Dear parish family,
6th Sunday Ordinary Time B
As the Church anticipates the Season of Lent, the evening before Ash Wednesday is called "Fat Tuesday" or Shrove
Tuesday. French word for it “Mardi Gras” which has become more popular and wildly celebrated but unfortunately very far
removed from its original meaning and intentions. In Italy they called it “Carnivale” from the Latin "carne vale" which
means "farewell to meat" or "farewell to flesh" indicating the end to certain pleasures has come. Hence the
custom of
consuming rich food on this day as the faithful prepare for time of fasting, abstinence, confession and penance. Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, Carnivale, all mean the same. But we see now how the popular culture corrupts the original intent of the
custom. Ironically, the English word “Carnival” means the opposite of what it originally meant.
We’ll celebrate “Fat Tuesday” (evening of February 17) here in our parish but in a way fitting to the church season we are about to enter. Rather than just vain party, it is a party with spirituality. Rather than just eating rich food for
ourselves, we eat sharing food with our community. It is a pot luck party with the live band from Adore Ministries. We
titled this community event as “ROAD TO THE RESURRECTION!” Praise and Preparation for Lent. Ennie Hickman and
the Robbie Seay Band will be here to entertain us in music of praise and give us some words of evangelization. They are
lay Catholic evangelists and their Band plays in Catholic Youth and other Christian gatherings to proclaim the message of
Christ thru music. So please do not miss this event; bring food, your family and friends. Let’s have a good party this
Tuesday evening and get fat, no not your belly but fat with the joy of community spirit and the enjoyment of gospel music
and message. But yes we can eat big that night for the following day is Fast and Abstinence, Ash Wednesday.
Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of obligation but a very important Church celebration that solemnly commences the season of Lent. Ashes are applied to our forehead in the sign of the cross as the words, "Remember, you are
dust and to dust you shall return" are spoken to us. The other formula which is used, "Turn away from sin and be faithful
to the Gospel" emphasizes our call to continual conversion and holiness of life. This act symbolizes our mortality as well
as our need for ongoing repentance. It is a reminder that this life is short and merely a foreshadowing of what we shall
become through the redemption of Jesus Christ on the cross. The work of our redemption will not be complete until we
are raised from the dead, in resurrected bodies like His own and called to the eternal communion of heaven.
As we gather on this last Sunday before Lent, we are challenged by words of St. Paul in our second reading “to
do everything for the glory of God.” Further, he urges us “to work for the common good rather than our own.” What valuable lessons for us and for our country! May our prayer can be for such selflessness and be the fruit of our coming Lenten
season.
Blessings to you and have a good week!
Fr. Tony
Querida familia parroquial,
6to domingo B
Como la Iglesia espera el tiempo de Cuaresma, la noche antes del Miércoles de Ceniza se llama "Martes Gordo" o Martes de Carnaval. Palabra francesa para "Mardi Gras", que se ha convertido en extremadamente popular y celebrar, pero,
lamentablemente, muy lejos de su significado original y sus intenciones. En Italia le llaman "Carnaval", del latín "carne
vale", que significa "adiós a la carne" o "adiós a lo carnal", lo que indica el final de ciertos placeres ha llegado. De ahí la
costumbre de consumir alimentos ricos en este día como preparación de los fieles a los tiempos de ayuno, la abstinencia,
la confesión y la penitencia. Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, Carnaval, todos significan lo mismo. Pero podemos ver ahora
cómo la cultura popular corrompe la intención original de la costumbre. Irónicamente, la palabra inglesa "carnaval" significa lo contrario de lo que originalmente significaba.
Celebraremos "Martes Gordo" (noche del 17 febrero ) aquí en nuestra parroquia, pero de un modo adecuado a la
temporada que estamos a punto de entrar. En lugar de la celebración vana, es una celebracion con espiritualidad. En
lugar de comer para satifacernos nosotros mismos, compartiremos la comida con nuestra comunidad. Es una celebracion
de celebracion con la banda en vivo del Ministerio Adore. Hemos titulado este evento comunitario como "CAMINO DE LA
RESURRECCIÓN". La alabanza y la preparación para la Cuaresma. La banda de Ennie Hickman y Robbie Seay estará
aquí para entretenernos en el mundo de la música de alabanza y nos ofrecen algunas palabras de la evangelización. Son
evangelistas laicos católicos y participan en reuniones de jóvenes católicos y otras reuniones cristianas proclamando el
mensaje de Cristo a traves de su musica. Así que, por favor, no te pierdas este evento; traer comida, su familia y amigos. Vamos a tener una buena fiesta este martes por la noche y a engordar,.. no su vientre, pero con la alegría del espíritu comunitario y disfrutando del mensaje y de la música gospel. Pero sí podemos comer bien esa noche pues el día
siguiente es la abstinencia y el ayuno, Miércoles de Ceniza.
Miércoles de Ceniza no es un dia de obligación sino una celebración muy importante en la iglesia ya que comienza el tiempo de Cuaresma. Las cenizas se aplican a nuestra frente con el signo de la cruz con las palabras, "Acuérdate
de que eres polvo y en polvo te convertiras" se habla de nosotros. La otra fórmula que se utiliza, "convertíos y creed en el
Evangelio" nos hace hincapié en nuestro llamado a una conversión continua hacia el camino de la santidad. Este acto
simboliza nuestra mortalidad, así como la necesidad de arrepentimiento continuo. Es un recordatorio de que esta vida es
corta, y un anuncio de lo que seremos a través de la redención de Cristo Jesús en la cruz. La obra de nuestra redención
no se completa hasta que resucitemos de entre los muertos, resucitados en cuerpos como el suyo propio y llamados a la
vida eterna del cielo.
Al reunirnos en este último domingo antes de la Cuaresma, estamos ante el reto de las palabras de san Pablo en
la segunda lectura "de hacer todo lo posible para la gloria de Dios." Además, nos exhorta "a trabajar para el bien común,
en lugar de nuestro propio beneficio." ¿Qué lecciones valiosas para nosotros y para nuestro país. Que nuestra oración
pueda ser por el interes comun y ser el fruto de nuestra epoca cuaresmal.
¡Bendiciones para ti y que tengas una buena semana!
Padre Tony
