FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT February 14, 2016 Putting God to the Test I always thought of the temptations in the desert as part of Jesus' growth in "wisdom, age, and grace" (Luke 2:52). They show how Jesus was tempted to be a Messiah in a way that matched human expectations--those of Jews waiting for a messiah--instead of doing what His Father wanted. So He could have provided for all our needs (turn stones into bread,) brought peace to the world as a great leader (worship the devil,) or been a superhero (jump off the temple without harm). But I also wonder if these temptations are what we expect of God. Do we expect God to provide for our needs by turning stones into "bread" (i.e., money)? When we ask God to help us by doing everything for us, we are tempting the Lord. God does help us with our troubles, but usually by giving us the strength to get through them with our God-given abilities. This might mean finding a better job that uses more of our talents. It might be forgiving us, if we are the cause of our own troubles, and giving us the courage to start over. It might be a friend who helps us find the right doctor for a medical problem. Or do we expect God to bring peace to the world by instantly removing all nuclear weapons or capturing all terrorists? When we pray for peace, we could pray that God show us what we can do to bring about that peace. We could follow Jesus' command to love those around us, so that peace spreads from our actions. We could be generous in giving to the poor, especially where poverty is the cause of war. Maybe we expect God to be a superhero for us, curing diseases, stopping hurricanes or earthquakes, and strengthening our faith with spectacular miracles. Jesus would tell us the same thing He told the devil: "Don't put the Lord your God to the test" (see Luke 4:12). Instead, as we take time to pray over the scriptures, read spiritual books, and share our faith with others, we will find our faith growing and know that the Lord has been with us all along the way.

For Baptism, at least two months and for Marriage, at least six months notice is required. Thank you! Please call Parish Office.

Since a Mass Stipend is truly an offering, the amount is entirely up to the individual scheduling the intention. The only insight we can offer is that the average stipend is approximately $10.00 per scheduled Mass. The offering is truly up to you. Consideration: A Mass stipend is not required, rather it is a customary offering to the Priest. The spiritual value is in the Mass itself. The inability to offer a stipend should never deter someone from scheduling a Mass. 2 THE WEEK AHEAD Saturday, February 13 2:30pm Spanish Literacy Ministry - SEYH 3:00pm Baptisms - C 4:00pm Reconciliation - RR 5:30pm Mass/Elaine Manfred †- C 5:30pm Grupo de Oración Carismática (Servidores)- SEYH 7:00pm Grupo de Oración Carismática - C, SH Sunday, February 14 8:30am Mass/Evan W enczel †- C 9:45am RCIA - P 9:45am Faith Formation– ACS 9:45am Peace & Justice - Rm.2 10:00am Choir Rehearsal - Rm.1 11:00am Bilingual Mass– Misa Bilingüe/Mary Dennigan † - C 3:00pm ESL– Rm. 2 Monday, February 15– Presidents’ Day 8:00am Mass/Joseph Dever †- ASC 9:00am Parents’ Morning Out– N 10:00am Crafty Ladies - Rm.2 3:30pm SSL - Rm.2,P 5:00pm SSL - Rm.2 6:00pm Society of St. Vincent de Paul - P 6:00pm SSL - Rm.2 6:30pm Protegiendo Los Niños de Dios - SH 7:00pm St. Eugene Rosary - ASC Tuesday, February 16 8:00am Mass/George Adamson † - ASC 9:00am Parents’ Morning Out– N 11:00am ESL– Rm.2 3:00pm Mary Matters CDC - SH 7:00pm KOC– SH Wednesday, February 17 8:00am Mass/Irene Hawtak † - ASC 8:30am Recitation of the Rosary - C 9:00am Parents’ Morning Out– N 6:00pm SSL - Rm.2,P 6:00pm Conoce Tus Derechos/ Hispanic Ministry Meeting – SH 7:00pm Choir - Rm.1 7:00pm Coro en Español - C 7:00pm Catecismo de Adultos en Español– SEYH Thursday, February 18 8:00am Communion Service– ASC 8:30am Faith Sharing– P 9:00am Parents’ Morning Out– N 10:00am Bible Study Group– SEYH 7:00pm Cursillos de Hombres– SEYH Friday, February 19 8:30am Rosary– CC 9:00am Parents’ Morning Out-N 9:00am Mass/People of St. Eugene- C 11:00am ESL– Rm.2 12:15pm Stations of the Cross - C 6:00pm Enriquecimiento Matrimonial - SEYH 6:00pm Cursillos de Mujeres– P Saturday, February 20 10:00am Confirmation Retreat - C, SH, K 2:30pm Spanish Literacy Ministry - SEYH 4:00pm Reconciliation - RR 5:30pm