“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I
send? Who will go for us?’ ‘Here I am,’
I said, ‘send me!’” (ISAIAH 6:8)
Every day – in little ways and in big ways – God asks,
“Whom shall I send?” Whether it is someone to take on a
new ministry or just someone to open a door for a stranger,
God constantly provides doors of opportunity. The next
time you hear God calling, have the courage to walk
through the door and say “Here I am, Lord.”

A letter from our Pastor
My Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
On Ash Wednesday hundreds of parishioners stopped by our church to receive on their foreheads the sign of the cross made
of ashes. Here at Our Lady of Mount Virgin Church, as in most churches, many parishioners who don’t attend church on any other
days during the year seem compelled to come forward to receive and wear the ashes as a sign of faithfulness to the Lord.
As the ashes are applied on a person’s forehead, the words “Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel” are prayed.
What a powerful invitation we receive as the ashes are applied. We are asked to humbly look into our hearts and souls, to
recognize our areas of sin, and then to be faithful to God as we turn from our sins.
Over the centuries we have, as a faith community become comfortable with many signs and symbols which help us to
experience and live our relationship with the Lord in powerful ways. The poured water at baptism, the anointing with chrism at
confirmation, the genuflection before the Blessed Sacrament, the Sign of the Cross, the Miraculous Medal, the palm branches and so
many others are symbols that help us to live our faith more fully as we consider the intimacy with Jesus that the signs and symbols
suggest.
In a powerful way, the wearing of ashes on our foreheads reminds us that Jesus suffered and died for a the redemption of
our sins; and that we need to confront our shortcomings as we seek to “return to the Lord.”
Today’s Gospel verse suggests “Repentance.” “Repent, says the Lord. The Kingdom of God is at hand.” Isn’t this a
forceful reminder that our Lenten experience which began recently on Ash Wednesday is far from over, and that we still have much
to do as we turn from sin and once again focus on the Gospel of Jesus.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells the parable about the fig tree that has yet to bear fruit. The owner wants to cut it down
because it is not producing, only using precious nutrients. The gardener begs that he be given time to nurture the fig tree as he is
hopeful that he can get it to produce.
Isn’t Jesus like that gardener who is not ready to give up on any of us---even though so often we neglect to “Make our
return to the Lord for all he has given us!” Now is the time for us to “Repent.” Now is the time for us to “be faithful to the Gospel.”
We proudly wore the ashes on the outside of our bodies. Now is the time to make those necessary changes within!!!
May the ashes of Ash Wednesday become for us more than just and outward sign. Let us, each of us, as we continue our Lenten
experience, truly “Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel.”
In peace and prayer,
Father Pat

DIOCESE OF METUCEN
Lenten Instructions – 2016
Lent allows each of us to let our Catholic tradition of fasting
and abstaining be an important reminder of what it means to
suffer or to be without. This liturgical season is a blessed
opportunity for us to unite with our brothers and sisters who
are hungry, poor, homeless, or living on the fringes of
society and to draw near to all those who suffer from illness,
affliction, addiction or other serious burden. The following
is a reminder of the Lenten instructions to use as a guide as
we unite with those who suffer, near and far.
So that the Church of Metuchen may be spiritually one in a
common observance of Lent, the following days of fast and
abstinence are to be observed by all Catholics of the
Diocese who enjoy the blessings of good health:
1. The days of fast and abstinence are Ash Wednesday and
Good Friday.
2. All other Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence.
3. From the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy
Thursday until the celebration of the Easter Vigil on the
evening of Holy Saturday, the Easter fast is suggested so
that, with uplifted and welcoming hearts, we may be ready
to celebrate the joys of the Resurrection. This ancient
tradition, intimately connected with the Rites of Holy W eek
and the Order of Christian Initiation of A dults, is
encouraged, especially in those places baptizing
catechumens at the Easter Vigil.
The obligation to fast applies only to Catholics between the
ages of 18 and 59. To fast in the Catholic tradition means to
limit oneself to one full meal during the day so as to
experience hunger.
The obligation of abstinence affects all Catholics who have
reached the age of 14. Abstinence in the Catholic tradition
means to abstain from meat.
The obligation of fast and abstinence, as a whole, is a
serious obligation. While failure to observe any penitential
day in itself may not be considered serious, the failure to
observe any penitential days at all, or a substantial number
of them without good cause, would be considered a grave
matter. Those unable to abstain for a valid reason on any
given Friday of Lent are asked to perform some other
penitential act, or to abstain on another day.
My faithful brothers and sisters, in our fasting and
abstaining this Lent, I pray that we each may choose to
embrace this small suffering rather than accept it with
misery or complaint. For, if we are joyful in our Lenten
observances, we will be granted an opportunity to more
fully understand the true sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for
all humanity by accepting death on the cross in order to gain
our eternal salvation.
+Most Rev. Paul G. Bootkoski
Bishop of Metuchen
Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy
In Misericordiae V ultus, the Bull of Indiction
(or Proclamation) of the Extraordinary Jubilee
of Mercy (#17), Pope Francis speaks of the
season of Lent in the paragraph below:
“The pages of the prophet Isaiah can also be meditated
upon concretely during this season of prayer, fasting, and
works of charity: “Is not this the fast that I choose: to
loosen the bonds of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the
yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the
homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to
cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your
healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall
go before you, the glory of the Lord shall be your rear
guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you
shall cry, and he will say, here I am. If you take away from
the midst of you the yoke, the pointing of the finger, and
speaking wickedness, if you pour yourself out for the
hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall
your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the
noonday. And the Lord will guide you continually, and
satisfy your desire with good things, and make your bones
strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a
spring of water, whose waters fail not” (58:6-11).”
May we use this Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy to shape
our lives to be “Merciful like the Father.”

AŇO DE LA MISERICORDIA
JUBILEO DE LA MISERICORDIA
En Misericordiae V ultus, la Proclamacion de
el Extraordinario Jubileo de la Misericordia
(#17), el Papa Francisco habla de la
temporada de la Cuaresma en el parrafo abajo:
Las páginas del profeta Isaías podrán ser meditadas con
mayor atención en este tiempo de oración, ayuno y caridad:
« Este es el ayuno que yo deseo: soltar las cadenas injustas,
desatar los lazos del yugo, dejar en libertad a los oprimidos
y romper todos los yugos; compartir tu pan con el
hambriento y albergar a los pobres sin techo; cubrir al que
veas desnudo y no abandonar a tus semejantes. Entonces
despuntará tu luz como la aurora y tu herida se curará
rápidamente; delante de ti avanzará tu justicia y detrás de ti
irá la gloria del Señor. Entonces llamarás, y el Señor
responderá; pedirás auxilio, y él dirá: « ¡Aquí estoy! ». Si
eliminas de ti todos los yugos, el gesto amenazador y la
palabra maligna; si partes tu pan con el hambriento y sacias
al afligido de corazón, tu luz se alzará en las tinieblas y tu
oscuridad será como al mediodía. El Señor te guiará
incesantemente, te saciará en los ardores del desierto y
llenará tus huesos de vigor; tú serás como un jardín bien
regado, como una vertiente de agua, cuyas aguas nunca se
agotan » (58,6-11).
Usemos este Jubileo de la Misericordia para ser
“Misericordiosos como el Padre.”
