Jesus manifests the powerful, healing of God
by curing the leper who was forced to live under
severe restrictions by the Jewish legislation.
He turned to Jesus in his need and was filled with joy.
We are called to imitate the healing
and compassionate Jesus.

Updated Blessing Protocols
During this time of pandemic, the Holy See has
modified the method of distribution for Ash Wednes-
day.
Due to the pandemic the priest is unable to touch
parishioners foreheads to make the sign of the cross.
The more ancient method, still used throughout
much of the world, should be adopted. This method
allows for a small amount (pinch) of dry ashes to be
sprinkled on the crown of the head, ensuring no
physical contact. The ancient method is as follows:
The Priest says the prayer of blessing for the ashes.
He sprinkles the ashes with holy water, without saying
anything. Then he addresses all those present and
only once says the formula as it appears in the Ro-
man Missal, applying it to all in general: “Remember
that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
The Priest then cleanses his hands, puts on a face
mask and distributes the ashes to those who come to
him. The Priest takes the ashes and sprinkles them on
the head of each one without saying anything.
Why Ash Wednesday is not a holy day of obligation?
Despite the often packed churches, you may be surprised to hear that Ash Wednesday is not a Holy day of
obligation. Holy days of obligation commemorate a particular event (such as the birth of Christ at Christmas)
or celebrate particular people (such as Mary’s Immaculate Conception or the feast of All Saints). Ash
Wednesday is a day of penance, fasting, and abstinence to begin the season of Lent. In a sense, it focuses
on a concept rather than something particular and concrete.
Of course, repentance ought to be reflected in particular, concrete ways! That’s one of the reasons that
attending Mass on Ash Wednesday is a very good idea. It marks the beginning of a solemn season of pen-
ance. Despite all its comparisons to the desert, Lent can be very fruitful for our spiritual growth! Beginning this
season with the celebration of Mass and the reception of ashes is a sign of our commitment to God and to
spiritual growth.

MEDITACIÓN DEL EVANGELIO
“Pero la gente venía a el de todas partes” (Marcos 1:45). Tengo presente en mi mente, los inicios de la pandemia que
azota al mundo desde el 2019. Conforme llegó el 2020, los casos se multiplicaron en todo el mundo. La angustia se apo-
deró de muchos de nosotros por la enfermedad, la falta de trabajo, la pérdida de viviendas, y más. También, fluye el
recuerdo del Papa Francisco haciendo oración por el fin de la pandemia. Acudimos a orar gente de todos los lugares
de la tierra. Cada país, cada gobierno encontró la forma de orar juntos, Misa, Hora Santa, y el Rosario. ¿Lo recuerdas?
Nuestra oración continúa sin cesar. ¡Sananos, Señor, como aquel leproso del Evangelio! Límpianos, necesitamos tu com-
pasión.
La Iglesia tiene grandes santos y santas que se han dedicado al cuidado de los enfermos. Uno de ellos es San Camilo
de Lelis. Nació el 25 de mayo de 1550 en Abruzo, Italia. Fue sacerdote. Murió el 4 de julio de 1614. Es el Santo protector
de los enfermos, a quienes cuidaba y atendía con amor. Parte de su oración dice así: “Haznos, como San Camilo, cons-
cientes de que, en el rostro del enfermo, del que sufre y está agobiado o del que padece grandes necesidades, está tu
mano acariciando a nuestro corazón”. Ojalá, que el ejemplo de este santo católico nos ayude, ahora, a nosotros, a girar
nuestro corazón y la mente hacia a Dios. Para, lograr así, ser personas de compasión y servicio. Dejarse tocar por Jesús
tiene su compromiso. Arrodillarse, pedir, y lo más importante querer. ¡Quiero Señor, no me dejes!
