February 18th, 2018 - First Sunday of Lent

From Fr. Suresh

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading: Genesis 9:8-15

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 25:4-5, 6-7, 8-9

Second Reading: 1 Peter 3:18-22

Gospel: Mark 1:12-15

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION “One does not live on bread alone, but on every word

that comes forth from the mouth of God.” - Matthew 4:4b

FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT... THE DESERT AND OUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY Why do we always go to the desert? We see this example in Scripture time and time again. The Israelites wandered in

the desert. King David and prophets were driven into the wilderness. And now Jesus is in the same place. Lent after

Lent, we too are invited into a barren, desolate place. Why do we always go to the desert?

Throughout Scripture, the desert is a place of testing. It's also a place of hiding and withdrawal. In the Old Testament,

David fled into the wilderness to hide from Saul, Elijah from Jezebel, and Jonah from God! In other words, the desert is

a place of "retreat." In Christian circles, we use the word to describe a spiritual weekend away. But its meaning comes

from warfare, as we well know. To retreat means to draw back, to separate oneself from the fighting. Of course, a

military retreat brings its own kind of "battle" — the internal assessment of why the fighting went so poorly.

As we enter into this Lenten season, we are invited to retreat into the desert with Jesus. Attending a day or weekend of

reflection is a wonderful spiritual practice. This "desert spirituality," however, can fill all forty days. We can fulfill our

Lenten resolutions with a purpose — writing daily notes to family and friends can inspire new gratitude, every time we

pass up that specific food item can be cause for intercession for deeper sufferings and privations of others.

The Gospel tells us that "the Spirit drove him out into the desert." In other words, God wants us to be here. What feels

uncomfortable is actually part of our spiritual journey. To be stretched, to be challenged, to confront our own areas of

weakness — these things are essential in our walk with God. This Lent, will you go to the desert?

LENT— GUIDELINES FOR FASTING AND ABSTINENCE

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fasting and abstinence. We are also obliged to observe abstinence

(but not fasting) on all Fridays during Lent. According to Canon Law, the law of fasting binds all Catholics from the

completion of their 18th birthday to the day after their 59th birthday.

The law of fasting allows only one full meal a day, but does not prohibit taking some food in the morning and

evening, or the full meal may be taken in the evening instead of midday. The quantity of food taken at the two

lighter meals should not exceed the quantity at the full meal. The drinking of ordinary liquids does not break the fast.

The law of abstinence binds persons from the completion of their 14th year, so the law of abstinence applies to

Catholics from the day after their 14th birthday and onward throughout life.

The law of abstinence forbids the consumption of meat, but not of eggs, milk products or condiments made of ani-

mal fat. Abstinence does NOT include meat juices and liquid foods made from meat. Thus, such foods as chicken

broth, consommé, soups cooked or flavored with meat, meat gravies or sauces, as well as seasonings or condiments

made from animal fat are NOT forbidden. So it is permissible to use margarine and lard. Even bacon drippings

which contain little bits of meat may be poured over lettuce as seasoning.

For further information see sections 1250-1253 of Canon Law.

CRS RICE BOWLS DURING LENT - ‘SHARE THE JOURNEY’

The theme for 2018 is ‘Share the Journey’.

PRAY… using the daily reflections on the calendar.

FAST… with the weekly meatless meals and learn about people around the world.

GIVE … your Lenten sacrifices by using your Rice Bowl box.

To learn more about Rice Bowl, visit http://www.crsricebowl.org.

This week we encounter Majd from Iraq. Eight-year-old Majd thought his family was going on a picnic. His mother, Lamya,

said they would be back home in a week. But when ISIS attacked their home in northern Iraq, the family fled for good.

ST. IGNATIUS/DOROTHY RICE SCHOLARSHIP FUND —

NOW IN OUR 21ST YEAR ASSISTING FAMILIES WITH SCHOOL TUITION!

The St. Ignatius/Dorothy Rice Memorial Scholarship Fund assists families who are not able to afford the full tuition at

St. Ignatius School (which averages about $9500 per year). Each year we help to keep children in our school who other-

wise couldn’t afford a Catholic Education. Over the past 20 years we have assisted 175 children from 120 families!

The average child in this programme receives about $200-$300 per month off the fees, paid by the scholarship fund

(directly to the school bursar), while the child’s family pays the rest.

In return for the help, the families actively contribute to the school and parish in a variety of ways (helping out with

fundraisers, chaperoning school trips, cleaning the grounds, assisting at sports days, serving on committees, etc.).

How you can help:

Donation envelopes are available at the front entrance of St. Ignatius Church or in the church office. Donations can

be dropped in the collection, sent in by mail or dropped off at the church office. If paying by cheque, please make

your donations payable to: ST. IGNATIUS, and in the memo, please indicate “Scholarship Fund”.

On-line transfers can be done through Butterfield Bank… contact May in the parish office for details.

Perhaps your company would like to assist with regular contributions OR a one-off donation?

Please consider the Scholarship Fund from time to time when doing your charitable work throughout the year!

Many thanks to all those who have contributed to the fund during recent months and during the past several years!

For further information, please contact Jeremy Rice in the Parish Office or via e-mail: [email protected].
