D
ear friends in Sacred Heart:
This is the last Sunday of the first part in Ordinary Time. Lent begins this coming Wednesday
with the distribution of ashes. Here are some things we need to keep in mind.
 The distribution of ashes reminds us of our own mortality and calls us to repentance. In the early
Church, Ash Wednesday was the day on which those who had sinned, and who wished to be readmitted to the Church, would begin their public penance. The ashes that we receive are a reminder of our
own sinfulness, and many Catholics leave them on their foreheads all day as a sign of humility.
© J.S. Paluch Co.,
This year for Ash Wednesday we will have in Sacred Heart the following schedule:
8:00 am – Regular Mass
10:00 am – School Mass
1:00 pm – 5:00 pm – Prayer Service at 1:00 pm followed by DISTRIBUTION OF ASHES until 5:00 pm
6:30 pm - Evening Mass
8:00 pm – SPANISH MASS
 During Lent we are called to observe:
ABSTINENCE from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years old and older on Ash Wednesday and all
the Fridays of Lent.
FASTING is to be observed on Ash Wednesday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59. Those
who are bound by this may take only ONE full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain
strength according to one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals IS NOT permitted.
The Special Paschal fast, as well as abstinence, are prescribed for Good Friday and encouraged for Holy Saturday.
 This fasting and abstinence is not simply a form of penance, however; it is also a call for us to take stock of our
spiritual lives. As Lent begins, we should set specific spiritual goals we would like to reach before Easter and decide how we will pursue them—for instance, by going to daily Mass when we can and receiving the Sacrament of
Confession more often.
Peace to all,
Fr. Francisco Ortega

Our Lenten Theme is: “HE DIED SO THAT WE MAY LIVE”
LENTEN OBLIGATIONS
FAST & ABSTINENCE:The code of Canon Law states that all Christ’s faithful are obliged by the Lord’s command, each in his or her own way to undertake that conversion of mind & heart called penance. In order that
the faithful may join together in a common practice of penance, some days of penance are prescribed. On
these days the faithful in a special way devote themselves to prayer, engage in works of piety & charity, &
deny themselves by fulfilling their obligations more faithfully & especially by observing the fast & abstinence
the Church prescribes. DAYS OF FAST & ABSTINENCE: Ash Wednesday & Good Friday.
DAYS OF ABSTINENCE: ALL Fridays in Lent. ABSTINENCE: Means NOT eating meat, & binds Catholics
14 years of age & older. FAST: Means LIMITING oneself to one full meal & two lighter meals
each day & binds Catholics from their 18th to 59th birthdays. One is not bound to fast if health
or the ability to work is affected. PRAYER Please try to devote as much time to prayer & reflection as possible. Morning Mass is at 8:00AM every day! Stations of the Cross are prayed every
Friday of Lent at 6:00PM in English & 7:00PM in Spanish. ALMSGIVING Please try to help the
poor during Lent. There are a number of ways. Operation Rice Bowl, Alms for the Poor, bringing clothes for Catholic Charities on the last Sunday, & bringing food for our parish pantry on
the second Sunday of the month are all ways we can help the less fortunate.
SOUP & BREAD & STATIONS OF THE CROSS:
We all will join for “Stations of the Cross” in the Church at 6:00pm in English &
at 7:00pm in Spanish. We will be serving Soup & Bread on Fridays during Lent
at 6:30pm in the Marian Hall. We may be able to skip a meal & experience hunger & thirst in the world. One way to observe Lent.
OPERATION RICE BOWL KICK-OFF
As Lent begins, we invite everyone to participate in Operation Rice-Bowl by taking
home a Rice Bowl next weekend February 21st & 22nd. This project, run by Catholic
Relief Services, provides a great opportunity for a meaningful Lenten observance.
By following the daily suggestions in the rice Bowl calendar we observe the traditional Lenten practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. The Operation Rice Bowl program also gives us the chance to go further, by learning & helping as well. Through the Rice Bowl
materials, we learn about the poor and underprivileged all around the world, and we have the
chance to help make their lives better by praying for them, and giving what we save in the Rice Bowl
to them. It’s a great way to observe Lent, and make the world a little better by helping the poorest of
God’s children. Please take a Rice Bowl home and participate in this worthwhile project. The Rice
Bowls will be available in both English and Spanish in boxes at the church entrances.

