SAINT AUGUSTINE’S ARISH ENTRE P C Our Two Function Suites Available For T HE P ARISH OF S AINT A UGUSTINE C OATBRIDGE ! S COTLAND 1892 - 2017 S IXTH S UNDAY OF O RDINARY T IME 11 F EBRUARY 2018 P REPARING FOR THE L ENTEN J OURNEY Lent, the forty days before Easter (not counting Sundays), is a somewhat curious period in the Church’s calendar. Most things in the Church’s year are festivals and we happily talk about celebrating them. Lent is very different: it is a minor-key period which is never ‘celebrated’ but only ‘kept’. Some Christians treat Lent very seriously, while others ignore it entirely. Even among those who keep Lent, there is no agreement on how it should be kept. Many Christians try to give up Masses for Ash Wednesday something: for instance, chocolate, alcohol, meat on Fridays, Wednesday 14th February Facebook or television. It’s even become a period for us to try to break bad habits, almost as if Lent gives us another 10am & 7pm opportunity to retake those New Year’s resolutions! So what exactly is Lent about? One word used by those who observe Lent is ‘preparation’. Lent is a preparation for Easter. Easter, with its message of Christ destroying sin and death through his death and resurrection, is the most exciting moment in the Church’s year. Yet we can undercut this note of victory by being so occupied that, amid the frantic activity of our lives, we carelessly stumble upon Easter. Lent provides us with forty days’ build-up to Good Friday and Easter Sunday that forces us to prayerfully ponder the death and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. As the best way to appreciate a sunrise is to be there in the darkness before dawn, so the only way to appreciate Easter is to have come to it through the sombre and penitential season of Lent. Please make every effort to support the extra Lenten services here at St. Augustine’s, especially the extra 8.00am Morning Mass. Details of additional services are printed on the inside page. ANNUAL SCIAF ‘WEE BOX’ APPEAL Please remember to pick-up your Lenten SCIAF pack as you leave Church this weekend. This pack includes your ‘wee box’. You are invited to return this at the end of Lent.

The Appeal is being organized by Primary 6 Confirmation candidates as a sign of their practical witness to their faith. It is also a powerful way to live-out our Lenten commitment to almsgiving. The young people of P.6 are inviting everyone in the school and parish to put together a backpack filled with goodies for needy children living oversees in poverty. These simple backpacks enable impoverished children to go to school equipped with the basic necessities for learning. It is our hope that every family in the community will take part in the project. If you can help please fill an old backpack and drop it off at the Church or Parish House by Sunday 25th February. It is not necessary to fill the backpack with all the suggested items – just as much as you are able. Below you will find useful suggestions to help you. SUGGESTED ITEMS: Backpack / school bag / exercise book / notepad / pencils / pens crayons / ruler / sharpener / pencil case / towel / soap / shorts t-shirt / dress / sandals / small ball / spoon / toothbrush toothpaste ASH WEDNESDAY – 14th FEBRUARY 2018 Masses / Services for Ash Wednesday: 10.00am Parish Mass 7.00pm Parish Mass Please note that Ash Wednesday this year falls on a school in-service day. Therefore parents are reminded to bring their children to one of the above parish Masses. Ash Wednesday is also a Day of fast & Abstinence, requiring Catholics to abstain from meat. (Read below for more information). Days of Fast & Abstinence Catholics abstain from flesh meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and the Fridays in Lent. Abstinence is one of our oldest Christian traditions. From the first century, the day of the crucifixion has been traditionally observed as a day of abstaining from flesh meat (‘black fast’) to honour Christ who sacrificed his flesh on a Friday. Fasting on Ash Wednesday & Good Friday entails reducing our food intake to 1 main meal + 2 collations (small snacks) as a small sacrifice. The Law of the Church Up until 1966, church law prohibited meat on all Fridays throughout the entire year. The new law of the Church was set-out in 1983 in the revised Code of Canon Law, which states: “Abstinence [is] to be observed on Ash Wednesday and on the Friday of the Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Canon 1251). “All persons who have completed their fourteenth year are bound by the law of abstinence” (Canon 1252). It is the long-established custom of the Catholic Church to extend this law to include all Fridays in Lent. Since Jesus sacrificed his flesh for us on Good Friday, we refrain from eating flesh meat in his honour on Fridays. Flesh meat included the meat of mammals and poultry, and the main foods that come under this heading are beef and pork, chicken and turkey. While flesh is prohibited, the non-flesh products of these animals are not (like milk, cheese, butter and eggs). Fish do not belong to the flesh meat category. In former times, flesh meat was more expensive, eaten only occasionally and associated with feasting and rejoicing; whereas fish was cheap, eaten more often and not associated with celebrations. Abstinence is a form of penance. Penance expresses sorrow and contrition for our wrongdoing, indicates our intention to turn away from sin and turn back to God, and makes reparation for our sins. It helps to cancel the debt and pay the penalties incurred by our transgressions. Abstinence is a form of asceticism, the practice of self-denial to grow in holiness. Jesus asks his disciples to deny themselves and take up their cross (Matthew 16:24). Abstinence is a sober way to practice simplicity and austerity, to deny the cravings of our bodies to honour Jesus who practiced the ultimate form of self-denial when he gave his body for us on the cross. Thus, to give up flesh meat on Fridays, only to feast on lobster tail or Alaskan king crab, is to defeat the ascetical purpose of abstinence. Less is more! Those who are excused from fast or abstinence. Those who exceed 65 years are exempt. So too are the following groups: young children, those of unsound mind, the sick, the frail, pregnant or nursing women according to need for meat or nourishment, manual labourers 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.

