Saint Rita: Famous as the patron of hopeless situations, St. Rita of Cascia, a beautiful woman who lived in Italy in the fourteenth century, is immortalized in this wonderful, deeply moving film. Starring Vittoria Belvedere and Martin Crewes, her story combines high drama, great love, deep betrayal, profound forgiveness, and strong faith. This story is about the brave woman who married her knight, helped him overcome his dark past and convert to faith, happily bore him two children, and later endures immense pain as she loses everything in her life. She finds peace and new hope through the generosity of a nearby convent of sisters, and with their help she develops a deep union with Christ that greatly inspires all near her. *****This movie is not rated, but was created with an adult audience in mind. We would recommend Parental Guidance and that parents preview it before watching with children.***** To access “Saint Rita” Log in to Formed.org. Type “Saint Rita” into the search bar and hit enter.

Etiqueta apropiada para la Misa - continuación

Como se mencionó la semana pasada, la Instrucción General del Misal Romano (GIRM) especifica los

empos de silencio antes y durante la Misa. Nuestra cultura está llena de ruido y otras formas de es mulación sensorial. Nuestros espíritus pueden estar tan exhaustos y ni siquiera estamos conscientes de este hecho porque es muy común. Incluso nos sen mos incómodos con el silencio, incluso a través de nuestro espíritu anhelado. Las escrituras en múl ples versículos nos dicen que Dios nos habla especialmente en el silencio. El GIRM nos instruye a tener un momento de silencio antes de que comience la misa. Es un momento para que nos preparemos en oración para la misa; no es un momento para conversar con nuestros vecinos en los bancos. Como dice la escritura "hay un empo para cada propósito bajo el cielo". Antes de la Misa no es el momento de socializar, hay otros momentos y eventos para ese propósito. Orando y tal vez leyendo las lecturas de la Misa antes de la Misa, estamos mejor dispuestos a escuchar al Señor hablarnos, es decir, la Misa se vuelve más espiritualmente fruc fera para nosotros.

Proper Etiquette for Mass - continued

As men oned last week, the General Instruc on of the Roman Missal (GIRM) specify mes of silence before and during the Mass. Our culture is filled with noise and other forms of sensory s mula on. Our spirits can be so exhausted and we’re not even conscious of this fact because it is so common. We even feel uncomfortable with silence even through our spirits long for it. The scriptures in mul ple verses tell us that God especially speaks to us in the silence. The GIRM instructs us to have a me of silence before Mass begins. It is a me for us to prayerfully prepare for Mass – it is not a me for cha ng with our neighbors in the pews. As the scripture says “there is a me for every purpose under heaven”. Before Mass is not the me for socializing – there are other mes and events for that purpose. By praying and perhaps by reading the Mass readings before Mass we are be er disposed to hear the Lord speak to us, - i.e., the Mass becomes more spiritually frui ul for us.

Religious Educa on

This Wednesday, February 26, there will be no Religious Educa on classes in the evening so that all families can a end an Ash Wednesday service together. (See the schedule elsewhere in the bulle n.) Wednesday classes resume Wednesday, March 4.

Next Sunday, March 1, at 4:00 PM, the Cathedral will be the loca on of the annual Rite of Elec on, one of the rituals of the Rite of Chris an Ini a on of Adults. All Sunday evening Religious Educa on classes will meet as usual at 4:00 PM, so parents and young adult drivers, be mindful of addi on car and foot traffic and a crowded parking lot. The Rite of Elec on is a wonderful celebra on of “elec on” for those preparing for the Sacraments of Ini a on from the en re west side of the diocese. If anyone would like to help welcome those a ending the Rite, please contact Joanna Haston in the parish office or at 524-8563.

Note: Sunday morning Religious Educa on classes, you will also meet as usual at 12:20 PM.

A United in Ministry Event

Lenten Fast and Abstinence Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 26, 2020. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards. If possible the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (Holy Saturday night) as the “paschal fast” to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus, and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily his Resurrection.
