NO EVENING CONFESSIONS

2020 Lenten Regulations

1. *The days of both Fast and Abstinence during Lent are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the “paschal fast” to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus, and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily His Resurrection. The other Fridays of Lent are days of Abstinence. *On a day of Fast, only one (1) full meal is permitted and two (2) smaller meals which, if added together, would not exceed the main meal in quantity. *Those between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast.

2. *On a day of Abstinence, no meat may be eaten. *Those who have reached the age of 14 are obliged by the law of abstinence.

3. *The Fridays of the year, outside of Lent, are designated as days of penance, but each individual may substitute for the traditional abstinence from meat some other practice of self-denial as penance.

4 *The time for fulfilling the Paschal Precept (Easter Du-ty*) extends from the First Sunday of Lent, March 1st, to the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, June 7, 2020.

*Canon 920, §1 All the faithful, after they have been initiated into the Most Holy Eucharist, are bound by the obligation of receiving Communion at least once a year.

The evening Services Monday through Wednesday will be at 7:00pm, so no Confessions or 7:30pm Mass on Monday through Wednesday, March 9-11.

Msgr. Richard J. Arnhols

Reflection on Today’s Scripture Readings.

A 2006 movie called Love Actually has one of the best openings in recent years. It begins with two young people running toward each other and falling into each other’s arms, kissing joyfully. Then you see a mother being hugged by her two little girls, then two older women, perhaps sisters, embracing. As these scenes give way to others, you become aware that all this takes place in an airport at the arrivals gate. Accompanying these images is a voiceover. Whenever he feels down about the condition of the world, the speaker goes to the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport in London. Despite the fact that there is so much hatred and greed in the world, he says, Heathrow is one place where things seem different. At Heathrow love is everywhere. All the while you hear this voice, you are watching people rush into each other’s arms. For a full minute you see the world as a welcoming, warm, loving place. You know it’s something of a set-up because who goes to meet people at airports other than family, good friends, people in a loving relationship? But isn’t this God’s plan for the world, what God wants most from us: love God; love one another. The voiceover concludes by noting that right before the planes hit the Twin Towers in New York City, all the calls that went out were messages of love. People chose to have their final words be professions of love. Making that choice on a daily basis is what makes us perfect—that is, full-grown, complete, holy.

Stewardship: Sharing our Time, Talent, and Treasure!

“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…” MATTHEW 5:44

Love your enemies, easier said than done, no doubt. But, remember, the foundation of stewardship is prayer. When we are in close communication with God, it opens our heart and it turns our attention away from “me” and moves it towards God and others. It allows us to have a little more empathy for “our enemy”. When we pray for others, even “our enemies”, maybe it softens their hearts as well.

Memorial Fund/Special Intention

We are offering weekly memorial/special intention opportunities for the altar wine and communion hosts used at Mass, the sanctuary candle, and flowers for the altar. Please fill out a request form, available at the rectory. The memorial items will be listed in the appropriate week’s bulletin. Contact us at the rectory (201-384-0101) for weekly memorial/special intention opportunities.

ASH WEDNESDAY Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving: these disciplines, prescribed by Jesus himself in the Sermon on the Mount, along with strict instructions not to flaunt them in public to win recognition and praise (Matthew 6:1-18), have been embraced by all the saints at the beginning of every Lent for almost two thousand years. But mention Lent, and many react with a grimace or slight shudder—even now, years after official obligations have been reduced to a minimum! No wonder the Eastern Rite’s “Lenten An-nouncement” sounds surprising: “Let us receive with joy, O faithful people, the divinely inspired announcement of Lent! The Lenten Spring shines forth! Begin the fast with joy! Let us fast from passions as well as food, taking pleasure in the good works of the Spirit, and accomplish-ing them in love!” Saint John Chrysostom, whose feast is September 13, elaborates: “Do you fast? Give proof by your works. If you see a poor person, take pity. An ene-my, be reconciled. A friend gaining honor, don’t be jeal-ous.” A positive approach! May the saints help us keep such a Lent!
