Dear Friends at St. Louise,
Happy first Sunday of Lent! I am writing this column while the snow has covered the ground around us, so it seems a little strange to be explaining that the English word “Lent” means “springtime.” But this is the time of year when we start to notice that the days are getting longer, the weather (at least at times) is warmer, and we who have gardens think about working the earth and planting seeds and seedlings for the harvest we hope will come in the summer and early fall.
One way to think about the Lenten Season is as a 40-day “retreat” that the whole Church, throughout the world, makes together through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. What can you do to add to your prayer life this Lent? It is always best to set realistic and achievable goals. If prayer has mostly fallen by the wayside for you, start with as little as two or three, at the most five, minutes a day. Read a short passage from Scripture, or even spend those few minutes in meditation and silence. Don’t be surprised by distractions – they always happen, even to those most experienced in prayer. There is a saying that goes, “When we stop to pray, the mind will play.” That does not mean that the prayer is a waste of time! God will still bless the time you give to Him. You may at some later time realize the blessing of peace or the gift of wisdom or whatever gift God sees best to give to you. Prayer helps us to see with more clarity the gifts that God is constantly showering upon us.
Eating less during Lent can be an aid to prayer. Too often, if we try to pray on a full stomach, we will all too easily fall asleep. Physical hunger can help us to be more aware of our spiritual hunger and to be more attentive to spiritual food, which is Christ the Lord. Our fasting can help us to be in solidarity with the one billion-plus people in the world who go to bed hungry every day. If we spend less money on ourselves, we will have more to give to the poor. Lent is a time to examine ourselves and our habits – how often do we spend money on our wants as opposed to our needs? Especially in Lent we may ask ourselves: What sacrifice might I make during Lent to make a more generous gift to charities that serve the poor, like “Operation Rice Bowl”?
Have a blessed Lenten Season!
Fr. Gary Zender
Queridos Amigos de Sta. Luisa: ¡Feliz Primer Domingo de Cuaresma! Estoy escribiendo esta co-lumna mientras la nieve cubre la tierra a nuestro alrededor, así que es un poco extraño explicar que la palabra “Cuaresma” en inglés (Lent) significa “primavera.” Pero esta es la época del año cuando empezamos a notar que los días se hacen más largos, el clima es más cálido (por lo menos a veces) y los que tenemos jardines pensa-mos en trabajar la tierra y plantar semillas para la cosecha que espe-ramos tener en el verano y a principios del otoño. Una forma de pensar en la Temporada de Cuaresma es como un “retiro” de 40 días que toda la Iglesia, en el mundo entero, hace en conjunto por medio de la oración, el ayuno y la limosna. ¿Qué pueden hacer ustedes para aumentar su vida de oración esta Cua-resma? Siempre es mejor poner metas realistas y alcanzables. Si ustedes generalmente han dejado de lado la oración, empiecen con poco, dos o tres minutos, máximo cinco minutos al día. Lean un pa-saje corto de la Escritura o pasen un tiempo de meditación y silencio. No se sorprendan si hay distracciones – siempre suceden, incluso a los más experimentados en la oración. Hay un dicho que dice así: “Cuando dejamos de orar, la mente se pone a jugar.” (¡Creo que este dicho es más común en inglés que en español, pero esa es la idea!) ¡Eso no quiere decir que la oración sea una pérdida de tiempo! Dios bendecirá de todas maneras el tiempo que ustedes le den a Él. Tal vez más adelante descubran la bendición de la paz o el don de la sabiduría, o cualquier don que Dios considere que es el mejor para darles. La oración nos ayuda a ver con más claridad los dones que Dios está derramando constantemente sobre nosotros. Comer menos durante la Cuaresma puede ser una ayuda para la oración. Si tratamos de orar con el estómago lleno, con mucha fre-cuencia nos quedaremos dormidos fácilmente. El hambre física nos puede ayudar a estar más conscientes de nuestra hambre espiritual y a estar más atentos al alimento espiritual, que es Cristo nuestro Señor. Nuestro ayuno puede ayudarnos a estar en solidaridad con más de mil millones de personas en el mundo que padecen hambre todos los días. Si gastamos menos dinero en nosotros, tendremos más para darle a los pobres. La Cuaresma es un tiempo para exami-narnos a nosotros mismos y nuestros hábitos – ¿qué tan seguido gastamos dinero en lo que queremos, en vez de lo que necesitamos? Especialmente en la Cuaresma podemos preguntarnos: ¿Qué sacrifi-cio puedo hacer durante la Cuaresma para hacer un regalo más ge-neroso a las organizaciones de caridad que ayudan a los pobres, como “Operación Plato de Arroz”? ¡Que tengan una bendecida Temporada de Cuaresma! Padre Gary Zender

Catholic Home Missions Collection February 20th – 21st Spe-cial Collection: www.usccb.org/committees/catholic-home-missions Right now, over 40 percent of dioceses in the United States are considered home mission territory, because they are unable to fund the essential pastoral work needed in their com-munities. These dioceses face challenges due to priest shortages, lack of
funds, remote geography, or impoverished parishes. Through annual grants, the Catholic Home Mission Collection funds catechesis, seminarian education, lay ministry training, His-panic ministry and other pastoral programs. As a result of pa-rishioners’ generosity, Catholic Home Missions impacts the lives of nearly nine million Catholics in the United States.
