SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME – FEBRUARY 15, 2015
The 3 LEGGED STOOL
Family Meals + Family Prayer + Sunday Mass =
Stronger Families AND Stronger Marriages
LEG #2 FAMILY PRAYER
PARISHIONERS’ SPEAK
Praying together is also a struggle! We used to
say the entire rosary together but I have found
that my kids--mostly my oldest--cannot handle
such a long prayer. We now just say one decade
together. Sometimes to teach my children how to
meditate, I will ask them what they thought
about as they were saying AFTER the rosary is
done rather than before. It helps me to know that
they are trying to focus on the mystery and not
just rambling off Hail Mary’s. I have decided
that during Lent we will add on a decade and
then do so again the following year until we are
eventually saying all 5 mysteries. We also do
some days where we will say personal prayers
where we just pray out loud from our hearts.
~A Parishioner
Wednesday is Lent—can you pray as a family?
Fr. Gregory
ASH WEDNESDAY
Masses will be at 8am & 7:30pm at St. Bernard and
6pm at Ascension.
Lenten Fasting and Abstinence
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory
days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In
addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days
of abstinence.
For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the
norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until
age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to
eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may also
be taken, but not to equal a full meal. The
norms concerning abstinence from meat are
binding upon members of the Latin Catholic
Church from age 14 onwards.

Church of St. Bernard
Cologne, MN
Last week we were getting ready for the Winter Carnival and praying for good weather. We hope you
will join us at the Carnival today and enjoy a great Turkey
dinner and all the trimmings, try your hand at games, bingo
and raffles, and win some of the wonderful prizes that are
available.
Lenten Season: We will begin our Lenten Season on
Wed.,Feb 18, 2015. It is a special time to reflect on the spiritual side of our life. There are many opportunities for us to
participate in Lenten activities here at St. Bernard. Along
with our weekday Mass, we have Stations of the Cross on
Wed.at 2:30 PM with the children. Also, on the first Wed. of
each month we have all-day Eucharistic Adoration from 8:30
AM-8:00 PM. I encourage you to take some time to participate in one or more of these spiritual activities. If you cannot
take time for this, have a special time at home with your family to say a rosary or read scripture. Family prayer is very
important and Lent is a good time to begin this practice at
home.
Everyone seemed to have a good time during Catholic
Schools Week. Each day we had special speakers or events.
Wednesday brought a special Catholic Schools Week mass,
along with our Open House lunch. After the lunch students
played bingo Thank you to everyone who attended the Open
House! The Wacky Winter Olympics was quite a blast on
Thursday. Friday afternoon everyone got a chance to relax
and get cozy with a movie and popcorn.
Catholic Schools Raffle :St. Bernard school is participating
in the 2015 Catholic Schools raffle this year. The grand
prize is your choice of a 2015 Ford Escape or $25,000 in
cash. Catholic United Financial sponsors the raffle so the
school gets to keep all $5 of every ticket sold. Help us reach
our goal of $6000 by buying a ticket after Mass or from the
school. Tickets are on sale until Sunday, March 8. The drawing of the winner will be on March 19th, 2015.
The St. Bernard Evening of Reflection, scheduled on
March 1st, 4:15-8 PM is fast approaching. The concelebrated Mass @ 7PM with Father Gregory and Father Joe fulfills
the Sunday Obligation.
