St. Pius X News & Notes
Thank you from the RCIA class
The RCIA class would like to thank everyone who contributed their time and effort in making the Rite of Election a
wonderful celebration. Your example of how a parish can
work together was an inspiration to us.
St. Vincent de Paul on Eternal Word Television
Network The Society of St. Vincent de Paul and International President Michael Thio, National President Sheila
Gilbert and National CEO Dave Barringer will be featured in
an upcoming episode of new EWTN series, “The Church
Universal.” “The Church Universal” features the good news
about lay movements and their central role in the new evangelization. Fr. Joseph Mary Wolfe, M.F.V.A., introduces
viewers to the varied apostolates and outreach ministries
within the Church.
The St. Vincent de Paul episode will air on the following
dates: Sunday, March 1, 2:00 pm, Tuesday, March 3, 2 am,
and Friday, March 6, 7 pm, Pacific Standard Time.
Remember the formula. The Church does a good job capturing
certain truths with easy-to-remember lists and formulas: 10 Commandments, 7 sacraments, 3 persons in the Trinity. For Lent, the
Church gives us almost a slogan—Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving—as the three things we need to work on during the season.
2. It’s a time of prayer. Lent is essentially an act of prayer spread out
over 40 days. As we pray, we go on a journey, one that hopefully brings
us closer to Christ and leaves us changed by the encounter with him.
3. It’s a time to fast. With the fasts of Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, meatless Fridays, and our personal disciplines interspersed, Lent
is the only time many Catholics these days actually fast. And maybe
that’s why it gets all the attention. “What are you giving up for Lent?
Hotdogs? Beer? Jelly beans?” It’s almost a game for some of us, but fasting is actually a form of penance, which helps us turn away from sin
and toward Christ.
4. It’s a time to work on discipline. The 40 days of Lent are also a
good, set time to work on personal discipline in general. Instead of
giving something up, it can be doing something positive. “I’m going to
exercise more. I’m going to pray more. I’m going to be nicer to my family, friends and coworkers.”
5. It’s about dying to yourself. The more serious side of Lenten discipline is that it’s about more than self-control – it’s about finding aspects of yourself that are less than Christ-like and letting them die.
The suffering and death of Christ are foremost on our minds during
Lent, and we join in these mysteries by suffering, dying with Christ
and being resurrected in a purified form.
6. Don’t do too much. It’s tempting to make Lent some ambitious
period of personal reinvention, but it’s best to keep it simple and focused. There’s a reason the Church works on these mysteries year after
year. We spend our entire lives growing closer to God. Don’t try to
cram it all in one Lent. That’s a recipe for failure.
7. Lent reminds us of our weakness. Of course, even when we set
simple goals for ourselves during Lent, we still have trouble keeping
them. When we fast, we realize we’re all just one meal away from hunger. In both cases, Lent shows us our weakness. This can be painful,
but recognizing how helpless we are makes us seek God’s help with
renewed urgency and sincerity.
8. Be patient with yourself. When we’re confronted with our own
weakness during Lent, the temptation is to get angry and frustrated.
“What a bad person I am!” But that’s the wrong lesson. God is calling
us to be patient and to see ourselves as he does, with unconditional
love.
9. Reach out in charity. As we experience weakness and suffering
during Lent, we should be renewed in our compassion for those who
are hungry, suffering or otherwise in need. The third part of the Lenten
formula is almsgiving. It’s about more than throwing a few extra dollars in the collection plate; it’s about reaching out to others and helping them without question as a way of sharing the experience of God’s
unconditional love.
10. Learn to love like Christ. Giving of ourselves in the midst of our
suffering and self-denial brings us closer to loving like Christ, who
suffered and poured himself out unconditionally on cross for all of us.
Lent is a journey through the desert to the foot of the cross on Good
Friday, as we seek him out, ask his help, join in his suffering, and learn
to love like him.
