Bp. Barron's Lent Reflections

Friends, in today’s Gospel people ask Jesus why his disciples do not fast. He says that as wedding guests they will not fast while he, the Bridegroom, is with them. But “the days will come,” he says...

Stations of the Cross
Every Friday during Lent (with the exception of Good Friday) there will be Stations of the Cross
at 5:30 pm. This is a wonderful way to make your Lenten journey more meaningful. Thank
you for journeying with Our Lord on His Way to the Cross.
Lenten Boxes
The Diocesan Ashes to Easter Lenten Mission Campaign began on Ash Wednesday,
February 26th. We invite each family to take a mission box home in support of the missionary
works of the Diocese of Austin. There are many lonely boxes needing a home. Take one home
today. They can be found in the entrance to church.
Friday Lenten Suppers
Lenten Suppers will be provided after Stations of the Cross by WWICS volunteers on March 6,
13, 20, and April 3. This Friday, March 6th we will be serving soups and bread. A sign up sheet
is on both sides of the entrance. If you can contribute soup or bread, please indicate on the
sign up sheet, as well as how many are attending. . You do not have to contribute to attend the
supper. All are welcome.
First Saturday Socials
During Lent there will be no First Saturday Socials. First Sunday Donuts, sponsored by the
Knights of Columbus, will take place next Sunday, March 8th after the 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
Masses. All are welcome.
Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years old and older on Ash
Wednesday and on all the Fridays of Lent.
Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but
not yet 59. Those who are bound by this may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are
permitted if necessary to maintain strength.
Lenten Program
As Catholics, we believe that one of the primary means by which God reveals Himself to us is
through scripture. Thus, we have selected a program called “God’s Story in Human Words:
Traveling Deeper into Scripture” to aid us this Lent in our efforts to come to know God more
fully. This program is designed to be used in small groups (up to 8 individuals) in a home
setting. It has five sessions (1 for each week of Lent), with each session utilizing a set of
“sharing questions” to aid reflection on and discussion of the previous Sunday’s scriptures.
If you would be interested in participating in this program, sign–up sheets will be available in
Hecker Hall this weekend and next. A copy of a guide booklet will then be provided to each
group by Ash Wednesday to facilitate their sessions, which would begin the following week.
For more information contact Lowell Crable or Fr. Ruben.
Reconciliation Service
There will be a Reconciliation Service on Thursday, March 26th at 5:30 p.m. at St. Paul the
Apostle Church. After a short service, there will be an opportunity for individual confessions

HEB/Bayside cards will be available after Masses this weekend and at the church office during

A Word from Servant of God Isaac Hecker, Founder of the Paulist Fathers
A Word from Servant of God Isaac Hecker, Founder of the Paulist Fathers
“I feel very cheerful and at ease in perfect peace since I have consented to join the Catholic Church. Never have I felt the quietness, the immovableness, and the permanent rest that I now feel. It is inexpressible. I feel that essential and interior permanence which nothing exterior can disturb and that no act that it calls upon me to perform will least cause me to be moved by it. “
If you have asked Father Hecker to pray for you or another person who is ill, and you believe something miraculous has happened, please phone Father Paul Robichaud, CSP, at 202-269-2519 and tell him your story.
