February 6, 2015
Lent, an opportunity for healing, experiencing God’s forgiveness
Greetings in Christ Jesus. Lent affords us an especially graced opportunity to draw closer
in communication and
relationship with God. How fortunate we are as
Catholics to celebrate the
various liturgical seasons
reflecting the majesty of
God and the history of
our salvation.
The Light is ON for
You, Year 6. Again this
year, the Diocese of Baton
Rouge will celebrate
the Light is ON for You.
This initiative enables us
extra times to receive the
sacrament of reconciliation, often on designated
Wednesday evenings in
Lent from 6:00 – 7:30 at certain parish
churches. Teaching and Example of
Pope Francis
On March 28, 2014, Pope Francis assisted in hearing confessions at St. Peter’s
Basilica. Before taking his station, he
himself went to face-to-face confession
as a penitent to another confessor. Pope
Francis modeled for us all his openness to
receive God’s mercy and forgiveness in this
powerful sacrament of healing and mercy.
Recognizing our
human nature and its
inclinations to sin As humans we are
prone to imperfection
and weakness. St. Paul
himself, a great apostle of
Jesus, wrote: “I do not do
the good I want, but I do
the evil I do not want…
Miserable one that I am.”
(Rom 7:19, 24). Our own personal
history of response to
God’s call to ongoing
conversion of heart
Let us reflect on our
reception of the sacrament of reconciliation:
our first time, our last time, times in-between. Perhaps for some reason we have
never received the sacrament. Possibly
we received it many times as a youth,
but not so often since. Maybe we receive
it regularly. I understand the natural
human inclination not to reveal ourselves,
especially our most serious failures. In so
doing, however, we can have a cathartic
experience of cleansing. Whether it is a

one-time, non-confessed serious fall from
grace – recently or long-standing – or an
admission of a habitual sin, or a series of
venial sins, be courageous enough to trust
God, the priest of your choosing and yourself. You will receive guaranteed divine
forgiveness, and experience self-relief,

LENT 2015
Lenten regulations for the Diocese of Baton Rouge
As per the Pagella Policies of
the Diocese of Baton Rouge, as
in the rest of the church in the
United States, Catholics aged 18
through 59 are bound by a grave
obligation to observe a solemn
fast on both Ash Wednesday and
Good Friday. Catholics aged 14
and up are to abstain from meat
on Ash Wednesday, all Fridays
of Lent and Good Friday as well.
These norms have been established by the U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops in accord with
the norms of canons 1249-1253 in
the revised Code of Canon Law of
1983.
To fast means to consume
only one full meal a day at most,
although taking of other smaller
quantities of food at the other customary mealtimes is permitted.
Food and drink “between meals”
(excepting only water and medi-
cine) is not permitted on fast days.
To abstain from meat means
refraining from eating beef, veal,
pork or poultry at least, although
not necessarily eggs, milk products or meat broths, or condiments made from animal fat. The
consumption of fish, shellfish and
reptiles is permitted if desired.
Beyond the mandatory days
listed above, abstinence from
meat on every Friday throughout
the year which is not a solemnity
and fasting on all Lenten weekdays (especially Wednesdays and
Fridays), and on Holy Saturday, is
strongly recommended to all the
faithful. There always remains,
of course, the grave obligation to
participate at Holy Mass on all
Sundays and days of obligation.
Each in his or her own way,
every Christian is bound to do
penance by virtue of divine law.
Only ill health or some similar situation of urgency excuses. During
the Lenten season, Christ Jesus’
own challenges to prayer, fasting
and almsgiving are paramount.
Clergy (priests and deacons)
who have legitimate residence
and active ministry within the
Diocese of Baton Rouge have
been delegated the power to dispense the faithful of the diocese,
in individual cases and for a just
reason, from the obligation to
observe a particular day of penance, or to commute some or all
of its obligations to other pious
works. Included in this is the faculty to dispense from the Lenten
obligations to fast and abstain
from meat. Yet the obligation
to do some kind of penance remains a serious one, and will not
be taken lightly by a good Catholic.

Ways You Can Help the Needy this Lenten Season!
Join Bishop Robert Muench and Chef John Folse at the
2015 Count Your Blessings Supper
Friday, March 13, 2015 at 7:00 PM - Our Lady of Mercy Parish Activity Center
Bishop Robert Muench and Chef John Folse are ready to Stir it Up! Come and Count Your
Blessings with us. Join us for a simple Lenten supper of soup and bread – a meal that will
nourish you physically and spiritually. Join us at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, March 13th, at Our Lady of Mercy’s Parish Activity Center for this
year’s Count Your Blessings Supper. Give us a call at (225) 383-7837, extension O, to order your tickets today – they are only $10 each.
Tickets will also be available at the door! If you are unable to attend, please consider making a Count Your Blessings Lenten gift to St.
Vincent de Paul to help in our work with God’s poor. Financial gifts can be mailed to: Count Your Blessings, P. O. Box 127, Baton
Rouge, LA 70821-0127, or online at www.svdpbr.org.
Build A Basket For Needy Kids
When families are struggling to exist on minimum-wage incomes, just paying the rent and putting food on the table is
difficult. Needy children learn at an early age that there’s nothing in the budget for extras. Things like Easter
baskets are luxuries their families simply cannot afford. Needy children can be uplifted by this faithful act of
sharing.
Join St. Vincent de Paul and Catholic Community Radio-WPYR 1380 AM in providing Easter baskets for
hundreds of needy children. To find out how you can help this year’s Build a Basket effort, contact us at (225) 383-7837, ext. O.
You Can Answer a Prayer and Save a Life Today!
Join WBRZ-Channel 2, Pat Shingleton, the Baton Rouge Clinic and St.
Vincent de Paul in filling prescriptions for the needy. Retail prices for brand name and generic
prescription drugs have risen greatly in the past year. Our St. Vincent de Paul Community Pharmacy
provides a solution for low-income individuals who cannot keep pace with the rising cost of prescription
medicine. We are seeing more people who are breaking tablets in half and skipping doses of lifesustaining medicines in a desperate attempt to make ends meet. For more details on how you can save
someone’s life by filling a prescription, visit our website at www.svdpbr.org.
