February 15, 2015 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time www.ssaparish.com 2015 Year of the Poor - Mercy and Compassion Forbes Park, Makati Pope Francis Lenten Message 2015 Here is the text of Pope Francis Lenten Message for 2015, which reflects on the theme: Make your hearts firm (James 5:8). Dear Brothers and Sisters, Lent is a time of renewal for the whole Church, for each communities and every believer. Above all it is a time of grace (2Cor 6:2). God does not ask of us anything that he himself has not first given us. We love because he first has loved us (1Jn 4:19). He is not aloof from us. Each one of us has a place in his heart. He knows us by name, he cares for us and he seeks us out whenever we turn away from him. He is interested in each of us; his love does not allow him to be indifferent to what happens to us. Usually, when we are healthy and comfortable, we forget about others (something God the Father never does): we are unconcerned with their problems, their sufferings and the injustices they endure Our heart grows cold. As long as I am relatively healthy and comfortable, I don t think about those less well off. Today, this selfish attitude of indifference has taken on global proportions, to the extent that we can speak of a globalization of indifference. It is a problem which we, as Christians, need to confront. A merciful heart does not mean a weak heart. would like to address in this message is precisely the globalization of indifference. Indifference to our neighbour and to God also represents a real temptation for us Christians. Each year during Lent we need to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry out and trouble our conscience. God is not indifferent to our world; he so loves it that he gave his Son for our salvation. In the Incarnation, in the earthly life, death, and resurrection of the Son of God, the gate between God and man, between heaven and earth, opens once for all. The Church is like the hand holding open this gate, thanks to her proclamation of God s word, her celebration of the sacraments and her witness of the faith which works through love (cf. Gal 5:6). But the world tends to withdraw into itself and shut that door through which God comes into the world and the world comes to him. Hence the hand, which is the Church, must never be surprised if it is rejected, crushed and wounded. God s people, then, need this interior renewal, lest we become indifferent and withdraw into ourselves. To further this renewal, I would like to propose for our reflection three biblical texts. When the people of God are converted to his love, they find answers to the questions that history continually raises. One of the most urgent challenges which I To be continued next week From the Vatican, 4 October 2014 Feast of St. Francis of Assisi
Parish Bulletin SUNDAY GOSPEL REFLECTION By Fr. Laurian Janicki, OFM Star light, star bright, The first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight. How many countless children have chanted this over the years? Some even take it quite seriously; even though they know that the wish probably won t come true. The same might be said for making a wish before blowing our birthday candles out. Wishes don t usually come true. Yet, all of us, young and old alike make wishes our whole life long. Maybe it s just a fun game. But, maybe, just maybe, once in a while a wish comes true. Some people wish for simple things of no consequence, maybe like a new toy and others wish for huge things of grave consequences perhaps like a tumor will be benign. In today s gospel, the leper s, If you wish to Jesus was more than a childhood chant. When the leper in the gospel says If you wish, we can imagine that he is implying more than that Jesus has a choice to heal or not. He is hoping against hope that his own wish to be clean would be fulfilled. Jesus has proven his power. Jesus was moved with pity. What moved Jesus to make the leper clean? Perhaps the leper s sorry condition. Perhaps the leper s isolation in being an outcast. Perhaps Jesus, inspite of Jesus command to tell no one anything. Jesus knew that the leper would not be able to keep the good news of his healing quiet. And yes, the leper publicizes the whole matter. In our terms, the leper proclaims the gospel. Perhaps Jesus healed the leper because he recognized one who would 2 be a disciple and spread the good news. Jesus wished that the leper be made clean. And so it was. He had the power to heal. But more important, he had the mercy and Jesus was announced to all by this leper outcast, who now had become a disciple. Jesus commands the leper to tell no one. The leper tells everyone. Jesus commissions to us is tell everyone the good news do we tell no one? The message of good news in believing who we are and what we do. A World larger than your heart. In John Drinkwater s play Abraham Lincoln, this exchange takes place between President Lincoln and a northern woman, an anti-confederate zealot. Lincoln tells her about the latest victory by northern forces the confederate army lost 2700 men while union forces lost 800. The woman is ecstatic, How splendid, Mr. President! Lincoln is stunned at her reaction. But madam, 3500 human lives were lost! Oh, you must not talk like