A Reflection From the Administrator’s Desk….February 26, 2017
Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A
I am sure many of us remember the popular hit song by musician Bobby McFerrin, “Don't Worry, Be Happy”, released in September 1988. In this song Bobby McFerrin contrasted worry and
happiness. About worry he says, "don't”; but about happiness, he says, “be”. In this weekend’s Gospel
we hear Jesus saying the same thing: “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own.
today’s trouble is enough for today.” (Matthew 6:34 NAB).
Worries have no boundaries: we worry about bills, health, insurances, and all the demands associated with
raising children in this age. In fact, worry seems to live in every home. It forms part of our restlessness and constantly
haunts us with the “ifs” and the “oughts”: “what if….?” or “I ought to….” What if I lose my job? What if I fall sick?
What if I lose my husband or wife? Or I ought to finish this job before 5 pm. I ought to win this case. The ifs and oughts
can debilitate us to the point we get stuck in the past or the future and fail to enjoy the present.
Another name for worry is anxiety. Everyone becomes anxious from time to time. Anxiety affects a person's
whole being. It affects how we think and how we feel. But anxiety raises concerns when it interferes with life (i.e. when
there is no real threat or it goes on too long after the danger has passed.) Anxiety or worry derives from the desire to
control. Anxious people want to be sure they are in control of all situations, but when things get out of their control they
get anxious and direct their frustration on the nearest victim and/or sometimes unleash the frustration on themselves. By
saying, “don’t worry”, Jesus intends to move people away from worries over worldly necessities towards reliance on
God. The more we rely on God, the more we are free for a life of faith and the less we worry. We can face life with all its
uncertainties and contingencies with the assurances that we are not alone. God is in control for better or worse.
God is good all the time; all the time God is good! Fr. Linus Umoren

Lent A time for prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
Each year the Lord Jesus calls the entire Church to a
special season of penance and renewal. As we begin this
holy time of Lent, we should reflect on our need for
conversion of heart, prayer, charitable works and
penance. The season of Lent extends this year from Ash
Wednesday, March 1, 2017 to the Mass of the Lord’s
Supper, April 14, 2017 inclusive. The rules for
abstinence and fasting are:
1. Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain
from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all
Fridays of Lent.
2. Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of age
is also bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good
Friday.
3. On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday fasting and
abstinence is only one full meatless meal. The other
meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may
be taken according to one’s needs, but altogether
they should not equal another full meal. Eating
between meals is not permitted on these two days,
but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are
allowed. When health or ability to work would be
seriously affected, the obligation of the law is
modified. Because Lent is a special season for all
Christians, we should not lightly excuse ourselves
from these penitential practices. To completely
disregard the law of fast and abstinence is seriously
sinful.
Next Sunday, March 5 @ 1 p.m.
The first six-week session is ….
“Lent-It is not for just giving up
anymore!”
Encouraging Lent to be more than just a time of penance, but a time of
re-evaluation of our commitment to
God through service and love. We
don’t have to just give up something, but pay forward the
grace God has given us.
Stations of the Cross Schedule
Every Friday during Lent Stations of the Cross
will be offered at 8:30 a.m. at Holy Family
and 7:00 p.m. at Sacred Heart. Come walk
the journey of Christ!
