The 1983 revision of the Code of Canon Law incorporated the changes made by Pope Paul. Not long after that, the U.S. bishops applied the canonical requirements to the practice of public penance in our country. To sum up those requirements, Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. In addition, all Catholics 14 years old and older must abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all the Fridays of Lent. Fasting as explained by the U.S. bishops means partaking of only one full meal. Some food (not equaling another full meal) is permitted at breakfast and around midday or in the evening depending on when a person chooses to eat the main or full meal. Abstinence forbids the use of meat, but not of eggs, milk products or condiments made of animal fat. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LENTEN FAST Besides those outside the age limits, those of unsound mind, the sick, the frail, pregnant or nursing women according to need for meat or nourishment, manual laborers according to need, guests at a meal who cannot excuse themselves without giving great offense or causing enmity and other situations of moral or physical impossibility to observe the penitential discipline.

ADULT FAITH MINISTRY Program for Lent Lenten Nourishment Wednesdays: Feb. 17 through Mar. 16, 12:30-12:55pm Join us for a light lunch and spiritual talk on the patio next to church. We continue with the theme of mercy during the Year of Mercy. The Parables of Mercy Mondays: Feb. 22 through Mar. 15, 7-8:00pm Be merciful as the Father is merciful! How can we do that? By spending some time examining the parables of mercy in the Gospels, like the sinful woman, the Good Samaritan, and the Prodigal Son. We can find ways that Jesus calls us to share the mercy of God with the people we encounter in our daily lives. The sessions will include discussion and prayer time. Sessions held in the conference Room in parking garage. Scripture Study: The book of Revelation-Tuesdays, Feb. 23 through Mar. 8, 7-8:30pm Many people enjoyed Fr. Bill Burton s introduction to sacred scripture last fall. During Lent we will be using Fr. Bill s excellent DVD to uncover the complex themes of the fascinating and often confusing book of the bible, and discover what it really is calling us to live today in the 21st century. Sessions will include time for questions and discussion, Sessions held in the Ministry Room. Please sign up for any of the above programs by calling 561 630-0287 or email billpat@aol.com. ST. MARTIN MISSION The progress on the rebuilding of St. Martin is coming along nicely. Please see the photos of the progress on the poster at the entrance of the church. However, our commitment to St. Martin continues: we are committed to pay for teachers at the school on an ongoing basis, as well as general maintenance at the facility. We ask that you pray about how you may be able to help with this ongoing endeavor. In the words of Mother Theresa, We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

NOTICIAS EN ESPAÑOL HAITIAN/CREOLE PAGE 6 LECTURAS DE HOY Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma 21 de Febrero 2016 Primera lectura El Señor hizo una alianza con su siervo fiel Abram, diciendo: A tu descendencia daré esta tierra (Génesis 15:5-12, 17-18). Salmo El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación (Salmo 27 [26]). Segunda lectura Esperamos al Señor Jesús, quien nos cambiará para conformarnos con su cuerpo glorificado (Filipenses 3:17 4:1 [3:20 4:1]). Evangelio Pedro, Santiago y Juan presencian la transfiguración de Jesús en el monte (Lucas 9:28b-36).

LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY: SEREMOS TRANSFORMADOS La manifestación de la Gloria de Dios en el Evangelio de hoy está llena de una luz que a la vez asombra y revela. Jesús, transfigurado en el Monte Tabor, llena de su energía a los apóstoles adormecidos, que ven la visión, pero no la saben captar. Es perdonable que no capten del todo el significado de esta extraordinaria visión de Jesús transfigurado, entre Moisés y Elías. Aquí, en el monte santo, se resumen la Ley y los profetas. Hoy esa transfiguración se nos ofrece y se nos entrega. Como nos recuerda san Pablo, somos nosotros los que vamos a ser transformados. Hoy se nos presentan la luz y la vida de la Resurrección, para que no nos descorazonemos, no sea que nos quedemos del todo dormidos. Este domingo ya mira hacia la Pascua. Mira hacia la transformación. Nos pide que levantemos la cabeza, y reconozcamos al Señor Resucitado como nuestra luz y salvación.copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
