LENTEN REGULATIONS
Abstinence – Catholics over 14 years of age are bound to the
obligation of abstinence. Abstinence is to be observed on Ash
Wednesday and on all Fridays of Lent. On days of abstinence,
meat may not be eaten at all.
Fast – Catholics over 18 and up to the beginning of their 60th
year are bound to the obligation of fasting. Ash Wednesday and
Good Friday are the days of fasting. On these days, only one full
meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but
together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between
meals is not permitted, but liquids are allowed.
These Lenten regulations state the minimum requirements. Other recommended practices during this season include participating in daily Mass and fasting on other days.
40 DAYS FOR LIFE: FEBRUARY 10 – MARCH 20
You are invited to join other Christians for 40 days of prayer and
fasting for an end to abortion. From February 10-March 20, you
are invited to stand and peacefully pray during a 40-day vigil in
the public right-of-way outside Planned Parenthood at 1055
Commonwealth Ave. in Boston from 7:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m.
Candlelight vigils take place on Fridays at 7:00 p.m. (English),

ADULT CONFIRMATION CLASSES
Any baptized adult who wishes to receive instruction for the
reception of first holy communion and confirmation is welcome
to contact Father Michael if you wish to attend classes or have
any questions. This invitation goes out to those baptized in the
Catholic Church as well as to anyone who was baptized in
another Christian denomination but who wants to learn whether
they are being called to become Catholic.
CATHOLIC APPEAL 2016
If you have not seen the inspiring, brief video about the 2016
Catholic appeal, it is on the parish website at stmarywaltham.org
or at bostoncatholicappeal.org. Thank you for your support.
WORLD DAY OF THE SICK– PROXY FORMS
Last Thursday, February 11 was the Feast of Our Lady of
Lourdes. It is also celebrated as the World Day of the Sick. It
may seem strange to ‘celebrate’ a day for the sick but as I
learned when I visited Lourdes, the sick are ‘VIPs’ and we can
never do enough to combat sickness and care for those who are
ill. The Catholic Health Initiatives for Uganda (CHIU) hosted a
special day of prayer for the sick and had an information session
to help the sick. One of the info sheets was a Health Care proxy
form that takes in to account your physical, moral, and spiritual
needs in the event that you cannot make health care decisions for
yourself. There are copies of these forms at the doors of the
Church. You may take them for your personal use. You are
recommended to make copies of them and give them to your
doctor and necessary persons if you fill them out.
PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
The next meeting of St. Mary’s Prayer Shawl Ministry is
Saturday, February 20 at 2:30 at St. Mary Apartments. The
members knit or crochet shawls that are given to persons who are
ill or experiencing crisis. For more information contact Mary
Alice McMahon at 781-899-9726.
SERRA CLUB OF BOSTON
Serra Club is a group of Catholic laypersons dedicated to
encouraging, promoting, and affirming vocations to the
priesthood and religious life. The next meeting is Saturday, Feb.
20 at St. Mary’s (2nd floor of Rel. Ed. building) at 8:30 a.m.
ON THE BULLETIN COVER
Crux Gemmata: The Jeweled Cross
One of the most ancient representations of the cross of Christ is a
form known as “crux gemmata”: the jeweled cross. The shape
recalls the Lord’s passion, suffering and death on the cross. The
jewels signify the glorious victory after death which Christ won
for us. Children of the St. Agnes and St. Michael catechetical
classes have been making a jeweled cross for their family home.
This beautiful example was made by Monica Zecena who was
received into the Church last year.
First Sunday of Lent
February 14, 2016
SAINT MARY PARISH
My brothers and sisters in Christ,
This Sunday eight catechumens from our parish are going to
the Cathedral of the Holy Cross for the annual Rite of Election.
