PARISH NEWS & LITURGICAL

FROM THE LIPS OF THE SAINTSBy: Seminarian Roberto Villablanca

Pope St. John Paul II said, “the Christian life involves detachment from superfluous goods, and the acceptance of a poverty which sets us free.” The disordered attachment to material goods blurs our vision of God and our neighbor. It makes us insensitive to the needs of other people. Attachment to material goods puts all our hope into this passing world. We are therefore called to live a spirit of detachment or poverty. This virtue does not mean despising all our material resources. Instead, the virtue of detachment leads us to view material goods as what they truly are: means to glorify God, sanctify others and ourselves. Detachment gives us a clear vision of God and neighbor. Thus, it helps us to be free and love others genuinely.

5PARISH NEWS & LITURGICAL

VOCATIONSWhat can we do to help promote more vocations in the church? The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) recommends every catholic in the United States to do these 5 things to promote vocations.

1. Pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life. Jesus says in Matthew 9:38 “to beg the master of the harvest to send laborers into the vineyard.” If we want more priests, sisters and brothers, we all need to ask.

2. Teach young people how to pray. Pope Benedict XVI said that unless we teach our youth how to pray, they will never hear God calling them into a deeper relationship with Him and into the discipleship of the Church.

3. Invite active young adults and teens to consider a vocation to the priesthood or consecrated life. A simple, sincere comment should not be underestimated. An easy way to do this can be remembered by four letters: ICNU. “John, I see in you (ICNU) the qualities that would make a good priest, and I want to encourage you to pray about it.” It is a non-invasive way to encourage openness to a religious vocation.

4. Make it attractive. Show the priesthood for what it truly is – a call to be a spiritual father to the whole family of faith. Similarly, the consecrated life for a young woman is a call to be united to Christ in a unique way, and to be a spiritual mother to those she encounters in her life and service. The challenge for priests and religious is to be joyful models of their vocations.

5. Preach it, brother! Vocations must be talked about regularly if a “vocation culture” is to take root in parishes and homes. This means, first and foremost, the people need to hear about vocations from priests through homilies, prayers of the faithful, and discussions in the classroom. Vocations kept out of sight are out of mind.

6 LITURGICAL

Lenten regulations for fasting and abstinenceAsh Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fasting and obligatory abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. For members of the Roman Catholic Church the norms on fasting are obligatory for ages 18-59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members from age 14.

What is Lent?Lent is our time of preparation. A 40-day journey of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Lent is a journey that spans Ash Wednesday through Holy Week culminating in the great celebration of Easter. As Catholics, the spiritual pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving guide us in daily reflection on our own lives as we strive to deepen our relationship with God.

What should I give up for Lent?Catechism invites Catholics to abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent. In addition to Meatless Fridays, Catholics are also invited to offer daily sacrifices. By giving up little things−coffee, sweets, and more, we leave room for God to act in our lives in new ways.

Holy WeekPalm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, one of the most significant moments of the Church year. During this week, we journey with Christ from his triumphant entry into Jerusalem to his final meal with his closest friends, and ultimately to his death on the cross. As we walk with Jesus through Holy Week, we call to mind the countless men, women and children who even today carry heavy crosses of hunger, of homelessness, of lack of resources or security. In these brothers and sisters, we encounter Christ. Christ who continues to walk that long road to Calvary.

Stations of the CrossJourney with Jesus to Calvary with the Catholic social teaching inspired by the Stations of the Cross. There is also a Lenten retreat available, “Companions on the Journey.”

Reglas para el ayuno y la abstinencia en la CuaresmaEl Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo son dias de ayuno y abstinencia obligatorio para los católicos. Además, durante la Cuaresma todos los viernes son días de abstinencia obligatoria. Las normas del ayuno se aplican a los miembros de la iglesia Católica Romana de 18 a 59 años. Durante el ayuno, se permite consumir una comida completa y dos pequeñas que combinadas sean menor que una comida completa. Las normas de la abstinencia de carne son obligatorias para católicos mayores de 14 años.

Que es la Cuaresma?La Cuaresma es un tiempo de preparación: un viaje de 40 días de oración, ayuno y donativos que se extiende desde el Miércoles de Ceniza hasta la Semana Santa culminando en la gran celebración de las Pascua. Como católicos, los pilares espirituales de la oración, el ayuno, y los donativos nos ayudan a reflexionar diariamente sobre nuestra propia vida.

