The description of the calendar and the rules for the Liturgical Year are stated in the

document General Norms of the Liturgical Calendar. For Lent there are special

applications:

56f. The cycle of the liturgical year should stand out with its full preeminence, but at

the same time the celebration of the saints should not be permanently impeded.

Therefore, dates that most of the time fall during…should remain free of any particu-

lar celebration, unless it is a question of optional memorials, feasts found in the Table

of Liturgical Days under no. 8 a, b, c, d, or solemnities that cannot be transferred to

another season. The solemnity of Saint Joseph (19 March), except where it is ob-

served as a holyday of obligation, may be transferred by the conferences of bishops

to another day outside Lent.

60. If several celebrations fall on the same day, the one that holds the highest rank

according to the preceding Table of Liturgical Days is observed. But a solemnity

impeded by a liturgical day that takes precedence over it should be transferred to the

closest day not listed in nos. 1-8 in the table of precedence; the rule of no. 5 remains

in effect. Other celebrations are omitted that year.[m][R14]

[R14] Query: What is the method for transferring solemnities impeded by a liturgical

day that takes precedence?

Reply: the general rule is that impeded solemnities are transferred to the nearest day

(see General Norms . . . no. 60). But solemnities that happen to fall on the Sundays of

Advent and Lent sometimes are not transferable to the day following: for example,

when the solemnity of Saint Joseph or of the Annunciation of the Lord fall on Palm

Sunday and then would have to be celebrated two weeks later. Accordingly, to ease

such problems the General Norms no. 5 establish that solemnities that during Advent

and Lent may fall on a Sunday are to be celebrated as a rule on the preceding Satur-

day. But when the Saturday is not free of those celebrations listed in the table of

precedence nos. 1-8, the general principle in no. 60 may be followed: Notitiae 6

(1970) 405, no. 44. See also note R12.

Various saints’ days during Lent all become optional memorials, and unless there are

special circumstances, the liturgical color should remain violet. There are two solemnities

that almost always fall during Lent, the Solemnity of St. Joseph and the Annunciation of

the Lord. The latter falls during Holy Week this year, so the Annunciation is celebrated on

Monday, April 8, the second week of Easter. St. Patrick’s feast is not celebrated since it

falls on Sunday.

The readings for 2013 are Cycle C, mostly from the Gospel of Luke.

This supplement includes separate pages for the Sundays of Lent and

the two solemnities. These can be inserted in the Lent for Children

display.

In some parishes with an RCIA program, Cycle A readings are read

on certain Sundays, so some of the Sundays in this supplement might

not be needed.

Temptation on the Mount, 1308-11, Duccio di Buoninsegna

Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the

Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil. He ate nothing

during those days, and when they were over he was hungry. The devil said to him,

“If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

Jesus answered him, “It is written, One does not live on bread alone.”

--Luke 1:4-13

5: First Sunday of Lent

Loyalty

Satan was very bold with Jesus in the desert. He is

bold with us, too. He suggests nasty, wrong things to

us. He tells us no one will know if we do them. When

He was tempted, Jesus replied: “Begone, Satan.”

Jesus wants us to be quick in saying: “Begone,

Satan—leave me alone—I belong to Jesus.” When

we treat the tempter so, we become dearer to Jesus

than if we had never been tempted. He sees we are

loyal to Him. Learning when to say NO makes our

souls strong.

Say often through the day:

Begone! I’ll say, when Satan bids me sin.

And since I fight for Heaven, I shall win.


The Statue of Saint Peter, c. 1300, Arnolfo di Cambio

Feast of the Chair of St. Peter

And so I say to you, you are Peter,

and upon this rock I will build my Church,

and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.

I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven.

Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven;

and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” --Mt 16:13-19

10: Friday First Week of Lent

Feast of Chair of St. Peter, February 22, 2013

Hearts

Would you like to find God? Well, God is in your own

heart—right inside your own soul. He waits for you to

speak to Him, to think His Name—“Jesus!”—to call

Him “Best of Friends”—“Sacred Heart”—Heart of

Goodness”—“My Helper”—and every other sweet

name your love can think of:

Every thought you give Him will cause Him to grow

in you until the happy moment comes when you, too,

can repeat St. Paul’s words: “I live—now, not I—but

Christ liveth in me.”


My heart is Heaven for God and men—

We there converse unceasingly.

The Transfiguration, 1440-42, Fra Angelico

Jesus took Peter, John, and James and went up the mountain to pray. While he was

praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white.

And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared

in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem…. While Peter was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and

they became frightened when they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a

voice that said, “This is my chosen Son; listen to him.” After the voice had spoken,

Jesus was found alone. They fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what

they had seen. Luke 9:28-36

12: Second Sunday of Lent

Happiness

Up into a high mountain Our Lord took three of His

Apostles. He wanted to have them all to Himself, so

that He could show them His glory. Then He became

Transfigured. “His face shone as the sun and His

garments became as white as snow.” A voice was

heart—yet, looking up, the wondering three saw no

one, but only Jesus. When they saw Him as He really

was, they cried in their exceeding joy: “Lord, it is

good for us to be here.”

That cry was an act of perfect happiness. It tells us

that happiness is being with and possessing Jesus.


I have a secret, Lord, for Thee:

Thou art all Happiness for me.


The Vine Dresser and the Fig Tree, James Tissot

And he told them this parable:

“There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he

came in search of fruit on it but found none, he said to the gardener, ‘For three

years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none.

