San Damiano Chapel Newsletter, January 2020

CHAPLAIN’S CORNER

Not a lot of people like January. Maybe it’s the post-holiday blues, really cold weather, and the dead of winter. But—

did you know that the Carnival season begins with Epiphany (January 6) and ends on “Fat Tuesday” which is

February 25 this year? Ah. Perhaps a time for creativity!

January signals resolutions for better health and deeper spirituality. For example, in Assisi, there was a Roman

temple dedicated to the deity “Janus” who had 2 faces: one looking back and the other looking forward. In

Franciscan history, the temple of Janus became the site where Francis stripped off his clothes and bade farewell to

his old life – and never looked back. Now, that temple is a church called Saint Mary Major and a shrine

commemorating that Franciscan event. And – behind the church is one of Assisi’s eight gates, the Porta Moana,

through which Clare passed and left her old life and looked forward to what lie beyond: the Portiuncula and a new

life with the friars.

You are invited to continue your own spiritual journey

celebrating the feasts of January: renew the vows and

resolve of your baptism on the feast of the Lord’s (Jan.

12); consider the life the great hermit and monk,

Anthony of Egypt (Jan 17); pray for Christian Unity,

which concludes with the conversion of St Paul (Jan 18-

25), and attend the Mass celebrated by Bishop

Callahan when he visits Viterbo on January 26 (11

a.m.).

Follow the January Saint calendar for more ideas – and

enjoy the beginning of Carnival…it adds a bit of luster

to those dreary days!

May the LORD give you peace!
