Dear Parishioners,�

Last week Governor Reynolds made an adjustment to the public

health measures in the State of Iowa. She has loosen some of

those restrictions such as masks. What does that mean for our

parish life? Nothing.��

The person who has ultimate authority in directing parish life is

Archbishop Jackels. Here is what he has stated about the

Governor’s most recent declaration.��

�

“On 5 February 2021, the Governor decreed that the

State of Iowa is still in a public health disaster emergency, to

continue at least until 7 March 2021.�

� The same decree recognizes that the risk of COVID�19

transmission is substantially reduced by taking appropriate

public health safety measures.�

� In fact, the Governor still strongly encourages that these

reasonable measures be taken throughout the State of Iowa, even

though there is no mandate.�

� Moreover, in some places, in spite of the Governor’s decree,

these public health safety measures are still mandated by City or

County ordinance.�

� With regard to Church�sponsored activities (Mass and meetings,

school and RE, just to name a few), the public health safety

measures will continue to be observed until the COVID�19

vaccine is available to all who are able to receive it, and the

CDC announces that the pandemic is under control:�

· � � � Stay home if you are sick, frail from age or illness, or

vulnerable.�

· � � � Wash your hands.�

· � � � Wear a mask.�

· � � � Avoid physical contact as much as possible.�

· � � � Keep a safe (social) distance from people outside your

household.�

· � � � Sanitize commonly�touched surfaces.�

· � � � In church, holy water fonts should be emptied,�

·� � � At Holy Mass, singing should be kept to a minimum,�

· � � � liturgical ministers should be kept to a few,�

��

The COVID is a very contagious and life�threatening virus. For

the love of God and neighbor, wear a mask even if it isn’t

mandated, and get vaccinated when it becomes available to you.”�

�

Practically speaking this does not change our practices.

One question that we had to address already is funeral dinners.

We will continue to forgo any funeral dinners in our parishes

until the Archbishop says otherwise.��

This week we begin Lent. Let us offer the

inconveniences of this restrictions as an expression of penance

and offer it for the healing of the world from the virus. �

�

God bless,�

�

�

�

�

�

�

�

All Daily Morning Masses will be canceled if there is a two

hour delay or cancellation of school.�

The Tuesday evening Mass will be offered regardless. �

If there is a Tuesday or Friday Funeral,�

the Daily Mass will be canceled. �

Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord

Reading 1: Leviticus 13:1�2, 44�46 �

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “If someone has on

his skin a scab or pustule or blotch which appears to be the

sore of leprosy, he shall be brought to Aaron, the priest, or

to one of the priests among his descendants. If the man is

leprous and unclean, the priest shall declare him unclean

by reason of the sore on his head. “The one who bears the

sore of leprosy shall keep his garments rent and his head

bare, and shall muffle his beard; he shall cry out,

‘Unclean, unclean!’ As long as the sore is on him he shall

declare himself unclean, since he is in fact unclean. He

shall dwell apart, making his abode outside the camp.”�

�

Responsorial Psalm:�

R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me

with the joy of salvation. �

�

Reading 2: 1 Corinthians 10:31�11:1�

Brothers and sisters, Whether you eat or drink, or what�

ever you do, do everything for the glory of God.�

Avoid giving offense, whether to the Jews or Greeks or��

the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in every

way, not seeking my own benefit but that of the many,�

that they may be saved. Be imitators of me, as I am of

Christ. �

Gospel: Mark 1:40�45�

A leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged him and

said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” Moved with

pity, he stretched out his hand,� touched him, and said to

him,� “I do will it. Be made clean.” The leprosy left him

immediately, and he was made clean. Then, warning him

sternly, he dismissed him at once.� He said to him, “See

that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the

priest� and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed;�

that will be proof for them.” The man went away and began

to publicize the whole matter. He spread the report abroad�

so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly.�

He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept

coming to him from everywhere.�

Ash Wednesday�

Reading 1: Joel 2:12�18 �

Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole

heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning; Rend your

hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your

God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in

kindness, and relenting in punishment. Perhaps he will

again relent and leave behind him a blessing, Offerings and

libations for the LORD, your God. Blow the trumpet in

Zion! proclaim a fast, call an assembly; Gather the people,

notify the congregation; Assemble the elders, gather the

children and the infants at the breast; Let the bridegroom

quit his room and the bride her chamber. Between the

porch and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the

LORD, weep, And say, “Spare, O LORD, your people, and

make not your heritage a reproach, with the nations ruling

over them! Why should they say among the peoples,

‘Where is their God?’” Then the LORD was stirred to

concern for his land and took pity on his people.�

�

Responsorial Psalm:�

R. Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned�

�

Reading 2: 2 Corinthians 5:20�6:2�

Brothers and sisters: We are ambassadors for Christ, as if

God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf

of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him

to be sin who did not know sin,� so that we might become

the righteousness of God in him. Working together, then,�

we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

For he says: In an acceptable time I heard you, and on the

day of salvation I helped you. Behold, now is a very

acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.�

�

Gospel: Matthew 6:1�6, 16�18�

Jesus said to his disciples: “Take care not to perform

righteous deeds in order that people may see them;

otherwise, you will have no recompense from your

heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a

trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues

and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to

you, they have received their reward. But when you give

alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is

doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your

Father who sees in secret will repay you. “When you pray,�

do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in

the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see

them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.