So cut it down. Why should it exhaust the soil?’

He said to him in reply,

‘Sir, leave it for this year also, and I shall cultivate the ground around it and

fertilize it; it may bear fruit in the future. If not you can cut it down.’”

Luke 13:1-9

19: Third Sunday of Lent

Returning

In yesterday’s Gospel, Our Lord told us the story of

the Prodigal Son—the young man who took his

fortune and left his home to go with bad companions.

He fell into sin and poverty. Oh! but that blessed

moment in the boy’s life when he made up his mind to

go back to his father! What greeted him on arriving?

Love—the love of a tender, forgiving father!

By Confessions, we return to Our Father. His kiss of

peace is given. Once more He gathers us into His

arms in a loving embrace.


O Jesus, give me true contrition;

This today is my one petition.


Return of the Prodigal Son, 1677-80, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo

“A man had two sons, and the younger son said to his father, ‘Father give me the

share of your estate that should come to me.’ So the father divided the property

between them. After a few days, the younger son collected all his belongings

and set off to a distant country where he squandered his inheritance on a life of

dissipation….Coming to his senses he thought, ‘How many of my father’s hired

workers have more than enough food to eat, but here am I, dying from hunger. I

shall get up and go to my father….” So he got up and went back to his father.

While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him, and was filled

with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him. His son said to

him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to

be called your son.’ But his father ordered his servants, ‘Quickly bring the finest

robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Take the

fattened calf and slaughter it. Then let us celebrate with a feast, because this son of

mine was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and has been found.’

Luke 15:1-3,-11-32

26: Fourth Sunday of Lent

Face to Face

Some day I shall behold Jesus as my Judge. His very

glance will say “Passed”—or “Failed.” Oh, the eternal

pain of failing in His school!

When I go to Confession, it is as if Jesus placed my

Life Book with its spotted pages in my hands, saying,

“Child, erase the marks now!” O Jesus, help me to do

this so carefully and sincerely that when in my last

hour Holy Church in her parting prayer says “Go, I

will hear Thy first loving word—“Come!”


O Jesus, when my life is ending,

May You a “Welcome Home” be sending!


St. Joseph and the Christ Child, 1597-99, El Greco

When his parents saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to

him, “Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been

looking for you with great anxiety.” And he said to them, “Why were you

looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

But they did not understand what he said to them. He went down with them

and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. Luke 2:41-51

27: March 19: Solemnity of St. Joseph,

Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Thanksgiving

O my God, sometimes I feel I just cannot stop

thanking You. It makes me so happy just to keep

repeating “I thank You. I want to live thanking You,

and please let me die thanking You.” I love to count

up all the things I should be grateful for; and to please

You by composing my own Litany of Gratitude.

Some of the favors are Your secrets and mine. This

Lent I will keep thinking about them. I will look often

at the crucifix. I will remember You were nailed to the

Cross to save me.


O, I’d like to be a thanksgiving song,

Singing to Jesus the whole day long!


Christ & the Woman Taken in Adultery, c. 1565, Pieter the Elder Brugel

Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. But early in the morning he arrived again in the

temple area, and all the people started coming to him, and he sat down and taught

them. Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in

adultery and made her stand in the middle. They said to him, “Teacher, this woman

was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law, Moses

commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?”They said this to test

him, so that they could have some charge to bring against him.

Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger. But when they

continued asking him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let the one among

you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again he bent down

and wrote on the ground. And in response, they went away one by one, beginning

with the elders. So he was left alone with the woman before him.

Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one

condemned you?”She replied, “No one, sir.” Then Jesus said, “Neither do I

condemn you. Go, and from now on do not sin any more.” John 8:1-11

33: Passion Sunday (5th

Sunday of Lent)

The Divine Mender

Days there are when all things seem to go wrong. We

make mistakes, we displease others, we get angry or

pouty, and say and do things we are so sorry for

afterwards.

Is there any way to mend mistakes we have made—to

mend hearts we have hurt, to undo tangles and knots

that nobody on this earth can undo for us? Yes, Our

Lord is the Divine Mender! He mends even while we

sleep. He loves to be asked to “repair” for us. Such

miracles He will work for you if you show Him what

needs mending!


Jesus, Repairer, repair for me,

Mend my mistakes whatever they be!


Entry of Christ into Jerusalem, c. 1620, Pedro Orrente

And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying

this colt?”They answered, “The Master has need of it.” So they brought it to Jesus,

threw their cloaks over the colt, and helped Jesus to mount. As he rode along, the

people were spreading their cloaks on the road; and now as he was approaching

the slope of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of his disciples began to

praise God aloud with joy for all the mighty deeds they had seen. They pro-

claimed: “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven

and glory in the highest.” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him,

“Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” He said in reply, “I tell you, if they keep silent,

the stones will cry out!”

Luke 19:28-40

40: Palm Sunday

Changing Scenes

How dreadfully foolish it is to be entirely taken up

with this fleeting world—where everything is

changing and moving on. It is all passing away just as

quickly as the pictures on the movie screen. Palm

Sunday reminds us that human hearts change too.

Those who on Sunday hailed Our Lord as King and

greeted Him with glad hosannas, were the very ones

who, four days later, mocked and abused Him and

cried: “Crucify Him!” There is only One Heart that

never changes and always loves, and that is the Sacred

Heart of Jesus.


Oh Sacred Heart, I place my trust in Thee!

I know that always You will care for me!
