PRINCE OF PEACE PARISH// PODCAST: frdan1966.podomatic.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/

Dear Parishioners,

Lent is coming upon us and we are planning

different parish events to assist you in making this

a wonderful Lenten experience. I am thinking that

I would like to call this year’s Lenten program,

“Lent like it used to be!” As I mentioned before we

are trying something new by having daily Mass at

6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. I did this when I was in Falmouth

and it was very popular. It made it very convenient for people to make

a commitment to go to daily Mass because they could go after work.

Moreover, it is a great opportunity for many to go as a family. The

7:00 AM will continue for the early risers or those who do not have to

get children ready in the morning. Unfortunately, due to the number

of priests available to say Mass along with the regular funeral

schedule, we have to remove the daily 12:15 Mass at the Basilica. I

know that it was a great opportunity to go during your lunch hour. I

am hoping that you will still be able to commit to daily Mass after

work.

The reason why I am dubbing this year’s season, “Lent like it

used to be!” is because I remember my own experience of going to

daily Mass with my mother during Lent. Also, we have something

each night of the week that we hope will appeal to the different needs

of our parish. Monday, Scott will go over the basic Catholic hymns

that have been in our faith for hundreds of years and every Catholic

should know as part of basic Catholic culture. Tuesday, Fr. Raj will do

faith sharing. Wednesday, Fr John will do Adoration of the Blessed

Sacrament and praise and worship. Thursday, I decided to do a Bible

study on the Book of Exodus, and Friday, we have the Stations of the

Cross and a simple meal. Each of these events are connected to the

6:00 PM Mass and will be held at Holy Family Church. As you begin

to think of what you want to do for Lent, consider making a

commitment to one or all of these events to make this Lent a “Lent like

it used to be!”

With everyone coming to the front to receive Holy Communion, I

am trying to make accommodations for those who find it too difficult.

The first pews at the Basilica, Holy Family and Holy Cross are for

handicapped people and the break at Holy Family and Holy Cross are

also for those who find it difficult to walk. The Eucharistic Ministers

will bring Communion to you. At the Basilica, we will have someone

distributing Communion to those who find it difficult as well. Please

contact us if you would like to receive these accommodations so that

we can tend to your needs. Peace, Fr. Daniel

HISPANIC MINISTRY

5th Sunday in Ordinary Time

What does it mean to be salt and light? If we listen carefully to Jesus’ words, we gain some direction. To be salt

means to bring taste, zest, and joy to life. We are asked to liven things up a bit by allowing the joy of our faith to

spill over into the lives of others. Only a sincere and deep relationship with God can freshen up humanity and set

it on proper course. To be light means that our faith must translate into action so that we can be Christ for others

and extend the same arm of mercy and compassion that Christ did. Our acts of piety, then, cannot be directed

solely at ourselves. Prayer is never about selfbenefit but must always be directed toward union with God,

deepening our relationships with one another and learning how to be effective stewards of the beautiful universe

God has entrusted to our care.

The Master gives us wise direction in terms of how we can best become the salt and light he desires. Listen

carefully to the Beatitudes. Think about the oppression and alienation that exists in our world, the violence and

prejudice, the anger and the hatred, the fear and the shame. All of these things require action. The poor need

food, housing, and clothes. Hatred must be replaced by love. Retaliation and violence by forgiveness. Our

thoughts and speech can become more like Christ. We can change and continue to change. Blessed John Henry

Cardinal Newman said, “To live is to change and to be perfect is to have changed often.”

But it doesn’t end with just offering the bandages needed to heal wounds. It must go deeper. We must ask

ourselves what has happened that we have found ourselves in this place with these wounds and divisions. What

are their causes? Together we must address these systemic problems, politically and spiritually, and face the

truth. Only then will we truly be salt and light. But then again, we may not like what the light shows us.

St.Scholastica, Virgin(Feb 10)

Scholastica, sister of St. Benedict,

consecrated her life to God when still

very young. She founded a monastery

of nuns about five miles from

Benedict’s monastery. Once a year,

Scholasticaand Benedict would meet at

a house some distance away from their

respective monasteries. During their

last meeting, Scholastica begged her brother to stay

until the next day. When Benedict refused, she knelt

in prayer, and a furious storm burst outside, so that

Benedict could not leave. They spent the night

speaking about spiritual things. Three days later, St.

Scholastica died, and Benedict saw, in a vision, her

soul ascending to heaven.

Sts. Cyril and Methodius, Bishops(Feb 14)

Cyril and Methodius were brothers,

born in Thessalonica in the years 826

and 827. They were sent by the

Patriarch St. Ignatius as missionaries

to the Bulgarians, whom they

converted to Catholicism. Pope

Hadrian II consecrated them Bishops

when they came to Rome to tell him

about their mission. St. Cyril died shortly after, and

Methodius continued alone, preaching successfully

in Moravia, Bohemia, Poland, and neighboring

countries. He translated the Bible into the

SlavicMethodius died around the year 885.

St. Claude de la Colombiere, Priest(Feb 15)

Claude, born in 1641, entered the

Society of Jesus in Lyons, France., and

soon became famous for his abilities as

an orator and educator. He had a great

devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a

devotion which he encouraged St.

Margaret Mary Alacoque to spread,

when he learned of the visions she had received.

