ST. VINCENT de PAUL
In the Gospel today, we find that Jesus would rise very
early before dawn and go to a deserted place to pray and
then he went out to preach and to heal.
Please pray for the poor and suffering, knowing that you
are bringing the love and peace of Jesus to those who live
in fear and doubt, loneliness and dread.
For the grace to pray privately and to pray together, Lord,
hear us! For the grace to serve the poor with dedication and
faithfulness, Lord, hear us! For the grace to support and
care for each other in our Conference, Lord, hear us! For
the grace to be balanced and effective Vincentians after the
heart of St. Vincent, Lord, hear us! Amen.
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.
CATHOLIC APPEAL
This past week, many of you received a letter from Cardinal
Seán requesting your support of the 2015 Catholic Appeal.
Please prayerfully consider making an early pledge. St.
Mary’s directly benefits from the ministries supported by the
Appeal and your gift will help us reach our 2015 goal. You
may mail your pledge or visit give online at
www.bostoncatholicappeal.org. Thank you!
These Lenten regulations state the minimum requirements.
Other recommended practices during this season include
participating in daily Mass and fasting on other days.

“The love that brings new life into the world”
– Rabbi Sacks on the institution of marriage
continued from last week
All this led to the seventh outcome, that in Judaism the home and the family became the central setting of the
life of faith. In the only verse in the Hebrew Bible to explain why God chose Abraham, He says: “I have
known him so that he will instruct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by
doing what is right and just.” Abraham was chosen not to rule an empire, command an army, perform
miracles or deliver prophecies, but simply to be a parent.
In one of the most famous lines in Judaism, which we say every day and night, Moses commands, “You shall
teach these things repeatedly to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house or when you
walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise up.” Parents are to be educators, education is the
conversation between the generations, and the first school is the home.
So Jews became an intensely family oriented people, and it was this that saved us from tragedy. After the
destruction of the Second Temple in the year 70, Jews were scattered throughout the world, everywhere a
minority, everywhere without rights, suffering some of the worst persecutions ever known by a people and
yet Jews survived because they never lost three things: their sense of family, their sense of community and
their faith.
And they were renewed every week especially on Shabbat, the day of rest when we give our marriages and
families what they most need and are most starved of in the contemporary world, namely time. I once
produced a television documentary for the BBC on the state of family life in Britain, and I took the person
who was then Britain’s leading expert on child care, Penelope Leach, to a Jewish primary school on a Friday
morning.
There she saw the children enacting in advance what they would see that evening around the family table.
There were the five year old mother and father blessing the five year old children with the five year old
grandparents looking on. She was fascinated by this whole institution, and she asked the children what they
most enjoyed about the Sabbath. One five year old boy turned to her and said, “It’s the only night of the
week when daddy doesn’t have to rush off.” As we walked away from the school when the filming was over
she turned to me and said, “Chief Rabbi, that Sabbath of yours is saving their parents’ marriages.”
So that is one way of telling the story, a Jewish way, beginning with the birth of sexual reproduction, then
the unique demands of human parenting, then the eventual triumph of monogamy as a fundamental statement
of human equality, followed by the way marriage shaped our vision of the moral and religious life as based
on love and covenant and faithfulness, even to the point of thinking of truth as a conversation between lover
and beloved. Marriage and the family are where faith finds its home and where the Divine Presence lives in
the love between husband and wife, parent and child.
What then has changed? Here’s one way of putting it. I wrote a book a few years ago about religion and
science and I summarised the difference between them in two sentences. “Science takes things apart to see
how they work. Religion puts things together to see what they mean.” And that’s a way of thinking about
culture also. Does it put things together or does it take things apart?

TREASURES OF THE CHURCH - FEBRUARY 27
St. Mary Parish presents a teaching and exposition of Sacred
Relics on Friday February 27 at 7:00 p.m. Father Carlos
Martins of the Companions of the Cross will be here with his
very special ministry to teach about these holy objects. He
will bring with him over 150 relics, some as old as 2000
years. Among the treasures will be relics of St. Maria
Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux (the “Little Flower"), St.
Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas
Aquinas, and St. Faustina Kowalska. In addition, there will
also be present a portion of the veil of Our Lady, as well as
one of the largest remaining pieces of the True Cross in the
world. Those in attendance will be able to examine and
venerate each relic. In the Church’s history many miracles
and healings have been worked in the presence of relics, and
many have been healed through this ministry. Please do not
miss this opportunity. You are encouraged to bring your
articles of devotion (such as rosaries, holy cards, etc.) and
pictures of ill friends/family members which you will be
able to touch to the reliquaries as a means of intercession.

Queridos hermanos en Cristo:
Cuando alguien va al cine o a algún evento en el que se
está interesado, la persona calcula el tiempo en llegar, buscar
estacionamiento para el auto y prepararse para disfrutar unos
momentos agradables. A nadie le gusta llegar al cine cuando
la película ya comenzó o a la mitad. Si así pensamos y
actuamos, ¿no deberíamos planear en serio nuestra llegada,
asistencia y salida de la Misa? Especialmente cuando
nosotros serviremos en ella como Ministros Extraordinarios
de la Eucaristía, lectores, acólitos, en el coro etc. La regla
general nos dice que hay que llegar 15 minutos antes a la
iglesia.
En general los fieles deben estar en la Iglesia antes de que
el Sacerdote salga de la Sacristía y salir de la Iglesia hasta
que el sacerdote y los servidores hayan terminado la
procesión al final de la iglesia. No llegar a tiempo a Misa por
alguna razón como el tiempo, el tráfico o algún problema
serio atenúa la falta, pero llegar regularmente tarde es
irreverencia, pereza espiritual y podríamos no cumplir con el
precepto de asistir a Misa.
Tengamos en cuenta que la Misa es la más alta forma de
oración, que venimos a encontrarnos con el Señor con
alegría, devoción y a tiempo.
- Padre Agustín
