Lent - Why do we receive ashes?
The imposition of ashes is an ancient symbol of repentance and mourning (see Isaiah
58:5; Esther 4:1; Daniel 9:3; 2Samuel 13:19), and reminds us that our life on earth is fleeting and that
our ultimate life is in heaven. Lent begins with Ash Wednesday and is a time of prayer, penance and fasting. Forty
days that the Church sets before us for conversion of heart. The words used for the imposition
of ashes, are: "Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return" or “Repent and believe in the Gospel." Both of
these are powerful statements of faith and are reminders of what our priorities in this life should be.
Receiving ashes is not a magical rite, and does not take away our sins; for that we have the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. Rather, it is a sign of repentance, penance, and, above all, conversion. It is the beginning of
the Lenten journey, to follow Jesus from the desert to the day of his triumph on Easter Sunday.
Lenten Guidelines for Fasting and Abstinence
• Ash Wednesday: This day is observed by abstinence from meat and fasting (see guidelines below).
• Fridays in Lent: These days are marked by abstinence from meat.
• Good Friday: This is also a day of abstinence from meat and fasting.
Fasting and Abstinence
Those who are 18 to 59 years old are bound by the obligation to fast and may take only one full meal. Two
smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength according to one's needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted.
Abstinence from meat is for those 14 to 59 years old. Traditional abstinence is the practice of refraining
from meat and meat products. Entering fully into the spirit of the Lenten fast, we are also encouraged to abstain
from other foods, practices or activities. The Lenten fast is one of penance. Our self-denial is a way of emphasizing
our dependence on God.
Those under the age of 14 or over 59
Fasting and abstinence are not always possible for the younger members of the community. However, they should be encouraged to observe the spirit of the Lenten fast
by assuming a penance appropriate to their age.
Those who have celebrated their 59th birthday are welcome to share with the community in the practice of fasting. However, they should take appropriate care regarding
their personal health conditions.
Why We Fast and Abstain
When we fast and abstain, we do it together. The practice of the Lenten fast is a practice of the whole community. Though the fast is carried out personally, we are united
http://jesuitinstitute.org/Pictures/Lent.gif
in our action through Jesus Christ. Our united fast and abstinence are our prayers to
the Father through Jesus. Our actions speak louder than our words. Both personally and as a community we deliberately place ourselves in need (hunger being the most basic need) so that we can discover that for which we hunger
spiritually in our lives and in our world. We do this to give concrete expression to our trust in God to give us the
spiritual sustenance we require. Our joint action is intended to strengthen our deep belief that the God who raised
Jesus from the dead also fills our every need.
Bible Sale
Are you in need of a new Bible or would you like to buy one for someone as a gift for First Communion or
for Lent? Then come and see the Bibles we will have for sale next weekend Reading God’s word is a must for us as
Catholics!

2014 Retreat Master:
Brother Daniel Thomas, O.P.
A native of Oakland, California Br.
Daniel Thomas has been a Dominican for
more than 50 years and, as a “career
brother” has a long list of works and ministries that he has been involved in.
He was originally trained as a printer until
the technology began changing with the
advent of photo and computer typesetting.
From there he moved into Campus and Parish Ministry His
love of the Liturgy and his talents for public speaking, art
and music saw him involved in giving workshops for parishes and other groups both locally and internationally. One
of those invitations came from Africa where he gave about
15 workshops and talks in Kenya and Tanzania in 2001.
The talks must have been successful since the Dominicans
invited him to return for a more permanent assignment.
So, after having been the director of a retreat house in Oregon for 15 years, it was an opportune invitation that he was
allowed to accept. He ministered at a newly established
Dominican Parish in Nairobi from 2005 to 2013 where he
was still able to give talks and workshops in various parts of
East Africa.
He is now assigned and stationed at St. Dominic’s Parish in
San Francisco where he is still involved in various talks and
presentations on Liturgy, Art, Prayer and public speaking.

Each of us probably has a bucket list of
dreams and desires of things we would like to
have or do, but, what does God have in mind for
us? What does God want us to have or want us
to do? This retreat will help us identify our own
“bucket list” and determine how this list would
match God’s list for us!

