R.C.I.A. The Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults
The R.C.I.A. is a process of spiritual
conversion and growth, over time, in one’s
relationship with God and the Church.
It is a faith journey where adults are fully welcomed into
the Catholic Church. If you’re interested in exploring a
relationship with Jesus Christ; inquiring about the Catholic
Church; becoming Catholic; and being fully initiated into
the Catholic Church through the celebration of the
Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation & Eucharist,
WE WELCOME YOU!
For more information about the R.C.I.A. process,
please contact Deacon Bob at the Church Office.

LENTEN
REGULATIONS 2015
Lent begins Ash Wednesday,
February18, 2015
Masses will be
8:00 AM, 12:00 Noon, 6:00 PM
8:30 PM (In Spanish)
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast. On
days of fast, one full meal is allowed. Two lesser 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.
Catholics who have completed their 18th year are bound
by this law until the beginning of their 60th year.
Ash Wednesday and Fridays of Lent are also days of
abstinence. On days of abstinence, meats should not be
taken at any meal. The law of abstinence binds all
Catholics who have completed their 14th year.
The Obligation to observe, as a whole or "substantially",
the penitential days specified by the Church is a serious
obligation. The Code of Canon Law states:
"On these days of Penance, the faithful are in a special
manner to devote themselves to prayer, to engage in
works of piety and charity, to deny themselves, by
fulfilling their obligations more faithfully and especially by
observing the fast and abstinence…"
May this Holy Lenten season provide us an opportunity
for deepening our faith, hope and love through a life of deeper
prayer, penitential practices, and works of charity.

Welcome the Visiting Madonna - While we are
encouraged to embrace Jesus’ cross, perhaps the next best
thing we can do as the faithful is to turn to the Blessed
Mother for guidance…”Blessed Mother, please help me.” As
human beings, we can’t do everything. But the Blessed
Mother can go to her Son Jesus and do wonders.
The Knights of Columbus are offering intimate prayer
devotions in your own homes to all parishioners so that
every family may experience visitation for one week from
our Visiting Madonna. Families will begin to experience a
sense of peace, quiet and reflection while saying the Rosary
as a family with Our Lady. The family that prays together
stays together.
If you are interested in participating in
welcoming the Visiting Madonna, please call Sam Konrad at
(843) 399-7003 or email him at [email protected].
This week, The Visiting Madonna will be presented to
John & Elaine Bruno at the 8:00 AM Mass.

CUARTO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
JESUS CURA A UN ENFERMO POSEIDO POR "EL ESPIRITU DEL MAL"
(Evangelio de San Marcos 1, 21-28)
Queridos Hermanos:
Jesucristo rodeado de algunos discípulos, emprende su acción pastoral,
donde anuncia y hace presente el Reino de Dios. Y lo hace con
palabras, obras y acciones. Su primera acción pastoral, tiene una
dimensión liberadora y de ilegalidad. Liberadora, porque es contra lo
inhumano, contra los poderes que oprimen y marginan a la persona
humana. De "ilegalidad", porque se realiza en Sábado, yendo en contra
de las normas y leyes judías. Un hombre poseído por un "espíritu
inmundo", es el favorecido, el sanado, el curado. El lugar donde sucedió
este maravilloso acontecimiento fue Cafarnaún, pequeña ciudad a orillas
del lago de Galilea, cruce de culturas, punto fronterizo y cosmopolita,
este lugar se convertirá en el centro de operaciones y trabajo pastoral de
Jesús.
Jesús no teme curar en Sábado y en la Sinagoga, desafiando así, a los
apegados a las leyes y normas judías; no teme enfrentarse a quienes se
niegan aceptar su mensaje; el pueblo claramente distingue que su
enseñanza es superior a la enseñanza de los otros maestros.
Jesús demuestra que puede destruír el mal. Toda la actividad pastoral de
Jesús es una lucha contra el mal. El mundo de Jesús y el mundo de la
opresión son irreconciliables. El mal sabe quien es Jesús e intenta dominarlo pero no puede. Jesús hace callar el
"espíritu inmundo", le ordena salir de aquel hombre, sin embargo, sale gritando haciendo retorcer aquel hombre y
dándole un golpe. Quien asume un compromiso serio con Jesús recibirá golpes, porque eso significa cambio en todo
sentido y de una manera positiva.
Jesús es calificado por el pueblo, como Aquel Maestro, que trae un nuevo modo de enseñar con Autoridad. La
enseñanza de Jesús, nos compromete a ayudar a los débiles, pobres, enfermos y marginados. El trabajo pastoral de Jesús
libera y sana.
Como cristianos seguidores de Jesús, hemos de traducir este milagro, a nuestro tiempo actual, es decir, humanizando a
los oprimidos y marginados, a causa de la soberbia y orgullo de otros. Demos a conocer el mensaje de Jesucristo con
nuestro ejemplo y testimonio de vida, mostrando siempre su misericordia divina para con todos.
Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que Ella nos ayude, a vivir y realizar el Gran Milagro del Amor, allí donde nos
encontremos. Amándonos los unos a los otros así como Dios nos
ha amado.
Dios los bendiga.
Padre Orlando.
