Welcome to
St. Andrew the Apostle Parish
E-mail us at: [email protected]
With open hearts we welcome
all who have come to the house of the Lord.
If you are new to the parish please
take time to stop by the office and register.
Once registered, this implies
that you will participate with our faith
community at Sunday Liturgy and return to
the Lord by sharing your time,
talent and treasure with His Church.
First Sunday of Lent
February 14, 2016
The word is near you,
in your mouth and in your heart.
-- Romans 10:8
DID YOU KNOW. . .
that there is such a thing as “Communion manners”? These are
similar to “table manners”, but concerning our participating in
the Table of the Lord – the Eucharist!
It is important to respect those who are sharing the Eucharistic
banquet with you. Please do not distract them during this
“encounter” with the Lord! IF for any reason you need to leave
during Mass, please do not re-enter while the Assembly is kneeling
– just wait and pray in the Gathering Room for the very few
minutes until we all stand again – during that time of movement,
you will not distract or disturb others! There should be no
movement into or out of the church during the parts of the Mass
when all are kneeling.
When receiving Holy Communion, please prepare to receive
BEFORE you reach the Eucharist Minister, Deacon or Priest –
that is, when the person in front of you is actually receiving, make
your bow or acknowledgement of the Lord’s Presence, and then
step forward with your hands already open (one on top of the
other, forming a “table” with your hands – at the level of your
heart, so that your hands become an ‘extension’ of your heart)
and ready to receive. If you are receiving the Blessed Sacrament
on your tongue, make your bow when the person in front of you
is actually receiving, and step forward with hands folded, head
tipped slightly back and tongue slightly extended.
When the Priest, Deacon or Eucharistic Minister says, “The Body
of Christ”, always respond clearly, “AMEN!” and receive.
Please DO NOT BOW as the Body (or Precious Blood) is being
extended toward you – the bow or acknowledgement is done
before you step up to receive.
Please DO NOT ‘pop’ your hands open to receive as the Body of
Christ is being extended to you. You probably know whether you
want to receive the Blessed Sacrament on your tongue or in your
hands before you leave the pew – please do not suddenly open
your hands when the Body of Christ is being given to you.
Please respect the silence (or the Communion hymn) by not
talking to those around you after receiving. St. Teresa of Avila
said that the few moments after receiving our Lord in the Blessed
Sacrament are among the holiest and most precious moments of
the Mass, because our Lord is there within you, saying “Here I
am. What do you want Me to do for you?” This time immediately
after receiving is very personal – please respect that time for
yourself and for those around you.
We all need reminders from time to time, to “mind our manners.”
It has to do with respect for those around us and reverence for the
Lord. Without reverence and respect, much of the dignity (and
beauty) of our lives erodes away!
THIS PAST WEEK, we received $14,652.00 in Gifts/Pledges to
our Parish Goal of $128,000 for the Annual Catholic Appeal! If
you have not yet made your gift or pledge, please do so today!
ANY gift of ANY amount is greatly appreciated – please consider
your response today and join with all of your fellow Catholics in
supporting the 2016 Annual Catholic Appeal!!

Nurses Notes- Middle Age Spread
As you age, you may notice you have less muscle and energy and more fat. Carrying that extra weight around
could be harming your health. To add to it, there is so much information about diet and exercise available, that it can
become very confusing when you try to come up with a plan to take care of yourself. But diet and exercise are the key
to avoiding weight gain as you get older. As you move through your 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond, there are some steps you
can take to help fight the flab that can come with age.
As you age, your metabolism changes. Your body burns fewer calories (energy makers) and starts breaking
down foods in a different way. You may begin to lose lean muscle. If you are not exercising more and adjusting your
diet to go along with these inevitable changes, the pounds will begin to add up. What was once middle-age spread can
soon become middle-age sprawl!
The biggest culprit behind middle-age spread is the “couch-potato” lifestyle. If you overeat and lead an inactive
lifestyle you can actually speed up the age-related changes in metabolism that your body goes through. One key player
in age-related changes is a chemical called leptin. Leptin is a chemical in the brain that helps tell your body to stop
eating. As you get older, the leptin signals don’t work as well so you might continue to feel hungry even right after
you’ve eaten. If you are obese, leptin becomes even less effective.
