FROM THE OGLE OFFICE
Dear Friends:
Lenten Regulations 2015
“With the celebration of Ash Wednesday, which this year falls on February 18th, we will once again enter into the grace-filled season of Lent. Throughout our Lenten journey, in preparation for the celebration of our Lord’s resurrection, we are invited to enter into a
more intense period of prayer, penance, and almsgiving. Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, in his Lenten message to the Universal Church, encourages all of us to enter fully into this time of spiritual and personal renewal by confronting what he terms the “globalization of indifference.” God’s love and interest in each one of us does not allow for indifference, therefore, we cannot be indifferent to those around us.
In order to assist the faithful of the Diocese of Brooklyn to take full advantage of the Lenten season, our Bishop, Most Reverend
Nicholas DiMarzio, would like to remind us of the following:
ABSTINENCE – All the faithful who have reached 14 years of age are required to abstain totally from meat on Ash Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent.
FASTING – All the faithful between the ages of 18 and 59 inclusive are bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. This practice involves limiting oneself to a single full meal and avoiding food between meals. Light sustenance may also be taken on two other occasions
during the day.
EASTER DUTY – After they have been initiated into the Most Holy Eucharist, all the faithful are bound by the obligation of receiving Holy
Communion at least once a year. This precept must be fulfilled during the Easter season, unless for a good reason it is fulfilled at another
time of the year. By special indult, in the United States, the time period for fulfilling this precept has been extended to include the period
beginning the First Sunday of Lent (Feb. 22, 2015) to Trinity Sunday (May 31, 2015).
Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord: This year the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord falls on Wednesday, March 25, 2015.
Reconciliation Monday: This year our diocese will once again celebrate Reconciliation Monday on March 30, 2015, which is the Monday of
Holy Week. As in the past, we hope this will be a wonderful opportunity for the faithful to participate in this great Sacrament of Healing.
The following also should be noted:
The obligation to observe, as a whole or substantially the penitential days specified by the Church, is a serious one. Days of penance are not merely individual exercises — they are observed by the whole Church, as the Body of Christ.
After having reached the age of discretion, members of the faithful are bound to confess once a year grave sins which have not
already been absolved.
The faithful are encouraged to celebrate the sacraments of the Eucharist and Penance frequently during the Lenten season. Reading the Scriptures, prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, generosity toward the poor and the needy are additional means of becoming more
involved in the Lenten season. Operation Rice Bowl is one example of a specific way to give alms.
Pastors and parents are responsible to see that young persons, who are not bound to the above requirements, are educated in an
authentic sense of penance.
All other Fridays of the year remain as days of penance in prayerful remembrance of the Passion of Jesus Christ. The Bishops of the
United States have recommended abstinence from meat as a penance for all Fridays of the year, although each individual may substitute
for that tradition some other practice of voluntary self-denial or personal penance. This may involve acts of mortification, prayer or charity.
In prayerful pilgrimage with the catechumens and candidates for full initiation, let us accompany our Lord on his way to the cross
and to the empty tomb. May we use this time of Lent to be more closely united with Christ in His Death and Resurrection. “
Msgr. Anthony Hernandez, J.C.L. Chancellor
God love you,
Msgr. Ogle
DE EL PASTOR
Queridos Hermanos,
Regulaciones de Cuaresma 2015
“Con la celebración del Miércoles de Ceniza, que este año cae el 18 de febrero, tendremos una vez más entrar en la temporada de
gracia de la Cuaresma. A lo largo de nuestro camino cuaresmal, en preparación para la celebración de la resurrección de nuestro Señor, se
nos invita a entrar en un período más intenso de la oración, la penitencia y la limosna. Nuestro Santo Padre, Francisco, en su mensaje cuaresmal de la Iglesia Universal, anima a todos a entrar de lleno en este tiempo de renovación espiritual y personal mediante la confrontación
de lo que él llama la "globalización de la indiferencia." El amor de Dios y de interés en cada uno de nosotros no permite la indiferencia, por
lo tanto, no podemos ser indiferentes a los que nos rodean.
Con el fin de ayudar a los fieles de la Diócesis de Brooklyn a aprovechar al máximo el tiempo de Cuaresma, nuestro obispo, Monseñor Nicholas DiMarzio, quisiera recordarnos de lo siguiente:
ABSTINENCIA - Todos los fieles que han alcanzado los 14 años de edad están obligados a abstenerse totalmente de comer carne el Miércoles de Ceniza y los viernes de Cuaresma.
AYUNO - Todos los fieles entre las edades de 18 y 59 inclusive están obligados a ayunar el Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo. Esta práctica implica limitándose a una sola comida completa y evitar los alimentos entre comidas. Sustento luz también puede ser tomado en otras
dos ocasiones durante el día.
CONTINUADO EN LA PROXIMA PAGINA
DEBER DE PASCUA - Después de que se han iniciado en la Santísima Eucaristía, todos los fieles están obligados por la obligación de
recibir la Sagrada Comunión al menos una vez al año. Este precepto debe cumplirse durante la temporada de Pascua, a no ser por
una buena razón que se cumpla en otro momento del año. Por indulto especial, en los Estados Unidos, el plazo para el cumplimiento de este precepto se ha ampliado para incluir el período que comienza el primer domingo de Cuaresma (22 de febrero
2015) a la Santísima Trinidad (31 de mayo de 2015).
Solemnidad de la Anunciación del Señor: Este año la solemnidad de la Anunciación del Señor cae en Miércoles, 25 de marzo 2015.
Lunes de Reconciliación: Este año nuestra diócesis volverá a celebrar la Lunes de Reconciliación 30 de marzo de 2015, que es el
lunes de la Semana Santa. Como en el pasado, esperamos que esta sea una oportunidad maravillosa para que los fieles a participar
en este gran sacramento de sanación.
Lo siguiente también hay que señalar:
La obligación de respetar, en su totalidad o sustancialmente los días penitenciales especificado por la Iglesia, es grave.
Días de penitencia no son más que ejercicios individuales - son observados por toda la Iglesia, como Cuerpo de Cristo.
Después de haber alcanzado la edad de la discreción, los fieles están obligados a confesar una vez al año la tumba pecados que no
hayan sido absueltos.
Se anima a los fieles a celebrar los sacramentos de la Eucaristía y de la Penitencia con frecuencia durante el tiempo de
Cuaresma. La lectura de las Escrituras, la oración ante el Santísimo Sacramento, la generosidad hacia los pobres y los necesitados
son medios adicionales de participar más en el tiempo de Cuaresma. Operación Plato de Arroz es un ejemplo de una manera específica para dar limosna.
Los pastores y los padres son responsables de ver que los jóvenes, que no están vinculados a los requisitos anteriores, se
educan en un auténtico sentido de la penitencia.
Todos los otros viernes del año permanecen como los días de penitencia recuerdo en la oración de la Pasión de Jesucristo.
Los obispos de Estados Unidos han recomendado la abstinencia de carne como penitencia por todos los viernes del año, aunque
cada individuo puede sustituir a esa tradición alguna otra práctica de la auto-negación voluntaria o penitencia personal. Esto puede implicar actos de mortificación, la oración o de la caridad.
En la peregrinación de oración con los catecúmenos y los candidatos a la iniciación completa, vamos a acompañar a nuestro Señor en su camino a la cruz y la tumba vacía. Podemos utilizar este tiempo de Cuaresma para estar más estrechamente unidos
con Cristo en su muerte y resurrección.”
Mons. Anthony Hernandez, J.C.L.

