A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Holy Apostles Parish Family,
Lent is upon us this week! We have a
wonderful theme this Lent as we look at
how we SURRENDER ourselves to God and
let Him take care of us. We also are forming
the collage of crosses people have written
the past two weeks. This was inspired by
Fr. Tim’s homily after Christmas.
This year we are going to try something
different for the Stations of the Cross. We
will have them at 6:30 PM followed by a
speaker at 7:30 PM. Fr. Tim will speak the
first and third nights (February 17 and
March 2) on the topic “From Surrender to
Grace: The Temptation to the Empty Tomb.”
Dr. Scot Hodkiewcz will share his experience of changing his life after a traumatic
accident on February 24. Some may miss
the soup and salad but our interest in that
has waned quite a bit. Our hope is that the
speakers can help us reflect on our theme
and inspire us with their witness.
Have a Blessed Lent!
WE OFFER OUR PRAYERS FOR:
All the homeless, the unemployed, the military, the addicted, the
grieving, the imprisoned, and the physically and emotionally ill.

Regulations for Fast and Abstinence


FASTING is to be observed by all, 18
years of age and older, who have not yet
celebrated
their 59th
birthday. On a
fast day, one
full meal is
allowed. Two
other meals,
sufficient to
maintain
strength, may
be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another
full meal. Eating between meals is not
permitted, but liquids, including milk and
juices, are allowed.
ABSTINENCE is observed by all 14
years of age and older. On days of
abstinence no meat is allowed. Note
that when health or ability to work
would be seriously affected, the law
does not oblige. The practice of fasting,
almsgiving, and prayer are the three
traditional disciplines of Lent.
WE OFFER OUR PRAYERS FOR THE DECEASED:

Holy Apostles on Sunday, February 28. The retreat will

close at about 3 PM. John McGrath, Diocesan Director

SVdPS Provides Needed Food
Sufficient food to provide nourishing meals for ourselves
and our families is something many of us take for granted. However, this isn't always the case for our neighbors
with limited means. For those living on disability or Social Security income, regular utility and rent payments often
leave very little money left to
purchase food for the week.
These individuals and families
would go hungry if not for deliveries of food by Vincentians from
the St. Vincent de Pau; Society. Your prayerful support
and donations to the Poor Box make it possible for our
neighbors to provide meals to their families this winter.
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I
have loved you. John 15:12

the Stations, talks will be offered to help us focus on
surrendering to God’s mercy. On February 17 and
March 2, our own Fr. Tim Seigel will be speaking on
“From Surrender to Grace: The Temptation to the
Empty Tomb.” On February 24, Dr. Scot Hodkiewicz,
author of “Getting to Heaven by Going Through Hell”
will speak about his near death that changed his life
forever. Reading his book before the talk is recommended to get the full impact of his message. The
book is available on holyapostlesreligiousgoods.org
and they will also be available in the store.

¿Que es la Cuaresma?
Es el tiempo litúrgico de conversión, que marca la Iglesia
para prepararnos a la gran fiesta de la Pascua. Es tiempo
para arrepentirnos de nuestros pecados y de cambiar
algo de nosotros para ser mejores y poder vivir más cerca
de Cristo. La Cuaresma dura 40 días; comienza el Miércoles de Ceniza y termina antes de la Misa de la Cena del
Señor del Jueves Santo. A lo largo de este tiempo, sobre
todo en la liturgia del domingo, hacemos un esfuerzo por
recuperar el ritmo y estilo de verdaderos creyentes que
debemos vivir como hijos de Dios. El color litúrgico de
este tiempo es el morado que significa luto y penitencia.
Es un tiempo de reflexión, de penitencia, de conversión
espiritual; tiempo de preparación al misterio pascual. En
la Cuaresma, Cristo nos invita a cambiar de vida. La Iglesia nos invita a vivir la Cuaresma como un camino hacia
Jesucristo, escuchando la Palabra de Dios, orando, compartiendo con el prójimo y haciendo obras buenas. Nos
invita a vivir una serie de actitudes cristianas que nos
ayudan a parecernos más a Jesucristo, ya que por acción
de nuestro pecado, nos alejamos más de Dios.Por ello, la
Cuaresma es el tiempo del perdón y de la reconciliación
fraterna. Cada día, durante toda la vida, hemos de arrojar
de nuestros corazones el odio, el rencor, la envidia, los
celos que se oponen a nuestro amor a Dios y a los hermanos.
En Cuaresma, aprendemos a conocer y apreciar la Cruz
de Jesús. Con esto aprendemos también a tomar nuestra
cruz con alegría para alcanzar la gloria de la resurrección.