They will be ‘elected’ and ‘have elected themselves’ to
becoming Catholics. They will be joined by Christians who were
baptized in other denominations but desire to become Catholics
and receive the sacrament of confirmation. This ceremony is in
the Church of the Archbishop which helps us remember that we
are not just connected to our own parish but are in communion
with Catholics all over the world though our Archbishop
O’Malley and Pope Francis, the successor of St. Peter. The Faith
is Apostolic. Please pray for Anthony, Damien, Jesus, Josue,
Kevin C., Kevin O., Luis, and Tracey as they enter this next
stage of initiation into the Mysteries of God. – Father Michael
ST. FRANCIS CHILDREN’S CLOTHING DRIVE
The children in the After School Program – in wanting to
perform the corporal works of mercy – are holding a children’s
clothing drive at the end of the month. They have been learning
how St. Francis of Assisi always gave his own clothes away and
asked others to donate their own clothes to beggars. The clothing
drive will run from February 22 until March 13. There will be
drop off points in the back of the Church and at the front door of
the Rel. Ed. Building. They are collecting shoes, coats,
outerwear, and clothes for children ages 2-12. They will only
accept socks and underwear that is new. The Clothing will be
distributed to parents and children through the Saint Vincent de
Paul Society and hopefully a church in Guatemala.
ANNUAL BABY SHOWER
Join the Archdiocesan Parish Family Baby Shower at St. Mary
Parish on February 13 and 14. Please bring an unwrapped baby
gift to Mass that weekend. Baby items that are needed include:
layette nightgowns, baby sleep bags, baby bottles, newborn
disposable diapers, diaper bags, size small sleep and play
clothing (sizes 0-3 months or 3-6 months), sweaters, crib sheets
for Pack & Play, socks, pacifiers, toiletries, diaper rash ointment,
shampoo, body wash (no baby powder), baby bath towels &
facecloths, baby health & grooming items, maternity clothes. All
proceeds benefit Pregnancy Help Office, Archdiocese of Boston.
Monetary donations are acceptable, too. Please make checks
payable to Fund for the Unborn.
PRAYERS FOR PEACEFUL ELECTIONS IN UGANDA
Today the Ugandan Catholic Community in the Archdiocese of
Boston (UCCB) has organized prayers for peaceful general
elections in Uganda. We call upon all Ugandans and friends of
Uganda living in Massachusetts and neighboring states to join us
today at 1:30 p.m. at St. Mary Parish. We are praying for our
country ahead of the General Elections that will take place on
Feb 18. We have all read or heard the uncertainties going on in
our society back home. Please join us in prayer to do the little we
can for our country.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
In today’s Gospel, Jesus overcomes the temptations to wealth,
power and esteem. As we begin Lent, may we open our hearts to
the grace of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
During Lent, may we open our hearts to the grace of prayer,
fasting and almsgiving. Please place your donation in the St.
Vincent de Paul Poor Box at the church doors.
For the grace to be detached from wealth, Jesus we turn to you.
For the grace to be detached from power, Jesus we turn to you.
For the grace to be detached from esteem, Jesus we turn to you.
Amen.

Primer Domingo de Cuaresma
14 de Febrero de 2016
SAINT CHARLES PARISH
My brothers and sisters in Christ,
I hope you have a good start to Lent. May the disciplines of
prayer, fasting and almsgiving over these forty days renew and
strengthen you friendship with Christ. Sometimes we begin Lent
strong but then weaken. That is ok. The key is not getting down
or giving up. Penitential practices stretch and test us. The
important thing is to start again or make some more effort when
we want to give up. It is also important to remember to call upon
Jesus for help at these times rather than just working on
ourselves. Lent is not self– help. It is asking Christ for help
because he is the only one who loved perfectly and until the end.
No one prayed, fasted or loved better than Jesus of Nazareth. .
Please also consider going to the sacrament of Confession early
in Lent. Our sins and fears and past weigh us down. The grace of
the sacrament heals and strengthens. Your soul will be stronger
and your friends and family will thank you. Have a blessed Lent.
– Father Michael
SATURDAY CONFESSIONS IN LENT
There are confessions from 9:30 a.m.–3:45 p.m. during the
Saturdays of Lent at St. Mary’s. Bishops and priests sometimes
lament that people do not go to Confession. Sometimes this leads
parishes to schedule fewer times for confession. Yet this does not
solve the problem. The solution is to make Confession more
available. So come, even if it has been a long time… even if you
are not sure what to do when you enter the confessional. The
priest will help you. Spend some time examining your
conscience and let any wounds from the past be healed.
