Wednesday, March 1st

is Ash Wednesday. Masses will be celebrated at 8:30am and 6pm in English and 8pm in Spanish. During lent we are called to repentance (conversion) and deepening our discipleship. We are to pray, fast and give

alms to lead us to conversion. To be a disciple of Jesus means to practice discipline and lent is our “practice” season. We “practice” by allowing our old selves to die so that a new person may be born in Christ at Easter. The practice of prayer, fasting and alms giving are non-negotiable for disciples of Christ and we practice these disciplines in an intense way during Lent knowing that to live as a true disciple of Christ we will be called upon to exercise them year-round. As we are deciding how we will fast this season we need to focus on why fasting is one of our disciplines. We are not to just substitute one food for another; eat a nice salmon dinner in place of a steak dinner. We are called to sacrifice, to deny ourselves of that which we do not truly need. This denial may come in the form of food or from those things in our lives which separate us from God. The time we spend being too busy for God; TV, computers, games. We might need to fast from unkind words and focus building up someone's confidence. Lenten Regulations: All Catholics 14 years and older must abstain from meat on the Fridays of Lent, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. All Catholics between ages 18 and 59 are to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. To fast means to eat one full meal; the other two meals that day should be less than the normal amount unless they are already at a minimum for good health. Eating between meals is not permitted; however, liquids including coffee, milk and fruit juices are allowed. Other items of interest on Ash Wednesday: Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday; Fat Tuesday, as it is known in Eng-lish, is a long-standing tradition of the Catholic Church and it marks the last day of ordinary time before the start of Lent, a time of fasting and repentance. As the Church anticipates the Season of Lent, the evening before Ash Wednesday is called "Fat Tuesday" or Shrove Tuesday. Rich foods are consumed as the faithful prepare for time of fasting, abstinence, confession and penance. Customs and practices arose for Fat Tuesday where people would empty their pantries of many items restricted during Lent. One of the terms often used with Mardi Gras is "carnival." Ironically, carnival comes from the Latin "carne vale" which means "farewell to meat" or "farewell to flesh" indicating the end to certain pleasures has come. When do I wash the Ashes off my face? There is no specific instruction on how long ashes are to be worn. You can, in fact, wash them off immediately after the service if you want. Many people choose to wear their ashes for the re-mainder of the day both as a reminder of their own mortality and as a witness before those around that they are a follow-er of Christ and are entering into a season of examination and abstinence. El miércoles, 1 de marzo es miércoles de ceniza. Las masas serán celebradas a las 8:30 y 18:00 en inglés y 20:00 en castellano. Durante la Cuaresma nos llaman al arrepentimiento (conversión) y la profundización de nuestro discipulado. Estamos para orar, rápido y dar limosnas para llevarnos a la conversión. Ser un discípulo de Jesús significa disciplina de práctica y la Cuaresma es la temporada de "práctica". Que "práctica" por permitir que nosotros mismos viejo a morir por lo que puede nacer una nueva persona en Cristo en Semana Santa. La práctica de la oración, el ayuno y la limosna no son negociables para los discípulos de Cristo y practicamos estas disciplinas de manera intensa durante Cuaresma sabien-do que a vivir como un verdadero discípulo de Cristo se exhortará para ejercerlos durante todo el año. Como estamos decidiendo cómo ayunamos esta temporada tenemos que centrarnos en por qué el ayuno es una de nuestras disciplinas. No debemos simplemente sustituir un alimento por otro; comer una buena cena salmón en lugar de una cena de bistec. Estamos llamados a sacrificar, a negarnos a nosotros mismos de lo que realmente no necesitamos. Esta negación puede venir en forma de alimentos o de las cosas en nuestras vidas que nos separan de Dios. El tiempo que pasamos de estar demasiado ocupado para Dios; TV, ordenadores, juegos. Podríamos necesitamos ayuna de palabras crueles y construcción de confianza de alguien. Regulaciones de la Cuaresma: los católicos 14 años y mayores deben abstenerse de carne los viernes de Cuaresma, miércoles de ceniza y Viernes Santo. Todos los católicos entre 18 y 59 años de edad deben ayunar el miércoles de ceniza y Viernes Santo. Para rápido significa comer una comida completa, las otras dos comidas ese día deben ser menor que la cantidad nor-mal a menos que ya sean como mínimo para una buena salud. No se permite comer entre comidas; sin embargo, se permiten líquidos como café, leche y jugos de fruta. Otros artículos de interés el miércoles de ceniza: Mardi Gras es el francés para grasa el martes; Martes gordo, como se le conoce en inglés, es una antigua tradición de la iglesia católica y marca el último día de ordinario antes del comienzo de la Cuaresma, un tiempo de ayuno y arrepentimiento. Como la iglesia anticipa la temporada de Cuaresma, la noche antes del miércoles de ceniza se llama "Martes gordo" o martes de carnaval. Se consumen alimentos ricos mientras los fieles se preparan para el tiempo de ayuno, la abstinencia, la confesión y la penitencia. Costumbres y prácticas se presentaron para grasa el martes donde personas vaciar sus despensas de muchos artículos restringidos durante la Cuaresma. Uno de los términos de uso frecuente con Mardi Gras es el "Carnaval." Irónicamente, carnaval proviene del latín "carne vale", que significa «adiós a la carne» o «Adiós a la carne» que indica el fin de ciertos placeres ha llegado. ¿ Cuando lo lave las cenizas de mi cara? No hay ninguna instrucción específica sobre cenizas cuánto deben llevarse. Ust-ed puede, de hecho, lavar inmediatamente después del servicio si quieres. Muchas personas optan por usar sus ceni-zas para el resto del día como un recordatorio de su propia mortalidad y como testimonio ante los demás es un seguidor de Cristo y están entrando en una época de examen y abstinencia.

