Pray for an end to abortion

Peacefully pray the Rosary every Monday and Thursday at 10:00am at the Planned Parenthood Clinic, 1964 Via Centre in Vista. Questions? Call Richard (760) 822-3228.

A Word from the Pastor What is your plan for Lent? If Lent is going to be a time of renewal and growth, you need a plan. Are you just going to let Lent happen? Go through the motions? Lent is just a few days away. What changes do you want to make? Any good plan begins with an assessment of where we are, our present condition. I invite you to spend some time reflecting on your current condition as a Christian. How is your spiritual life? Are you still growing in faith or have you become stagnant? Do you show appropriate care and concern for those in need? After assessing our present condition, we can identify areas for needed growth. Perhaps you feel the need to strengthen your relationship with the Lord. Maybe you recognize that you could be more generous to others (with your time, your money, your talents, etc.) Or this Lent may be a time to grow in knowledge of your faith through reading or study. The next step in your plan is to choose which means will help you meet your goals. There are so many things to choose from: additional time for personal prayer, spiritual reading, joining a Bible study or taking an online course, making time to participate in outreach to those in need, fasting from something in order to be able to share more, and many more options. My point is: choose the means that will help you reach your goals. Don’t just “do something for Lent.” Do something for you. When the end of Lent arrives, the way you will know if Lent has been a success for you will be to answer this question: How did I grow during Lent? Am I a more loving person, a more enthusiastic Christian? Can I identify the changes that I was able to make? Have a happy and holy Lent! In one Heart,

Our traditional celebration of Ash

Wednesday will look and feel just a little different than usual. All of the essential elements of our piety and devotion will enable us to begin the season of Lent with devotion and fervor. There will be two Masses: 7:00 am and 8:00 am. These will be in English. There will be four very brief prayer services at: 10:00 am, 12:00 noon, 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm. These services will be bilingual. All of these will be held in the church. Face coverings are required for all who participate. Social distancing must be maintained. Collection baskets will be available at the entrance into which you can place your Ash Wednesday offering. There will be a few differences this year. Ashes will be distributed at the end of the Mass or prayer service (not after the gospel). The priest will say the words over all the people just once: “Turn away from sin and be faithful to the gospel.” He and the ministers will go to each person and put the ashes on the forehead using a cotton swab (a different cotton swab for each person to avoid possible cross contamination). They will begin with the last row. After receiving your ashes, you may leave immediately. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we make accommodations to ensure a safe as well as prayerful environment for Ash Wednesday.

General Absolu on

General Absolu on is offered at all Masses the second weekend of each month.

Religious Education & Family Ministry Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time Reflection: A leper came to him begging him, and kneeling he said to him, ‘If you choose, you can make me clean.’ Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, ‘I do choose. Be made clean!’. Jesus then firmly instructs the leper not to tell anyone of the healing but to

follow what the law prescribes. Yet the leper immediately tells everyone, thus ignoring Jesus’ words. Jesus gives his love freely knowing that at times we will follow his word and at times we will disobey him. Why do you come to Jesus? Prayer intention: Jesus, help us to seek the grace that you offer us. Please contact the Office for Religious Education & Family Ministry with questions about sacramental preparation and ongoing faith formation at MDornisch@stpatrickcarlsbad.com or 760-729-8442.

Lenten Food Drive The Knights of Columbus will be hosting a Lenten food drive to benefit the North County Branch of the San Diego Food Bank. Giving to those in need is a powerful way to do your part to participate with our church community during Lent. The drive will run the first four weekends of Lent (Feb. 20-21, Feb. 27-28, Mar. 6-7, Mar. 13-14) . Donations will be accepted before/after all weekend Masses (Saturday and Sunday). The donation station will be set up at the back door of the hall. Drive up and the Knights will unload the food from your trunk. Our goal for this drive to 3000 pounds of food. That will serve a couple thousand meals.

PARISH OFFICE CLOSED

All parish offices will be closed on Monday, February 15, President’s Day.

Please note: Only one 9:00am Mass on February 15.

