Ash Wednesday (Wednesday, February 17, 2021)

The reception of blessed ashes by the Catholic faithful as

the hallmark of the beginning of the season of Lent

remains very important for our people. However, in the

time of the pandemic, the imposition of ashes in the usu-

al manner is not possible. It is also prudent to remind the

faithful that Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of

Obligation, and that one is not obliged to attend Mass,

nor is one obliged to receive ashes.

On January 12, 2021, Robert Cardinal Sarah, the Prefect

of the Congregation of Divine Worship and Discipline of

the Sacraments, issued a note entitled “Distribution of

Ashes in Time of Pandemic”. In that document, Cardinal

Sarah gives the following instruction to the clergy:

The Priest says the prayer for blessing the

ashes. He sprinkles the ashes with holy

water, without saying anything. Then he

addresses all those present and only once

says the formula as it appears in the Roman

Missal, applying it to all in general: “Repent,

and believe in the Gospel”, or “Remember

that you are dust, and to dust you shall

return”.

The Priest then cleanses his hands, puts on

a face mask and distributes the ashes to

those who come to him or, if appropriate, he

goes to those who are standing in their plac-

es. The Priest takes the ashes and sprinkles

them on the head of each one without saying

anything.

Because of the instruction from Cardinal Sarah and due

to the current state of the pandemic, this year the

Diocese of Rockville Centre will administer ashes to the

faithful by sprinkling the blessed ashes on the top of the

head of the recipient. This is the traditional practice of

the Roman Rite, and is currently observed in Rome,

throughout Europe, and in various other parts of the

world. This method, rooted in the scriptural tradition, will

allow for ashes to be given easily without making

physical contact.

While imposition of ashes with the sign of the cross on

the forehead has been customary in the United States of

America on Ash Wednesday, in many other parts of the

world, the Roman Rite’s tradition of sprinkling of dry

ashes on top of the head is, in fact, the more common

practice. The faithful may be interested to know this is

how the Holy Father, Pope Francis, always receives his

ashes on Ash Wednesday!

Sprinkling ashes on the crown of the head recalls the

biblical method of putting on sackcloth and ashes as a

sign of penance. A number of accounts in the Bible

mention people sprinkling or pouring ashes over

their head (for example, Numbers 19:17, Jonah 3:6,

Nehemiah 9:1, Judith 4:11, & Esther 4:1). This gesture,

while not as dramatic, recalls that penitential practice.

The ashes not being visible will also more clearly help

those who receive them to put into practice the teaching

of the Gospel appointed for the day to carry out one’s

penance in private. Additionally, it is helpful to recall that

in Baptism, we have been anointed on the crown of the

head. The ashes to be imposed on the crown signify our

repentance from sin, which has marred the grace of

Baptism.

In the Diocese of Rockville Centre this year, it is not

permitted to impose ashes on the forehead of a member

of the faithful with the thumb of the hand, even if that

hand is gloved. Hands and gloves would be considered

“contaminated” after each imposition of ashes if

physical contact were made.

Miércoles de Ceniza (miércoles 17 de febrero de 2021)

La recepción de las cenizas bendecidas por los fieles

católicos como seña de identidad del inicio del tiempo

de Cuaresma sigue siendo muy importante para nuestro

pueblo. Sin embargo, en el momento de la pandemia,

la imposición de cenizas de la forma habitual no es

posible. También es prudente recordar a los fieles que

el Miércoles de Ceniza no es un Día Santo de Obligación,

y que uno no está obligado a asistir a Misa, ni está

obligado a recibir cenizas.

El 12 de enero de 2021, el cardenal Robert Sarah,

prefecto de la Congregación del Culto Divino y

la Disciplina de los Sacramentos, emitió una nota

titulada “Distribución de cenizas en tiempos de

pandemia”. En ese documento, el cardenal Sarah da

las siguientes instrucciones al clero:

El sacerdote dice la oración para bendecir

las cenizas. Rocía las cenizas con agua

bendita, sin decir nada. Luego se dirige

a todos los presentes y sólo una vez dice

la fórmula tal como aparece en el Misal

Romano, aplicándola a todos en general:

“Arrepentíos y creed en el Evangelio”, o

“Recuerda que eres polvo, y al polvo serás

regreso".