Whenever you eat, there is a reward. You get the taste of the food and you feel good. When you are normal
weight, you may satisfy your cravings by having a small amount of whatever food you are craving. But, as the years and
pounds add up, you may need to eat more of what you crave to get the same pleasant sensation.
Another factor to take into consideration is that both aging and obesity change the way your body processes
glucose – the sugar your body makes from food and uses for energy. These changes can lead to diabetes. Diabetes
raises your risk for heart disease, blindness, amputations, and other conditions.
Obesity increases the risk and lowers the age of onset for many diseases of aging. Over time, even our brains
are affected. Recent studies have linked long-standing diabetes and obesity with changes in brain cells that can make
them more vulnerable to aging.
As you reach your 50s and beyond, you will probably need fewer calories in your diet otherwise, the more
calories you eat, the more active you must become to burn those calories. You still need to maintain proper nutrition so
be sure that what you do eat is healthy. By eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean sources of protein and
dairy products; by choosing foods that are low in added sugars and solid fats; and by limiting your salt intake, you can be
sure you are supporting a diet that is healthy. Poor health has been linked to, not only people who weigh too much, but
to people who weigh too little as well – especially in older people.
Along with diet, exercise and moving are important as well. You shouldn’t use the excuse “I’m too old to
exercise”. It doesn’t matter what your age is, you need to add physical activity to your daily routine. Be sure to talk to
your health care provider about safe ways to adjust your activity levels as you get older. If you have a certain health
condition – such as arthritis or a recent surgery – ask for tips to help you exercise safely. By working with your health
care provider, you can choose activities that are best for you and your condition.
Exercise and physical activity fall into four basic categories—endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility. Most
people tend to focus on one activity or type of exercise and think they're doing enough. Each type is different, though.
Doing them all will give you more benefits. Mixing it up also helps to reduce boredom and cut your risk of injury. Some
activities fit into more than one category. For example, many endurance activities also build strength. Strength exercises
also help improve balance.
Endurance exercise examples are those that increase your breathing and heart rate such as fast walking, yard
work or dancing. Strength exercises make your muscles stronger such as lifting weights, using a resistance band, or
using your own body weight (such as pushing up against a wall or partially raising yourself out of a chair). Balance
exercises help prevent falls which is a common problem in older adults. Many lower-body strength exercises also will
improve your balance such as standing on one foot, heel to toe walk or Tai Chi. Flexibility exercises stretch your muscles
and can help your body stay limber. Being flexible gives you more freedom of movement for other exercises as well as
for your everyday activities. Some examples are shoulder and upper arm stretching, calf stretch or yoga.
By focusing on eating healthy and doing physical activity you can avoid the middle-age spread and the health
problems that can come with it.
Blessings to All, Your Parish Nurse, Connie Sayers
CATHOLIC QUIZ –
This week’s Question: “What is a ‘Red Letter day’?”
The answer to last week’s Question: “What is the
‘Eucharistic Fast’?” Fasting before receiving
Holy Communion has been from ancient times.
It was prescribed by the Councils of Carthage (A.D. 254) and
Antioch (A.D. 268) and became universal practice by the Fifth
Century. Prior to 1953 the Faithful fasted from midnight on,
(including from water and medicine!). In 1953 and again in 1957,
Pope Pius XII reduced the time to three hours from solid food
and alcoholic drink (from before Mass for the priest and from
before Communion for the laity); non-alcoholic drink, one hour;
water was no longer included in the fast. In 1964, Pope Paul
VI further reduced the fast to one hour, including all food and
drink, allowing water and medicine any time. In 1973 the fast
was reduced to fifteen minutes for the elderly and sick, including
those attending them if one hour would be too difficult.
(If you would like to be as smart as the “Quiz Master” – pick up a
copy of the Catholic Source Book, available in the Parish Office,
for only $25!)
Please join us for Stations of the
Cross every Friday during Lent,

Primer Domingo
de Cuaresma
Líbranos, Señor
Dios de la salvación,
que condujiste a tu pueblo rescatado
hasta una tierra de leche y miel,
alimenta a tu Iglesia durante
su ayuno cuaresmal
y rescátala de los lazos de la muerte.
Sácanos del desierto de la tentación
y líbranos del mal cuando invoquemos
tu nombre.