La Cuaresma - ¿Por qué se nos impone las cenizas?
La imposición de las cenizas es un símbolo anciano de arrepentimiento y luto (véase Isaías 58,5; Ester 4,1;
Daniel 9,3; 2Samuel 13,19), y nos recuerda que nuestra vida en la tierra es pasajera y que nuestra vida definitiva se
encuentra en el cielo. La Cuaresma comienza con el Miércoles de Ceniza y es un tiempo de oración, penitencia y
ayuno. Cuarenta días que la Iglesia marca para la conversión del corazón. Las palabras que se usan para la imposición de cenizas, son: “Recuerda que eres polvo y al polvo has de volver" o “Arrepiéntete y cree en el Evangelio.”
Ambas son poderosas declaraciones de fe y son un recordatorio de cuáles deben ser nuestras prioridades en esta vida.
La ceniza no es un rito mágico, y no nos quita nuestros pecados. Para ello tenemos el Sacramento de la Reconciliación. Es un signo de arrepentimiento, de penitencia, pero sobre todo de conversión. Es el inicio del camino
de la Cuaresma, para acompañar a Jesús desde su desierto hasta el día de su triunfo que es el Domingo de Resurrección.
Reglas para la Cuaresma
• Miércoles de Ceniza: es un día marcado por el ayuno y la abstinencia de carne.
• Los viernes de la Cuaresma: son días marcados por la abstinencia de carne.
• Vienes Santo: es día de ayuno y abstinencia de carne.
El ayuno
El ayuno obliga de los 18 hasta los 59 años. El ayuno consiste en hacer una sola comida fuerte al día. Si es
necesario para mantener la fuerza, dos comidas pequeñas están permitidas, pero tomar alimentos sólidos entre las
comidas no está permitido. El ayuno es signo de que tú:
• Quieres “ayunar de pecados” y pedirle perdón a Dios por haberlo ofendido;
• Quieres cambiar de vida para agradarlo siempre
• Prefieres el pan de la Palabra de Dios
• Te solidarizas con los hambrientos
• Frenas el consumismo
• Quieres compartir lo tuyo
La Abstinencia
La abstinencia obliga a partir de los 14 años hasta los 59 años y consiste en no comer carne. La abstinencia es signo de que tú:
• Quieres “abstenerte del pecado”
• No te comes el pan de los pobres

El sacrificio
Al hacer sacrificios debemos hacerlos con alegría, ya que es por amor a Dios. Dios es el que ve nuestro sacrificio
desde el cielo y es el que nos va a recompensar. “Cuando ayunéis no aparezcáis tristes, como los hipócritas que
desfiguran su rostro para que los hombres vean que ayunan; en verdad os digo, ya recibieron su recompensa. Tú
cuando ayunes, úngete la cabeza y lava tu cara para que no vean los hombres que ayunas, sino Tu Padre, que está
en lo secreto: y tu padre que ve en lo secreto, te recompensará “ (Mt 6,6).
Venta de Biblias
¿Necesitas una Biblia o te gustaría comprar uno para alguien como un regalo para la Primera Comunión o
para la Cuaresma? Entonces ven y ve las Biblias que tendremos en la venta el próximo fin de semana. ¡Leer la Palabra de Dios es una necesidad para nosotros como católicos!

THANKS YOU!
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul wishes to thank all
of the parishioners for their generosity with the Souper
Bowl Collection. Slightly over $1,300 was collected
In 2013 the Society handed out 1537 bags of food to
489 different families. This does not include the 200
turkeys and food baskets that were given out at Christmas and the 150 that were given out at Thanksgiving
While we allow families to come to our food pantry
once a month, 40% of the families only came once last
year and 75% came four times or less. These are the
people that have a run of bad luck, but with a helping
hand get back on their feet and no longer need us. 10%
came eight or more times. They are primarily the elderly and people with disabilities who are living on very
small fixed income and just barely manage to get by
each month.
Thank you for your continued support!

24th Annual Aquinas Lecture
Hatred in the Light of Love:
A Thomistic Analysis
with Diana Fritz-Cates, PhD
Hatred is widely regarded as a problem for human
beings and their societies. But what is hatred? How is it
best conceived? Does hatred, in any of its forms, have a
place in a good human life? This lecture will present a
conceptual and ethical analysis of hatred that has its
basis in the moral psychology of St. Thomas Aquinas.

St. Vincent de Paul Food Drive
Our volunteers at St. Vincent de Paul need our
help. In order to keep up with the demands of our
struggling economy, they are asking for donations
of specific items each month to help restock their
shelves to better serve those in need. This ministry distributes food every Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday from 9:00am to 10:00am at the
Holy Rosary Gymnasium. Each bag is identical
and carefully packed with nonperishable items.
This month, they need the following items:
Pork & Beans 16oz. can
White Rice 2 lb. bag
Creamy Peanut Butter 18oz.
A new food item has added this week!
Thank you for your continued
support and generosity!
We appreciate your donations!
God Bless You!