A continuación, el sacerdote se limpia

las manos, se pone una mascarilla y distribuye

las cenizas a los que se acercan a él o, en

su caso, se dirige a los que están en su lugar.

El sacerdote toma las cenizas y las esparce

sobre la cabeza de cada uno sin decir nada.

Debido a las instrucciones del Cardenal Sarah y debido

al estado actual de la pandemia, este año la Diócesis

de Rockville Center administrará cenizas a los fieles

rociando las cenizas benditas en la parte superior de

la cabeza del destinatario. Esta es la práctica tradicional

del Rito Romano y actualmente se observa en Roma,

en toda Europa y en varias otras partes del mundo.

Este método, arraigado en la tradición bíblica, permitirá

que las cenizas se entreguen fácilmente sin hacer

contacto físico.

Si bien la imposición de cenizas con la señal de la cruz

en la frente ha sido una costumbre en los Estados

Unidos de América el miércoles de ceniza, en muchas

otras partes del mundo, la tradición del rito romano de

esparcir cenizas secas sobre la cabeza es: de hecho,

la práctica más común. A los fieles les puede interesar

saber que es ¡Cómo el Santo Padre Francisco recibe

siempre sus cenizas el Miércoles de Ceniza!

Rociar cenizas sobre la coronilla recuerda el método

bíblico de ponerse cilicio y cenizas como señal de

penitencia. Varios relatos de la Biblia mencionan a

personas que rocían o arrojan cenizas sobre su cabeza

(por ejemplo, Números 19:17, Jonás 3: 6, Nehemías 9:

1, Judit 4:11 y Ester 4: 1). Este gesto, aunque no tan

dramático, recuerda esa práctica penitencial. El hecho

de que las cenizas no sean visibles también ayudará más

claramente a quienes las reciben a poner en práctica

la enseñanza del Evangelio señalada para el día de

realizar la penitencia en privado. Además, es útil

recordar que en el bautismo, fuimos ungidos en la coro-

na de la cabeza. Las cenizas que se impondrán sobre

la corona significan nuestro arrepentimiento del pecado,

que ha empañado la gracia del Bautismo.

En la Diócesis de Rockville Center este año, no está

permitido imponer cenizas en la frente de un miembro

de los fieles con el pulgar de la mano, incluso si esa

mano está enguantada. Las manos y los guantes se

considerarían “contaminados” después de cada

imposición de cenizas si se hiciera contacto físico.

On Feb. 10, the Catholic Church remembers St. Scholastica,

a nun who was the twin sister of St. Benedict, the "father of

monasticism" in Western Europe. St. Benedict's biographer

recounted a story which is frequently told about the last such

visit between the siblings. They passed the time as usual in

prayer and pious conversation -- after which Scholastica

begged her brother to remain for the night, but he refused.

She then joined her hands together, laid them on the table

and bowed her head upon them in supplication to God.

When she lifted her head from the table, immediately there

arose such a storm that neither Benedict nor his fellow

monks could leave. Seeing that he could not return to his

abbey because of such thunder and lightning and great

abundance of rain, the man of God became sad and began

to complain to his sister, saying, “God forgive you, what have

you done?” "I wanted you to stay, and you wouldn't listen,”

she answered. “I have asked our good Lord, and He gra-

ciously granted my request, so if you can still depart, in

God's name return to your monastery, and leave me here

alone." St. Benedict had no choice but to stay and speak to

his sister all night long about spiritual matters -- including

the kingdom of heaven, for which she would soon depart.

Three days later, in a vision Benedict saw the soul of his

sister, departed from her body and in the likeness of a dove,

ascend into heaven. He rejoiced with hymns and praise,

giving thanks to God. St. Benedict followed her soon after,

and was buried in the same grave with his sister.

PENITENTIAL ACT I confess to almighty God And to you, my brothers and sisters, That I have greatly sinned, In my thoughts and in my words, In what I have done and In what I have failed to do, (Pray while striking the breast three times)

through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; Therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, All the Angels and Saints, And you, my brothers and sisters, To pray for me to the Lord our God. GLORIA Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

NICENE CREED I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,

(At the words that follow, up to and including

and became man, bow your head) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
