And immediately there
was in their synagogue a
man with an unclean
spirit; and he cried out,
“What have you to do
with us, Jesus of
Nazareth? Have you
come to destroy us?
I know who you are, the
Holy One of God.”
But Jesus rebuked him,
saying, “Be silent, and
come out of him!”
And the unclean spirit,
convulsing him and
crying with a loud voice,
came out of him.

AND QUINQUAGESIMA SUNDAYS:

BEFORE EASTER
THE ROMAN RITE
The Roman rite of the Catholic Church consists of two
forms: the ordinary form and the extraordinary form.
The ordinary form of the Roman rite exists from 1970
and was promulgated by Pope Paul VI with a specific
liturgical calendar.
The extraordinary form of the
Roman rite goes as far back as Pope St. Gregory the
Great (540-604 AD) although the present Missal was
promulgated by Blessed John XXIII in 1962. It reflects
primarily the Missal of Pope St. Pius V after the Council
of Trent from the 16th century.
PRE -LENT
While in the modern Roman liturgy we today celebrated
the 8th Sunday in Ordinary Time and green vestments
are worn, within the extraordinary form of the Mass we
would have noted violet vestments, no Gloria and no
Alleluia. This is because, in accordance with the
calendar of the older form of the Roman rite, we have
entered the pre-Lenten period, respectively referred to
eac h
s uc c es s iv e
Sunday
by
"Septuagesima" (seventieth), Sexagesima (sixtieth),
and Quinquagesima (fiftieth) -- these numbers being
s y mbo li c ,
tie d
to
t he
re f e re nc e
of
"Quadragesima" (fortieth) which comes in reference to
the forty days of Lent of course.
This period of liturgical time is probably that which
shows forth the single most noticeable variance
between the ordinary form of the Roman rite and the
extraordinary form because of their respective liturgical
character and characteristics.
For Catholics who have only or primarily known the
modern form of the Roman calendar -- and perhaps
even for some of those who worship within the context
of the calendar of the extraordinary form -- it no doubt
strikes one as a unique element of the older Roman
calendar, and it may invite the questions, "what is it and
why is it done?"
While it might seem unique to the older Roman
calendar, it is worth noting that within the Byzantine
liturgical calendar, they too celebrate a pre-Lenten
period of similar duration. Accordingly, the pre-Lenten
period is a point of unity between the Roman Liturgy
(extraordinary form) and the Byzantine liturgy.
Within the Byzantine liturgical calendar, their pre-Lent
begins with the Sunday of the Publican and the
Pharisee (which constitutes their "70th"), continues
through the Sunday of the Prodigal Son, followed by
what is popularly known as Meatfare Sunday (after
which fasting from meat begins), and finally Cheesefare
Sunday (after which fasting from dairy products is
observed). Great Lent then begins.
THE ORIGINS AND PURPOSE OF PRE-LENT
With regard to the origins of the pre-Lenten period,
many liturgical writers attribute the beginnings of preLent to the desire to accomplish the 40 days fast -since there were non-fast days within the weeks of Lent
proper which accordingly did not amount to 40 days of
fasting. Through piety and devotion, this was extended
further still. The specific time of origin is not agreed
upon, but various dates surrounding the time of St.
Gregory the Great in the 6th and 7th centuries are
noted in various respects -- with the devotional
extension of the fast being mentioned even earlier.
According to Duchesne, the fourth Council of Orleans
mentions Quinqagesima and Sexagesima around A.D.
541 -- albeit it by way of disapproval.
The purpose of pre-Lent seems to be the same in both
the Byzantine East and more ancient form of the
Roman rite; it is a period of progressive preparation and
movement toward Lent and ultimately Easter
Fr. Weiser, in his Handbook of Christian Feasts and
Customs speaks of it accordingly:
The liturgical preparation for the greatest feast of
Christianity -- Easter -- proceeds in five periods of
penitential character. As the observance of this
preparation apporaches the feast, the penitential note
grows progressively deeper and stricter. The first period
of this season of pre-Lent, from Septuagesima Sunday
to Ash Wednesday; the second extends from Ash
Wednesday to Passion Sunday; the third comprises
Passion Week; the fourth includes the days of Holy
Week up to Wednesday; the fifth consists in the Sacred
Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy
Saturday.) In these three days, which are devoted
entirely to the commemoration of the Lord's Passion,
the penitential observance reaches its peak, until it ends
(at the Easter Vigil) in the glorious and joyful celebration
of the Resurrection. (p. 154-5)
How do we see this manifested then? Within the
Byzantine rite we see the progressive movement from
non-fasting to the gradual tightening of the discipline
beginning on Meatfare Sunday leading through until the
Great Fast itself. Within the Roman rite, we see the
penitential character which the liturgical rites take on
during pre-Lent, before finally proceeding into Lent itself
with its fast
While pre-Lent is not strictly celebrated in the ordinary
form of the Mass it is still a good spiritual practice to
start preparing for Lent by doing acts of self-denial,
increasing our prayer, and engaging in more acts of
mercy towards our neighbor begging God for the grace
of making a good Lent and for greater conversion to the
Gospel.

