Church of the Assumption
A note from the Pastor
DearbrothersandsistersinChrist,
T
he Holy Spirit manifests his presence in the Church and
the world by the way He inspires people to abandon
themselves to the will of God and allow him to work
wonders through them. Most recently we have been mourning
the loss of one of them, whose answer to her divine call has
produced so many fruits: Mother Angelica.
Mother Angelica passed from this life to God on Easter
Sunday, March 27th. She was a member of the Poor Clares of
Perpetual Adoration, a monastic community whose charism is
adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament in a spirit of thanksgiving, and prayer for all but in a special way for priests and
missions.
Borrowing from an article by Bishop Robert Barron, I like
to reflect upon three areas of particular spiritual importance in
the life of Mother Angelica: “her trust in God’s providence, her
keen sense of the supernatural quality of religion, and her conviction that suffering is of salvific value.” They are, of course,
so relevant to us today as they were to her throughout her life.
Trust in God’s providence. According to Bishop Barron,
“Mother had a blithe confidence that if God called her to do
something, he would provide what was needed.” It is easy to
believe that without such a confidence in God EWTN, and all
its amazing accomplishments, would not have been possible.
Undoubtedly, Mother Angelica understood her call to become
the most charismatic American Catholic media personality of
her time as something coming from God. She once said, “We
need to be attuned to the will of God so we only ask for the
things He desires, then you will get all you ask.”
Supernatural dimension of Christianity. At a time when
there was a tendency to naturalize the supernatural, to reduce
Christianity to the works of social justice and the cultivation of
psychological well-being, Mother Angelica “brought to the
fore prayer, liturgy, the sacraments, sacramentals, the saints,
adoration of the Eucharist, spiritual warfare, etc.” A great lesson for us today, a call to go back to the “basics” of Christian
life and find closeness to God in the silence of a personal relationship with Him.
Understanding the value of suffering. Mother Angelica endured tremendous suffering, both physical and psychological,
most of her life. But she appreciated these trials as opportunities for spiritual growth. She once said, “Sometimes my worst
day – one filled with pain and suffering – is my best day if I
have born it cheerfully and I have born it with love.” And,
“Only in eternity we shall see the beauty of the soul, and only
then shall we realize what great things were accomplished by
interior suffering.”
May the following words become our daily prayer, as they
gave strength to Mother Angelica during her life and ministry:
“My God, You are my anchor on a stormy sea, my serenity on
a windy night, my hope when all else fails. Your Presence surrounds me like a protective shield and when the arrows of my
selfishness pierce through, your loving arms extend themselves
to reach out and grasp my wandering soul.” Mother Angelica,
1923-2016. R.I.P.
Withmyblessing,
Fr.Paolo

ARCHDIOCESE OF NEWARK
2016 LENTEN REGULATIONS
1. The days of both Fast and Abstinence during Lent
are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. If possible,
the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter
Vigil (on 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. The other
Fridays of Lent are days of Abstinence.
On a day of Fast, only one (1) full meal is
permitted, and two (2) smaller meals, which if added
together, would not exceed the main meal in quantity.
Those between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to
fast. On a day of Abstinence, no meat may be eaten.
Those who have reached the age of 14 are obliged by the
law of abstinence.
2. The obligation to observe the laws of Fast &
Abstinence “substantially”, or as a whole, is a serious
obligation.
3. The Fridays of the year, outside of Lent, are
designated as days of penance, but each individual may
substitute for the traditional abstinence from meat some
other practice of voluntary self-denial as penance.
4. The time for fulfilling the Paschal Precept (Easter
Duty*) extends from the First Sunday of Lent, February
14, 2016 to The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity,
May 22, 2016.
*Canon 920, 1. All the faithful, after they have
been initiated into the Most Holy Eucharist, are bound by
the obligation of receiving Communion as least once a
year.