Changes in Loca ons for Some Masses Pursuant to the new guidelines for indoor worship in the state of California, we are able to make a couple changes to our weekend liturgical schedule. The criteria for these changes reflect two important principles that we have followed since the beginning of the pandemic: no one will be turned away and we will not limit a endance by requiring reserva ons. Based on our Mass a endance records, we can safely move the following weekend Masses inside the church: ♦ Saturday at 5:00 pm (Spanish) ♦ Sunday at 7:30 am

The remainder of the weekend Masses will con nue to be celebrated on the covered court of the school. We will con nue to monitor a endance at all Masses to determine if any addi onal changes are warranted. In case of rain, we will be able to open the church for certain Masses but only the first 175 people will be able to a end. All weekday Masses (Monday through Friday, 7:00 and 8:00 am; and Saturday at 8:00 am) will be held in the church. Once again, we will use an alternate sea ng plan so that those a ending the 7:00 am Mass will sit on the right side of the church, while those a ending the 8:00 am Mass will sit on the le side. Because of the need to clean the church and record our online Masses, the church will remain closed for the rest of the day. Weddings, funerals and bap sms will be celebrated in the church with a maximum a endance of 175 persons.

Las acciones de Jesús nos enseñan amor y compasión (Marcos 1, 40-45)

En el Evangelio del Domingo, Jesús se acerca a un leproso, una persona cuya enfermedad contagiosa de la piel lo convierte en un marginado. Jesús toca a esta persona a la que la mayoría de la gente ni siquiera soñaría en tocar.

Jesús es el maestro. En todo lo que hace aprendemos algo: cómo tartar a la gente necesitada, cómo aceptar las cosas que son difíciles o dolorosas y cómo amar. (CIC 561). Este Domingo en la Misa, reza por las personas por las que no sueles rezar: gente que no te agrada mucho, gente a la que no le agradas, compañeros de clase que son muy diferentes a ti, vecinos que no conoces muy bien o cualquiera que la mayoría de la gente ni siquiera voltea a ver.

♦ ¿Cómo pueden cambiar mis sentimientos hacia alguien cuando oro por ella?

♦ ¿Ha habido algún momento de tu vida en el que te has sentido como el leproso?

♦ ¿Cuando has tenido la oportunidad de ser como Jesús? Pflaum: Venture (Febrero 7, 2021)

St. Patrick Church 14 de febrero del 2021 Page Four

Nuestra celebración tradicional del

Miércoles de Ceniza se verá y se sentirá un poco diferente de lo habitual. Todos los elementos esenciales de nuestra piedad y devoción nos permitirán comenzar la temporada de Cuaresma con devoción y fervor. • Habrá dos misas en inglés: 7:00 am y 8:00 am.

Estas Misas se llevarán a cabo en la iglesia. • Habrá cuatro servicios de oración muy breves en:

10:00 am, 12:00 del mediodía, 4:00 pm y 6:00 pm. Estos servicios serán bilingües. Todos estos se llevarán a cabo en la iglesia.

Todos los participantes deben cubrirse la cara. Debe mantenerse el distanciamiento social. Las canastas de recolección estarán disponibles en la entrada en las que puede colocar su ofrenda del Miércoles de Ceniza. Habrá algunas diferencias este año. Las cenizas se distribuirán al final de la misa o servicio de oración (no después del evangelio). El sacerdote dirá las palabras sobre todo el pueblo una sola vez: "Apártate del pecado y sé fiel al evangelio". Él y los ministros acudirán a cada persona y pondrán las cenizas en la frente con un hisopo de algodón (un hisopo de algodón diferente para cada persona para evitar una posible contaminación cruzada). Comenzarán con la última fila. Después de recibir sus cenizas, puede irse de inmediato. Gracias por su comprensión y cooperación mientras hacemos arreglos para garantizar un ambiente seguro y de oración para el Miércoles de Ceniza.

Cambios en la ubicación de algunas masas De acuerdo con las nuevas reglas para reanudar los servicios religiosos en interiores en el estado de California, podemos hacer un par de cambios en nuestro horario litúrgico de fin de semana. Los criterios para estos cambios reflejan dos principios importantes que hemos seguido desde el comienzo de la pandemia: nadie será rechazado y no limitaremos la asistencia exigiendo reservaciones.

Según nuestros registros de asistencia a Misa, podemos mover con seguridad las siguientes Misas de fin de semana dentro de la iglesia: ♦ Sábado a las 5:00 pm (español) ♦ Domingo a las 7:30 am

El resto de las Misas de fin de semana se seguirán celebrando en la cancha cubierta de la escuela. Continuaremos monitoreando la asistencia a todas las Misas para determinar si se justifican cambios adicionales. En caso de lluvia, podremos abrir la iglesia para ciertas Misas, pero solo podrán asistir las primeras 175 personas.