CRS WORKER WHO DIED AFTER PAPAL
MASS BURIED OUTSIDE MANILA
WEST COAST MARCH
'PRO-LIFE AND PRO-WOMAN,'
MANILA, Philippines, Jan 27, 2015 (CNS) — A Catholic Relief
Services worker who died immediately after a Mass
celebrated by Pope Francis during his visit to the central
Philippines in mid-January was buried in metro Manila Jan.
27. Kristel Padasas, 27, volunteered to help during the
stormy Mass that the pope celebrated in Tacloban,
considered ground zero for the typhoon that left more than
7,300 people dead or missing in November 2013.
Immediately after the pope left, a strong gust blew
scaffolding, which fell on Padasas, fracturing her skull. She
died shortly after the accident. The Vatican's nuncio to the
Philippines, Archbishop Giuseppe Pinto, read a message at
her funeral Mass at Sto. Nino Parish Church in Taguig City,
just south of Manila. "Upon his return from Tacloban on the
afternoon of Saturday, Jan. 17, Pope Francis spent a long
time in prayer in the chapel of the apostolic nunciature in

WILL REBUILD AFTER RIOTS
“(M)arriage is the foundation of a just and stable society,”
the Catholic and Protestant leaders said, emphasizing that
marriage was a reality that existed before the state. The
truth about marriage can be found in “both revelation and
reason,” they said, pointing to both Scripture and “the
truths inscribed on the human heart.”
However, the sexual revolution has gravely weakened
marriage, they continued, pointing to decreasing marriage
and birth rates, as well as rising abortion and divorce levels
in the past 50 years.
“Christians are implicated in this decline. Evangelicals and
Catholics are more likely to divorce than they were fifty
years ago. Moreover, Christians have adopted to no small
extent the contraceptive mind-set that in society at large
has separated sex from reproduction and so weakened the
centrality and attraction of marriage.”
OXFORD, England, Jan 26, 2015 (CNS) — An archbishop in
Niger said the church would rebuild after rioters destroyed
its places of worship during protests over cartoons mocking
depictions of Muhammad by the French satirical newsweekly
Charlie Hebdo. "We're still trying to understand the savagery
which erupted here -- but it's certain it was well thoughtout, prepared and organized," said Archbishop Michel
Cartateguy of Niamey, Niger. He also cited bravery of local
Muslims who sheltered Christians from the violence and
imams who spoke against it. "We now have to reconstruct
hearts and minds deeply scarred by these events and renew
the friendly ties we always had with the Muslim community,"
he told Catholic News Service. Archbishop Cartateguy said he
believed publication of the cartoons in Paris had only served
as a pretext for the riots, in which Catholic schools,
orphanages and shops were burned in Niamey.

Saints of the Week
February 2
PRESENTATION OF THE LORD
At the end of
t he
fourt h
cent ury,
a
woman named
Etheria made a
pilgrimage
to
Jerusalem. Her
j o u r n a l ,
discovered
in
1887, gives an
unprecedented
g l im p s e
of
liturgical
life
there.
Among
the celebrations
she describes is
the Epiphany, the observance of Christ’s birth, and the gala
procession in honor of his Presentation in the Temple 40
days later. This feast emphasizes Jesus’ first appearance in
the Temple more than Mary’s purification. At the beginning
of the eighth century, Pope Sergius inaugurated a
candlelight procession, giving the feast its popular name:
Candlemas.
Three years later, when the king of Denmark became a
convert, Ansgar went to that country for three years of
missionary work, without noticeable success. Sweden asked
for Christian missionaries, and he went there, suffering
capture by pirates and other hardships on the way. Less than
two years later he was recalled, to become abbot of New
Corbie (Corvey) and bishop of Hamburg. The pope made him
legate for the Scandinavian missions. Funds for the northern
apostolate stopped with Emperor Louis’s death. After 13
years’ work in Hamburg, Ansgar saw it burned to the ground
by invading Northmen; Sweden and Denmark returned to
paganism.
He directed new apostolic activities in the North, traveling
to Denmark and being instrumental in the conversion of
another king. By the strange device of casting lots, the king
of Sweden allowed the Christian missionaries to return.
Ansgar was devoted to the poor and the sick, imitating the
Lord in washing their feet and waiting on them at table. He
died peacefully at Bremen, Germany, without achieving his
wish to be a martyr.

ST. AGATHA
(d. 251?)
As in the case of Agnes, another virgin-martyr of the early
Church, almost nothing is historically certain about this saint
except that she was martyred in Sicily during the
persecution of Emperor Decius in 251. Legend has it that
Agatha, like Agnes, was arrested as a Christian, tortured and
