Mass with elongated homily.
Fasting and Abstinence
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of both abstinence (all Catholics 14 years or older abstain from
eating meat) and fasting (Catholics between 18 and 59 years are obliged to partake of only one full meal).
Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence only.
Ash Wednesday is 46 days before Easter, but Lent is considered 40 days long, because Sundays are not
counted as days of Lent. The reason? Fasting is considered inappropriate on Sunday,
the day commemorating the resurrection of Jesus.
SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE
We joyfully share
in the union of:
Paul Michael Jordan &
Jennifer Alyse Guidry
“What God has joined together, let no man
separate.”

“Song of Songs"
Sr. Diane Depwe
Tuesday, February 18th 6:00pm - 9:00pm
This unique book of the Old Testament is a collection
of love lyrics referring to mutual desire, courtship and
the ideal of human love. It reaffirms our human
sexuality and the sacredness of the covenant of marital
union. Yet the book is also an interpretation of the
ideal Israel covenant relationship with God, using
marriage as an image for God and His Church.
Jesus also refers to Himself as the Bridegroom and the
Church as His Bride. Valentine's Day has just recently
passed, but finding the way to romance, love and
commitment in marriage is readily available in and
through this holy book of the Bible.
Come and experience God's love and be renewed!
Call the Center to register (337) 855-1232 or go to our
website at stcharlescenter.com.
Suggested donation is $20.00 per person.
Please register so that adequate arrangements can be
made for supper.
Do you feel an emptiness in your life?
Are you looking for ways to connect with
God in a more personal way?
Having a spiritual director to meet with
monthly, can be of great help in developing a
committed prayer life
and in living more consciously
in God’s presence.
A spiritual director will walk with you on
your journey and give you the
encouragement and guidance needed to grow
closer to the Lord.
For further information please feel free to
contact Simone Dubois,
a member of St. Michael Parish in Crowley
at 788-5129, to schedule a time or
to get answers to your questions.
STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS
First Reconcile Yourselves
At Mass the temple of God,
which we are, gathers
together to worship our God.
Here to this altar we bring
our gifts, the gift of our
lives, our hearts, our whole beings. But there is one
necessary condition that will make our gifts acceptable mutual charity, mutual reconciliation. It is good - it is
necessary - to remember Jesus’ words in today’s Gospel
about reconciling with others before we worship. Jesus is
telling us that the most noble of all
human activities, the worship of God, the recognition of
God’s lordship over all things, cannot take place without
reconciliation with other members of our communities
and families. As long as there is antagonism in our hearts
toward anyone, our worship is a sham.

“Unfortunately, what is thrown away is
not only food and dispensable objects,
but often human beings themselves,
who are discarded as ‘unnecessary.’
For example, it is frightful even to think there are children,
victims of abortion, who will never see the light of day;
children being used as soldiers,
abused & killed in armed conflicts;
and children being bought and sold
in that terrible form of modern slavery
which is human trafficking,
which is a crime against humanity.”
