Lent begins Wednesday, ASH WEDNESDAY, February 17th, with
the traditional blessing and distribution of ashes, a sacramental of
the Catholic Church. Ashes will be distributed during our two
Masses, at 8:00 am and 5:30 pm, and our two Liturgies of the Word
at 12:15 pm and 7:30 pm. Please plan to join with your brothers and
sisters in Christ as we begin this season of prayer, penance and
good works. In fact, why not invite a few of your non-church-going
friends or relatives to join you in beginning this holy season of
prayer and spiritual growth.
Lent is a special time in the life of every Christian. It is a time to slow
down and reflect on how we are living our Christian faith. It is a time
in which we can grow in our faith by paying better attention to our
prayer, by reading and reflecting on God’s Word and our faith, by
doing corporal works of penance that help us to understand better
our dependence upon a loving God, and by “committing” acts of
charity that enable us to celebrate our oneness with the people of
the world. St. Mark’s Parish offers a number of opportunities to help
you in making Lent a special time of spiritual growth for you and
your family:
• Each Friday night we will pray the STATIONS OF THE CROSS
at 7:00 pm.(By the way, don’t forget that the Knights of Columbus
will offer their annual Fish Dinners every Friday of Lent except Good
Friday.)
• SACRAMENT OF PENANCE (Confessions): Saturdays, 4:00-5:
00 pm and Fridays following Stations of the Cross.
• PARISH RETREAT: February 28, March 1, 2 and 3, 7:00 PM
to 8:15 PM.
• RICE BOWL project – an annual program of Catholic Relief
Services to provide food for the hungry.
Lent is a special time of communal and individual self-sacrifice. The
rules for Fast and Abstinence are as follows:
• LENTEN ABSTINENCE applies to Ash Wednesday, Good
Friday and the Fridays of Lent. All Catholics who are 14 years of
age or older (this begins the day after your 14th birthday) are to
refrain from eating meat or meat products on these days. (This
does not apply to fish, eggs, or milk products.)
• LENTEN FAST is mandatory on Ash Wednesday and Good
Friday and applies to all Catholics who have completed their 18th
birthday (i.e., the day after their 18th birthday until they have
completed their 59th year (i.e., the day after their 59th birthday.
“Fasting means taking only one full meal and two smaller meals that,
taken together, do not equal one full meal.” (Catholic Courier,
February 2007, page 2)
Of course, everyone is encouraged to do other acts of penance,
including personal fasts or deprivations, and charity during Lent,
and, indeed, throughout the whole year.
