ASH WEDNESDAY a day of fasting, is the first day of Lent in Western Christianity. It occurs 46 days (40 fasting days, if the six Sundays, which are not days of fast, are excluded) before Easter and can fall as early as February 4 or as late as March 10. Ash Wednesday is observed by many Western Christians, including Anglicans, Lutherans, Meth-odists, Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, and some Bap-tists. According to the canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus Christ spent 40 days fasting in the desert, where he endured temptation by Satan. Lent originated as a mirroring of this, fasting 40 days as preparation for Easter. Every Sunday was seen as a commemoration of the Sunday of Christ's resurrection and so as a feast day on which fasting was inappropriate. Accordingly, Christians fasted from Monday to Saturday (six days) during six weeks and from Wednesday to Saturday (four days) in the preceding week, thus making up the number of 40 days. Orthodox Christians do this 40 days in a row.

THE SEVEN HOLY FOUNDERS OF THE SERVITE ORDER

In 1240, seven noblemen of Florence mutually decided to withdraw from the city to a solitary place for prayer and direct service of God. Their initial difficulty was providing for their dependents, since two were still married and two were widowers. Their aim was to lead a life of penance and prayer, but they soon found themselves disturbed by constant visitors from Florence. They next withdrew to the deserted slopes of Monte Senario.

Our Lady of the Assumption Parish!

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY REFLECTION February 11, 2018

Jesus was “moved with pity”, and so he chose to heal the leper. And in spite of Jesus’ command to “tell no one anything,” Jesus knew that the leper would not be able

to keep the good news of his healing quiet. And, yes, the leper does “publicize the whole matter.” Indeed, the leper proclaims the gospel. Perhaps Jesus healed the leper because he recognized one who would be a disciple and spread the good

news. Jesus wished that the leper be made clean, he had the power to heal. But more important, his heart was filled with mercy. And Jesus was announced to all by this leper who became a disciple. Jesus’ commission to us is to tell everyone the good news—do we tell no one? (Living Liturgy, p.58)

LITURGY CORNER

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Today’s Gospel centers on the plight of a leper and Jesus’ response of healing. In Hawaii, the bacterium that causes leprosy probably entered from China in the mid-1800s, and the native islanders were susceptible to the dreaded disease. In 1866, the government literally dumped the sufferers on a remote and virtually inaccessible island peninsula with towering cliffs. Thrown off ships into the sea, the sick people were told to swim for the beach and head for caves, and for seven years the only supplies were similarly cast into the sea to drift ashore. It was then, 1873, that a thirty-three-year-old Belgian priest, Damien de Veuster, went voluntarily to Kalaupapa. Before long, he cajoled the government into funding his mission and its hospital, built a village with proper homes and sanitation, and recruited Mother Marianne Cope to bring sisters from Syracuse, New York, to nurse the sick. Damien, who eventually died of leprosy, has been canonized, and Mother Marianne as well. Although leprosy has been curable since the 1940s, today a few patients remain in their lifelong home, now a national historic site. The peninsula is still utterly isolated from the outside world, and the speed limit for the few cars there is 5 mph since there’s nowhere to go! The hospital is still well-staffed and equipped, but access is regulated and visitors must take an official tour, often involving a descent down the cliffs by “Molakai mule.” There are few places on earth that evoke the healing power of Jesus, or our call to follow the Healer, more than Damien’s beloved island mission.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Esta semana recordamos a san Valentín, obispo y mártir. En EE. UU. se conmemora el amor de parejas, novios y esposos. Según la tradición, san Valentín, en el año 270, contradijo al emperador y casó a varias pa-rejas después de que el emperador hubiese prohibido el matrimonio para mandar los hombres al ejército. Va-lentín fue encarcelado y allí se enamoró de la hija ciega del carcelero (en aquel tiempo los obispos y los sacer-dotes se podían casar). El santo le dio la vista a la mu-chacha y se hicieron novios. Llegado el día de su marti-rio Valentín le dejó una carta de despedida con el car-celero. La firmó “De tu Valentín”. En algunos países latinoamericanos el 14 de fe-brero es la celebración del amor y la amistad. Los novios son importantes, pero la persona no puede vivir sólo con el amor de pareja. Los humanos esta-mos hechos para varios tipos de amor. Estamos hechos para el amor que nos trasciende a nosotros mismos. Este es el amor cristiano, el que no se limita a familia, amigos. El que es valiente, como lo significa Valentín, ama a todos aun a la persona que es dife-rente a uno. (San Valentín no está hoy día; ni en el Santoral, ni en el Misal Romano.)

A DIOS TODA LA GLORIA Una característica peculiar de la primera parte del Evangelio según san Marcos es que, en general, Jesús obra un milagro y luego le dice al beneficiario del milagro que no se lo cuente a nadie. Se ha especulado mucho al respecto: Marcos está preparando el terreno para el gran “secreto” que se revelará cuando Pedro proclame que Jesús es el Mesías en Cesárea de Filipo; otros comenta-ristas más escépticos sostienen que Jesús, quien era plenamente consciente de su naturaleza humana, sabía que la mejor manera de difundir la Buena Nueva era pi-diéndole a las personas que la mantuvieran en secreto. La reflexión de esta manera de guardar el secreto que nos resulta muy útil, sin embargo, es que Jesús estaba comenzando su ministerio público de la forma en que describe Pablo: lo estaba haciendo por la gloria de Dios, no para beneficio propio sino para beneficio de todos. Pablo después escribiría a los filipenses que Jesús “se rebajó a sí mismo” para parecerse a nosotros. Y vemos cómo esta humildad se pone en práctica hoy en la cura-ción del leproso. Jesús está intentando revelar la presen-cia del Reino de Dios entre las personas, no para recibir gloria sino para que Dios fuera glorificado por él. Imitar esta forma de obrar, lo cual Pablo sugiere que hagan las facciones judías y griegas cristianas de Corintio, todavía nos resulta muy útil hoy.

GIVE GOD THE GLORY A curious feature of the first half of Mark’s Gospel is the pattern of Jesus working a miracle, then telling the re-cipient of the miracle to keep still about it. Many theories have been offered: Mark is setting the stage for the great “secret” revealed when Peter will proclaim Jesus the Messiah at Caesarea Philippi; more skeptical commentators offer that Jesus, fully aware of human nature, knew that the way to spread the news was to tell people to keep it secret. The insight into this secret-keeping that serves us well, however, is that Jesus was initiating his public ministry according to the pattern that Paul describes. He was doing it for the glory of God—not for his own benefit, but for that of all. Paul would later write in Philippians that Jesus “humbled” himself to become like us. And we see this humility at work in today’s healing of the leper. Jesus is trying to reveal the presence of God’s reign among the people, not so that he himself might receive the glory, but so that God would be glorified through him. Imitating this pattern, which Paul encourages the Jewish and Greek Christian factions in Corinth to do, still serves us well today.
