CATHOLIC PARISH

Existe una relación profunda entre la Primera Lectu- ra y el Evangelio de la Liturgia de hoy. Moisés, mandado por el Señor, habla a la asamblea de la siguiente manera:

“Sean santos, porque yo, el Señor, soy santo.” (Levítico 19:2).

Se daba la ley de la santidad donde toda la asamblea era invitada. Dios, por medio de Moisés, ordenaba al pueblo de Israel a ser santo como Él. Jesús daba a sus discípulos la misma dirección, no solo de santidad sino de perfección.

¡Santos y perfectos! Cada día es una oportunidad para ser mejor que el día anterior; es una oportunidad perfecta para escalar la santidad. Jesús, en el Evangelio, habla hasta de si alguien “te golpea la mejilla derecha, ofrécele también la otra.” (Mateo 5:39). ¿Qué significa esto? ¿Cómo vivirlo en la sociedad violenta en que vivimos?

Significa que todos debemos de poner un grani- to de arena yendo más allá de las necesidades de la otra persona; no se acepta el conformismo. La perfección es precisamente estirar el servicio al otro hasta que duela. Es decir, haciendo actos buenos sin dramatismo. Visitar un enfermo, saludar al vecino, escuchándose en familia sin gritos ni peleas que lastiman y amargan el día. La santidad se construye con actos pequeños; los santos así se forjaron.

Santa Teresa de Calcuta decía que: “Haz cosas ordinarias con un amor extraordinario. El amor comienza en casa, y no es cuánto hacemos, sino por la cantidad de amor que pon- emos en la acción que hacemos.” (Solía decir estas palabras, según un sacerdote amigo de ella). ©LPi

THANK YOU!

The Gospels continue to challenge us to the core.

This is especially true in the way our social relationships have developed. Feeling safe and secure in the world are not things that come easily these days. Actually, we may fi nd ourselves feeling more reservation, caution, reluctance, and fear than ever before. In a moment’s notice, life can drastically change. When someone has been intentionally and violently hurt, especially someone we love, we can all too easily fi nd ourselves very attracted to the Old Testa- ment philosophy of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.”

Intellectually, we know this is not what Jesus wants us to do. But on some level it just seems to make practical or even political sense. After all, why should we allow some- one to get away with a heinously violent act? Yet, Jesus cannot be any clearer than he is with this! Off er no resis- tance to one who is evil. Turn the other cheek as well. When pressed into service, go two miles. Do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow. Love your enemies. Now, take a moment to refl ect on all of this. Consider a horrible act

of violence committed against someone you love. Listen.

Think. Be honest. Can you do as Jesus directs?

We want to be holy. But we are more comfortable with a defi nition of holiness that can keep us saying our prayers and on our knees in church. We are not comfort- able with a defi nition of holiness that has something to say about to how we react to and negotiate life. We like to keep a sharp and strong line between the secular and the sacred.

In fact, we would prefer that the doors between them be kept closed. God wants us to be holy as He is holy. If God sees this one way and we see it another, then where does this leave us on our journey to God?

Our minds like the practical, worldly, and secular answers to things. They are more black and white and at fi rst glance appear to make more sense. Holiness wells up from our souls and is beyond reason. It cannot be ex- plained. It is something we just simply know comes as a result of deep prayer. The truly contemplative eye knows inwardly that what Jesus asks is true and then willingly does it. It may not be easy. ©LPi

Adoration Chapel

Don’t forget: St. Vincent de Paul has an Adoration (of the Blessed Sacrament) Chapel! 

This would is a perfect opportunity for you to deepen your faith during Lent.

We always need people to commit to spending “An hour with our Lord,” and the church prefers there to always be two present, but there must be at least one.  Those who are in a

position to commit to a specific hour are a great grace and gift the rest of the community -- Thank you!  Because they commit to a certain hour, it means that while the chapel is open ANY of the rest of us can come and pray for any length of time, even a “visit” as little

as a minute or two!  If you would like to commit to an hour, please call Cathy Kelsey (660-827-1246) or the parish office.  For all others, simply stop by the

chapel while it’s open to spend any amount of time with our Lord!  

