(773) Reflecting on God s Word These irst days of Jesus ministry present him preaching, teaching, and healing to bring people to know that God is near. His message and his deeds bring people back to full life in the community. By casting out demons and curing the sick he restores to full humanity those suffering from possession and illness. Today we ind Jesus confronting a condition that must have been even more excruciating leprosy. To be a leper was to be cut off from others in all ways. You were cast out of the community, isolated, doomed to live in deserted places, no longer part of the human family, unable to participate in any social events, and considered un it to worship God. It was assumed that if you had leprosy, you had sinned in some way. Your life was summed up in the words the Law of Moses told you to cry out whenever anyone came near, Unclean, unclean! For Jesus to touch a leper meant that in the eyes of others he also became unclean and un it to associate and worship with others. Even so, when a leper asked for healing, Jesus was unequivocal in his reply: I do will it. Be made clean (Mark 1:41). It is easy to hear in his response the authority of the Son of God, set on giving glory to his Father. Yet Jesus, ever respectful of the law, sent the man to the priest, as commanded in the book of Leviticus. In Jesus, pity took precedence over the law, but did not abolish it. James A.

3 Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page Three LENTEN REGULATIONS Abstinence from meats is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years old and older on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays of Lent. Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59. Those who are bound by this may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength according to one s needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted. The special Paschal fast and abstinence are prescribed for Good Friday and encouraged for Holy Saturday. By the threefold discipline of fasting, almsgiving and prayer the Church keeps Lent from Ash Wednesday until the evening of Holy Thursday. All of the faithful and the catechumens should undertake serious practice of these three traditions. Failure to observe any penitential days at all or a substantial number of such days must be considered serious. PRZEPISY WIELKOPOSTNE Wstrzemięźliwość od potraw mięsnych musi być przestrzegana przez wszystkich Katolików, którzy ukończyli 14 rok życia, w Środę Popielcową oraz we wszystkie piątki w okresie Wielkiego Postu. W Środę Popielcową wszyscy Katolicy, którzy ukończyli 18 rok życia a nie przekroczyli 59 lat, zobowiązani są do zachowania postu. Osoby, które mieszczą się w tych granicach wiekowych mogą spożyć jeden posiłek. Dwa mniejsze posiłki dozwolone są w przypadku gdy są one konieczne do utrzymania się danej osoby na siłach, ale jedzenie pomiędzy posiłkami nie jest dozwolone. Paschalny Post jak również wstrzemięźliwość od pokarmów mięsnych obowiązuje w Wielki Piątek i zachęca się do ich przestrzegania również w Wielką Sobotę. Kościół zaleca chrześcijanom trzy wielkopostne praktyki modlitwę, post i jałmużnę. Czasami zdarza się te praktyki lekceważyć, traktować jako opcje do wyboru, z których można, ale nie trzeba skorzystać. Tak naprawdę są one jednak esencją i fundamentem chrześcijańskiego życia. I to całego życia, a nie tylko czterdziestu dni Wielkiego Postu. Prayer, that process of listening to and responding to God's daily call, sustains and nurtures our relationship with our triune God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Without prayer, personal and communal, this relationship is diminished, sometimes to the point of complete silence on our part. Every day the Spirit of Jesus invites us to enter into that serious conversion that leads to blessed communion. Fasting, a very special form of penance, and Jesus' second call, has been a consistent part of our Catholic tradition. Fasting assists us in getting our own house in order. All of us have to deal with areas of servitude, whether in regard to smoking or alcohol consumption, misused sexuality, uncontrolled gambling, psychological hang-ups, spiritual obsessions, use of stimulants, etc. By fasting and self-denial, by living lives of moderation, we have more energy to devote to God's purposes and better self-esteem that helps us to be more concerned with the well-being of others. Voluntary fasting from food creates in us a greater openness to God's Spirit and deepens our compassion for those who are forced to go without food. The discomfort brought about by fasting unites us to the sufferings of Christ. Fasting should bring to mind the sufferings of all those for whom Christ suffered. One may refrain from certain foods strictly for dietary purposes, but this would not be Christian penance. Our weekly, and for some, daily, celebration of the Eucharist also afford us the opportunity to fast before receiving the Lord. This Eucharistic fast disposes us to experience more deeply the coming of the Lord and expresses our seriousness and reverence for the Lord's coming into our lives. Almsgiving, the third call of the Lord is give alms. Jesus was always concerned about those who were poor and in need. He was impressed by the widow who, thought have so little, shared her resources with others: "I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offering from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood" (Lk 21 :3-4). To be a disciple of Christ means to live a life of charity. To be a disciple of Jesus is to live a life of stewardship, generosity giving of our time, talent and treasure. Our Lord's threefold call to pray, fast and to give alms is richly interconnected. In prayer the Holy Spirit, always active in our lives, shows us those areas where we are not free, areas that call for penance, as well as those people who are in need of our care. Through fasting, our spirit becomes more open to hear God's call, and we receive new energies for performing works of charity. Almsgiving puts us in contact with the needy whom we then bring back to God in prayer. In our Catholic tradition we specify certain days and seasons for special works of penance. FRI- DAYS, on which we commemorate the death of the Lord, and LENT, our 40 days of preparation for the Easter mysteries.

4 WE ARE PRAYING FOR THE SICK MODLIMY SIĘ ZA CHORYCH Dear Heavenly Father, We place our worries in your hands.

Lamentations Gorzkie Żale Sunday, 6:00 PM in Polish Treasures from Our Tradition Lent, the Church s annual pre baptismal retreat, prepares us to gather around the Easter font, renew our baptismal vows, and receive new life from the water as the elect are plunged into Christ s death and resurrection. This core meaning is more or less available, depending on whether we journey with catechumens in the parish and on the vigor of our liturgical celebration of the Triduum. Some persist in seeing Lent as a lonely journey in the wilderness; yet this week we enter the Lenten fast in solidarity with one another. The smudged foreheads you will spy throughout Ash Wednesday on buses, street corners, and supermarket aisles remind you that you are hardly alone in your desire to enact a spring cleaning regime for your spiritual life. Long ago, this kind of repentance was available to Christians only once. Ashes and sackcloth were not raiment for a day, but permanent habits for public sinners. Fasting became a way of life, and if they sinned severely again, there was no hope of restored communion. Happily, this system did not endure. It produced reluctant Christians who even held back from baptism, like St. Augustine did, out of fear. Today we have recovered an ancient tradition that conversion and repentance are constant themes on life s journey, and that Lent is an annual opportunity to revive our baptismal identity, both as individuals and communities.
