FORGIVING AN ENEMY Who has not forgiven an enemy has not yet tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life. —Johann Kaspar Lavater
15 DE DICIEMBRE DE 2019|TERCER DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO
THE DISCIPLINE OF LENT
February 26th, this Wednesday is ASH WEDNESDAY! Let us review the BASICS why we dive into Lent and Easter, the central seasons of our Faith.
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and continues until the afternoon of Maundy Thursday. Maundy is from the Latin “mandatum” which means command, Our Lord’s command to love one another by “washing each other’s feet”. Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Black Saturday comprise the Paschal Triduum, the three-day preparation for the celebration of Easter.
The KEY to understanding Lent is simple: Baptism. Preparation for Baptism and for renewing baptismal commitment lies at the heart of the season. Since the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), the Church has re-emphasized the baptis-mal character of Lent, especially through the restoration of the Catechumenate and its Lenten rituals. Christ wants to lead us back to our baptismal promises of dying to sin and of living for God.
WHY 40 DAYS? The 40 days (excluding Sundays for they always commemorate Easter, The Resurrection) of fasting, prayer and penitence before Easter reflect two accounts: the 40 years of wandering by the Israelites and Our Lord Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness at which point He was victorious against the temptations of the devil.
THE 3 PILLARS OF LENT. Most of us think of something to GIVE UP during Lent. Why not have a paradigm shift, a conversion moment? Instead, GIVE SOMETHING HOLY to the Lord and our neighbor! It is better (and holy) to eat chocolate during Lent and be more prudent and loving with our words! “It is not what enters one’s mouth that defiles that person; but what comes out of the mouth is what defiles one.” (Matthew 15:11)
1. PRAYER: Give the Lord your TIME. Aside from Holy Mass, visit or better, be a committed adorer of Our Lord in our Perpetual Adoration chapel. Begin with 5-10 minutes once a week. Just be present, savor the sacred moment and listen, “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). You will be surprised that you desire more “like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is thirsting for you, my God!” (Cf. Psalm 42:1-6). Adoration is a power-ful loving encounter of “presences” where God gives us extra presents of grace, fruits of our dialogue with Him. This is deeper prayer and is guaranteed life changing!
2. FASTING AND ABSTINENCE. Share in the sufferings of Jesus who “emptied Himself and took the form of a slave” (Philippians 2:7). Discipline ourselves in loving God with OUR ALL (the heart, the mind, the hands and the stomach!) Days of Fasting AND Abstinence are only on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Fasting is for Catholics ages 18-59 to take 1 regular meal and 2 small meals, added together would not exceed the main meal in quantity. ALL FRIDAYS OF LENT are days of Abstinence (for ages 14 and older). No meat (i.e., flesh and or-gans of mammals and fowls). Fish, shellfish are allowed. “How can I repay the Lord for His goodness to me?” (Psalm 116:12) Why not broaden and deepen the meaning of fasting and abstinence by being more pa-tient, forgiving and vigilant against occasions of sin? Fast from hurting words and say kind words. Fast from Facebook and devote to pray the Rosary (better as a family). Fast from eating out on Fridays and be with the parish community in our Lenten Dinner and pray the Stations of the Cross.
3. ALMSGIVING (WORKS OF MERCY). “Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mark 12:31) “Faith without good works is dead.” (James 2:17) “I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it.” (Our Lord of Divine Mercy to St. Faustina. Diary #742)
Corporal Works of Mercy: feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless,visit the prisoners, comfort the sick, bury the dead. (Cf. Matthew 25:31-46)
Spiritual Works of Mercy: instruct the ignorant, counsel the doubtful, admonish the sinner, bear wrongs patiently, forgive offenses willingly, comfort the afflicted, pray for the living and the dead
We are not only to receive the mercy of God but to use it by being merciful to others through our actions, words and prayers. It is a mark of living faith to grow in and practice the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. The works of mercy are from Our Lord’s words Himself teaching us (and warning us) that we shall be judged according to how much we have been merciful, “Whatsoever you do to the least, you do unto Me.” (Matthew 25:40)

SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN
DID YOU KNOW Visiting clergy members are VIRTUS® trained A priest who is visiting the Arch-diocese to minister for more than 15 days is required to complete a VIRTUS® Protecting God’s Children Adult Awareness Program, or present certification that
states they have already completed a safe environment pro-gram. Archdiocesan officials will review alternative safe envi-ronment programs to ensure that they meet the standards held in our archdiocese for content and training protocols. These re-quirements are not just for priests — any bishop, deacon, reli-gious brother or sister ministering in the archdiocese, must be cleared before beginning their ministry.
