Join us for this opportunity to celebrate Eucharist during this Holy Season. Dear Parishioners, Today, I enjoyed having lunch with our students in our school cafeteria. During lunch, I was reminded by several of our students that they would really love to have a Snow Day soon! I remember my own grade school years, how I d wait for the announcement the evening before or early in the morning that school would be closed due to the snow! I can still recall the shouts of joy and laughter at that good news! There s nothing like an unexpected day off! Bring out the sleds! Get the hot chocolate and cookies ready! During these days of winter, I hope that we can all experience some time to take it easy. It can certainly be refreshing to have some down time. Yes, we can get a little caught up on some mail and phone calls. Perhaps we can also spend a little more time in prayer, or spend time lingering over a good meal, or doing some good reading, or taking a nap, or spending a little time on the treadmill, or finishing reading Christmas cards to be inspired by the blessing of good friends. In a way, a Snow Day can be a Sabbath. This is really the way God wants us to spend every Sunday! I always admire how seriously our Jewish neighbors take their Sabbath. Senator Joseph Lieberman has an inspiring book entitled: The Gift of Rest, proposing that obedience to the third of the Ten Commandments, Remember to keep holy the Lord s Day, needs a revival in our society. He reminds us that American history has always shown a deference to the Sabbath, realizing that a day spent with the Lord, our families, our friends, in rest, recreation, and reflection, is good for body, soul, and society. The other value that can be so obvious is that a Snow Day can bring us all together. It can be a wonderful gift from God, a time to savor family, friends, nature, beauty, art, song, food, good laughs, and good company. People express concern about travelers, about our neighbors, especially the sick and elderly, about our homeless, the hospitals, healthcare facilities and emergency workers. We are one in common concern! So, the next time we hear an announcement of a Snow Day we can be reminded of the value of being refreshed and renewed! A Snow Day can be a time to deepen, enjoy, and strengthen friendships and families. That s how we could be every Monday if we take the Sabbath seriously! God s blessings to you and your family!

What is Lent Lent is a 40 day season of repentance in anticipation of the Crucifixion of Christ on Good Friday. It is a time for us to grow in spiritual maturity, through acts of penance, prayer, almsgiving, abstinence, and fasting. This Lent, take time to go to Confession and participate in the Stations of the Cross. There are also many excellent Lenten reflection books available. Quiz? Do you know why Lent is forty days long?

5 A L R The Pope and the American Bishops have outlined obligatory fast and abstinence as follows: Ash Wednesday (February 18) and Good Friday (April 3) are days of abstinence for all Catholics over the age of 14. On these two days, fast as well as abstinence is also obligatory for those from the ages of Abstinence means refraining from meat. Fast means one full meal a day, with two smaller meals and nothing between meals (liquids are permitted). No Catholic will lightly excuse himself or herself from this obligation. All Fridays in Lent are days of abstinence from meat. Catholics should not hold themselves lightly excused, but if there is a serious health problem this obligation would not apply. We should strive to make all days of Lent a time of prayer and penance. Y P T D L 7:00.. H I M R Are you looking to improve your flexibility and tone or just want to relax?
