Our Charity Rummage Sale committee is badly in need of some donated storage space, preferably in reasonable proximity to Knights of Columbus east of downtown or to central Hot Springs. Because COVID has prevented our having a public sale since October of 2018, we consequently have collected donations far in excess of what we've been able to sell. In one sense, this is a very good problem to have, unfortunately we have run out of shelf space! Hopefully, the day will soon come when our twice-a-year sales can resume and we can serve more local charities. With decreased revenue, we are now able to serve only four food-related charities. We are always grateful for the many donations we receive and do not wish to discourage any of them. We simply need more storage space as we wait for the day that our Charity Rummage Sales can return to its former success. If you have such unused space and are willing to let us use it potentially a few months, please call Jim at 501-282-7027. St. John’s NEW CHURCH DIRECTORY ON YOUR MOBILE DE- VICE!

Is Ash Wednesday a holy day of obligation? A. Ash Wednesday is not a holy day of obligation. The days of obligation all celebrate an event in the life of Jesus or Mary or a person (or persons as in the case of All Saints Day). Ash Wednesday does not, but it marks the beginning of a season. The day is chosen based on the fact that it’s 40 days before Good Friday. It is, however, a day of fast and abstinence. Q. Why do we receive ashes on Ash Wednesday? A. The prayer that is said as ashes are given explains it very well. The words are a reminder of our origins, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” The ashes and the whole season of Lent are a time to refocus on our relationship with God and that relationship starts with a dependence on God for our very existence. To recall that only with the breath of God can we have life is motivation to reorder whatever part of life needs it. As God breathed life into the dust at the beginning he can breathe new life into those who have fallen into sin. The ashes are a sign of mortality and a sign of renewal in Christ. Q. What are the rules about fasting, abstinence? A. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. The law of fasting allows one full meal and two smaller ones. The law of abstinence prohibits the eating of meat. Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence in the United States. The obligation of abstinence begins at age 14. The law of fasting obliges all between the ages of 18-59. Pastors and parents are to see to it that minors, though not bound by the law of fast and abstinence, are educated in the au- thentic sense of penance and encouraged to do acts of penance suitable to their age. All members of the Christian faithful are encouraged to do acts of penance and charity beyond what is prescribed by the law. Q. Are Sundays part of Lent? A. Sundays most definitely are a part of Lent as they are listed the first through fifth Sundays of Lent, and not of some- thing else. The Sundays do, however, take on a different character than other days because Sunday is always a cele- bration of the resurrection. There is no rule on whether Lenten practices continue on Sundays since such practices are voluntary anyway. Without a doubt we should maintain our preparation for the Triduum on Sundays, whether or not that includes acts of penance. Q. Why should we perform acts of penance? A. The primary reason is that we take Christ as our model and he himself undertook acts of penance in preparation for his ministry and before his passion. Acts of penance are theological in following the example of the Master. They are also practical in helping to accomplish goals of certain days and seasons. In particular Lent is a season to reorder priori- ties and penance helps to be sure that created things are subordinate to divine realities in our lives. As it says in the Church’s documents “Penance is a religious, personal act which has as its aim love and surrender to God” (“Paenitemini” chapter 1).