But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door,

and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees

in secret will repay you. “When you fast, do not look

gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance,

so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say

to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast,

anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not

appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden.

And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.”�

Profession of Faith:�

I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of

heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I

believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of

God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God,

Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not

made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things

were made. For us men and for our salvation he came

down from heaven [bow] and by the Holy Spirit was

incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our

sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered

death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in

accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come

again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his

kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the

Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and

the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and

glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in

one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one

Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to

the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to

come. Amen.�

1.� Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love;

hearts unfold like flow’rs before thee, op’ning to the sun

above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark

of doubt away. Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with

the light of day.�

2.� All thy works with joy surround thee, earth and heav’n

fountain, call us to rejoice in thee.�

�

#2 There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy #670�

1.� There’s a wideness in God’s mercy like the wideness of

the sea; there’s a kindness in his justice which is more

than liberty. There is plentiful redemption in the blood

that has been shed; there is joy for all the members in the

sorrows of the Head.�

2.� For the love of God is broader than the measures of our

mind, and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully

kind. If our love were but more simple we should take

him at his word, and our lives would be thanksgiving for

the goodness of our Lord.�

�

R.� Lay your hands gently upon us. Let their touch render

your peace. Let them bring your forgiveness and healing.

Lay your hands gently, lay your hands.�

to give sight to the blind. You desire to heal all our

illnesses. Lay your hands gently, lay your hands.�

2.� Lord, we come to you through one another. Lord, we

come to you in our need. Lord, we come to you seeking

wholeness. Lay your hands gently, lay your hands. �

�

#4 Loving and Forgiving #413�

R.� Loving and forgiving are you, O Lord; slow to anger, rich

in kindness, loving and forgiving are you. �

1.� All my being, bless the Lord, bless the holy name of God.

All my being, bless the Lord, rememb’ring the goodness

of God.�

2.� God forgives us all our sings, healing those who live in

pain, saving us from final death. God fills us with

goodness and love.�

3.� Good and gracious is the Lord, slow to anger, rich in

love. God remembers not our sins; forgiving and loving

is God.�

4.� As heaven soars above the earth, so great the love of God

for us. As far as east is from the west, the Lord takes our

sins from us.�

�

#5 Hosea #411�

1.� Come back to me with all your heart, don’t let fear keep

us apart. Trees do bend, though straight and tall; so must

we to others’ call.�

R.� Long have I waited for your coming home to me and

living deeply our new life.�

2.� The wilderness will lead you to your heart where I will

speak. Integrity and justice with tenderness you shall know.�

3.� You shall sleep secure with peace; faithfulness will be your

joy.�

�

#6 In the Breaking of the Bread #489�

R.� In the breaking of the bread we have known him; we have

been fed. Jesus the stranger, Jesus the Lord, be our

companion; be our hope.�

1.� Bread for the journey, strength for our years, manna of

ages, of struggle and tears. Cup of salvation, fruit of the

land, bless and receive now, the work of our hands.�

2.� Bread of the promise, people of hope, wine of compassion,

life for the world. Gathered at table, joined as his body,

sealed in the Spirit, sent by the Word.�

�

#7 Taste and See #511�

R.� Taste and see, taste and see the goodness of the Lord. O

taste and see, taste and see the goodness of the Lord, of the

Lord.�

1.� I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall always be

on my lips; my soul shall glory in the Lord for he has been

so good to me.�

2.� Glorify the Lord with me. Together let us all praise his

name. I called the Lord and he answered me from all my

troubles he set me free.�

3.� Worship the Lord, all you people. You’ll want for nothing

if you ask Taste and see that God is good; in him we need

put all our trust.�

�

#7 Though the Mountains May Fall #619�

R.� Though the mountains may fall and the hills turn to dust,

yet the love of the Lord will stand as a shelter for all who

will call on his name. Sing the praise and the glory of God.�

1.� Could the Lord ever leave you? Could the Lord forget his

love? Though a mother forsake her child, he will not

abandon you.�

2.� Should you turn and forsake him, he will gently call your

name. Should you wander away from him, he will always

take you back.�

�

#8 A Mighty Fortress #616�

1.� A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our

helper he amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing; for still

our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; his craft and

pow’r are great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not

his equal.�

2.� Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be

losing, were not the Savior on our side, the man of God’s

own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it

is he; Lord Sabaoth, his name, from age to age the same,

and he must win the battle.�
