REGULATIONS FOR LENT
These are the regulations for Lent, which the Roman Catholic Church asks all Roman Catholics to follow...
FAST & ABSTINENCE FROM MEAT • ASH WEDNESDAY • GOOD FRIDAY
ABSTINENCE FROM MEAT • ALL FRIDAYS OF LENT
To FAST means that only one full meal a day be taken. 2 smaller meals may be eaten if necessary to maintain strength but both of them combined should not equal another full meal.
A Roman Catholic must observe the Fast from age 18 until the age of 59.
ABSTINENCE forbids the eating of meat. Abstinence begins when a person reaches the age of 14.
There is a serious obligation for Catholics to observe these penitential practices in a substantial way. Only those whose work or health would be impaired are excused from fast & abstinence.
Individual conscience should decide whether there is proper cause for excuse. A very serious reason is needed to excuse oneself from Good Friday fast and abstinence.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS
LENTEN FRIDAYS
at 3:00pm “Try your best to make the Stations of the Cross in this hour, provided that your duties permit it; and if you are not able to make the Stations of the Cross, then at least step into the chapel for a moment and adore, in the Blessed Sacrament, My Heart, which is full of mercy; and should you be unable to step into the chapel, immerse yourself in prayer there where you happen to be, even if only for a brief instant.” - JESUS TO ST. FAUSTINA

“Go, pick up the pieces lest they be lost.” JOHN 6:12
With these words, John Cardinal O’Connor directed the Sisters of Life to a ministry of reverence for those women & men who suffer following the tragedy of abortion. Since 1996, they have heeded that call with the help of Theresa Bonopartis, their co-worker in
ENTERING CANAAN… A SACRAMENTAL JOURNEY TO AN INHERITANCE OF MERCY
FOR THOSE SUFFERING AS A RESULT OF AN ABORTION
Many don’t realize that post-traumatic stress is the untold story of abortion. There are literally millions of women and men who, too often si lently and alone, suffer some of the most devastating psychological & spiritual consequences of our society’s disregard for the sanctity of human life and sacredness of human sexuality.
All retreats are led by Theresa Bonopartis and other women who have experienced both the suffering of abortion and the joy of healing in Christ; they are directed by faithful priests with a true heart for those who suffer and are hosted by the Sisters of Life. They include: Witnesses of Mercy, Scripture Sharing, Personal Prayer & Quiet Time, the opportunity for Sacramental Confession and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

“I will always be with you. I will never abandon you… be determined and confident…
do not be afraid or discouraged, for I the Lord your God, am with you wherever you go.”
Saint Patrick is the patron saint of the Archdiocese of New York and Ireland. Most of what is known about him comes from his two works:
THE CONFESSIO, a spiritual autobiography,
and his
EPISTOLA, a denunciation of the British mistreatment of Irish Christians. Saint Patrick described himself as a "most humble-minded man, pouring forth a continuous paean of thanks to his Maker for having chosen him as the instrument whereby multitudes who had worshipped idols and unclean things had become the people of God."
Saint Patrick is often credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland, however, he is believed to have been born in the late 4th century and it was actually Bishop Palladius, who was sent by Pope Celestine in 431 to be the first bishop to the Irish believers in Christ. While not the first to bring Christianity to Ireland, it is Patrick who is said to have encountered the Druids at Tara and then abolished their pagan rites. The story tells that Patrick converted the warrior chiefs and princes, baptizing them and thousands of their subjects in the "Holy Wells" that still bear this name.
The shamrock is associated with Saint Patrick because he used the ever-present clover to explain the Holy Trinity to the Irish pagans. Saint Patrick is well known for driving the snakes from Ireland. It is true there are no snakes in present day Ireland, but there probably never have been as the island was separated from the rest of the continent at the end of the Ice Age. In the old pagan religions, serpent symbols were common and often worshipped in Ireland. "Driving the snakes from Ireland" is a symbolic reference to Saint Patrick bringing an end to that pagan practice.
Today, many Catholic churches around the world are named in honor of Saint Patrick, including the cathedrals in New York and Dublin city. Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with all things Irish: anything green & gold, the
shamrock and good luck. Since the holiday began in Ireland, it is believed that as the Irish emigrated throughout the world, they took their history and celebrations. Most importantly though, to those who celebrate its intended meaning, Saint Patrick's Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and of offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.
Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh
It had long been known as sacred ground when Saint Patrick visited the Hill of Slane on the eve of Easter in 433 A.D. He lit a Paschal fire which could be seen from the nearby hill of Tara- Ireland’s royal seat of power. There, a fire burned, celebrating the pagan feast of Beltane. Since it was against the law to light any fire in the area while this was taking place, Laoghaire, the king at that time, was furious and he rode off with his retinue to arrest the rebel. Miraculously- some say by an earthquake, others by holding up a shamrock- Saint Patrick convinced the king of his belief in Christianity and the power of the Holy Trinity. Such a power seemed to be useful to the king who only wished that his soldiers could be as brave as Saint Patrick and his followers. He took the group prisoner and marched them back to the Hill of Tara. The next day, they were spared and were allowed to preach Christianity to the pagan army. Today, at the top of the hill are the ruins of a Franciscan Monastery built there in 1512.
ST. PATRICK'S BLESSING As he brought new faith to Ireland
So may he bring out in you A touch of Irish kindness
in everything you do. And through the good St. Patrick May your home & life be blessed
with all the special favors That make you happiest.
