Lent is a 40-day season beginning on Ash Wednesday and con-
cluding at sundown on Holy Thursday. Lent is a time to par-
ticipate in self-examination, fasting and penance in preparation
for our Easter observance. We prepare to renew our baptism -
when we rose into our new Christian life - as we celebrate
Christ rising from the dead. It is a time of prayer, forgiveness
and grace.
HOW DO I OBSERVE LENT?
1. Prayer: Privately, in Adoration & in Small Groups/Family
2. Penitence: Repent & Reconcile yourself with God
3. Almsgiving: Tithe & Contribute to our Food Drive
& Charities
4. Self-Denial: Fast to remember your hunger for God
ABSTINENCE
When: Ash Wed, Good Friday, all Fridays of Lent
Who: Catholics 14 years of age and older unless health is
affected
FASTING
When: Ash Wednesday and Good Friday
Who: Catholics who are the ages of 18-59 (inclusive)
What: 1 full meal or 2 smaller meals that do not equal a full
meal, unless health is affected.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT AT MASS DURING LENT?
Lent Colors: Purple is used as a sign of repentance
Prayerful Pauses: Time used to reflect on our sins & God’s
Mercy
Music: No “Alleluias” – we “fast” from the joyful songs during
Lent while we reflect on God’s Mercy, his sacrifice & love.
Eucharistic Prayers: Strong theme of forgiveness/
reconciliation
“We will all be changed.” ~ 1 Corinthians 15:51

SV Shrove Tuesday
R Pancake Supper
Tuesday, February 16, 2021
Sponsored by the JGS Men’s Club
CURB-SIDE
Plans are underway to have a Curb-side Shrove Tuesday
Pancake Supper on Tuesday, February 16th, sponsored by
the JGS Men’s Club. To make this happen we need a
commitment of 100 orders by Friday, February 12
5:00 p.m.
Look for updates via flocknote or the website to see if the
Men’s Club received enough orders to proceed with the
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper.
Why is it called
SHROVE TUESDAY?
Shrove Tuesday got its name from the reconciliation sought before
Lent (to shrive) that is, to hear confession, assign penance and give
absolution. One of several names given to Shrove Tuesday was
Pancake Day—in order to use up eggs, milk and lard before Lent,
with its strict conditions for fasting. Another name which was given
to Shrove Tuesday was the name we are probably most familiar
with: Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras (imported to New Orleans from
France). This day also became known as “Carnival” (from the
Italian, “carne-vale = farewell to meat). Shrove Tuesday then
became a celebration and feast on rich foods and pastries in
anticipation of the rigors of Lent—simply in order to use up such
foods that were not even allowed to be kept in the house during the
Lenten fast.
“We will all be changed.” ~ 1 Corinthians 15:51

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent.
Following the example of the Ninevites, who did
penance in sackcloth and ashes, our foreheads are
marked with ashes to humble our hearts and
remind us that life passes away on Earth. Ashes
are a symbol of penance made a sacramental by the
blessing of the Church, and they help us develop a
spirit of humility and sacrifice (Catholic.org).
RECEIVING ASHES
There are two ways to receive ashes this year:
1.) In-person during Mass, socially distanced.
2.) Ashes for distribution at home.
In an effort to connect the “domestic church” to the
parish, ashes will be offered through the church office in
advance of Ash Wednesday. Please contact the office at
secretary@ccjgs.org or call 410-257-3810.

at home. Make it a meatless soup, salad,
sandwich or upside down breakfast night!
Stations of the Cross
in person and virtual
Fridays at 6:00 p.m.
Join us for Stations of the Cross. To keep physically distanced,
parishioners will remain in the pews while the presider walks
from station to station, leading the prayers. Or join in via our
Facebook page or YouTube channel. The links are below. Paper
copies of the Stations will be made available so parishioners can
follow along at home.
JOIN US IN THE JOURNEY!
The Stations of the Cross began as the practice of pious pilgrims
to Jerusalem who would retrace the final journey of Jesus Christ
to Calvary. Later, for the many who wanted to pass along the
same route, but could not make the trip to Jerusalem, a practice
developed that eventually took the form of the fourteen
stations currently found in almost every church. ~USCCB
