First Sunday of Lent
February 22, 2015 1
CLEAN SWEEP Lent again, we may say with a sigh. What shall we give up this
year? If we think only of depriving ourselves, however, we miss the point. Lent is a
time for spiritual spring cleaning in preparation for Easter. The Church recommends
three things for this season: fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. The purpose of these
practices is to help us simplify our lives, to convert our hearts more closely to God,
and to grow and develop as disciples of Jesus. Fasting may not only mean eating
less, it could mean eating healthier foods. We can also fast from behaviors that
damage others and ourselves, such as gossiping and anger, sexual immorality,
misuse of alcohol and drugs, or smoking. Increasing or deepening our prayer during
Lent is not just a matter of saying more prayers. If you are in the habit of prayer, try
a different style of prayer: pray a psalm, try a new devotion, or silently sit in God’s
presence. Add morning and evening prayer to your day, pray with your family, be
more mindful during Mass. Lent has been a traditional time of helping the poor
and doing acts of charity and mercy. While we are supposed to be doing this
year-round, Lent is a good time get involved and put ourselves to work.
Giving alms can be done in more ways than just giving out money
to people on the street. It can be done by helping family, friends,
and neighbors out of tight situations or being more generous to
employees. If you are able to give money at this time, increase
what you give to your parish and to some of the many worthy
charities such as the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, Catholic Relief
Services, or Catholic Charities.

Stephen Ministry You may wonder why we Stephen Ministers often
quote passages from Scripture, psalms, or direct quotes from Jesus or
one of the apostles including St. Paul. Our ministry is faith and
scripture-based as our own faith is scripture-based. We reach out
through God’s assistance to those who are hurting, providing them
with emotional and spiritual care. We try to find passages that will be
encouraging, inspiring, and meaningful, leading to greater awareness and knowledge
of God and our faith, helping our care receivers and our readers form a more
personal relationship with Him. On January 4th we celebrated Epiphany, a glorious
event for those of us who are not Jesus. As Fathers Santos told us, Epiphany is the
manifestation of Jesus as Messiah of Israel, Son of God and Savior of the World, with
all implies, God's great love for us and all people with His mercy and grace extending
beyond Israel to all nations and people throughout the world. St. Paul, a Jew prayed
for the Romans (his gentile converts) and for us living today, “May the God of Hope
fill you with you joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the
power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:1-13) and in Romans 8:14-17, “All who are led
by the Spirit of God are sons of God. The Spirit Himself gives witness with our spirit
that we are children of God.
Fasting and Abstinence
Guidelines
Fasting and abstinence are
obligations for all Catholics during
the season of Lent. They begin
the process of purifying and
making us receptive to receive
the Lord. At the same time the
spiritual practice is not for
everyone.
FASTING: Fasting was
recommended by Jesus both
by example and teaching. The
least we are to do when we fast is
to eat one meal at midday and
two small snacks during the day.
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday
are fast days for the universal
church.
ABSTINENCE: Abstinence
means not eating meat, meat
products, and poultry. It is
meant to allow us to eat simpler,
basic meals. Ash Wednesday,
and every Friday during Lent, and
Good Friday are days of
abstinence.
AGES AND HEALTH:
All persons who are in good
health and have completed their
fourteenth year (the day after
one’s 14th birthday) are asked to
abstain from meat on the days
mentioned above. All adults
(those who have completed their
18th year) are asked to fast up to
the beginning of their 60th year.
If one’s health is not good, no
matter one’s age, they should not
fast or abstain from nutritious
foods but should spend the days
of fasting and abstinence doing
other spiritual practices (for
example, reading the Bible,
praying the Rosary, doing acts of
kindness for others).

Primer Domingo de Cuaresma
22 de febrero del 2015 3
LIMPIEZA GENERAL
“La Cuaresma de nuevo” pudiéramos decir con un suspiro. ¿A qué pudiéramos renunciar
este año? Pero si pensamos sólo en privarnos de algo nos equivocamos del todo. La Cuaresma es tiempo de una
limpieza general espiritual en preparación para la Pascua. La Iglesia recomienda tres cosas para este tiempo: ayuno,
oración y limosna. El propósito de estas prácticas es ayudarnos a simplificar nuestra vida, volver nuestro corazón más
íntimamente a Dios y desarrollarnos y crecer como discípulos de Jesús. Ayunar no solamente es comer menos,
también pudiera significar comer alimentos más saludables. Asimismo podemos ayunar de comportamientos que
dañen a los demás, tales como el chisme, el rencor, la inmoralidad sexual, el mal uso del alcohol, las drogas o fumar.
Aumentar o profundizar la oración durante la Cuaresma no es sólo decir más oraciones. Si tienes el hábito de rezar
trata un estilo diferente de oración: ora con un salmo, trata una devoción nueva o siéntate silenciosamente en la
presencia de Dios. Añade a tu día la oración de la mañana y la tarde, reza con tu familia, presta más atención en la
Misa. La Cuaresma ha sido tradicionalmente un tiempo de ayudar a los pobres y hacer actos de caridad u obras de
misericordia. Aunque se supone que hagamos esto durante todo el año, la Cuaresma es un buen momento para
empezar o poner más empeño en nuestras buenas acciones. La limosna se puede dar de más maneras que
dándola a las personas en la calle. Puede hacerse ayudando a la familia, amistades, vecinos que
andan en situaciones difíciles o siendo más generosos con nuestros empleados. Si estás en
condiciones de poder dar dinero en estos momentos, aumenta lo que le das a tu parroquia y a otras
organizaciones caritativas como la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl, Catholic Relief Services o
Caridades Católicas.
Búsqueda de huevos de Pascua

·
Huevitos de plástico
· Dulces
· Calcomanías

* Todos los artículos deben ser lo suficientemente pequeños como

Si usted desea donar algún artículo por favor de entregarlos a la
oficina parroquial durante la semana.

