Ash Wednesday reminds to deepen our lives as disciples of Jesus with a sense of hope for all that God wants to accomplish in our lives and in our parish. We will enter the Lenten Season with the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Monday, February 23rd at 7 PM in the Church. This communal Penance Liturgy with individual confessions brings us together to not only humbly acknowledge our sins, but even more to confidently acknowledge God’s mercy. This Season calls for us to be attentive to fasting, prayer and charity so that we might become less attached to the things of this world and more attached to the things of God. May these 40 days bring to each of us a desire for deeper conversion to the Lord so that He might make us His faithful disciples well prepared to celebrate the Easter mysteries of new life. Know of my prayer for you during this Season that we might each be pleasing to God. In the Lord, Lent Penance Service Monday, February 23 at 7 PM Prepare to celebrate the Paschal Mystery at Easter by receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation at our Lenten Communal Penance Service. There will be many priests celebrating individual confessions. Stations of the Cross and Lenten Dinner Friday February 27, 6:30 PM Bring your family and friends to share in praying the Stations of the Cross on Friday evening, then join us immediately after for a delicious Lenten dinner in the Parish Hall. Pasta with marinara sauce, salad & bread will be served by the Knights of Columbus. A suggested donation for the meal is $4 for adults and $2 for children. Father Jerome T.

If members of the faithful are not feeling well, especially during this period, please stay home and do not risk the possibility of spreading infections to others. It is not sinful to miss Mass if you are sick and unable to attend; it is an act of charity for those with flu symptoms to stay home and not risk the health of others. Since holding hands during the Lord’s Prayer can lead to transmission of the virus, the faithful are strongly urged to adopt an orans position (hands extended) or another prayerful posture (hands clasped) for the communal recitation of the “Our Father”. The faithful are encouraged to share the Sign of Peace without touching hands. This can be done with meaningful eye contact, smiles and a bow of the head in reverence to one another or simply by saying “The Peace of the Lord be with you” with a response such as “and with your spirit”. Communicants are strongly encouraged to receive communion in the hand since it is difficult, if not impossible, to avoid contact with saliva in distributing Holy Communion on the tongue. We will not distribute the Precious Blood during the Flu season. We will return to normal when the health danger from influenza has passed. Broken Vessels of Lent March 5, 12, 19 | Room C One of the main arteries between our heart and God's heart is the artery of prayer. We know Heaven consists of the pure and the Holy, yet we can be very much aware that we have not reached pure and Holy - We also know that it is God's deepest desire for each of us to be with Him in Heaven - Easter tell us this. So, for 3 Thursdays, March 5, 12, 19 7:00 PM we will examine prayer and how God, working through prayer and through our personal choices, is constantly seeking to bring us into that heavenly experience - before we leave earth. Please register with Patty Ledezma 714-842-3000 to attend these classes.

El Miércoles de Ceniza nos recuerda que debemos comprometernos como discípulos de Jesús, con la esperanza viva de recibir todo lo que Dios quiere lograr con nuestras vidas y nuestra parroquia. Vamos a iniciar la Cuaresma celebrando el Sacramento de Reconciliación este lunes 23 de febrero a las 7 PM en la Iglesia. Esta Liturgia de Penitencia común con confesiones individuales, nos reúne para reconocer humildemente nuestros pecados y sobre todo, para reconocer con certeza la misericordia de Dios. Durante esta época debemos prestar especial atención al ayuno, la oración y la caridad, para así podernos desprender de las cosas mundanas, a la vez que nos apegamos a todo lo relacionado con Dios. Espero que estos 40 días nos traigan a cada uno de nosotros el deseo de una transformación más profunda en el Señor, para que Él haga de nosotros Sus fieles discípulos, preparados adecuadamente para celebrar los misterios de la nueva vida durante la Pascua. Tengan presente que estaré rezando por todos ustedes durante esta época, para que hagamos la voluntad de Dios. En el Señor, Padre Jerome T. Karcher Párroco I DOMINGO DE CUARESMA AÑO B EVANGELIO MARCOS 1, 12-15 “El tiempo se ha cumplido, convertíos y crean al Evangelio” Hemos dado inicio a la cuaresma, un tiempo de preparación a la pascua, un tiempo de conversión. Jesús se prepara seriamente a su misión, va al desierto y pasa allí 40 días y es tentado por satanás. ¿Creen que Jesús necesitaba prepararse para vencer al demonio? ¿No es inferior el demonio a Jesús? ¿no fue creado por el mismo? ¿Entonces para que se tiene que preparar Jesús? Jesús se fue al desierto y se dejó tentar por satanás para nuestro beneficio, lo hizo para enseñarnos los trucos que el demonio utiliza para vencernos. Para que no se nos olvide que tenemos que luchar contra el demonio la iglesia cada año viene en nuestra ayuda con el tiempo de cuaresma y poder así parte en la resurrección de Jesucristo el domingo de Resurrección. ¿Qué es la Cuaresma? es un tiempo de preparación, de ejercitación en nuestra lucha contra el demonio y sus vicios, tiempo de purificación para poder entrar en la muerte, pasión y resurrección de nuestro Señor. ¡Animo!, la Buena Noticia es que la Iglesia como una madre nos dará en este tiempo las armas para luchar contra el Padre de la mentira, las armas para vencerlo son tres: ORACION, AYUNO Y LIMOSNA. La Oración para prepararnos a la lucha y tener la fuerza de resistir sus ataques. El Ayuno para decirle al demonio que no solo de pan vive el hombre, sino de toda palabra que sale de la boca de Dios. Y la Limosna para quitarle poder que ejerce sobre nosotros atreves de los vicios y pecados y decirle: <<apártate de mí satanás>> Padre Sergio St. Vincent de Paul Church Reunión obligatoria para Padres de Familia Les comunicamos a todos los padres de familia; de los niños que asisten al segundo año de preparación para recibir el sacramento de la Primera Comunión.