PRAYERS OF THE WEEK
Prayer for Anxiety
"Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I
am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your
souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give
you is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
Dear Lord:
I need you now because I am full of stress and anxiety.
Reading your Word brings comfort, as I ask you to
come and take my heavy burdens. I take each burden,
one by one, and lay them at your feet. Please carry
them for me so that I don't have to. Replace them with
your humble and gentle yoke so that I will find rest for
my soul today. I receive your gift of peace of mind and
heart. Thank you that I can lie down tonight in peace
and sleep. I know that you, Lord, will keep me safe. I
am not afraid because you are always with me. Amen.

ASH WEDNESDAY PRAYERS TO START LENTEN SEASON
Lord, it feels like we are embarking on
a Lenten journey together, you and I.
I want to remember how much I need
you in my life and how much my life
needs redemption.
I want to remember it clearly and in
the background of my day today and
all through Lent.
On this special day, Ash Wednesday,
may my small sacrifices in fasting be a way to clear away
the clutter in my life to see you more clearly.
May my longing for meat and other food,
help me to focus my life today more outside myself.
Let me be aware of those who are in so much more
suffering than I am
and may I be aware of them as the brothers and sisters
you have placed in my life.
Lord, I know there is darkness within me and around me.
Bless these days with your Word.
Let your Light shine in the darkness.
Help me long for that Light
until we celebrate it at the Vigil six weeks from now.
And most of all Lord,
help me to honor this day with the ashes on my forehead.
They help me remember where I have come from and
where I am going.
May I acknowledge to you my sins
and my deep need for your loving forgiveness and grace.
I pray that this Lenten season will make me so much
more aware
of how much I need your healing in my life. Amen.
——————————Lord, I know how much you love me.
It’s hard for me to feel it sometimes,
but I know your love is always with me.
Help me to use your love as a way
to persevere in my Lenten intentions.
I am weak, but I know with your help,
I can use these small sacrifices in my life to draw closer
to you

Be my protector, O God, a mighty stronghold to save me.
For you are my rock, my stronghold! Lead me, guide me, for
the sake of your name.

Gloria in excelsis Deo et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis. Laudamus te, benedicimus te, adoramus te, glorificamus te, gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam, Domine Deus, Rex caelestis, Deus Pater omnipotens.
Domine Fili unigenite, Iesu Christe, Domine Deus, Agnus
Dei, Filius Patris, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis;
qui tollis peccata mundi, suscipe deprecationem nostram.
Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis. Quoniam tu
solus Sanctus, tu solus Dominus, tu solus Altissimus, Iesu
Christe, cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris. Amen

Bnedictus es Domine, doce me iustificationes tuas: benedictus es Domine, doce me iustificationes tuas, in libiis meis

are you, O Lord; teach me your precepts. On my lips I have
proclaimed all the judgments of your mouth.

LAMB OF GOD: Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. (2 X) Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona
nobis pacem.
Manducaverunt, et saturati sunt nimis, et desiderium