Liturgy Corner: compiled by Pat Raschio (sources Formed, At Home With The

Word, Scott Hahn and Loyola Press, Sourcebook)

Today’s readings deal with trusting God and performing deeds of loving service to our neighbor. We are by nature prone to be anxious and troubled about many things. In today’s Gospel, Jesus confronts us with our most common fears. We are anxious mostly about how we will meet our material needs—for food and drink; for clothing; for security for tomorrow. Yet in seeking security and com-fort, we may unwittingly be handing ourselves over to servitude to “mammon,” Jesus warns. The Aramaic word mammon does not have a negative connotation. It means “property” or “money.” What Matthew is pointing out is that since hu-man beings are not self-sufficient, we are dependent on something outside our-selves. It should be God, not the material goods we own. This is not to say that we don’t need material goods. Jesus is not condemning wealth. Nor is he saying that we shouldn’t work to earn our daily bread or to make provisions for our fu-ture. But the reading goes on to remind us not to be anxious. The word “worry” is used 5 times in the passage. As our anxiety rises our trust in God drops. It is a question of priorities and goals. We are called to radical trust. Jesus insists that we need only to have faith in God and to trust in his Providence. Look at the beauty of nature. The birds and flowers are provided for by God, human beings are worth much more than these. How could God not provide for us as well? If what we place first in our lives is God’s kingdom and his justice, we will have what we need. Jesus calls us to an intense realism about our lives. For all our worrying, none of us change the span of our days. None of us has anything that we have not received as a gift from God. The readings pose a challenge to us. Spend time this week reflecting on these questions as you prepare for the Lenten season. What am I living for?

Where is God in my lives?

Do I really believe that God cares for me, that he alone can provide for all my needs?

Do I really trust that God is my rock and salvation?

Matthew concludes by reminding us to address each day’s problems as they come, confident that we are in God’s loving care. He is a loving father who holds the whole world in his hands. He will certainly care for us.