A que debo renunciar durante la Cuaresma?El Catesismo invita a los católicos a abstenerse de comer carne los viernes durante la Cuaresma. Además de los viernes sin carne, los católicos también están invitados a ofrecer sacrificios diarios. Al renunciar pequeñas cosas−café, dulces, y mas deja espacio para que Dios actué en nuestra vida de nuevas maneras.

Semana SantaEl Domingo de Ramos marca el principio de la Semana Santa; uno de los momentos con Cristo desde su entrada triunfal en Jerusalén hasta su muerte en la cruz. Mientras caminamos con Jesús durante la Semana Santa recordamos a los innumerables hombres, mujeres y niños que aun hoy cargan cruces pesadas: la cruz del hambre, de vivir en la calle, de escasez de recursos o falta de seguridad. En estos hermanos y hermanas encontramos a Cristo. Cristo que continúa andando por el largo camino al Calvario.

Estaciones de la cruz / Via CrucisCamina junto a Jesús en el recorrido hacia el Calvario en este Via Crucis inspirado en la enseñanza social católica. También hay un retiro de cuaresma llamado “Compañeros en el Camino.”

Questions and answers about Lent and Lenten practices

From usccb.org

Q. Why do we say that there are 40 days of Lent? When you count all the days from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday, there are 46.

A. It might be more accurate to say there is the “40-day fast within Lent.” Historically, Lent has varied from a week to three weeks to the present configuration of 46 days. The 40-day fast, however, has been more stable. The Sundays of Lent are not prescribed days of fast and abstinence.

Q. So does that mean that when we give something up for Lent such as candy, we can have it on Sundays?

A. Apart from the prescribed days of fast and abstinence on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday and the days of abstinence every Friday of Lent, Catholics have traditionally chosen additional penitential practices as disciplinary in nature and often more effective if they are continuous, i.e.., kept on Sunday as well. That being said, such practices are not regulated in the Church but by individual conscience.

Q. I understand that Catholic ages 18-59 should fast on Ash Wednesday and on Good Friday but what exactly are the rules for fasting?

A. Fasting on these days means we can have only one full, meatless meal. Some food can be taken at the other regular meal times, if necessary, but combined they should be less than a full meal. Liquids are allowed at any time but no solid food should be consumed between meals.

Q. Are there exemptions, other than for age, from the requirement to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday?

A. Those that are excused from fast abstinence outside the age limits include the physically or mentally ill, including individuals suffering from chronic illnesses such as diabetes. Also excluded, are pregnant or nursing women. In all cases, common sense should prevail and ill persons should not further jeopardize their health by fasting.

Preguntas y respuestas sobre la Cuaresma y las practicas cuaresmales

del usccb.org

P. Por qué decímos que hay cuarenta días en la cuaresma? Cuando contamos todos los días desde el Miércoles de Ceniza hasta el Sábado Santo, son 46 días.

R. Podrá ser mas exacto decir que hay “cuarenta días de ayuno dentro de la Cuaresma.” Históricamente, la Cuaresma ha variado de una semana a tres semanas hasta la configuración presente de 46 días. El ayuno de cuarenta días, sin embargo ha sido mas estable. Los domingos de Cuaresma no estan prescritos como días de ayuno y abstinencia.

P. Así que, eso quiere decir que cuando renunciamos a algo para Cuaresma como dulces, los podemos comer los domingos?

R. Aparte de los días prescritos de ayuno y abstinencia, el Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo, y los días de abstinencia todos los viernes de Cuaresma, los católicos tradicionalmente eligen otras formas de practicas penitenciales para todo tiempo de Cuaresma. Estas practicas tienen naturaleza disciplinar y a menudo son mas eficaces si son continuas es decir si se observan también los domingos. Dicho esto depende de la conciencia individual.

P. Comprendo que los católicos de entre los 18 y los 59 años deben ayunar el Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo, pero exactamente cuales son las reglas para esos ayunos?

R. El ayunar en esos días quiere decir que podemos tener solamente una comida sin carne en el día. Se puede comer algo en otros momentos del día, si es necesario, pero combinados deberían ser menor que una comida completa. Se permiten líquidos en cualquier momento, pero no se deben consumir solidos entre comidas.

P. Hay excepciones que no sean solo de edad de los requisitos de ayunar el Miércoles de Ceniza o el Viernes Santo?

R. Quienes están excluidos del ayuno y la abstinencia fuera de los limites de edad incluyen a las personas con enfermedades mentales o físicas, incluyendo a quienes sufren enfermedades crónicas, tales como los diabéticos. También se excluyen a las mujeres embarazadas o lactantes. En todo los casos, debe prevalecer el sentido común y las personas enfermas no deberían poner más en peligro su salud.
