The ashes were made from burning the palms blessed on the previous Palm Sunday. We had waved palms in praise of Christ at the beginning of Holy Week, and now we must call to mind humbly that we have failed him many times since then. Centuries ago it was the custom at the beginning of Lent to sprinkle ashes on public sinners as they came to the church in repentance. Now we acknowledge publicly that we are sinners and in need of repentance. Carrying the ashes on our foreheads indicates our willingness to do penance for our sins. The words used as the ashes are placed provide a timely reflection: “Remember that you are dust and to dust you will return.” or “Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel.” Ashes will be distributed at Mass on February 18th, Ash Wednesday, at 8:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Ashes will be distributed on Ash Wednesday at Sky View, Villa Maria and Southgate, and to as many shut-ins as possible. Fast and Abstinence Regulations 1. Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent and Good Friday. 2. Everyone 18 years of age and under 60 years of age is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. 3. On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, only one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. 4. Catholics should not lightly excuse themselves from these prescribed minimal penitential practices. Lent runs from Ash Wednesday until the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday. Operation Rice Bowl In 1975, Catholic Relief Services founded Operation Rice Bowl. This Lenten program invites people to place a cardboard container (given out in parishes) in their homes, and put in it the money that’s saved because of their fasting and the things they give up for Lent. Why a ricebowl? As a reminder that two-thirds of the world’s inhabitants live on half-a-bowl of rice each day. Pax et Bonum Peace and All Good Fr.

We thank the Daughters of Isabella for their generous financial donation along with Joseph Kryzewski, M/M Daniel Lucas, of Marquette, MI and a former St. Mary’s parishioner for their financial donations.

It is a time for Christians to embrace prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in a more concerted way. For some it is a time of healing, an opportunity to repair their spiritual brokenness. For others it is simply a good time to cultivate their spiritual lives in a more disciplined manner. The goal of Lenten practices is to prepare ourselves to enter into the paschal mystery of Holy Week with a more humble spirit and determination to follow Jesus Christ.