that, Mr. President. There were only 800 that mattered. Lincoln s shoulders drop as he sways slowly and emotionally, Madam, the world is larger than your heart. Connection: Our attitudes and perceptions, our view of the world often reduces others to lepers those we fear, those who don t fit our image of sophistication and culture, those whose religion or race or identity or belief seem to threaten our own. We exile these lepers to the margins of society outside our gates. We reduce these lepers to simple labels and stereotypes. We reject these lepers as to be unclean to be part of our lives and our world. The Christ who heals lepers comes to perform a much greater miracle to heal us of our debilitating sense of self that fails to realize the sacredness and dignity of those we demean as lepers at our own gates. We can make them clean by transforming our own attitudes and perspective. We can make them clean by reaching out to them as God reaches out to us. We can make them clean by the simplest acts of kindness and respect. RANDOM THOUGHTS Voices from yesterday and today By: Peachy Maramba BL. FRA ANGELICO (Giovanni of Fiesole): Patron of Christian Artists 1395 1455 February 18 Fra Angelico was born in 1395 as Guido di Piero (or Guido da Vicchio) and lived in Tuscany, Italy during the fifteenth century. But in 1420 he entered the Dominican Order in Fiesole just outside Florence, Italy. As a friar his religious name was Fra Giovanni or Brother John of Fiesole. As a priest he was assigned several high positions such as being prior of the convent (1450 1452). But because he felt that his true religious vocation lay in painting he declined any further non-painting positions even that of being archbishop of Florence. turn to page 3 Editorial Team & General Information Marilou Consing Editor in Chief Jeannie Bitanga Assistant Editor/Website Administrator Jojo Avila Montenegro Art & Design Colorplus Production Group Corp.

Random Thoughts...from page 2 It is thanks to the generosity of the patronage of the Medicis that over the next fifteen years the convent of St. Dominic in San Marco was rebuilt and enlarged. This led to Fra Angelico s undertaking his unique work of painting almost all of the walls of the monastery. Fra Angelico mostly painted frescoes which are pictures painted directly on a wall that has been covered with wet plaster. These series of paintings in the Florentine monastery of San Marco which comprises the bulk of his work is one of his best works and where his fame rests. They have been preserved in their original setting. Nearly all of his frescoes in the monastery include Dominican Saints especially St. Dominic himself. So while his paintings and frescoes were stunningly beautiful featuring great technical virtuosity the goals of our extraordinary artist was not the aesthetic. Rather his intended purpose was to stir up in the onlooker: (1) Feelings of religious devotion. Fra Angelico used his style of narrative painting as visual sermons showing them what should be adored and the meaning of the beatitudes. Thus in one of his most famous fresco he painted St. Dominic adoring Christ on the Cross. (2) To appreciate nature. To show the people that nature was to be enjoyed rather than feared he introduced landscapes in his paintings. (3) To tell sacred stories. Fra Aneglico s favorite themes were: (1) Blessed Mother. His painting of Madonna and Child with a group of Saints became known as sacred conversation. (2) Annunciation. Fra Angelico painted several versions of this. (3) Crucifixion. To demonstrate the saintly attributes of the saints he painted the Crucifixion with Saints. (4) Transfiguration. His famous painting of the Transfiguration establishes the fact that Christ was the foremost prophet of Christianity. (Pope Eugenius successor). Asked to do a huge fresco cycle depicting the Last Judgement in Orvieto Cathedral he unfortunately never completed it as he was asked to return to Rome to start work in St. Peter s and in the pope s private study. Shortly after his death in 1453 this extraordinarily holy and gifted man was given the apt name of Fra Angelico or Angelic Brother as indeed he was. It was a tribute to both his angelic piety and artistic talents filling all his paintings with God s light and God s love. In 1982 Pope John Paul II not only beatified a painter known to the world today as Fra Angelico but also named him patron of all Christian painters. Truly this extraordinarily gifted holy painter was as AN INSPIRED SAINT! February 15, 2015 The ABC s of Catholic Doctrine by Lianne Tiu Pope Francis the birth control was surprised and methods they want, saddened that his including artificial words on responsible birth control drugs parenthood were and devices. misunderstood by some people. The concept of responsible parenthood appeared for the first time in the Vatican II document Gaudium et Spes, no. 50. Later, it was explained in depth by Blessed Paul VI (whom Pope Francis praised at Mall of Asia) in the Encyclical Humanae Vitae. The Philippine government, however, has distorted its meaning and introduced the phrase Responsible Parenthood in the title of the Reproductive Health (RH) bill. The main purpose of the bill is to enable couples to limit family size based on their means of livelihood by giving