Todas las Misas entre semana (de lunes a viernes, a las 7:00 y 8:00am y sábados a las 8:00am) se llevarán a cabo en la iglesia. Una vez más, usaremos un plan de asientos alternativo para que los que asistan a la Misa de las 7:00am se sienten en el lado derecho de la iglesia, mientras que los que asistan a la Misa de las 8:00am se sentarán en el lado izquierdo. Para poder limpiar/desinfectar la iglesia y para poder grabar nuestras misas en línea, la iglesia permanecerá cerrada por el resto del día.

Las bodas, funerales y bautizos se celebrarán en la iglesia con una asistencia máxima de 175 personas.

Black History Month Continuing to spotlight African-American Catholics who have given outstanding witness to the faith throughout history, this week we consider Venerable Henriette Delille (1813-1862).

Henriette Delille was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, where she would live her entire life. For the love of Jesus and responding to the Gospel’s mandate, she was determined to help those in need. Henriette was also a person who suffered as she made her way through life, and she bore many crosses. She taught

those around her that sanctity can be attained in following the path of Jesus. It was in this manner that she dealt with her troubles and major obstacles to achieve her goals. Some of the troubles Henriette met were the resistance of the ruling population to the idea of a black religious congregation; the lack of finances to do the work; the taunts and disbelief of people in her mission; the lack of support from both the Church and civil authority; and poor health.

However, Henriette practiced heroic virtue. She had faith, lived in hope, and practiced love. She was compassionate, forgiving, and merciful. She believed in justice and was not afraid to do what was right in the eyes of God. God blessed her efforts and, in 1842, she founded the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Family. Henriette died 20 years later on November 17, 1862. Her funeral was held at St. Augustine Church. Her obituary stated, “. . . Miss Henriette Delille had for long years consecrated herself totally to God without reservation to the instruction of the ignorant and principally to the slave."

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year B

First Reading (Leviticus 13:1-2,44-46) The Law regarding leprosy is given to Moses and Aaron.

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 32:1-2,5,11) A prayer of contrition and confession for sin. Second Reading (1 Corinthians 10:31—11:1)

Paul urges the Corinthians to imitate him as he imitates Christ. Gospel Reading (Mark 1:40-45)

Jesus cures a person with leprosy, who reports his cure to everyone. In today’s Gospel, we continue to hear Mark report the miraculous healings that Jesus performed in Galilee. The Gospel begins with Jesus healing a man with leprosy. Leprosy is a disfiguring, infectious skin disease that has been surrounded by many social and religious taboos throughout history. In 1873, the cause of leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, was identified. We now know that leprosy is caused by a bacterial infection. Although it is infectious, modern medical studies have shown that transmission is more difficult than previously thought. Since the 1940s, medical treatments have been available, and the patient no longer needs to be isolated once long-term treatment has begun. In Jesus’ time, however, religious and social taboos dictated the behavior of those with leprosy and other skin diseases. The Law of Moses provided for the examination of skin diseases by the priests, and if leprosy was identified, the person was declared unclean. People with leprosy lived in isolation from the community. They were instructed to rip their clothes and to announce their presence with loud cries when moving in the community. If the sores of leprosy healed, the Law of Moses provided a purification rite that permitted the person to return to the community. In today's Gospel, the man with leprosy took the initiative, approaching Jesus and asking for healing. In doing so, the leper violated the religious customs of the day by approaching a person who was clean. His request to Jesus can be interpreted as a courageous and daring act. The confidence of the leper in Jesus' ability to heal him is evident in the words of his request. But his words can also be read as a challenge to Jesus, asking just how far Jesus was willing to extend himself in order to heal someone. While healing the man, Jesus touched him, which also violated established social norms. This is an important sign of the depth of Jesus' compassion for the man and an important statement about Jesus' interpretation of the Law of Moses. Although Jesus touched the leper, he did not break completely with the Law of Moses. He instructed the man not to tell anyone about the cure and told him to present himself to the priests as prescribed by the Law of Moses. The first instruction sounds nearly impossible to honor. Certainly, the man would want to share the good news of his healing, and his quick improvement would require an explanation. The second instruction honors the Law of Moses. Mark's Gospel tells us that after this healing, it became difficult for Jesus to travel freely. There are several possible explanations for this. There might have been concern about the repercussions of Jesus' breach of social and religious norms. In touching the man with leprosy, Jesus made himself unclean. Mark's narrative, however, leads to the conclusion that Jesus' movement was hampered by his popularity. Despite his instructions, the cured man spread the word about Jesus' healing power. Even when Jesus was in deserted places, people sought him out in search of his healing.
