LITURGY OF THE HOURS
MIDDAY PRAYER
We are praying together Midday Prayer on Monday
through Friday at Noon just prior to the 12:05 Mass. All
are welcome to pray together.
ASH WEDNESDAY MASS TIMES AND
GUIDELINES FOR LENT
This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.
Masses, with ashes distribution are at 12:05 and 7:00
PM upstairs in the main church.
The following is a list of Guidelines to help Catholics
observe this special season of prayer, penance and works of
charity.
· Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, in particular, are the
most important penitential days of the liturgical year.
They are days of both fast and abstinence. All Fridays
in Lent are days of abstinence.
· The rule of fasting states that only one full meal a day
can be taken. Two small meals, “sufficient to maintain
strength”, are allowed, but together should not equal
another full meal. Eating between meals breaks the
fast, but drinking liquids does not. The rule of fasting
obliges all Catholics from 18 to 59.
· Abstinence refers to the eating of meat. The common
estimation of the community is used to determine what
falls under the category of meat. The rule of
abstinence binds all Catholics 14 years or older.
· The substantial observance of the laws of fast and
abstinence is a serious obligation.
· Self-imposed fasting on the other weekdays of Lent is
recommended. Abstinence on all Fridays of the year is
also highly recommended.
· Parents and teachers should see to it that, even those who
are not bound by the laws of fast and abstinence because of
age, are to be brought up in an atmosphere that is
conducive to a sense of penance.
ASH WEDNESDAY SPECIAL COLLECTION
There will be a special collection on Ash Wednesday to
support Vermont Catholic Charities. This agency provides
financial and emotional support to individuals and families
throughout Vermont. These services include: Counseling,
Emergency Aid, Prison Ministry, Project Rachel and
Residential Care Homes and the Bishop DeGoesbriand
Grants for Human Advancement. These grants are
awarded to Vermont non-profit organizations which are
making a difference in the daily lives of people living in
their communities. Please know that every gift-whatever
the size-makes a difference. Thank you for your
generosity.
CONFESSIONS DURING LENT
Confessions will be available during Lent after all the
weekend Masses. These are in addition to our regularly
scheduled times.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS
Fr. Harlow will lead the Stations of the Cross each Friday
evening during Lent at 7:00 PM in the upstairs church.
Prayer cards with the Stations of the Cross are available as
a way of meditating on the Stations during the week as
well. Please make attendance a priority.
BRING IN YOUR PALMS
Ash Wednesday is February 26.
Please bring in old blessed palms for proper disposal.
PLEASE KEEP IN YOUR PRAYERS ALL OUR

LITURGY OF THE WORD
February 23, 2020 - Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
Leviticus 19: 1-2, 17-18 Love your neighbor as yourself.
Psalm 103: “The Lord is kind and merciful.”
1 Corinthians 3:16-23 “God catches the wise in their own
ruses.”
Matthew 5: 38-48 Love your enemies.
In the first line of the first reading we hear God tell Moses,
“Be holy, for I, the LORD, your God, am holy.” Then in
the last line of the Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples, “Be
perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.” How’s
that for a challenge? Not only are we told to be holy, we
are told, to be perfect! The truth is that we can be neither
without God’s help. Listening to today’s readings, note
how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit can perfect in us their
earthly dwelling.