ANDRII CHORNENKYI УКРАЇНСЬКА КАТОЛИЦЬКА ЦЕРКВА ПАРАФІЯ ВОЗДВИЖЕННЯ ЧЕСНОГО ХРЕСТА PARISH BULLETIN № 7. FEBRUARY 21, 2016 A.D. THE SECOND SUNDAY OF THE GREAT FAST SUNDAY OF ST. GREGORY PALAMAS On the 2nd Sunday of Great Lent, the Church opens before us the well-known page of the Holy Gospel about the cure of a paralytic man, who was brought to Christ by his four friends. This is a good example for the fast. The example, that only together people can be saved, supporting each other, loving, believing, helping and then God will help each of us. Because as He himself gets us out from the depth of sin, so He wants us to help each other. Sometimes we can’t help by outward works, but we can help by inner ones, to help by a prayer. Every day prayer for each other, relatives, friends and even for enemies must be pronounced with such persistence and love as those people, carrying a paralytic man, tried to get into the house where Christ was. On the 2nd Sunday of the Great Fast the Church commemorates Saint Gregory Palamas. It was St. Gregory who bore living witness that men can become divine through the grace of Lord in the Holy Spirit; and that even in this life, by prayer and fasting, human beings can become participants of the uncreated light of God’s divine glory. “Absence of passions and the possession of virtue constitute love for God; for hatred of evil, resulting in the absence of passions, introduces in its place the desire for and acquisition of spiritual blessings.

  • Lent Discipline and History
    LENT: DISCIPLINE AND HISTORY St. Peter Catholic Church Faith Fact March 2014 ISSUE: How did Lent arise? What is its current discipline, and what is its history? DISCUSSION: In 1741, a year after his election to the See of Peter, Pope Benedict XIV wrote eloquently on the importance of Lent: The observance of Lent is the very badge of the Christian warfare. By it we prove ourselves not to be enemies of the Cross of Christ. By it we avert the scourges of divine justice. By it we gain strength against the princes of darkness, for it shields us with heavenly help. Should mankind grow remiss in their observance of Lent, it would be a detriment to God’s glory, a disgrace to the Catholic religion, and a danger to Christian souls. Neither can it be doubted that such negligence would become the source of misery to the world, of public calamity, and of private woe.[1] At the beginning of His public life, Jesus was tempted for 40 days in the desert (Mt. 4:1–11; Mk. 1:12–13; Lk. 4:1–13). “By the solemn 40 days of Lent,” the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, “the Church unites herself each year to the mystery of Jesus in the desert.”[2] The Church has also officially set aside this time as a season of penance: The seasons and days of penance in the course of the liturgical year (Lent, and each Friday in memory of the death of the Lord) are intense moments of the Church’s penitential practice.

ANDRII CHORNENKYI УКРАЇНСЬКА КАТОЛИЦЬКА ЦЕРКВА ПАРАФІЯ ВОЗДВИЖЕННЯ ЧЕСНОГО ХРЕСТА PARISH BULLETIN № 8, FEBRUARY 28, 2016 A.D. THE THIRD SUNDAY OF THE GREAT FAST VENERATION OF THE HOLY CROSS On the 3rd Sunday of Lent we celebrate the veneration of the honorable and Life -Giving Cross. As we have “crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (Gal. 5:24), and will have mortified ourselves during these forty days of the Fast, the precious and life- giving Cross is now placed before us to refresh our souls and encourage us who may be filled with a sense of bitterness, resentment, and depression. The Cross reminds us of the Passion of our Lord, and by presenting to us His example, it encourages us to follow Him in struggle and sacrifice, being refreshed, assured, and comforted. In other words, we must experience what the Lord experienced during His Passion - being humiliated in a shameful manner. The Cross teaches us that through pain and suffering we shall see the fulfillment of our hopes: the heavenly inheritance and eternal glory. As they who walk on a long and hard way and are bowed down by fatigue find great relief and strengthening under the cool shade of a leafy tree, so do we find comfort, refreshment, and rejuvenation under the Life-giving Cross, which our Fathers “planted” on this Sunday. Thus, we are fortified and enabled to continue our Lenten journey with a light step, rested and encouraged.
