MIERCOLES DE CENIZA
para recordar y celebrar la muerte y resurrec-ción de Jesús. La Cuaresma consta de los cuarenta días antes del Domingo de Resurrección, sin contar los domingos. Es un tiempo especial de recogimiento espiritual, ayuno y reflexión en el que se enfatizan la moderación y el arrepentimiento. Durante los 40 días de Cuaresma es común abstenerse de cosas como la comida, el ocio u otras distracciones para enfocarse en el arrepentimiento y en dejar atrás los excesos. Sin embargo, debe-mos tener claro que no hay ninguna penitencia o sacrificio que podamos hacer para merecer o ganar el perdón de nuestros pe-cados. Somos perdonados por la gracia de Dios a través de Jesús y su sacrificio en la cruz. No hay ningún esfuerzo humano que nos pueda asegurar la vida eterna.
2ªCOLECTA PARA EUROPA CENTRAL Y ORIENTAL El Miercoles de Ceniza realizaremos la Colecta para la Iglesia en Europa Central y Oriental. Esta colecta apoya en más de 20 países que aún siguen luchando para recuperarse del régimen comunista. Los fondos financian el cuidado pasto-ral, la catequesis, la renovación de sus edificaciones y la for-mación de seminaristas.
RECORDATORIO Solo un recordatorio, de que es temporada de impuestos y la oficina de impuestos al cruzar la calle Washington, está abierta los 7 días de la semana y miembros de nuestra parroquia, se estacionan frente a la Puerta. Por favor respetemos sus clientes. Si llega demasiado, se remolcarán los autos.
R.I.C.A. Habra una junta para todos los candidatos y padrinos de R.I.C.A., el Sabádo 29 de Febrero de 8 am a la 1 pm, en el salón Aquinas es muy importante que asistan.
