Dear friends, Thank you so much for your participation in the

Archbishop’s Annual Appeal 2019. I am very grateful that we have once again responded to the call to share our gifts with the church. Embracing the concept of stewardship helps us understand that all that we are and all that we have is a gracious gift from God. Once we re-

cognize the benevolence of God we also understand the need we have to give back to God

by giving to the ministry of the Church. Out of that understanding comes our need to support the parish, the archdiocese and the Church at large. Once again, thank you for your generous participation in the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. This week we begin the beautiful season of Lent. In to-day’s bulletin you will find the schedule of liturgies for Ash Wednesday, and the guidelines to celebrate Lent. As in years past we will have the Stations of the Cross every Fri-day in Lent at 7:00 p.m. We will also have the community meals after the Stations of the Cross. Next Saturday there is a Lenten Day of Reflection for all the women of the parish (there will be simultaneous translation into Spanish.) More details are included in this bulletin. God’s blessings

Queridos amigos y amigas, Muchas gracias por su participación en la Campaña Anual del Arzobispo 2019. Estoy muy agradecido de que una vez más hemos respondido al llamado a compartir nuestros dones con la Iglesia. Adoptar el concepto de corresponsabilidad nos ayuda a enten-der que todo lo que somos y todo lo que tenemos es un don gratuito de Dios. Una vez que reconocemos la benevolencia de Dios también entendemos la nece-sidad que tenemos de devolver a Dios al contribuir al ministerio de la Iglesia. A raiz de esa comprensión viene nuestra necesidad de apoyar a la parroquia, a la arquidiócesis y a la Iglesia en general. Una vez más, gracias por su generosa par-ticipación en la Campaña Anual del Arzobispo. Esta semana comenzamos la bonita época de la Cuaresma. En el boletín de hoy se encuentra el calendario de liturgias del Miércoles de Ceniza, así como las directrices para celebrar bien la Cuaresma. Como en años anteriores tendremos las Estaciones del Via Crucis todos los viernes de Cuaresma a las 7:00 p.m. También tendremos las comida comunitarias después del Via Crucis. El próximo sábado tenemos un Día de Reflexión Cua-resmal para todas las mujeres de la parroquia (se ofrecerá traduc-ción simultánea en español.) Más detalles se incluyen en este boletín. Que Dios les bendiga

La Hermosa Epoca de la Cuaresma en Our Lady of La Salette

La Cuaresma es una época de oración, ayuno y caridad; es como un retiro espiritual que nos llama a renovar nuestros corazones y a renovar el compromiso de vivir nuestras promesas bautismales. Con el fin de ver que nuestra prepara-ción para la Pascua tenga un carácter colectivo, y no sólo una dimensión individual, la Iglesia nos da ciertas normas para la celebración común de la Cuaresma. Las directrices para la Cuaresma en la Arquidiócesis de Atlanta son las siguientes:

El Miércoles de Ceniza marca el inicio de la Cuaresma, y es un día de ayuno y abstinencia universal.

A través de la Cuaresma, se observan las siguientes normas sobre ayuno y abstinencia:

La abstinencia de comer carne se observa el Miércoles de Ceniza (6 de marzo,) el Viernes Santo (19 de abril) y todos los viernes de Cuaresma; en esos días todos los católicos de 14 años en adelante se ab-stienen de comer carne.

El ayuno para todos los católicos de 18 a 59 años de edad se observa el Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo. Quienes deben observar esta norma pueden tomar sólo una comida completa al dia. Se permiten dos comidas pequeñas para mantener la fuerza, según las necesidades de cada persona, pero no se per-mite ingerir alimentos sólidos entre las comidas.

Quienes se encuentren enfermos, las mujeres embarazadas o que estén lactando, o aquellas personas cuya salud podría afectarse adversamente por el ayuno o la abstinencia, no deben considerarse limitados por estas normas.

Durante la temporada de la Cuaresma, estamos llamados a acoger la penitencia y a realizar obras de caridad que re-flejen nuestro deseo de una conversión de corazón. También, oremos todos con fervor por los catecúmenos que este año celebrarán los Sacramentos de Pascua con nosotros.

The Beautiful Season of Lent at Our Lady of La Salette

Lent is a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving; it is like a spiritual retreat calling us to a renewal of heart and a re-commitment to our baptismal promises. In order to see that our preparation for Easter has a communal, and not just an individual dimension, the Church gives us certain norms for a common Lenten observance. The Lenten guidelines for the Archdiocese of Atlanta are as follows:

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, and is a day of universal fasting and abstinence.

The following fasting and abstinence regulations are observed throughout Lent:

Abstinence from meat is observed on Ash Wednesday (March 6) Good Friday (April 19) and all the Fridays of Lent by all Catholics 14 years of age and older.

Fasting is observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59 years of age. Those bound by this rule may take only one full meal; two smaller meals are permitted as necessary to maintain strength according to one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted.

Those who are sick, pregnant, or nursing, or whose health would adversely be affected by fasting or abstinence should not consider themselves bound by these norms.

During the season of Lent, we are all called to embrace penances and to perform works of charity that reflect our de-sire for conversion of heart. Also, let us all pray fervently for the Catechumens who will celebrate the Easter Sacra-ments with us this year.
