Mary. Christian men need other
Christian men to walk with. Together
we can grow in our faith, grow closer
to God, and help each other live
Christ-centered lives. The group will
meet for breakfast on Wednesday
mornings, with the first meeting on
February 25th, during the first week
of Lent. If you are interested in participating, contact Ralph Benedetto at

St. Mary Ladies Guild Retreat

SVDP...is out of or very low on the
following items:
Mac n Cheese, spaghetti, noodles,
jelly, peanut butter, rice, dry beans,
tuna, potted meats (like spam, Treat,
etc.), canned fruit, canned veggies
other than green beans or corn.
Thank you for your generosity and
your Stewardship of Treasure. You
are living the Beatitudes when you
assist the Society with their work with
those in need.
Lent, the Church's annual prebaptismal retreat, prepares us to gather around the Easter font, renew our
baptismal vows, and receive new life
from the water as the elect are
plunged into Christ's death and resurrection. This core meaning is more or
less available, depending on whether
we journey with catechumens in the
parish and on the vigor of our liturgical celebration of the Triduum. Some
persist in seeing Lent as a lonely journey in the wilderness; yet this week
we enter the Lenten fast in solidarity
with one another. The smudged foreheads you will spy throughout Ash
Wednesday on buses, street corners,
and supermarket aisles remind you
that you are hardly alone in your desire to enact a spring cleaning regime
for your spiritual life.
Long ago, this kind of repentance was
available to Christians only once.
Ashes and sackcloth were not raiment
for a day, but permanent habits for
public sinners. Fasting became a way
of life, and if they sinned severely
again, there was no hope of restored
communion. Happily, this system did
not endure. It produced reluctant
Christians who even held back from
baptism, like St. Augustine did, out of
fear. Today we have recovered an
ancient tradition that conversion and
repentance are constant themes on
life's journey, and that Lent is an annual opportunity to revive our baptismal identity, both as individuals and
communities.

Abortion in America
"America you are beautiful and
blessed. The ultimate test of your
greatness is the way you treat every
human being, but especially the weakest and most defenseless. If you want
equal justice for all and true freedom
and lasting peace, then America, defend life". - Pope John Paul II
• America was founded upon the "selfevident truth" that all humans are endowed with the unalienable right to
LIFE. Yet a baby is aborted every 23
seconds in the U.S. Over 4,000 babies
are aborted every day. About 57 million babies have been aborted since
the decision of Roe v Wade in January 1973. Abortion is truly "America's
holocaust".
• As a result of Roe v Wade and sister
case, Doe v Bolton, America has
some of the most liberal laws on abortion in the world, effectively allowing
abortion on demand throughout the
whole nine months of pregnancy.
• The abortion rate in the U.S. is higher than Western Europe and Canada.
It is not as high as the rates in China,
Cuba and the former Soviet Union
countries which have reached epidemic levels.
• Teenagers constitute around 20% of
all abortions in the U.S. About 55% of
minors who have abortions do not tell
their parents.
• 17 states use public funds to pay for
abortions, so about 15% of all abortions in the U.S. are paid for with
public money. Our tax dollars fund
Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider and promoter of
casual sex and abortion.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Jesús manifiesta su poder mediante el
perdón de los pecados (Marcos 2:1-12).
Por medio de la reconciliación con Dios, Jesús sana a los enfermos, marginalizados y hasta sus propios enemigos.
Este poder de perdonar pecados Jesús
mismo lo encarga a su Iglesia, infundiendo su Espíritu sobre los primeros
discípulos (Juan 20:22-23).
Según el Símbolo (Credo) de los
Apóstoles, los cristianos creemos en el
"perdón de los pecados". Esta creencia
se relaciona con creer en el Espíritu Santo, la Iglesia, la comunión de los santos,
la resurrección del cuerpo y la vida eterna. En el perdón de los pecados, el Espíritu Santo manifiesta su continua presencia y acción en la Iglesia y comunión
de los santos. Quienes reciben el perdón
de los pecados mediante la celebración
del Bautismo o del sacramento de la
Reconciliación, están preparados para la
resurrección y la vida eterna.
El perdón de los pecados manifiesta el
poder de Cristo, del Espíritu Santo y de
la Iglesia. Los cristianos estamos llamados al perdón; perdonando, así como
deseamos ser perdonados. Perdonando,
como Jesucristo.

Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul
La historia completa del pueblo judío va (SVDP)…
PARA LA GLORIA DE DIOS
dirigida hacia una meta: que Dios sea
glorificado por medio del pueblo escogido. Los cristianos también están llamados a "hacer todo para la gloria de Dios". En las Escrituras de hoy Pablo nos
recuerda que la mejor manera que tenemos para glorificar a Dios es buscar el
beneficio de "todos" tal como Cristo
hizo cuando derramó su sangre por toda
la humanidad.
La lectura de Levítico explica una
manera en que los judíos buscaban el
beneficio de muchos, manteniendo a los
leprosos y la lepra alejados del pueblo
escogido. Jesús encuentra una manera
mejor: cura al leproso, que inmediatamente retorna a la comunidad para
difundir la Buena Nueva de Jesús a todo
el que le escuche. De este modo tanto
Jesús como el leproso cumplen con su
llamado de glorificar al Dios que nos
llena "con la alegría de la salvación".

Sinodo de Obispos
En preparación para el próximo Sínodo de Obispos, el Papa Francisco ha
solicitado a todos los Obispos que hagan una consulta amplia sobre los
asuntos de la Vocación y la Misión de
la Familia en el Mundo Contemporáneo. El Obispo Burbidge pide la participación de usted a que responda el
Cuestionario que se encuentra en nuestra página web Diocesana, que puede
encontrar en la siguiente dirección:
www.dioceseofraleigh.org . Debido
al tiempo que requiere la Santa Sede, el
Obispo les pide que sometan sus
respuestas antes del 15 de Febrero del
2015. Las respuestas de este Cuestionario ayudarán en el documento preparatorio que usará el Sínodo de Obispos,
quienes se reunirán en el otoño del
2015, para formular una respuesta pastoral a los desafíos que enfrentan las
familias al vivir su vocación y su misión en Cristo.
