Flu Season—Refrain from Sign of Peace We have decided for the next several weeks of the height of the Flu Season to discontinue the traditional “Sign of Peace” handshake greeting at Mass. This is a temporary move to help reduce the spread of communicable disease during this intense Flu Season. LENTEN REGULATIONS REMINDER Traditionally the Lenten Season is a time of sacrifice throughout the universal church. Fast and abstinence are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. All the Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence from meat. Lent is also a season in which prayer, the reception of the sacraments, charity and almsgiving are emphasized. “It has pleased God to reserve me for this present time. It seemed awhile ago as if he rejected me as a stone unfit to enter his building, but he has the goodness to take me now to be placed in it; I am ready to suffer all things for his name, that I may have a part in his kingdom with his saints.” Saint Serenus the Gardener at his trial Memorial~ February 23 Patronage~ Bachelors & Falsely accused people Page 1 MONDAY Gn 4:1-15, 25; Mk 8:11-13 6:30 A.M.

Next Weekend Gracious God, You sent us Your Spirit to help us live the Gospel according to the gifts we have been given. Show us how to be good stewards of your grace and passionate followers of Christ, Your Son. Grant us the wisdom to recognize that through His gift of the Eucharist there is one bread, and we are one body. Give us the strength to proclaim His Good News in word and deed. Teach us to live, no longer for ourselves, but in Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. NO SECOND COLLECTION Reflection for February 15, 2015 The fate of a leper is a great tragedy at any time and place. In Jesus’ time, lepers were considered condemned, part of the plagues God sent as punishment. They were cast out of society and abandoned. St. Mark’s Gospel reveals the unthinkable. Jesus reaches out and touches a leper. He risks catching the contagious disease and heals the man. As the Gospel story teaches, no one is abandoned in Christ. Are there those in our society or in our personal lives for whom we ascribe no hope, who we have abandoned, treated like lepers? Or as Christ’s stewards of our sisters and brothers, do we risk reaching out and touching those who may seem to us to be “unclean” or not worthy of our time and attention? Amen. “Stand fast, therefore, in this conduct and follow the example of the Lord, ‘firm and unchangeable in faith, lovers of the brotherhood, loving each other, united in truth,’ helping each other with the mildness of the Lord, despising no man.” Saint Polycarp of Smyrna Memorial~ February 23 Patronage~ Earache Page 5 Time, Talent, and Treasure NEW MAUSOLEUM AT ST.