Esquina de liturgia: compilado por Pat Raschio (fuentes formada, en su

casa con la palabra, Scott Hahn y Loyola Press, libro de consulta) Las lecturas de hoy tratan de confiar en Dios y realizando actos de servicio amoroso a nuestro prójimo. Somos por naturaleza tienden a ser ansiosos y preocupados acer-ca de muchas cosas. En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús nos confronta con nuestros miedos más comunes. Estamos deseosos de sobre todo de cómo satisfacemos nues-tras necesidades materiales, de comida y bebida; para la ropa; de seguridad para el mañana. Sin embargo, en la búsqueda de seguridad y confort, nos podemos involun-tariamente se entrega nosotros mismos sobre a servidumbre a "mammon", Jesús ad-vierte. Las riquezas de la palabra aramea no tiene una connotación negativa. Que significa "propiedad" o "dinero". Lo que Mateo está señalando es que puesto que los seres humanos no son autosuficientes, somos dependientes de algo fuera de no-sotros mismos. Debe ser Dios, no los bienes materiales que poseemos. Esto es no quiere decir que no necesita bienes materiales. Jesús no está condenando la riqueza. Ni está diciendo que no debemos trabajar para ganar nuestro pan de cada día o a hacer previsiones para nuestro futuro. Pero la lectura va a recordarnos que no ser an-sioso. La palabra "preocupación" se utiliza 5 veces en el pasaje. Medida que aumenta nuestra ansiedad gotas de nuestra confianza en Dios. Es una cuestión de prioridades y objetivos. Estamos llamados a la confianza radical. Jesús insiste en que es nece-sario solamente tener fe en Dios y confiar en su Providencia. Mirada a la belleza de la naturaleza. Las aves y las flores son siempre para Dios, los seres humanos son vale mucho más que estos. ¿Cómo podría Dios no ofrecer para nosotros así? Si lo colo-camos primero en nuestras vidas es el Reino de Dios y su justicia, tendremos lo que necesitamos. Jesús nos llama a un realismo intenso sobre nuestras vidas. Para todos nuestra preocupación, ninguno de nosotros cambiar el lapso de nuestros días. Ningu-no de nosotros tiene algo que no hemos recibido como un don de Dios. Las lecturas plantean un desafío para nosotros. Pasar el tiempo esta semana reflexionando sobre estas preguntas mientras se prepara para la Cuaresma. ¿Qué estoy viviendo? En mi vida ¿Dónde está Dios? ¿ Realmente creo que Dios cuida de mí, que sólo él puede proporcionar para mis nece-sidades? confío realmente en que Dios es Mateo concluye recordándonos a abordar problemas de cada día donde los haya, se-guros que estamos en el cuidado amoroso de Dios. Él es un padre amoroso que tiene todo el mundo en sus manos. Sin duda él cuidará de nosotros.

Anointing of the Sick Mass Wednesday, March 15th, 2017

12:00 noon Afterwards lunch will be served in the Saalfeld Room.

*** Anointing of the Sick is the sacrament that is received by those who are ill or

suffering. By the sacred anointing and the prayer of the priest, the whole Church commends those who are sick to Christ. The sick person receives the Holy Spirit’s gifts of strength, faith, peace, and courage, and his or her suffer-

ing is united with the suffering of Christ for the building up of Church. (Catechism of the Catholic Church)

*** This Sacrament is for baptized Catholics who are elderly, or for those who

have serious health problems, mental, physical, and for those who will have major surgery. Your RSVP will be appreciated at 503-654-5449

Se trata de que hagas oración cada día. Todos los días puedes empezar el rato de oración con la "oración inicial para cada día"; después, leyendo con atención el "texto de cada día", char-las con Dios y con María; por último, terminar rezando la "oración final". Dos ideas previas: 1. PROHIBIDO CORRER: Es corto; no tengas prisa en acabar. No es leer y ya está. 2. LO QUE NO ESTÁ ESCRITO: ¿Sabes qué es lo mejor de este texto? Lo que no está escri-to y tú le digas; la conversación que tú, personalmente, tengas con Él. ORACIÓN INICIAL PARA CADA DÍA Señor mío, Jesucristo, creo firmemente que estás aquí; en estos pocos minutos de oración que empiezo ahora quiero pedirte y agradecerte.

PEDIRTE la gracia de darme más cuenta de que Tú vives, me escuchas y me amas; tanto, que has queri-do morir libremente por mí en la cruz y renovar cada día en la Misa ese sacrificio. Y AGRADECERTE con obras lo mucho que me amas: ¡ Tuyo soy, para ti nací ! ¿qué quieres, Señor, de mí?