Que busquemos refugio en ti,
Dios todopoderoso, para que,
libres de toda angustia, podamos
participar de la promesa pascual.
Concédenos ser valientes cuando
confrontemos el miedo
y llénanos de fe cuando nos asalten
las dudas.
Que nuestro corazón irradie siempre
la alegría de Jesucristo
y se mantenga firme ante toda tentación.
Por Cristo nuestro Señor. Amén.
Domingo, 14 de febrero de 2016
Las tentaciones
Lecturas del día: Deuteronomio 26:4 – 10; Salmo 91:1 – 2,
10 – 11, 12 – 13, 14 – 15; Romanos 10:8 – 13; Lucas 4:1 – 13.
¿Qué viene a su mente cuando piensa en el desierto? Lo imaginamos como un lugar árido y lleno de peligros. Al salir de
Egipto, los hebreos caminaron durante cuarenta años en el
desierto, con frecuentes caídas en su fe y resistiéndose a la
gracia de Dios. Las tentaciones nos deslumbran porque son
atractivas y fáciles. Siempre que cedemos a tentaciones insanas nos aislamos del amor de Dios y nos consumimos en
deseos egoístas.
El evangelio de hoy nos cuenta que el Espíritu Santo condujo a Jesús al desierto para ser tentado por el diablo. Pensando
en las respuestas de Jesús al diablo, aprendemos que, al encarar la tentación, él permaneció obediente a Dios. Jesús debió
discernir la voluntad de Dios para aumentar su cercanía al
Padre mediante la oración y el ayuno.
Esta Cuaresma, démonos tiempo para adentrarnos en el
desierto, sabiendo que el Espíritu Santo nos ayudará a cobrar
conciencia de nuestra fragilidad y a escuchar cuidadosamente la voz de Dios, para responder a su invitación. Sería
de mucha ayuda destinar un momento cada día a escribir en
un diario sobre las cosas, ideas y personas que a usted le
tientan a apartarse de Dios y de su vocación a ser testigo fiel.
No siempre es fácil nombrar las tentaciones, pero como a los
israelitas, Dios nos conduce a la Tierra Prometida para que
participemos de su abundancia. Jesús es el camino a la verdad y a la libertad. ¿Qué es lo que él le está pidiendo?
La semana en casa
Lunes, 15 de febrero de 2016
Comportarse
En dos versos de la primera lectura de hoy, se nos dan dos
reglas para las relaciones humanas. Primera, que debemos
ser santos como Dios y, segunda, que debemos amar a nuestro prójimo. Quizá lo hayamos escuchado muchas veces,
pero si seguimos esas normas, nuestras vidas se arraigarán
en Dios. ¿Cómo puede usted reconciliarse con Dios, consigo
mismo y con sus prójimos? Lecturas del día: Levítico
19:1 – 2, 11 – 18; Salmo 19:8, 9, 10, 15; Mateo 25:31 – 46.
Martes, 16 de febrero de 2016
La palabra
Como la lluvia que nutre la tierra, la palabra de Dios
alimenta nuestro corazón y nos despierta a divulgar la Buena
Nueva. Jesús, la Palabra hecha carne, vino a la tierra a revelar
el Reino. Al escuchar la Palabra, ¿se siente inspirado a realizar la voluntad de Dios? Piense por un momento en cómo
animar a un amigo. Lecturas del día: Isaías 55:10 –11;
Salmo 34:4 – 5, 6 – 7, 16 – 17, 18 – 19; Mateo 6:7 – 15.
Miércoles, 17 de febrero de 2016
Arrepentimiento
¿Somos una generación perversa? Jesús usa palabras muy
fuertes al dirigirse a los que buscan una prueba de su autoridad espiritual. Quieren una señal, como lo fue Jonás para
Nínive. El profeta llamó a la ciudad al arrepentimiento para
evitar el castigo por sus pecados. El papel del enviado divino
es ése: invitar a la gente a una buena relación. Mediante
la Encarnación, Dios mismo se da a conocer en Jesús, señal
definitiva de su amor por nosotros. Debemos arrepentirnos
y volver a Dios con un corazón contrito, para adentrarnos
en la plenitud de la vida. La tarde de hoy, encienda una
vela y ore pausadamente el salmo del día. Lecturas del día:
Jonás 3:1–10; Salmo 51:3–4, 12–13, 18–19; Lucas 11:29–32.