    CTSA Proceedings 73 / 2018 MORAL THEOLOGY (I)—TOPIC SESSION Topic: Humanae Vitae, 50 Years Later Convener: Kent J. Lasnoski, Wyoming Catholic College Moderator: Kent J. Lasnoski, Wyoming Catholic College Presenters: Maria Morrow, Seton Hall University David Cloutier, Catholic University of America Karen Ross, Loyola University Chicago This well-attended session celebrated the 50th anniversary of Pope Paul VI’s profound, prophetic, and polemical encyclical Humanae vitae. The session featured two younger scholars (Maria Morrow and Karen Ross) with a historical and ethnographic approach, respectively, as well as a senior scholar, David Cloutier, who’s more experimental, theoretical essay provoked long discussion well-beyond the session’s close. The session opened with Maria Morrow’s “Living With (and Growing From) Bad Timing: Penance and Humanae vitae.” Going beyond the reception history traced by Tentler’s well-known Catholics and Contraception, Morrow investigates the relationship between an erosion of penitential culture among American Catholics and the near impossibility of Humanae vitae’s safe landing on the shores of American Catholic consciences. Her paper’s focus centers on the bad-timing of three documents: Humanae vitae itself, Paul VI’s Paenitemini, and the United States bishops’ Pastoral Letter on Fast and Abstinence. Humanae vitae shocked Catholics from pew to cathedra, most of which were expecting ecclesial concession to contraception due to tidal changes at the cultural level. Paenitemini and the United States episcopal letter, while attempting to renew and invigorate penitential life, making it more personal, effected exactly the opposite. Catholics felt justified not only in dropping mortifications but also in their flight from the confessional.

Johnson, Ph.D. Committee Member _______________________________________ Jana M. Bennett, Ph.D. Committee Member _______________________________________ William C. Mattison, III, Ph.D. Committee Member iii ABSTRACT THE VIRTUE OF PENANCE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1975 Name: Morrow, Maria Christina University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Sandra A. Yocum This dissertation examines the conception of sin and the practice of penance among Catholics in the United States from 1955 to 1975. It begins with a brief historical account of sin and penance in Christian history, indicating the long tradition of performing penitential acts in response to the identification of one’s self as a sinner. The dissertation then considers the Thomistic account of sin and the response of penance, which is understood both as a sacrament (which destroys the sin) and as a virtue (the acts of which constitute the matter of the sacrament but also extend to include non-sacramental acts). This serves to provide a framework for understanding the way Catholics in the United States identified sin and sought to amend for it by use of the sacrament of penance as well as non-sacramental penitential acts of the virtue of penance.

  • Teachings on the Need for Freely
    TEACHINGS ON THE NEED FOR FREELY CHOSEN PENITENTIAL PRACTICES IN LENT AND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ON FRIDAY The need for conversion and salvation is unchanging, as is the necessity that, confessing our sinfulness, we perform, personally and in community, acts of penance in pledge of our inward penitence and conversion. For these reasons, Christian peoples, members of a Church that is at once holy, penitent and always in process of renewal, have from the beginning observed seasons and days of penance. They have done so by community penitential observances as well as by personal acts of self-denial; they have imitated the example of the spotless Son of God Himself, concerning whom the Sacred Scriptures tell us that He went into the desert to fast and to pray for 40 days. Thus Christ gave the example to which Paul appealed in teaching us how we, too, must come to the mature measure of the fullness of Christ. ^ Of the many penitential seasons which at one time or another have entered the liturgical calendar of Christians (who on this point have preserved the holy tradition of their Hebrew spiritual ancestors), three have particularly survived to our times: Advent, Lent, and the vigils of certain feasts. Lent as principal season of penance Lent has had a different history than Advent among us. Beginning with the powerful lesson of Ash Wednesday, it has retained its ancient appeal to the penitential spirit of our people. It has also acquired elements of popular piety which we bishops would wish to encourage. Accordingly, while appealing for greater development of the understanding of the Lenten liturgy, as that of Advent, we hope that the observance of Lent as the principal season of penance in the Christian year will be intensified.

