Fast and Abstinence

for Ash Wednesday March 6, 2019

Rules for Roman Catholics in

the United States The law of fasting refers to "those

who have attained their majority," which may differ from

culture to culture and country to country. In the United States,

the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has

declared that "the age of fasting is from the completion of the

eighteenth year to the beginning of the sixtieth."

The USCCB also allows the substitution of some other form

of penance for abstinence on all Fridays of the year, except

for the Fridays of Lent.

The rules for fasting and abstinence in the United States are:

Every person 14 years of age or older must abstain from

meat (and items made with meat) on Ash Wednesday,

Good Friday, and every Friday of Lent.

Every person between the ages of 18 and 59 (your 18th

birthday completes your 18th year, and your 59th birthday

begins your 60th year) must fast on Ash Wednesday and

Good Friday.

Fasting consists of one full meal per day, with two

smaller meals that do not add up to a full meal, and no

snacks. Every person 14 years of age or older must abstain from

meat on all other Fridays of the year unless he or she

substitutes some other form of penance for abstinence. If you

are outside the United States, check with the bishops'

conference for your country for specific fasting rules. Courtesy of ThoughtCo.com by Scott P. Richert

Breaking Bread Homeless Ministries News From The Streets…

Forever Sowing Seeds of Love Part 2

By Mary Martha Primerano Once the teenagers came up close, they saw Walt

and recognized our SUV. One of them exclaimed, “Hey! I know you! I remember you from when I was a little kid. You gave me a blanket. And you read us Bible stories.”

That small statement is why we go out and encour-age those who are broken, lost, or alone. Those teenagers actually remembered the daily devotional Walt had read to them, and it mattered. You see, I’ve heard it said before that we may be the only Bible some people read. Our job is to show them that there is a God in heaven who loves them very much and has not forgotten them.

At Breaking Bread, we understand that there are other ministries who come after us and reap the harvest of our seeds sown, but that’s okay because that is how God’s kingdom works. John 4:37 says, “For here the saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’” Because of the exam-ples Jesus and his disciples left us, we have come to realize that we all work as one.

If interested in volunteering please contact: Walt Primerano 713.661.7167 or breakingbreadhomeless@gmail.com

“Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting; the woman

who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30.

PAGINA 6 VIII DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO, CICLO C 3 DE MARZO DEL 2019

AL ÁRBOL SUS FRUTOS

Lc 6, 39-45.- El Evangelio de hoy está compuesto por distintas

comparaciones, imágenes y sentencias de Jesús. Cada una daría

para reflexionar sobre ella. Quiero detenerme un rato en la última

comparación, la del árbol y sus frutos. Mediante esta imagen, el

Evangelio nos da hoy un criterio de discernimiento, una lección

de prudencia sobrenatural. Para juzgar a un hombre, un movi-

miento, una doctrina, no debemos dejarnos llevar por sus aparien-

cias o sus declaraciones. No debemos fijarnos en sus palabras,

sino hemos de mirar sus obras y sus realizaciones. “Cada árbol se

conoce por sus frutos”, nos recuerda Jesús. Es por eso que no nos

convencemos demasiado de prisa. Nos gusta conocer las frutas,

observar la eficacia, fijarnos en los hechos y en los resultados. El

Padre José Kentenich, Fundador del Movimiento de Schoenstatt

diría: ¡queremos observar la resultante creadora! Pero más prove-

choso todavía nos resulta, utilizar este criterio no solamente en lo

que se refiere a las demás, sino emplearlo también con nosotros

mismos. Así sabremos si somos realmente auténticos cristianos o

no. También nosotros somos como los árboles. Y la pregunta es,

si producimos frutos útiles, sabrosos, provechosos para Dios y

para los demás. ¿Los hermanos vienen a confortarse y alimentar-

se de nosotros? ¿Se dirigen a nosotros cuando necesitan un conse-

jo, una ayuda, un servicio?

Y allí cabe esa otra palabra de Jesús, tan clara y contundente: “No

el que dice 'Señor, Señor´ entrará en el Reino de los Cielos, sino

el que cumple la voluntad de mi Padre” (Mt 7,21). Hoy hemos

venido a esta Eucaristía y decimos: “Señor, Señor”. Pero esto no

basta, si no consigue cambiar nuestra vida de cada día, si no nos

lleva a cumplir la voluntad del Padre. Y la voluntad del Padre nos

exige justicia para con los que dependen de nosotros, amor para

con los que nos rodean, ayuda para con los que la necesitan.

¿Para qué reunirnos aquí todas las semanas para cumplir unos

cuantos ritos y oraciones, si al salir no ha cambiado nada en nues-

tro corazón, en nuestra conducta, en nuestras costumbres? ¿Para

qué participar en esta Misa dominical, si al salir no nos amamos

más que antes, si no nos reconciliamos con los hermanos aleja-

dos? Es el peligro de toda religión: realizar gestos y ritos sin cam-

biar el comportamiento de cada día. No nos servirá de nada, apo-

yarnos en nuestras Misas dominicales, cuando llegue el día del

juicio: sólo entrarán al Reino celestial los que cumplen la volun-

tad del Padre. O nuestras confesiones. Nuestras confesiones no

nos sirven para nada si no nos enseñan a perdonar, también noso-

tros, a cuantos nos han ofendido. Solo hay una cosa que Dios no

puede perdonarnos: que no perdonemos nosotros mismos a los

demás. No hemos recibido el perdón de veras, si no lo hemos

transmitido a los otros. No hemos conocido el amor de Dios si no

amamos a nuestros hermanos. Cristo ha querido una religión en

espíritu y en verdad, no una religión de frases y fingimientos. Los

frutos que demos, han de ser testigos de la vida divina que mora

en nosotros. Nuestra conducta debe responder de nuestra fe.

Nuestro amor a los hombres debe probar nuestro amor a Dios.

Queridos hermanos, al salir de la Eucaristía de hoy, ojalá haya

cambiado algo, no sólo en nuestro amor a Dios, sino también en

nuestra relación para con los hermanos.

¡Qué así sea! En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu San-

to. Amén.

Padre Nicolás Schwizer
