Just as Jesus spent these days fighting with temptation and ultimately building up his spiritual strength, we too are called to spend the next forty days doing battle with the things that tempt us. We are invited during this holy season to grow in self-discipline by giving something up for Lent. The long- standing Christian practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are also important elements of this spiritual battle. When we pray, we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit, thereby squeezing out any spirit of selfishness or evil that threatens to control our hearts. When we fast, we exercise the virtue of temperance, or self- control. This virtue is of tremendous value when we are tempted to indulge our bodily senses in ways that are not healthy or holy. And almsgiving-- when it is truly generous--also strengthens us spiritually by shifting our gaze to the needs of others, even to the point of making a personal sacrifice. During Lent, we acknowledge the battle between good and evil within our own souls and do what we can to stir up a victory for goodness. This season of purification can help each of us to become a better, holier, and therefore happier person. May we make good use of this, our journey into the desert. © 2015 Liturgical Publications Inc, LPI Resource Center. P.O. Box 510817, New Berlin, WI 53151-0817 1800-950-9952, ext 246

First Sunday of Lent Mark 1:12-15

Lent is meant to be our journey

into the desert. Just as Jesus spent

these days fighting with

temptation and ultimately

building up his spiritual strength,

we too are called to spend the

next forty days doing battle with

the things that tempt us. We are

invited during this holy season to

grow in self-discipline by giving

something up for Lent. The long-

standing Christian practices of

prayer, fasting, and almsgiving

are also important elements of

this spiritual battle. When we

pray, we open ourselves to the

Holy Spirit, thereby squeezing

out any spirit of selfishness or evil

that threatens to control our

hearts. When we fast, we exercise

the virtue of temperance, or self-

control. This virtue is of

tremendous value when we are

tempted to indulge our bodily

senses in ways that are not

healthy or holy. And almsgiving--

when it is truly generous--also

strengthens us spiritually by

shifting our gaze to the needs of

others, even to the point of

making a personal sacrifice.

During Lent, we acknowledge the

battle between good and evil

within our own souls and do what

we can to stir up a victory for

goodness. This season of

purification can help each of us to

become a better, holier, and

therefore happier person. May we

make good use of this, our

journey into the desert.

All monies above our goal of $62,000 will remain here in the parish and be used to close out the Fire Restoration Fund.

LENTEN REGULATIONS

Abstinence All who have reached their 14th birthday are to abstain from eating meat on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays during Lent.

Fasting All those who are 18 and older, until their 59th birthday, are to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Only one full meal is allowed on days of fast. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to one’s needs. But together, they should not equal a full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids are allowed.

The obligation does not apply to those whose health or ability to work would be seriously affect-ed. People in doubt about fast or abstinence should consult a parish priest.

DAILY PRAYER FOR PRIESTS

O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and; fervent priests;

For your unfaithful and tepid priests; For your priests laboring at home or

Abroad in distant mission fields. For your tempted priests;

For your lonely and desolate priests; For your young priests; For your dying priests;

For the souls of your priests in Purgatory. But above all, I recommend to you

The priests dearest to me; The priest who baptized me;

The priests who absolved me from my sins; The priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me

Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; The priests who taught and instructed me;

All the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way

(especially……………..….) O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,

And bless them abundantly in time and in Eternity,

Amen