  • The Revision of Canon Law: Theological Implications Thomas J
    THE REVISION OF CANON LAW: THEOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS THOMAS J. GREEN The Catholic University of America HE SECOND Vatican Council profoundly desired to bring the Church Tup to date (aggiornamento) and make it a more vital instrument of God's saving presence in a rapidly changing world. Crucial to the revital- ization of the Church's mission was the reform of its institutional struc­ tures. Understandably, then, a significant aspect of postconciliar reform has been an unprecedented effort to reform canon law. Indeed, the time- honored relationship between total ecclesial renewal and canonical reform was recognized by Pope John XXIII in his calling for the revision of canon law as early as January 1959, when he announced the forthcoming Second Vatican Council.1 Two decades have elapsed since that initial call for canonical reform, and the process of revising the Code of Canon Law (henceforth Code) seems to have reached a critical stage. A consideration of some key moments in that process should help one gain a better perspective on the present status of canonical reform.2 The Pontifical Commission for the Revision of the Code of Canon Law (henceforth Code Commission) was established by John XXIII on March 20, 1963.3 However, it began to function only after the Council, since a principal aspect of its mandate was to reform the Code in light of conciliar principles. Only then could the Code be an instrument finely adapted to the Church's life and mission.4 On November 20, 1965 Pope Paul VI 1 See AAS 51 (1959) 65-69. See also J.

    February 19, 2018 1 REFLECTIONS ON LIFE: DOING LENTEN PENANCE CAN BE VERY RELATIVE There was a time from my late teens on that I dreaded lent and all it entailed. A strong, active young person who burned calories at a furious rate, especially from outside work, sports and other rough activities, the last thing on my mind was small portions of foods and drinks that supplied little fire to my body engine and barely any staying power to one who would walk away from a 2-hour baseball workout still hungering for more swings at the ball, and saddened to be leaving the field. Thus, Mardi Gras, and later Lundi Gras as well, were not happy times for me, despite the outrageously joyous music of musicians like Henry Roeland “Roy” Byrd, better known as Professor Longhair. Whistling, freewheeling his way up and down the ivory with a primal rhythm and beat, the Professor belted out his 1959 rendition of “Go To the Mardi Gras” with the joy, passion and the very soul of the New Orleans Mardi Gras. They were ambiguous times for me, because Lent was sure to follow. Ever-hungry, voracious youngster that I was, the old Lenten rules for fast and abstinence were complicated and burdensome. Imagine nowadays, except Sundays, having to fast every day of Lent plus the Ember Days (onetime 3 days of fast and abstinence at the beginning of the four seasons). A distant memory today, Ember Days are now completely optional. After Paenitemini, Pope Paul VI’s February 17, 1966 Apostolic Constitution, the fast consisted of one main meatless meal and two smaller meals whose quantity did not equal that of the main meal.

  • Days of Prayer, Annual Observances, Special Collections & Appeals
    Wednesday, 17 November 2010 Chapter V: Days of Prayer Chapter V: Days of Prayer, Annual Observances, Special Collections & Appeals Special Collections, Appeals, Particular Intentions in the Sunday Liturgy1 !Sundays are frequently marked by a special intention: World Mission Sunday, Respect Life Sunday, Catechetical Sunday, World Day of Peace, Mothers’/Fathers’ Day, Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, etc., and sometimes these observances include a special collection. It would not be difficult to multiply a list of special intentions like this such that practically every Sunday in the year had its own ‘worthy cause’. Many of the ministries or organizations within the Church or outside it are keen to promote their particular cause, and decide that the best and easiest way to get their message across is at the Sunday Mass when everyone is assembled. !However, Sunday Mass is not just ‘an opportunity for education’. The Church assembles for Eucharist on Sunday to celebrate something much more profound and fundamental than any particular theme or intention. To compromise what is essential about our Sunday assembly is to risk depriving ourselves of what is the source and summit of Christian life (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 10). On the other hand, the Sunday liturgy must not be divorced from daily life or from the work of the Church in the world. The joys and hopes, the grief and anguish of the people of our time, especially of those who are poor or afflicted, are the joys and hopes, the grief and anguish of the followers of Christ as well (Gaudium et Spes, 1). !This theme is taken up in our liturgical prayer: Keep your Church alert in faith to the signs of the times, and eager to accept the challenge of the gospel… (Eucharistic Prayer for Various Needs and Occasions).
