MARCH O6 In the Roman Catholic Church, Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, the season of preparation for the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday. While Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation, all Roman Catholics are encouraged to attend Mass on this day and to receive ashes on their foreheads in order to mark the beginning of the Lenten season. The ashes are made by burning the blessed palms that were distributed the previous year on Palm Sunday. After the priest blesses the ashes and sprinkles them with holy water, the faithful come forward to receive them. The priest dips his right thumb in the ashes and, making the Sign of the Cross on each person's forehead, says, "Remember, man, that thou art dust, and to dust thou shalt return" (or a variation on those words). The distribution of ashes reminds us of our own mortality and calls us to repentance. In the early Church, Ash Wednesday was the day on which those who had sinned, and who wished to be readmitted to the Church, would begin their public penance. The ashes that we receive are a reminder of our own sinfulness, and many Catholics leave them on their foreheads all day as a sign of humility. The Church emphasizes the penitential nature of Ash Wednesday by calling us to fast and abstain from meat. Catholics who are over the age of 18 and under the age of 60 are required to fast, which means that they can eat only one complete meal and two smaller ones during the day, with no food in between. Catholics who are over the age of 14 are required to refrain from eating any meat, or any food made with meat, on Ash Wednesday. This fasting and abstinence is not simply a form of penance, however; it is also a call for us to take stock of our spiritual lives. As Lent begins, we should set specific spiritual goals we would like to reach before Easter and decide how we will pursue them—for instance, by going to daily Mass when we can and receiving the Sacrament of Confession more often.

St. Vincent De Paul Society Hotline Number 916-733-2010 Even the most mundane acts of service that we do, like making a donation to support the poor, have immense spiritual value. It is our way of thanking God for all the gifts he has given us. Everything we are and everything we have are gifts from God; we have so much to be grateful for! Let us all strive to be servants to the poor in return for all He has done for us. Thank you for your ongoing generosity and kindness toward those who are struggling in our parish. We appreciate your financial gifts, as well as your donations of nonperishable food items, so we can serve the needy in our area. Thank you!

ESPACIO CATEQUÍSTICO ¨EL CATEQUISTA ES EL CORAZÓN DE LA IGLESIA¨

JESÚS, FUENTE DE NUESTRO SERVICIO CATEQUÍSTICO CATEQUISTAS

“Un catequista siempre tiene las pilas puestas… me dijo una señora a la quele pedí me dijera quién era un catequista. Y me pareció una respuesta tan sabia y tan real porque ciertamente al recordar lo ven mis ojos cada sábado en la catequesis y en todos los encuentros y momentos con ellos, la imagen que me dejan es de siempre disponibilidad y prontitud para el servicio. Muchas veces no valoramos lo que está detrás de esa entrega, de esa disponibilidad, puedo mencionar los casos más recientes que me ha tocado escuchar: sister, mi hija, la pequeña está con pulmonía; sister a mi mamá la dializan y mi hermana tiene cáncer y yo soy la que trabajo, sister ayer falté a la formación porque llevé a mi mamá al hospital, sister entro a trabajar a las 3 de las mañana, … y el regalo que me dejan es que en todos esas realidades, los veo con una alegría por venir a dar un servicio a los niños, a los padres, a los jóvenes, una alegría que no tiene otra fuente que la de Cristo.

Los catequistas son admirables, porque no sólo dan con alegría su tiempo tan preciado en la catequesis, sino sobre todo dan su fe, su entereza y confianza en Dios, cuando escuchan, animan y acompañan desde su propia experiencia. Algunas veces reciben reclamos de los padres, gritos de los niños, pero siempre estarán ahí, con las pilas cargadas en Cristo esperando entregarlo en la catequesis.

FORMACIÓN PERMANENTE

QUEREMOS FORMARNOS ACOMPAÑÁNDONOS… Por eso con las diferentes catequesis en la Parroquia nos encontraremos mensualmente para compartir nuestra experiencia catequística y así aprender todos de todos. Ahora les compartimos el objetivo de nuestro encuentro con la catequesis de LENTO APRENDIZAJE. Objetivo: Conocer y aprender el sentido de la catequesis de lento aprendizaje, así como sus necesidades, retos y modos de realizarla, para ofrecer un acompañamiento de calidad y calidez a los niños que se nos confían.