Father Claude became a zealous apostle of the

devotion, promoting it when he was sent to

London. He converted the Duke of York, as well as

other Protestants. His preaching earned him the death

sentence, but he was given a commutation, and

returned to France. He died in 1682, and was

canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1992.

Ash Wednesday—Fasting and Abstinence

Latinrite Catholics are required to observe the

discipline of abstinence starting at the age of 14.

There is no upper age limit on abstinence after

which the person is automatically excused, but

those who need to eat meat for a medical reason

may be dispensed from the abstinence requirement.

In the United States, the fasting requirement begins

at age 18 and continues until age 59. At that age, a

person is automatically excused from the

requirement to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good

Friday, but, if health permits, may participate in the

fast should he choose to do so.

WHY DO WE USE ASHES?

The Biblical ResponseOver forty passages in the Bible associate ashes with mourning and grief. In Old

Testament times people used ashes as a sign of repentance. They would sit in ashes, roll around in them, sprinkle

them upon their heads, or even mingle them with their food and drink. They did this as an outward sign of their

inward posture of repentance. Check out Daniel 9:36, for an example. Ash Wednesday begins Lent, a time when

we stop and assess how we’re doing in our walk with God. Lent helps us identify spiritual areas in which we can

grow and sinful areas that we need to avoid. To repent, put simply, means to turn away from sin and turn toward

God. We use ashes as an outward expression of our need to begin again.

A Traditional Response

Ashes are a sign of physical death, as in “ashes to ashes, dust to dust.” We began as dust (a joyless and lifeless

existence), and our bodies will return to dust until we are raised up by Christ. By receiving ashes and keeping

them on, we publicly proclaim our intent to die to our worldly desires and live even more in Christ’s image, which

we focus on during the season of “rebirth” that is Lent (a Latin term for “Spring”).

Daily 6:00 PM

Mass at Holy Family

during Lent

Why are we adding a 6:00 PM

Mass at Holy Family and not

having the 12:15 Mass at the

Basilica like we always has?

I realize that change is hard but I

believe this change will make it more

convenient for people to attend Mass

during Lent. It has been a long

tradition of going to daily Mass for

Lent as a way to increase the call for

prayer and to sacrifice other things

for the are less holy. The 12:15 Mass

is a great time for workers to take

their lunch time and go to Mass.

However, it is impossible to go as a

family at 12:15. If you have any

questions, feel free to contact me (Fr.

Daniel).

Consider going to daily Mass for Lent .

Abstain from Meat on Fridays of Lent

Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence from meat as a way to

join ourselves to the suffering Christ. The spirit of the day is one of

sacrifice in the choices we make not just staying away from meat.

Join us for a simple meal on Fridays of Lent at Our Lady of the

Rosary, Holy Trinity and Holy Family following either the Stations

of the Cross or Mass.

ASPERGES GLORIA

“Where two or three are gathered in

my name, there am I in their

midst.” (Mt 18;20)

The church teaches us that in the

celebration of the Mass, Christ is

truly present in the very assembly

gathered in His name, in the person

of the minister, in his word, and

most especially in the Eucharist. The

form of the Mass is a gift to us from

the church fathers, organized

throughout the year in a way that

hopefully, over time, brings us to a

closer understanding of Christ.

Last week we began exploring the

first part of the introductory rites,

the Introit, or entrance chant.

Towards the end of the entrance

chant, once the priest and the

ministers have reached that

sanctuary, they reverence the altar

with a deep bow, a kiss, and if

appropriate, the priest also incenses

the cross and altar. When the

entrance chant is concluded, the

priest stands at the chair and,

together with the whole gathering,

makes the sing of the cross. Then by

means of the Greeting, he signifies

the presence of the Lord to the

assembled community. By this

greeting and the people’s response,

the mystery of the Church gathered

together is made manifest.

After this, the priest calls upon the

whole community to take part in the

penitential act, except when from

time to time on Sundays, the

blessing and sprinkling of water,

traditionally called the Asperges,

may take place as a reminder of our

Baptism. There are several forms for

the penitential rite which either

conclude, or include in some way,

the Kyrie eleison or Lord have

mercy. Originally in Rome, the mass

was celebrated in Greek and the

Kyrie has been carried over from

these early liturgies.

Although we are asked to call to

mind our sins, the emphasis of this

rite is not on our sinfulness, but

rather God’s mercy and salvation.

The sample tropes all refer to

Christ’s redemptive nature: “You

were sent to heal the contrite,” “You

have shown us the way to the

Father,” or “You come in word and

sacrament to strengthen us in

holiness.”

Outside of Advent and Lent, this

declaration of our awareness of

God’s mercy leads into our great

hymn of thankfulness and praise,

the Gloria in Excelsis or “Glory to

God in the Highest.” The Gloria is an

exuberant hymn, opening with

outbursts of praise and joyful cries

addressed to the Father:“We

worship you, we give you thanks,

we praise you for your glory.”The

hymn then goes on to implore the

mercy of the Son, the Lamb of God

who takes away the sins of the

world.

Addressing Christ, the Church

praises him:“You alone are the

Holy One. You alone are the Lord,

You alone are the Most High.”The

final lines of the Gloria soar into the

blinding mystery of the

Trinity:“Jesus Christ, with the Holy

Spirit, in the glory of God the

Father.”

Next the priest calls upon the people

to pray and pronounces the Collect,

through which the character of the

celebration is summed up and finds

expression. Now, prepared to

receive Christ, we sit and listen to

his Word.