Mass/St. Eugene V olunteers - C 5:30pm Grupo de Oración Carismática (Servidores)- SEYH 7:00pm Grupo de Oración Carismática - C, SH ACS-Asheville Catholic School ASC-All Saints Chapel C-Church CC-Children’s Chapel CR-Conference Room GP-Gathering Plaza GS-Gathering Space K-Kitchen SEY-St. Eugene Youth SEYH-St. Eugene Youth House N-Nursery P-Parlor RR-Reconciliation Room SH-Social Hall February 14, 2016 Saint Eugene Catholic Church Dear Parishioners, Happy Lent! As I write this, I feel dejected and little bit like Lent began last night when it became clear the Broncos were going to be an extremely tough matchup for our Panthers! I guess that’s how it goes - because I’m sure the folks in Denver are celebrating like it’s the Easter season!! In any event, this is a blessed time of year and we have a lot of great opportunities to grow this Lent. Monday evenings are going to be our focus this year. We have guest speakers discussing spirituality. Sister Peggy, a Sister of Mercy, begins the series on Monday, Feb 22. Then we have Fr. Robert, a Franciscan, on Monday, Feb. 29. Then, I will be presenting on “Diocesan Priest Spirituality” on Monday, March 7th. I’ve had so many people ask about my trip to the missions in India, so I have a feeling that my presentation may morph into/include a slideshow presentation of the trip. The format for these three nights will be a soup supper at 6:00pm in the social hall followed by the talk at 7:00pm in the Church. Lastly, there will be a Lenten Penance Service on Monday, March 14th at 7:00pm. As mentioned, if it’s a Monday in Lent, there’s a high probability there’s something being offered for you to grow spiritually here at St. Eugene. In Christ, Father Pat LENTEN REGULATIONS ●Abstinence from meat is observed on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all the Fridays of Lent by all Catholics 14 years of age and older. ●Fasting is observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59 years of age. Those bound by this rule may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted as necessary to maintain strength according to one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted. ●The special Paschal fast and abstinence are observed on Good Friday and, where possible, on Holy Saturday. On these days, Christians prepare themselves by 3 Estimados Feligreses, Feliz Cuaresma! Mientras escribo esto, me siento abatido y me siento como si la Cuaresma comenzó anoche, cuando se hizo evidente que los Broncos iban a ser un equipo muy difícil para nuestras Panteras! Supongo que así son las cosas - porque estoy seguro de que la gente en Denver está celebrando como si fuera la temporada de Pascua !! En cualquier caso, La Cuaresma es un tiempo del año muy bendito y tendremos muchos eventos y oportunidades para crecer en esta Cuaresma. Lunes por la noche será nuestro enfoque este año. Tendremos presentadores invitados que hablaran sobre la espiritualidad. Hermana Peggy, una hermana de la caridad, iniciara con la series el lunes 22 de febrero. Después tendremos a el Padre Roberto, un Franciscano, el lunes 29 de febrero. Por ultimo, yo hablare sobre "La Espiritualidad de Un Padre Diocesano" el lunes 7 de marzo. Mucha gente me a preguntado acerca de mi viaje a las misiones en la India, así que tengo la sensación de que mi presentación se transformara en o incluyen una presentación de mi viaje. El formato de estas tres noches será una cena de sopa a las 6:00 pm en el salón social y seguida la charla a las 7:00 pm en el Santuario. Por último, habrá un servicio de Penitencia Cuaresmal el lunes 14 de Marzo a las 7:00 pm. Como se ha mencionado, si se trata de un lunes de Cuaresma, hay una alta probabilidad de que hay algo para el desarrollo Espiritual aquí, en San Eugenio. En Cristo Jesus, Padre Pat these disciplines in anticipation of the renewal of their baptismal commitment on Easter. From its earliest days, the Church has urged the baptized and the catechumens to observe the threefold discipline of fasting, almsgiving, and prayer as a preparation for the celebration of Easter. Failure to observe individual days of penance is not considered serious, but failure to observe any penitential days at all or a substantial number of such days must be considered serious. During Lent, the Church encourages attendance at daily Mass, self-imposed times of fasting, and generosity to local, national, and worldwide programs of sharing.
