LENT
Lent is a preparation for Easter. Easter celebrates the victory of Jesus and our participation in that victory by our Baptism. Lent prepares us to renew our Baptism.
Lent imitates Jesus' fast in the desert. As Jesus prepared for His public ministry by 40 days of prayer and fasting, so we prepare for Spirit-filled life in Christ by 40 days of prayer and fasting.
Lent is a time of return and renewal. Have you wandered away from the Lord?
Fallen into sin? COME BACK! Has your prayer and your faith and your love dried up? RENEW!
In Church tradition, Lent is marked by 3 activities:
1. Prayer: Allow the Holy Spirit to put
you into contact with the living Lord Jesus [Why not come to daily Mass, or the Stations of the Cross in Lent? Or come on Tuesday or Friday mornings for adoration before the Blessed Sacrament.]
2. Penance: By fasting and acts of self-denial, let your heart experience your sorrow for
sin and recreate the openness of the desert within you;
3. Acts of Service: Imitate the Lord by giving yourself in service to those who need you.
[We encourage you to participate in the Rice Bowl Program or even become a volunteer in some parish activity.
We encourage you to come to our ASH WEDNESDAY TRI-LINGUAL MASS at 7:30
PM, where the parish will commit itself as a family to a Spirit-filled Lent. We also encourage you to come to the FRIDAY NIGHT STATIONS OF THE CROSS AND BENEDICTION, at 7:30 PM, as a Lenten practice. During the third week of Lent, March 22ND to March 26th, we will hold a Week of Eucharistic Adoration. One special aspect of Lent is that it is preparation for the Easter Sacraments. At many Sunday Masses, you will be asked to pray with those young people and adults who are preparing for Baptism, Confirmation or Communion at Easter in our RCIA Program. Come, live Lent with us at Holy Cross.

LE CARÊME
Le Carême est une préparation pour la Pâque. La Pâque célèbre la victoire de Jésus et notre participation dans cette victoire par notre Baptême. Le Carême nous prépare à renouveler notre Baptême.
Le Carême imite le jeûne de Jésus au désert.
Comme Jésus S'est préparé pour Son ministère publique par 40 jours de prière et jeûne, nous aussi nous préparons pour une vie remplie de l'Esprit par 40 jours de prière et de jeûne.
Le Carême est un temps de retourner et de renouveler. Est-ce que vous êtes allé loin du
Seigneur? Êtes-vous tombé en péché?
RETOURNEZ! Votre prière et votre foi et votre amour, se sont-elles desséchées?
RENOUVELEZ!
Dans la tradition de l'Église, le Carême est marqué par trois grandes activités:
1. La Prière: Laissez l'Esprit-Saint vous mettre en contact avec le Seigneur vivant, Jésus. [Vous pourriez assister à la Messe de chaque jour, ou venez au Chemin de la Croix pendant Carême. Ou venez le mardi ou le vendredi pour adoration devant le Saint- Sacrement.]
2. Pénitence: Par le jeûne et d'autres actes d'auto-négation, laissez votre cœur expérimente votre douleur pour le péché et récréez le désert en vous-mêmes.
0487 - Holy Cross, Brooklyn
3. Actes de Service: Imitez le Seigneur en vous donnant au service aux autres qui ont besoin de vous. [Nous vous encourageons à participer au Programme Bols du Riz. Ou de vous faire un volontaire dans une activité de la paroisse.]
Le Mercredi des Cendres, nous vous encourageons à venir à notre MESSE SOLENNELLE EN TROIS LANGUES à 7h30 PM, où la paroisse va s'engager comme une famille à un Carême comblé de l'Esprit. Aussi nous vous encourageons à venir chaque VENDREDI SOIR au
CHEMIN DE LA CROIX pour les Haïtiens à 7h30 PM dans la chapelle, comme une pratique de Carême. Nous aurons une Semaine d'Adoration Eucharistique, du 22 au 26 mars.
Une dimension spéciale du Carême est qu'il est le temps de la préparation pour les sacrements de Pâques. Pendant plusieurs Messes dominicales, on va vous demander de prier avec les jeunes et les adultes qui se préparent pour le Baptême, la Confirmation ou la Communion cette Pâque dans notre Programme de la RICA.
Venez et priez avec eux ce Carême. Tandis qu'ils entre dans la plénitude de la vie Chrétienne, venez renouveler la vie en Jésus le Seigneur. Venez vivre la Carême avec Holy Cross!

LA CUARESMA
La Cuaresma es una preparación para la Pascua. La Pascua celebra la victoria de Jesús y nuestra participación en esa victoria por el Bautismo. La Cuaresma nos prepara para renovar el Bautismo.
La Cuaresma imita el ayuno de Jesús en el desierto. Como Jesús así también nosotros nos preparamos por una vida llena del Espíritu de Jesús por 40 días de oración y de ayuno.
La Cuaresma es un tiempo de volver y de renovar. ¿Te has caído en pecado? ¡VUELVE! Tu oración y tu fe y tu amor, ¿se han secado?
¡RENUÉVATE!
En la tradición de la Iglesia, la Cuaresma se nota por tres grandes actividades:
1. La Oración: Deja que el Espíritu Santo te ponga en contacto con el Dios vivo [Quizás la Misa diaria, o el Via Crucis, o adoración ante el Santísmo los martes o los viernes];
2. La Penitencia: Por el ayuno y actos de auto-negación, que tu corazón experimente el dolor por el pecado y que se recree el desierto adentro;
3. Actos de Servicio: Imita al Señor en el darse al servicio para los que te necesitan.
(Le animamos a participar en el programa de las Tazas de Arroz.
Te exhortamos a venir a nuestra MISA SOLEMNE DEL MIÉRCOLES DE CENIZAS a las 7:30 PM, donde la parroquia se comprometerá a vivir una Cuaresma en el Espíritu. Además, te exhortamos a venir a EL
VIA CRUCIS EN ESPAÑOL, los domingos de Cuaresma 7:30 PM, como práctica Cuaresmal. Y tendremos una Semana Eucarística del 22 al 26 de marzo.
Un aspecto muy especial de la Cuaresma es la preparación para los Sacramentos de Pascua. En muchas de las Misas dominicales vamos a pedirte a orar con aquellos jóvenes y adultos que se preparan para el Bautismo, la Confirmación o la Comunión esta Pascua en nuestro programa de la RICA. Ven a caminar y orar con ellos esta Cuaresma. Al entrar ellos en la plenitud de la vida Cristiana, ven a renovar tu vida en Jesús el Señor.
¡Ven a vivir Cuaresma en la Santa Cruz!
