After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee
proclaiming the gospel of God: “This is the time of fulfillment.
The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
Mark 1:14-15
Después de que arrestaron a Juan el Bautista, Jesús se fue a Galilea
para predicar el Evangelio de Dios y decía:
“Se ha cumplido el tiempo y el Reino de Dios ya está cerca.
Arrepiéntanse y crean en el Evangelio”.

God's creave work has now been put into our hands to help
bring it to fulfillment. How do I care for that creaon in the
choices I make? Springs of water well up as a sign of God's act of creaon;
springs of water at Bapsm as effecve sign of salvaon.
Sin can manifest itself as ears closed to God and a tongue
forked when speaking about others. But Jesus can heal us of
that if we let him.

SACRAMENTAL INFORMATION
Lent Guidelines
The annual observance of Lent is the special season for
the ascent to the holy mountain of Easter. Through its
twofold theme of repentance and baptism, the season
of Lent disposes both the catechumens and the faithful
to celebrate the paschal mystery. Catechumens are led
to the sacraments of initiation by means of the Rite of Election, the
Scrutinies, and catechesis. The faithful, listening more intently to the
word of God and devoting themselves to prayer, are prepared through a
spirit of repentance to renew their baptismal promises.
Ceremonial of Bishops, 249). Eucharist for the sick and shutͲins and requests for hospital visitors,
please contact the Fr. Josh at 972Ͳ934Ͳ8388, ext. 6506.
MATRIMONY: Register in the Parish and become a member of the
Sunday worshipping community three months before contacting a
priest or deacon. Then contact the priest or deacon at least eight
months prior to the date of the wedding.
BAPTISM: The Baptism Class in English will be held on March 8, 2015 in
the Pastoral Center Lounge from 1:00 Ͳ 3:00 p.m. Babysitting will not

Why don’t you join the St. Rita Theology Guild!
Here’s what we’ll be reading and discussing…
[email protected] Currently it is fashionable to be devoutly undevout. Religion’s most passionate
antagonists have publishers competing eagerly to market their various
denunciations of religion, monotheism, Christianity, Roman Catholicism. But
contemporary antireligious polemics are based not only upon profound
conceptual confusions but upon ridiculous simplifications of history or even
outright historical ignorance. Helping us navigate this trend, Fr. Joshua will help
us follow the thought of Orthodox theologian David Bentley Hart, one of the most
brilliant theologians of our time. Reading his book, Atheist Delusions, we’ll
discover a powerful antidote to misrepresentations of the Christian past, bringing
into focus the truth about the most radical revolution in Western history.

Misa de Vigilia del sábado : 5:30 p.m.
La obra creadora de Dios ahora se ha puesto en nuestras
manos para que ayudemos a llevarla a cumplimiento. ¿Cómo
debo cuidar la creación con las decisiones que tomo?
Mananales de agua así como una señal de acto de la creación
de Dios; fuentes de agua en el bausmo como signo eficaz de la
salvación.
El pecado puede manifestarse como oídos cerrados a Dios y
una lengua cortada al hablar de los demás. Pero Jesús nos pue‐
de sanar si se lo permimos

observar la Cuaresma este año.
Cada sesión tendrá una duración aproximada de una hora después de las
Misas durante los tres primeros fines de semana de Cuaresma. Hay tres

Guía para la Cuaresma
La observancia anual de la Cuaresma es un tiempo
favorable por el cual se asciende al monte santo de
la Pascua. El tiempo de Cuaresma, en efecto, con su
doble carácter, prepara tanto a los catecúmenos
como a los fieles para celebrar el misterio pascual.
Los catecúmenos, ciertamente, tanto por la elección
y los escrutinios como por la catequesis, son conducidos a los sacramentos de Iniciación cristiana. Por
su parte los fieles, dedicados con mayor asiduidad a escuchar la Palabra
de Dios y a la oración, mediante la penitencia se preparan para renovar las
promesas del bautismo. (Ceremonial de los Obispos, 249).
Todas las personas de 18 años de edad y mayores que aun no han cele-
brado sus 59 cumpleaños deben observar el ayuno. El día de ayuno
consiste de una comida completa. Se pueden comer otras dos comidas
que sean suficiente para mantener energía de acuerdo a las necesidades
de cada uno, pero las dos comida juntas no deben igualar una comida
completa. No es permitido comer entre comidas, pero se permiten, líquidos, incluyendo leche y jugos.
Las personas de 14 años y mayores observan la abstinencia. En los días
de abstinencia no se permite comer carne. Cuando la salud o la capacidad para trabajar se ven gravemente afectadas, la abstinencia no obliga.
Es día de ayuno y abstinencia el Miércoles de Ceniza, febrero 18, y Viernes
Santo, abril 3. Todos los viernes de Cuaresma son días de abstinencia.
El ayuno, la limosna y la oración son las tres disciplinas tradicionales de
la Cuaresma. Los fieles y catecúmenos deben tomar en serio y realizar
estas prácticas en un espíritu de penitencia y de preparación para el
bautismo o la renovación del bautismo en la Pascua.
