Ash Wednesday Mass Schedule - Saint Joseph Catholic Church

Smudged with Ashes, Smeared with Oil
On a somber Wednesday we will gather to smudge
every forehead with ashes, admonishing each other to
remember that dust returns to dust and that the only
way through death to life is Christ. The ashes are made
by burning palms—given to us on Passion Sunday a
year ago with the invitation to “go forth in peace, praising Jesus our Messiah, as did the crowds that welcomed him into Jerusalem.”
Our baptismal life is a lifelong pilgrimage with Christ toward Jerusalem. Yet like our best intentions,
last year’s palm branches now have become dried and brittle—fodder for the fire. So our pilgrimage
leads us to Lent. And a hostile climate of sin and suffering necessitates drastic measures: We are
marked with ashes as a sign of our willingness to pray, fast and give alms.
But this gritty smudge that we accept on our foreheads is not a death sentence. It is not the
mark of Cain. A reminder of our fragile mortality, it is nonetheless shaped in the great sign of salvation: The ashes form a cross, a thumb-printed cross that marks the same heads that were smeared
with chrism at baptism. Anointed with that royal oil, we are committed to conversion, to continually
setting out for the new Jerusalem, to leaving behind forever our captivity in Egypt.
This gritty ashen sign reminds us that on the way there is soil and toil, sweat and hard work before we come to the oasis in this desert—the Easter bath of baptism. At the font, on a damp and
chilly night, water will wash away soil and oil will soothe away toil to make new Christians royal:
heirs of the reign of God. The dusty smudges will be gone, and in the light of the paschal candle the
oily heads of the newly baptized will shine like the moon and the stars, reminding us of our destiny.
What begins in ashes ends in water and in fire.

"When the Sisters are exhausted, up to
their eyes in work; when all seems to go
awry, they spend an hour in prayer before
the Blessed Sacrament. This practice has
never failed to bear fruit: they experience
peace and strength."

Second Collection February 25 and 26
Black and Indian Missions
Established in 1884 as the embodiment of the Church’s concern for
evangelizing the Black and Indian peoples of the United States, the
National Collection for the Black and Indian Missions offers a tremendous opportunity for Catholics to actively participate in the evangelizing programs made possible by the collection. Together, let us
truly be missionaries with them as our gifts help their evangelization
programs. Thank you for your generosity.
February “Word of Life”
Repent and believe in
the Gospel
Each month a Scripture sentence
will be offered as a guide and inspiration for daily living. Then on the
first Sunday of the month we will meet from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM
in the Sugar Hill house. We will gather to unpack the Word of all its
possible applications in our lives. It is our hope to assimilate the
Words of Life which the Good Lord has sculpted into the Gospels.
Little by little we look for every Word to be so impressed on our
souls that we begin to reason like Jesus. Please join us for our first
meeting on Sunday, March 4.

All are invited to participate in a prayerful Morning of Silence on Saturday,

expressions on this occasion. This event is a
collaborative effort by the Centering Prayer groups of
Saint Joseph, Holy Family, and Saint Ann who want to
share the beauty of silence and monastic traditions
with all.

prayer warriors in your community.