them the right to choose For Catholics, responsible parenthood means that when married couples engage in sex, they must be open to life. Should they decide to postpone or avoid birth for an indefinite time, there must be well-grounded reasons for choosing so. In spacing births, they may take advantage of the natural family planning methods - engaging in sex only during those times that are infertile. This will require dialogue, respect and self-control. The use of contraception, however, is immoral. In fact, the Church uses a very strong term, describing all forms of contraception as intrinsically evil. (CCC 2370) Contraception is every action that impedes the union of egg and sperm before, during, or after sexual intercourse. Examples are condom, spermicidal jelly, pill, ligation, vasectomy, and withdrawal. What really is Responsible Parenthood? Responsible parenthood is not to keep on having children. Rather, it means having more children if God sends them. Married couples need to be open to His will. Saying Yes to the possibility of children is actually saying Yes to God Himself, the author of sex, the Creator of life. As Blessed Mother Teresa said, The child is the beauty of God present in the world, the greatest gift to a family. (Reference: Faith Seeking Understanding Volume 2: Marriage and the Family by Fr.

Parish Bulletin Psalm 51 (A special Ash Wednesday and Lenten Penitential Psalm) Have mercy on me, O God, in Your kindness, in Your compassion blot out my offense. O wash me more and more from my guilt and cleanse me from my sin. My offenses truly I know them; my sin is always before me. Against you, you alone, have I sinned; what is evil in your sight I have done. That you may be justified when you give sentence and be without reproach when you judge. O see, in guilt I was born, a sinner was I conceived. (Excerpts from Coming Home to God, a homily for Ash Wednesday by Fr. Robert B. Manansala, OFM) Ashes are a symbol of repentance and cleansing in the Bible The imposition of ashes is not just a pious decoration so we can say we are abiding Catholics. No, it is a powerful, evocative and penitential symbol of our response to God s invitation to return to Him with all our hearts. What is seen in our foreheads should reflect the intentions and longings of our hearts, and the new behaviors and changes that we want to implement in our lives. The Rite of the Imposition of Ashes has a double meaning: the first meaning is about conversion and repentance. The first formula goes with the imposition of ashes elucidates this: Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel (Mk 1:15). Simply put, it exhorts us to turn away from our sinful ways and to turn to God and his ways. What are we planning to turn away from, to give up for the Lord during this season of Lent that starts with the celebration of Ash Wednesday? Are we giving up popcorn, chocolates or soft drinks? These questions and the items intended to be given up are 4 Feb. 18 is Ash Wednesday commendable. But the more important question is: What does God want to give us during this Season of Lent? The second meaning of the Rite of Imposition of Ashes is a reminder of our precarious human condition: From dust you came, unto dust you shall return (Gen 3:19). It is a reminder of our limitations, of our own death and end. As psalm 90 says, O Lord, teach us how short our life is so that we may become wise (Ps 90:12). We are reminded not only of our sinfulness but also of our death and finitude, so that we will start living well because we do not have the luxury of time. During the season of Lent, we are invited to make a forty-day spiritual journey, a time of spiritual retreat. We are called to make Lenten programs, to discern what God is offering and asking from us, and to resolve to do concrete practices and strategies to turn away from sin and to turn more and more to God and His ways. Coming Home to God, a homily for Ash Wednesday is just one of the many homilies Fr. Robert Manansala, OFM offers in his book Echoes of God s Love. The book is available at the parish book store for only P375. Proceeds go to the Our Lady of the Angels Library Renovation and Upgrade Project. Indeed you love truth in the heart; then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom. O purify me, then I shall be clean; O wash me, I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear rejoicing and gladness, that the bones you have crushed may revive. From my sins turn away your face and blot out all my guilt. A pure heart create for me, O God, put a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, nor deprive me of your Holy Spirit. Give me again the joy of your help; with a spirit of fervor sustain me, that I may teach transgressors your ways and sinners may return to you. O rescue me, God my helper, and my tongue shall ring out your goodness. O Lord, open my lips and my mouth shall declare your praise. For in sacrifice you take no delight; burnt offering from me you would refuse, my sacrifice, a contrite spirit. A humbled, contrite heart you will not spurn. In your goodness show favor to Zion: rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with lawful sacrifice, holocausts offered on your altar. Thanks to Fr. Robert Manansala, OFM for this insight.
