First Sunday of Lent Page 3
REGULATIONS ON FASTING AND ABSTINENCE DURING LENT
The dual disciplines of fasting and abstinence have a long history in the Catholic Church. Going back to the early Church, the purpose behind the custom of self-denial is not punishment; it is to simplify our lifestyles so that we create a certain emptiness. In this way, freed from all distractions, we are able to hear and respond to God’s continued call to conversion and holiness.
FASTING is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 years. On days of fasting, one full meal is allowed. Two smaller meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be takes according to one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids are allowed.
ABSTINENCE from meat is to be observed by all Catholics who are 14 years of age and older on Ash Wednesday and all of the Fridays of Lent.
Note: If a person is unable to observe the above regulations due to ill health or other serious reasons, they are urged to practice other forms of self-denial that are suitable to their condition.
Fasting, almsgiving and prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and catechumens should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and of preparation for baptism or of renewal of baptism at Easter.
LISTENING SESSION WITH BISHOP GREGORY PARKES
Espiritu Santo, Safety Harbor, Mon. 3/6, at 7 PM As he settles into his new position as fifth Bishop of St. Petersburg, Bishop Gregory Parkes would like to hear the input and opinions of the faithful. He will be holding listening sessions across the Diocese over the next several months to hear the answers to the following three questions: • What are we doing well as a diocese? • What things could we improve upon as a diocese? • What things in ministry should we be focusing on as
a local Church? If you are unable to attend this listening session, Bishop Parkes would still like your feedback. Please answer the questions via an anonymous online survey found on the diocesan website (www.dosp.org) All responses will be read and considered.
Thanks to all who enjoyed the debut of our St. Michael Rock ‘n Piano Lounge. Amidst all
the fun, we raised $400 to help upgrade the Church’s sound equipment!
St. Patrick Dinner/Dance Party Thursday, March 9th D Hall Doors open 6:30 –Dinner at 7:00 p.m.

All proceeds benefit our sister parish— Sangre de Cristo in Nicaragua
In our First Reading for today’s liturgy, we hear of one garden, two newly-minted beings and two trees surrounded by various varieties of flora and fauna. Ah yes, I forgot about the serpent. How did it slither in without my notice?
All good stories and plays have an inciting incident in order to accelerate the action. What would you say is the real beginning of the energy or excitement of this story? It could be the announce-ment that everything was good and available, everything that is, except touching or eating of one of the trees. Maybe, but for the sake of my imagination, let us say that it is Mrs. Adam’s desire for wisdom. God has forbidden them to eat of “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. Eve is tempted by the serpent to eat of the forbidden tree.
Why would she want to have that kind of knowledge? She and her mate wanted the “quick and easy”. God did not say exactly what would result from eating of the other tree, the “tree of Life”. Perhaps eating of that tree would invite a taste for more life, but that would take a life of time and tasting. Eating of the “knowledge tree” would result in self-fascination and a “leaf-covering” shame of negativity. Eating from this tree faced them both with the struggle about what is good and what is bad about them. ~~Larry Gillick, S.J.

NEW GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP for anyone who has lost a loved one in the last two years
starts this week
A six week session moderated by Sr. Thérèse Carolan began meeting on Thurs., March 2nd, at 1:30 PM
in Room #13. While there is no right or wrong way of dealing with the loss of a loved one, sharing with
others who have experienced similar loss has proven effective in managing grief. It is not too late to join.
We Miss You! “Catholics Come Home”
is a warm and welcoming invitation to any “ away” Catholic
Do you have any friends, family or neighbors who are looking for peace, hope, reassurance, friendship or release from guilt? Allow Jesus to speak
through you by inviting them to join fellow Christians on our journey and reap the benefits of community. Printed flyers describing our "Catholics Come Home" five-week series are available at all church entrances. The sessions begin Wednesday, March 8, and continue March 15, 22,
29 and April 5. Call the Parish Office for more information and/or to register at 797–2375.
DON’T BE LATE FOR MASS NEXT SUNDAY!

hour before going to bed on Saturday night, 3/11.

Lenten Mission with Fr. Richard Leonard, S.J. Our Lady of Lourdes, Dunedin Join us Mon., March 13th thru Wed., March 15th at 9:45am (Mass at 9am) or 7pm for our Parish Mission, “Living the Gospel of Joy.” Pope Francis calls all the Church to live our
faith, hope and love with joy. This is not a supercili-ous joy that pretends that we don’t have a care in the world. It is the assurance of a faith that calls us to go out to the world confidently because we know where we have come from, why we are here, and where we are going. Fr. Leonard is the author of the international best-selling book, “Where the Hell is God?”