Jueves, 18 de febrero de 2016
Súplica
La oración de la reina Esther, en la primera lectura, reconoce
el pecado de la nación pero invoca la fidelidad de Dios. Ella
le suplica que los rescate ahora de los enemigos. El evangelio
nos recuerda que Jesús nos salva de nuestros enemigos, nuestros pecados. Debemos buscar la misericordia de Dios y,
como el salmista, dar gracias y alabar al Señor por atender
nuestras oraciones y librarnos de nuestra fragilidad. Al acercarnos a la segunda semana de Cuaresma, piense usted en
unirse a algún grupo de reflexión bíblica. Lecturas del día:
Esther C:12, 14 – 16, 23 – 25; Salmo 138:1 – 2ab, 2cde – 3,
7c – 8; Mateo 7:7 – 12.
Viernes, 19 de febrero de 2016
Alejarse
El profeta Ezequiel es muy directo al decirle al pueblo que
abandonen el pecado. Si dejan de lado su maldad y siguen la
Ley tendrán vida. Debemos esforzarnos por una vida
virtuosa unidos a Cristo. Si Cristo no es el centro de nuestra
vida, el pecado nos dominará y nos llevará a relaciones
destructivas. De elegir caminar sin Cristo, nos volvemos reos
de juicio. ¿Dónde necesita usted reconciliarse? Prepárese
y acérquese al sacramento de la reconciliación durante
esta Cuaresma. Lecturas del día: Ezequiel 18:21 – 28;
Salmo 130:1 – 2, 3 – 4, 5 – 7a, 7bc – 8; Mateo 5:20 – 26.
Sábado, 20 de febrero de 2016
Amar
Dios nos creó con amor y por amor. En el evangelio, Jesús
nos invita a dar testimonio de este amor. Él nos impulsa
a amar a nuestro prójimo y a nuestros enemigos. ¿Conoce
usted a su prójimo? ¿Cómo puede usted amarlo? Pero
también piense en sus enemigos. ¿Cómo puede usted amarlos? Dios nos ha llenado de amor para poder darlo. Medite
en las formas como puede compartir su amor. Lecturas
del día: Deuteronomio 26:16 – 19; Salmo 119:1 – 2, 4 – 5, 7 – 8;

REFLECTIONS
…
First Sunday
of Lent
The Desert
Luke 4:1-13
“Jesus knows what it is like to be
in the desert and to want God’s
help. He had his own desert
experience, being tempted by the
devil, feeling alone and isolated,
and needing strength and faith. It
happened to the Hebrews, it
happened to Jesus, and it
happens
to
us.
Desert
experiences can be retreats for us
if we use them as a way to get
closer to God.”
By: Sr. Joellen
Kohlmann DRE
Feb. 15, 2016 –
Monday of the
First Week of Lent
“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of
these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” Mt.
25:40
Consider donating clothes or food to those in need.
Feb. 16, 2016 – Tuesday of the First Week of Lent
“This is how you are to pray: Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,…” Mt. 6:9-10
Pray as Jesus taught us. Pray the Lord’s Prayer.
Feb. 17, 2016 – Wednesday of the First Week of Lent
“…at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and
there is something greater than Jonah here.” Lk 11:32
Pray for priests and deacons.
“The path to a closer relationship
with our Creator is the faith
journey of every human being.
The Holy Spirit is every human
being’s instigator of that journey
and its guide. Even though Jesus
is fully divine, Jesus is also fully
human.” He was led by the Spirit
just as we are.
Have you ever felt as if you were
alone and isolated? Did you ever
do “the right thing” and end up
alone and isolated?
In Touch With the Word - Lent…by
Lisa Marie Calderone-Stewart pgs.8687.
Feb. 18, 2016 – Thursday of the First Week of Lent
“If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good
gifts to your children, how much more will your
heavenly Father give good things to those who ask
him.” Mt 7:11
Ask for what you need in prayer.
Feb. 19, 2016 – Friday of the First Week of Lent
“…go first and be reconciled with your brother, and
then come and offer your gift.” Mt 5:24

Feb. 20, 2016 – Saturday of the First Week of Lent
“But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for
those who persecute you…” Mt 5:28
Pray for the conversion of terrorists and persecuters.
