fasting allows a person to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may be taken, not to equal one full meal. Abstinence (from meat) is obligatory for all who have completed their 14th year of age (c. 1252). If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the “paschal fast” to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus and to prepare to share more fully and celebrate more readily his Resurrection (see Sacrosanctum Concilium, 109). Fridays in Lent are obligatory days of abstinence (from meat) for all who have completed their 14th year. As always, anyone for whom fasting or abstinence would pose a health risk is excused.

Since 1884, proceeds from BIM Collection are distributed as grants to dioceses supporting and strengthening evangelization programs, which would otherwise be in danger of disappearing among the Black, American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleute communities of the United States. If you do not have envelopes and would like to contribute to this collection, you can make a check or put cash in an envelope and write “For the Black and Indian Missions” on the outside or the check’s memo line. Please place your envelope in the collection basket, together with the regular weekly offering. The Adoration Chapel is located next to the school kitchen’s back entrance. La Capilla está al lado de la entrada a la cocina en la parte lateral de la escuela. The Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Ministry would like to thank all adorers, permanent or substitutes, for their commitment to spending an hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament. We will ask you to pray for Father Joseph Norys, son of one of our parishioners, and for his parish and Perpetual Adoration chapel back in Austria. They recently began Perpetual Adoration in their church and have about 30 people per hour doing adoration everyday. This should be a challenge for us! The Adoration Chapel has been in our parish for more than 22 years. Currently we have approximately 100 faithful adorers who cover 168 hours a week. Please consider challenging yourself in this Year of Mercy and register to cover an hour as an extra sacrifice during Lent. You can choose any hour or day of the week, not only the hours that are opened. A sign-up sheet and more information about our chapel will be available on the semi-round table in the Gathering Area. CHILDREN’S CLASSES ON ASH WEDNESDAY Children’s Faith Formation will go to class at the regular time at 6:30 PM. The children will then proceed to the church with their class to attend Ash Wednesday Mass. Parents are encouraged to stay with their child and attend Mass with them.

Year of Mercy / Año de La Misericordia The season of Lent during this Jubilee Year should also be lived more intensely as a privileged moment to celebrate and experience God’s mercy. How many pages of Sacred Scripture are appropriate for meditation during the weeks of Lent to help us rediscover the merciful face of the Father! We can repeat the words of the prophet Micah and make them our own: “You, O Lord, are a God who takes away iniquity and pardons sin, who does not hold your anger forever, but are pleased to show mercy. You, Lord, will return to us and have pity on your people. You will trample down our sins and toss them into the depths of the sea.” (Mic. 7:18-19) El tiempo de Cuaresma durante este Año Jubilar debe vivirse también más intensamente como un momento privilegiado para celebrar y sentir la misericordia de Dios. ¡Cuántas páginas de la Sagrada Escritura son apropiadas para meditar durante las semanas de Cuaresma y que nos ayudan a redescubrir el rostro misericordioso del Padre! Podemos repetir las palabras del profeta Miqueas y hacerlas nuestras: “¿Qué Dios hay como tú, que perdona la iniquidad y pasa por alto la rebeldía del remanente de su heredad. No persistirá en su ira para siempre, porque se complace en la misericordia. Volverá a compadecerse de nosotros, hollará nuestras iniquidades. Sí, arrojarás a las profundidades del mar todos nuestros pecados”. (Miq. 7:18-19) FEBRUARY’S CHALLENGE: DESAFÍO PARA EL MES DE FEBRERO: FEED THE HUNGRY DAR DE COMER AL HAMBRIENTO Theme for this Sunday: Stretching our Limits Tema para este Domingo: Estirando nuestros Límites Simon Peter fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, "Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man." Then Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people." (Lk. 5:8,10b) Al ver esto, Simón Pedro cayó de rodillas delante de Jesús y le dijo: “¡Apártate de mí, Señor; soy un pecador!” “No temas; desde ahora serás pescador de hombres —le dijo Jesús a Simón. (Luc. 5:8,10b) Adult: When have you felt God’s merciful forgiveness? Did it strengthen you? Youth: When are you afraid or feel inadequate to help others? How has faith in God strengthened you? Adulto: ¿Cuándo has sentido el perdón misericordioso de Dios? ¿Te dio fortaleza esta experiencia? Jóven: ¿Cuándo tienes miedo o te sientes inadecuado para ayudar a los demás? ¿Cómo la fe en Dios te ha fortalecido?