February 15, 2015 A Celebration with the Marginalized This started in the late 80 s when a parishioner going out of the church after the midnight mass saw eight marginalized people loitering in the parish grounds. She invited them to join her family for the media noche at her village residence. That became a yearly tradition and the group grew bigger each year including disableds and even an ex-leper. They had to be fetched from the gate by her van to her residence. When this parishioner moved to a condo, the parish priest graciously offered the parish center for the venue. The past year, the group had grown to over a hundred. The celebration starts with a prayer and short catechetical instructions then topped with cash gift giving to all children and adults. So heartwarming and fulfilling to see the joy in their eyes, the smile and light in their faces and to hear the whispers of Salamat po, ipagdasal po naming kayo. This is Mercy and Compassion, the mission of Pope Francis. Submitted by Babing Abella Stations of the Cross Notice Stations of the Cross will start at 4:45 PM in the Main Church on every Friday of Lent. Ministries in Charge of Stations of the Cross: February 20 CWL February 27 OFS March 6 MSH/EMHC March 13 Marian Cenacle March 20 Lectors/Hospitals/JPIC March 27 YSA/Mother Butler Q: What does the word Lent mean? A: It is from the Anglo-Saxon word lengten, which means spring. [From Modern Catholic Dictionary by John Hardon, S.J.] Q: Who set up the 14 Stations of the Cross and why? When did this devotion begin? A: Since the first century, Christians have been making pilgrimages to the land where Jesus lived. St. Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, made a famous pilgrimage in the fourth century, trying to identify where Jesus was born, died and was buried. For a short time after 1099 when the crusaders captured Jerusalem and nearby territory, visiting these sites was easier. After the crusaders lost this territory in 1291, pilgrimages became much more dangerous and expensive. The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross, bring the Holy Land both to people unable to travel there and to those who have made that pilgrimage. Francis of Assisi had two great devotions: Jesus Incarnation and his passion, symbolized in the crib and the cross. The Franciscan friars popularized the Way of the Cross devotion, starting in the 14th century. People erected small stations inside churches and sometimes life-size ones outdoors. Soon, almost all churches had a Way of the Cross. A Franciscan wrote the Stabat Mater lyrics, often used during the Stations in the original Latin or in translation. The number of stations and the events commemorated have varied over the centuries. Pope Clement XII (1730-40) fixed the present number and list. Whether you pray the Stations alone or with a group of people in a parish church or outdoors, this devotion makes Jesus passion and death very real. LENT Q&A Q: Where did the law about not eating meat on Fridays originate? When was this changed to Ash Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent? A: Already in the fourth century, there was a Church law about abstinence (not eating meat on certain days). Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays were once days of abstinence in the Western Church. By the 12th century, this was required only on Ash Wednesday and on Fridays to remind Christians that Jesus died on this day. (Later, abstinence was added in connection with a few feasts.) The U.S. bishops decided in 1966 to require fasting and abstinence only on Ash Wednesday, the Fridays of Lent and on Good Friday. Earlier that year, Pope Paul VI allowed conferences of bishops to select days of fast and abstinence. Why abstain from meat? People like it and notice its absence. Christian fasting regulations once included milk and eggs. Fasting and abstaining show respect for God s creation by using it more sparingly at times. Q: Are chicken and fish considered meat? A: Chicken yes, fish no. The Catholic Church s abstinence laws consider that meat comes only from animals such as chickens, cattle or pigs-all of which live on land. Birds are also considered meat. Fish are a different category of animal. Q: What determines the date Easter Sunday falls on or when Lent begins? A: The Council of Nicaea, in 325 A.D., determined that Easter should be celebrated the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring. To determine the beginning of Lent, count back six Sundays before Easter. The Wednesday before the first of these Sundays is Ash Wednesday. From Americancatholic.org 5