La Iglesia San Vicente de Paul, invita a las parejas que viven en unión libre o que están casadas por lo civil y que les gustaría que su matrimonio sea bendecido a que participen en una ceremonia de Convalidación matrimonial en la Iglesia Católica. La iglesia ofrecerá la convalidación y bendición de matrimonios por la Iglesia Católica el día 27 de junio del 2015. Convalidación proviene de una palabra en Latín que significa" afirmar o "fortalecer" La convalidación no es simplemente una renovación de votos realizados anteriormente, sino es un nuevo acto de consentimiento de cada uno de los cónyuges. Esta convalidación de Matrimonio es celebrada en la Misa. Su matrimonio se convertirá en sacramento y será registrado en el libro de Sacramentos de la Iglesia.

Page Six February 22, 2015 Confession Saint John of the Cross writes: “Many want to be favorites of their confessors and thus they are consumed by a thousand envies and disquietudes. Embarrassment forbids them from relating their sins clearly, lest their reputation diminish in their confessor’s eyes. They confess their sins in the most favorable light so they appear better than they actually are, and thus they approach the confessional to excuse themselves rather than to accuse themselves. Sometimes they confess the evil things they do to a different confessor so that their own confessor might think they commit no sins at all. “Therefore, in their desire to appear holy, they enjoy relating their good behavior to their confessor and in such careful terms that these good deeds appear greater than they really are. It would be more humble of them to make light of the good they do and to wish that no one, neither their confessor or anyone else consider it of any importance at all. “Sometimes they minimize their faults and at other times, they become discouraged by them, since they felt they were already saints, and then they become impatient and angry with themselves, which is yet another fault. They are often extremely anxious that God remove their faults and imperfections, but their motive is personal peace rather than God. They fail to realize that, were God to remove their faults, they might very well become more proud and presumptuous. “They dislike praising anyone else but they love to receive praise and sometimes they even seek it. In this way, they resemble the Foolish Virgins w ho had to seek oil from others when their own lamps were extinguished… “Souls, however, who are advancing in perfection act in an entirely different manner and with a different quality of spirit during this period. They receive great benefit from their humility by which they not only place little importance on their deeds but also take very little self-satisfaction from them.” (from The Foolish Virgins Saint John of the Cross) St. Vincent de Paul Church DO YOU ENJOY THE OUTDOORS?

Please visit our website: www.svdphb.org Page Seven February 22, 2015 POSTURES FOR THE MASS The Our Father St. Vincent de Paul Church Weekly Calendar - Calendario Semanal Monday, February 23: Many people have become accustomed to joining hands during the Our Father as a sign of unity. But the real sign of unity at Mass is being united together in Jesus in receiving Holy Communion. So, in our parish, for the Lord’s Prayer, people are encouraged to either fold their hands or raise them in what is known as the “prayer posture” – hands opened and turned to God. After the Lord’s Prayer, the hands are lowered and not kept raised during the continuing prayers (Deliver us, Lord, from every evil…For the kingdom and the power…).
