5TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME                                     FEBRUARY 7, 2021

The Pastor’s Corner
             FROM
             FR.CONNEALY

Happy Sunday!

We are closing in on the liturgical season of Lent. Ash Wednesday is February 17th. We
will have Mass at 6:30am, 8:30am, and 6pm. There will also be a liturgy of the Word
service at 12:00pm with the distribution of ashes. This year, the Vatican has announced
a different procedure for the distribution of ashes. Robert Cardinal Sarah, the prefect of
the Congregation for Divine Worship, issued the decree that says the prayer, “Repent,
and believe in the Gospel” or “Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return” is to
be said once over the entire congregation. Then as people come up in line, ashes are to
be sprinkled on the top of the head without saying anything. This is in fact the custom in
many places in Europe and the Middle East. It is consistent with the biblical teaching
that we hear on Ash Wednesday, “Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that
people may see them; otherwise you will have no recompense from your heavenly
Father.” (Matthew 6:1). I pray that this celebration of Ash Wednesday will bring us to a
deeper understanding of our own frailty and need for the Lord.

We announced last weekend that our 6:30am Sunday Mass will continue through
February. However, it will be DISCONTINUED in March. Therefore, February 28th will be
the last Sunday that we have the 6:30am Sunday Mass. I am especially grateful for the
many volunteers who have made this Mass a possibility from our sacristans, ushers,
lectors, and altar servers. Thank you to all of you!

I pray that everyone has a wonderful week as we enter our last full week before the
season of Lent begins. God bless you!

In Christ,

Fr. Connealy

5TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME                                           FEBRUARY 7, 2021

LA ESQUINA DEL PASTOR
              DE
              PADRE CONNEALY

¡Feliz domingo!

Nos acercamos al tiempo litúrgico de Cuaresma. El Miércoles de Ceniza es el 17 de
febrero este año. Tendremos misa a las 6:30 y 8:30 de la manaña y 6:00 por la tarde.
También habrá un servicio de Liturgia de la Palabra al mediodía con la distribución de
cenizas. Este año, el Vaticano ha anunciado un procedimiento diferente para la
distribución de cenizas. El cardenal Robert Sarah, el prefecto de la Congregación para la
Adoración Divina, emitió el decreto que dice la oración, "Arrepiéntanse y crean en el
Evangelio" o "Recuerda que eres polvo y al polvo volverás”, se debe decir una vez
sobre toda la congregación. Luego, cuando la gente se ponga en línea, las cenizas se
esparcirán en la parte superior de la cabeza sin decir nada. Esta es, de hecho, la
costumbre en muchos lugares de Europa y Oriente Medio. Es consistente con la
enseñanza bíblica que escuchamos el Miércoles de Ceniza: “Cuídate de no realizar
obras justas para que la gente pueda verlas; de lo contrario, no recibirás recompensa de
tu Padre celestial". (Mateo 6:1). Oro para que esta celebración del Miércoles de Ceniza
nos lleve a una comprensión más profunda de nuestra propia fragilidad y necesidad del
Señor.

Anunciamos el fin de semana pasado que nuestra misa dominical de las 6:30 de la
manaña continuará hasta febrero. Sin embargo, será DISCONTINUADO en marzo. Por lo
tanto, el 28 de febrero será el último domingo que tengamos la Misa dominical de las
6:30 de la manaña. Estoy especialmente agradecido por los muchos voluntarios que han
hecho de esta Misa una posibilidad de parte de nuestros sacristanes, ujieres, lectores y
monaguillos. ¡Gracias a todos ustedes! Oro para que todos tengan una semana
maravillosa al entrar en nuestra última semana completa antes de que comience la
temporada de Cuaresma. ¡Dios te bendiga!

En Cristo,

P. Connealy