Guía para Ayuno y Abstinencia
El ayuno y la abstinencia son obligaciones para todos los católicos durante la temporada de Cuaresma . Comienzan el
proceso de purificación y hacernos receptivos a recibir al Señor . Al mismo tiempo, la práctica espiritual no es para
todos.
AYUNO: El ayuno fue recomendado por Jesús , tanto por el ejemplo y la enseñanza . Lo mínimo que debemos hacer
cuando ayunamos es comer una comida al mediodía y dos pequeños aperitivos durante el día . Miércoles de Ceniza y
el Viernes Santo son días de ayuno para la iglesia universal.
ABSTINENCIA: La abstinencia significa no comer carne , los productos cárnicos y aves de corral . Tiene el propósito
de permitir que comamos más sencillos , comidas básicas. Miércoles de Ceniza y todos los viernes durante la
Cuaresma, y el Viernes Santo son días de abstinencia.
Se pide a todas las personas que gozan de buena salud y que han cumplido catorce años (el día después de un
cumpleaños número 14 ) a abstenerse de comer carne en los días mencionados anteriormente.
EDADES Y SALUD: Se solicita a todos los adultos (aquellos que han completado los 18 años ) a ayunar hasta el
comienzo de su 60 aniversario . Si su salud no es buena, no importa su edad , que no debe ayunar o abstenerse de
alimentos nutritivos , pero deben pasar los días de ayuno y abstinencia haciendo otras prácticas espirituales ( por
ejemplo, leer la Biblia, rezar el Rosario , hacer actos de bondad para los demás).

Healing Broken Hearts-One Weekend at a Time.
Pope Francis said: “God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of
divine light is within each of us.” Sometimes situations and decisions from the past can place us into darkness
where we feel disconnected and alone. If you have emotional or spiritual wounds as a result of a past abortion,
please consider attending our upcoming Rachel’s Vineyard weekend retreat February 27 – March 1, 2015.
Rachel’s Vineyard is a unique sensory based program for both men and women, which integrates emotional,
psychological and spiritual dimensions to provide an effective recovery process for those hurt by abortion and
life’s circumstances. By experiencing God’s profound love and mercy, let 2015 become the year you rekindle
the spark of divine light which is within all of us. Participation is strictly confidential. For more information,
please contact Mary Huber at 909-475-5353 or [email protected] or visit the website

Question of the Week - First Sunday of Lent
Question for Children: What will you do this Lent to become more like Jesus?
Question for Youth: Lent gives us a chance to do things differently – to "go to the
desert." How can you make Lent a time for growing in faith?
Question for Adults: What is the one area of your life which you most want to "reform"
as you get ready to embrace the Gospel, what is it?
Respect
Mark your calendars for "Patriotic Rosary" on
Thursday, March. 12, 2015
God the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit, Maker of heaven and earth, You are
the First Cause of these United States of America. You are the Author of all that is true, noble, right,
pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy. Nearly two and a half centuries ago our American
founders declared earthly independence and by your prompting held "these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator"-endowed by You- with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Please join us at 4pm in the Chapel followed by a Pot Luck in the Parish Center. Let us pray
together as stated "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and
seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin
and heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Hot Entre will be provided by the Respect Life Team and Last names beginning A-H; I-Q
please bring a Salad or Side Dish; and R-Z please bring a Dessert.
Rosario Patriotico el jueves 12 de Marzo, 2015
Dios Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo, Creador del cielo y de la tierra, Tu eres el Guia Principal de los
Estados Unidos de América. Tu eres el autor de todo lo que es verdadero, noble, correcto, puro,
precioso, admirable, excelente y loable. Casi dos siglos y medio atrás, nuestros fundadores
de América declararon su independencia usándote a Ti como ejemplo, dijeron: "estas verdades son
evidentes, que todos los hombres han sido creados iguales, que son dotados por su Creador"dotados por Ti con ciertos derechos inviolables y entre estos están la vida, la libertad y la búsqueda
de la felicidad."
Por favor únase a nosotros en la Capilla a las 4:00 pm, y después tendremos un Pot Luck en
el Centro Parroquial. Oremos juntos como se indica "Si mi pueblo que es llamado por mi nombre se
humillare, orar y buscad mi rostro y convirtieren de sus malos caminos, entonces oiré desde el cielo y
le perdone sus pecados y sanar su tierra." (2 Crónicas 7:14)
El plato principal lo proporcionará el equipo de Respeto a la Vida y Apellidos empezando
de A-H; I-Q favor de traer una ensalada o un platillo para acompañar al plato principal; y R-Z
por favor traiga un postre.
Share the Faith this Lent season
and together we will experience
the Lord in a whole different way.
Small Faith communities begin
this week. Please contact Lisa Cox