New Building & Maintenance Fund
Envelope Collection February 22nd
In your envelope packs beginning this
month you will see a blue envelope for Building &
Maintenance Fund. We will have a second collection
on the 4th Sunday of each month. This will be used
for the upkeep of our aging buildings that need many
repairs, and also for special projects and improvements that we will announce. The collection is much
needed to help offset our church’s growing financial
deficit and keep our parish financially strong. This
collection’s first project will be the re-tiling of the
church side entrance terrazzo flooring that has been
worn down and etched away from the salt. We are
going to replace it with rubber tile.
Thank you for your support!

My God,
I am sorry for my sins
with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong
and failing to do good
I have sinned against you,
whom I should love
above all things.
I firmly intend with your help
to do penance,
to sin no more and to avoid
whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ
suffered and died for us.
In his name,
my God, have mercy.
Dios mio,
Me arrepiento de todo corazón de
todo lo malo que he hecho y de lo
bueno que he dejado de hacer;
porque pecando te he ofendido a ti,
que eres el sumo bien y digno de ser
amado sobre todas las cosas.
Propongo firmemente,
con tu gracia, cumplir la penitencia,
no volver a pecar y evitar las
ocasiones de pecado.
Perdóname, Señor, por los méritos
de la Pasión de nuestro
Salvador Jesucristo. Amen.

hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:
Q ueridos
Este es el último domingo en esta primera parte del Tiempo Ordinario. Cuaresma comienza
este miércoles con la distribución de la ceniza. Aquí están algunas cosas que necesitamos tener en
mente.

La distribución de la ceniza nos recuerda nuestra mortalidad y el llamado al arrepentimiento. En los primeros años de la Iglesia, el miércoles de ceniza era el día en el cual aquellos que habían pecado, y quienes deseaban ser readmitidos a la Iglesia, empezarían su penitencia pública.
Las cenizas que recibimos son un recordatorio de nuestros propios pecados y muchos católicos la
dejan en sus frentes todo el día como signo de humildad.
Este año para el miércoles de ceniza tendremos en el Sagrado Corazón el siguiente horario:
8:00 am – Misa Regular
10:00 am – Misa con la Escuela
1:00 pm – 5:00 pm – DISTRIBUCION DE LA CENIZA
6:30 pm – Misa Vespertina
8:00 pm – Misa en ESPAÑOL

Durante el tiempo de CUARESMA estamos llamados a observar:
ABSTINENCIA de carne debe ser observada por todo católico 14 años en adelante el miércoles de Ceniza y
todos los Viernes de Cuaresma.
AYUNO debe ser observado el miércoles de ceniza por todos los católicos que tengan de 18 años hasta los
59. Todos quienes estén en este rango de edad deberán tomar solamente UNA comida completa al día.
Dos comidas pequeñas están permitidas para mantener las fuerzas dependiendo de la necesidad, pero
comer alimentos sólidos entre comidas NO están permitido.
El ayuno especial de Pascua, así como la abstinencia, están pre-escritos también para el Viernes Santo y el
Sábado Santo.

El ayuno y la abstinencia no son solo formas de penitencia, si no que nos ayudan a fortalecer nuestra vida espiritual. Al empezar la Cuaresma, debemos de tener metas espirituales específicas que nos gustaría alcanzar antes de
Pascua y decidir cómo alcanzarlas, por ejemplo, el asistir a misa diaria cuando sea posible y recibir el sacramento de
la confesión más seguido.
Paz y bien,
Fr. Francisco Ortega
