Our Lady of Mount Carmel Mission Statement
“We are the Roman Catholic Community of Our Lady of Mount Carmel based in Tenafly, New Jersey.
Our mission is the promotion of the holiness of life through the celebration of the Sacraments, the sharing of the Gospel
and the promotion of Catholic values. We offer pastoral care through ministries that provide education,
healing, spiritual growth and social outreach in the Carmelite tradition.”
“No matter who you are, no matter what you’ve done, no matter where you’re from, no matter where you’re going,
no matter how good or bad things seem, you are always welcome.”

WELCOME
“The Courage to Go to Jesus
How many times in my pastoral ministry have I heard it said, ‘Father, I have many sins,’ and I have always
pleaded, ‘Don’t be afraid; go to him; he is waiting for you; he will take care of everything.’ We hear many offers from the world around us, but let us take up God’s offer instead: his is a caress of love.”

TODAY’S GOSPEL MESSAGE Sunday, February 18th
Mark 1:12-15
“This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
On Ash Wednesday we may have been told to repent and believe in the Gospel. “We hear these words again in today’s Gospel. Lent is an appropriate occasion to consider our sins, promise to turn back to God, and place our trust in the One who has power over sin and death.”

LENTEN REGULATIONS REGARDING
FAST & ABSTINENCE
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 (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 full meal is permitted and two 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.
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.
The obligation to observe the laws of Fast and Abstinence “substantially,” or as a whole, is a serious obligation.
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 voluntary self-denial as penance. The time for fulfilling the Paschal Precept (Easter Duty*) extends from the First Sunday of Lent, February 18, 2018 to The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, May 27, 2018. *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.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church welcomes you to
