Even though the obligation to at- tend Mass in person is temporarily suspended, Catholics (ages 14 & older) are still required to observe meatless Fridays during Lent, and also on Ash Wednesday & Good Friday, (ages 18-59) fasting. “For members of the Roman Catholic , fasting and abstinence are observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. Abstinence from meat is observed on these days as well as on all Fridays in Lent.” (USCCB) Parish Staff & Information Stewardship

Small Group Reflection Announcing: Totus Tuus! Save these dates: July 18 – 23 Palm Sunday Totus Tuus ( for Totally Yours) is a fun and energetic parish-based summer catechetical program, for both 50:4-7; Psalm 22; grade school age children and junior & senior high school Philippians 2:6-11; Mark 14:1-15 youth. This program is led by trained college students and seminarians who are credible witnesses to Jesus Christ and his Church. St. Gabriel the Archangel parish is collaborat- ing with Immaculate Heart of Mary parish to offer this Holy Week is a unique time in the church calendar where transformative event. Watch for details coming soon. we are suddenly walking minute by minute with Jesus as he goes through his Passion, Death, and Resurrection. Starting today with Palm Sunday, we enter into Jesus’s life in “real time.” The way God works in time during this week can really help us to enter into friendship with Jesus as we walk with him in his sufferings. In Isaiah the people understand themselves as a nation struggling to be faithful to God as they endured the many trials and afflictions that accompanied exile. First, the Servant explains how the Lord has given him “the tongue of those who are taught,” that is he is able to speak words of spiritual encouragement to those who are worn out. He receives this word because he listens to the Lord every morning. Our Psalm reminds us “But you, O Lord, be not far from me; O my help, hasten to aid me.” Paul in Philippians defines Jesus’s story as “V-shaped”; he begins in glory, descends to humiliation and then ascends back to glory. This is a great mystery of our Faith. Jesus “emptied himself” and became fully human while remaining fully God, becoming truly one of us in order that he might save us. Ultimately, Jesus’s act of self-emptying leads to his glorification over all. This reading from Mark on Palm Sunday is one of the longest readings of the entire . It is meant to be a powerful and transformative experience that helps us to walk with Jesus in his suffering. As we stand in awe before the powerful love of our Savior. We rejoice because our King is coming, but weep for what he must endure for our sake. What are the ways that the Lord has been acting in your life during this Lent? Are there any ways that you think the Lord is calling you to live your life differently during this time? How can we look to him throughout this week and grow The in a Year in deeper friendship with him?
