+ LENT 2019 ST THERESE OF LISIEUX PARISH MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS FOR LENT 2019
“For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God” (Rm 8: 19)
Dear brothers and sisters, the “lenten” period of forty days spent by the Son of God in the desert of creation had the goal of making it once more that garden of communion with God that it was before original sin (cf. Mk 1:12-13; Is 51:3). May our Lent this year be a journey along that same path, bringing the hope of Christ also to creation, so that it may be “set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God” (Rom 8:21). Let us not allow this season of grace to pass in vain! Let us ask God to help us set out on a path of true conversion. Let us leave behind our selfishness and self-absorption, and turn to Jesus’ Pasch. Let us stand beside our brothers and sisters in need, sharing our spiritual and material goods with them. In this way, by concretely welcoming Christ’s victory over sin and death into our lives, we will also radiate its transforming power to all of creation. From the Vatican,
We are invited to read the complete letter of his Holiness. A copy is posted in the church. MAKE SMART GOALS FOR LENT K.I.S.S: KEEP IT SIMPLE SERVANTS
With 3 PILLARS: Pray, Fast, Almsgiving For examples 1 - You can join us every day. We say the liturgy of the hours every morning 30 minutes before Mass at 8:30 am books are available
2- You can sign up to adore the LORD during the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament every Friday from 10:00 am to 7:00 PM follow by the stations of the cross 3- You can pray with the 7 Penitential Psalms: 6 – 32- 38 – 51 – 102- 130-143 4- Go to confession before Easter. 5- You can come to Church every day at 3:00 pm to say the Divine Mercy chaplet followed by the Stations of the Cross. 6- You can Adopt someone to pray for; it could be a priest, a religious sister, etc. 7- Share wisely your time, talent, and treas-ure with the needy
+ LENT Let's Eliminate Negative Thinking
Fast & Abstinence
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.
For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the
norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until
age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat
one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that
together are not equal to a full meal. The norms
concerning abstinence from meat are binding up-
on members of the Latin Catholic Church from age
14 onwards. Read Mt 25