Sunday 11am-9pm; Mon-Thu 9am-9pm, Fri 9am-6pm.

Adoration at St. John’s Worship Site Wednesday 7:30pm to 8:30pm All Are Welcome!

This is an exciting oppor- tunity for everyone to have their voices heard. 

Each week is one 90-minute session held at the desired location of the small group. Small groups can be 2-8 peo- ple, more or less. One response per group is handed into the Sacred Heart office via email, written or handed to one of the priests at the end of each week.

The four topics are stewardship, co-re- sponsibility, charity and mercy. No dis- cussion of money. Handouts are available from Dianne in the office or on line at

Lenten Regulations

As another Lenten journey of conversion begins with Ash Wednesday on February 26, and ends with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, April 9, Holy Mother Church calls all Catholics to a deeper spirit of penance, fasting, almsgiving and prayer, “which express conversion in relation to oneself, to God, and to others” (Catechism of the Catholic Church # 1434 & 1969).

In order to foster a greater spirit of penance, of reparation for sin, to encourage self-denial, and so guide us more closely in the footsteps of Christ, Holy Mother Church reminds us of the following obligations of fast and absti- nence during Lent and also admonishes us all to deeper prayer and worship.

1. Abstinence: all persons who have al- ready celebrated their 14th birthday are bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, all Fridays of Lent and Good Friday.

2. Fasting: everyone, from the celebra- tion of their 18th birthday to their 59th birthday, is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Fasting is generally understood to mean eating only one full meal each day. 

Two other partial meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken;

but together they should not equal another full meal.  Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids are allowed.

Voluntary fasting on other weekdays of Lent is highly recommended.  But please note: when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, neither the law of fasting nor the law of abstinence obliges.  These are min- imal penitential practices and should not be lightly excused.  If in doubt, please consult your parish priest.

Other recommended forms of fasting, as regards alcoholic drink, needless television, video games, internet use, and social entertainment, are of true spiritual value and strongly encour- aged.

3. Almsgiving: The act of giving to the poor, in the most ancient tradition of the Church, is an expression of penance, a witness of fraternal charity, and an expression of Lenten conversion. Therefore, all Catholics are encouraged to support generous- ly the charitable works of the whole Church: through regular stewardship to their parish, support of charities, and their generous response to the diocesan Catholic Stewardship Appeal.

4. Prayer:  In order to deepen one’s love for Christ, Catholics are urged all the more to participate in the Sacramental life of the Church during Lent by attending daily Mass and frequenting the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation.

Baptism:  Infants are properly baptized on Easter Sunday or throughout Easter Time.

Lent is also a privileged time for celebrating

the Sacrament of Reconciliation, including its communal celebration.  At communal cel- ebrations of Reconciliation, however, general absolution is not permitted by the Law of the Church.

Regarding the Sacrament Of Penance For Baptized Adults Seeking Full Communion With The Church, any previously baptized adult to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church should appropriately cel- ebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation before the Easter Vigil.

Holy Thursday Adoration:  The Roman Missal for Holy Thursday states: “The faithful are invit- ed to continue adoration before the Blessed Sacrament for a suitable length of time during the night, according to local circumstances, but after midnight the adoration should take place without solemnity.”

Easter Duty: All Catholics who have been initiated into the Holy Eucharist are bound to receive Holy Communion worthily at least once during Easter Time.  Of course, Catholics are encouraged to receive Communion as often as possible, not only during Eastertide. 

However, anyone conscious of a grave sin must receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before approaching to receive Holy Communion.

Reglamento Cuaresmal

Mientras otro viaje de conversión cuaresmal comienza con el Miércoles de Ceniza el 26 de febrero y termina con la Misa de la Cena del Señor el Jueves Santo 9 de abril, la Santa Madre Iglesia llama a todos los católicos a un espíritu más profundo de penitencia, ayuno, limosna y oración, “que expresa conversión en relación con uno mismo, con Dios y con los demás”.

(Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica #1434 y 1969).

Con el fin de fomentar un mayor espíritu de penitencia, de reparación por el pecado, para alentar la abnegación y así guiarnos más de cerca en los pasos de Cristo, la Santa Madre Ig- lesia nos recuerda las siguientes obligaciones de ayuno y abstinencia durante la Cuaresma y también nos exhorta a todos a una oración y adoración más profunda.

1. Abstinencia: todas las personas que ya han celebrado su cumpleaños número 14 están obligadas a absten- erse de comer carne el Miércoles de Ceniza, todos los viernes de Cuares- ma y el Viernes Santo.

2. Ayuno: todos desde la celebración de su cumpleaños número 18 hasta el cumpleaños número 59, están obligados a ayunar el miércoles de ceniza y el Viernes Santo. Por lo gen- eral, se entiende que ayudar significa comer sólo una comida completa al día. Se pueden tomar dos comidas parciales, suficientes para mantener la fuerza pero juntas no deberían de igualar otra comida. No se permite comer entre comidas, pero se permit- en líquidos. Se recomienda encareci- damente el ayuno voluntario en otros días de la semana de Cuaresma.  Pero tenga en cuenta: cuando la salud o la capacidad de trabajar se vean seria- mente afectadas, ni la ley del ayuno

ni la ley de la abstinencia lo obligan. 

Estas son prácticas penitenciales mínimas y no deben ser excusadas a la ligera.  En caso de duda, consulte a su párroco.

 Otras formas recomendadas de ayuno, en lo que respecta a la bebida alcohólica, la televisión innecesaria, los videojuegos, el uso de Internet y el entretenimiento social, son de ver- dadero valor espiritual y altamente recomendables.

 3. Dar limosna: El acto de dar a los pobres, en la tradición más antigua de la Iglesia, es una expresión de penitencia, un testigo de caridad fraterna y una expresión de conversión cuaresmal.  Por lo tanto, se alienta a todos los católicos a que apoyen generosamente las obras de caridad de toda la Iglesia:

a través de la administración regular de su parroquia, el apoyo de organizaciones benéficas y su respuesta generosa a la Llamada de Administración Católica diocesana.

 4. Oración: para profundizar el amor de uno por Cristo, se insta a los católicos a participar en la vida sacramental de la Iglesia durante la Cuaresma asistiendo a la misa diaria y frecuentando el sacramento de la penitencia y la reconciliación.

Bautismo: los bebés se bautizan adecua- damente el domingo de Pascua o durante todo el tiempo de Pascua.

 La Cuaresma es también un tiempo priv- ilegiado para celebrar el Sacramento de la Reconciliación, incluida su celebración comunitaria.  En las celebraciones comu- nales de Reconciliación, sin embargo, la absolución general no está permitida por la Ley de la Iglesia.

 Con respecto al sacramento de la penitencia para los adultos bautizados que buscan la comunión plena con la Iglesia, cualquier adulto previamente ba- utizado para ser recibido en la comunión plena de la Iglesia Católica debe celebrar apropiadamente el Sacramento de la Rec- onciliación antes de la Vigilia Pascual.

 Adoración del Jueves Santo: El Misal Romano para el Jueves Santo dice: “Se invita a los fieles a continuar la adoración ante el Santísimo Sacramento durante un período de tiempo adecuado durante la noche, de acuerdo con las circunstancias locales, pero después de la medianoche la adoración debe tener lugar sin solem- nidad.  “

 Deber de Pascua: Todos los católicos que han sido iniciados en la Sagrada Eucar- istía están obligados a recibir la Sagrada Comunión al menos una vez durante el ti- empo de Pascua.  Por supuesto, se alienta a los católicos a recibir la comunión con la mayor frecuencia posible, no solo durante la Semana Santa.  Sin embargo, cualquier persona consciente de un pecado grave debe recibir el Sacramento de la Recon- ciliación antes de acercarse para recibir la Sagrada Comunión.