HEALING MASS MARCH 3
There will be a Healing Mass on Thursday March 3 at 7:00 p.m.
in the chapel. Healing Masses take place on the first Thursday of
each month. All are welcome to join us for prayer for physical,
spiritual or emotional healing.

THE NAME OF GOD IS MERCY – POPE FRANCIS
Pope Francis has put together a book on Mercy. It is very helpful. For the rest of the year of Mercy, we will be inserting
some of his thoughts. The book is written in a question and answer format.
Q: Holy Father, you m ention that today m any people go to fortune-tellers. But has that not always been the case?
A: Yes, of cour se, ther e have always been soothsayer s, diviner s, and for tune-tellers. But not as many people looked
to them for spiritual health and healing as they do today. Mostly, people are looking for someone to listen to them.
Someone willing to grant them time, to listen to their dramas and difficulties. This is what I call the “apostolate of the
ear,” and it is important. Very important. I feel compelled to say to confessors: talk, listen with patience, and above all tell people that
God loves them. And if the confessor cannot absolve a person, he needs to explain why, he needs to give them a blessing, even without
the holy sacrament. The love of God exists even for those who are not disposed to receive it: that man, that woman, that boy, or that
girl – they are all loved by God, they are sought out by God, they are in need of blessing. Be tender with these people. Do not push
them away. People are suffering. It is a huge responsibility to be a confessor. Confessors have before them the lost sheep that God
loves so much; if we don’t show them the love and mercy of God, we push them away and perhaps they will never come back. So embrace them and be compassionate, even if you can’t absolve them. Give them a blessing anyway. I have a niece who was married to a
man in a civil wedding before he received the annulment of his previous marriage. They wanted to get married, they loved each other,
they wanted children, and they had three. The judge had even awarded him custody of the children from his first marriage. This man
was so religious that every Sunday, when he went to Mass, he went to the confessional and said to the priest, “I know you can’t absolve
me but I have sinned by doing this and that, please give me a blessing.” This is a religiously mature man.

First Sunday of Lent
Queridos hermanos en Cristo:
El miércoles pasado iniciamos la cuaresma, el tiempo en el
que nos preparamos para la celebración de la Vida, Pasión,
Muerte y Resurrección de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo. La Cuaresma es un tiempo de Penitencia, la oración el ayuno y las limosnas para los pobres son acciones concretas que nos ayudan a solidarizarnos los unos con los otros.
Hay muchas personas que cada año ofrecen sacrificios personales y prometen abstenerse del alcohol, de su comida favorita,
de los dulces y postres y lo comentan con la familia y amigos:
“Prometí no beber alcohol o alguna otra cosa y tú? Yo prometí
dejar los chocolates… Y así nos damos cuenta de los sacrificios
que muchas personas hacen y que en principio están bien pero
que también hay que recordar que Dios ve todo lo que hacemos y
lo que dejamos de hacer y El que ve las verdaderas intenciones
del corazón te premiará ésos pequeños o grandes sacrificios…
Este año tendremos en la Parroquia Misas en español de lunes
a viernes a las siete de la noche y viacrucis a las 6:00 PM. Por
primera vez tendremos “Cuaresmales” que son reflexiones sobre
el porqué de la Cuaresma. Seguramente muchos recordarán ésta
tradición de los países Hispanos que muchas veces toman todas
las semanas de la cuaresma y van dirigidas a hombres, mujeres,
matrimonios, jóvenes, niños etc. Nosotros solo tendremos Una
reflexión cuaresmal para mujeres el 17 de febrero, otra para
hombres el 24, para jóvenes, hombres y mujeres 9 de Marzo y el
16 para Todos, niños, niñas, padres de familia y/o tutores, o sea
para TODOS.
Ojalá que participen y con sus oraciones, entusiasmo y devoción celebremos la Cuaresma, Semana Santa y la Pascua como
buenos cristianos.
– P. A gustín
