THE WISDOM OF
POPE JOHN PAUL II
 

Lent is thus a providential opportunity for fostering the spiritual detachment from riches necessary if we are to open ourselves to God.  As Christians, we must direct our entire lives to Him, for we know that this world we have no fixed abode: “our commonwealth is in heaven” (Phil.3:20).  At the end of Lent, the celebration of the Paschal Mystery shows how the Lenten journey of purification culminates in the free and loving gift of self to the Father. It is by taking this path that Christ’s disciples learn how to rise above themselves and their selfish interests in order to encounter in love their brothers and sisters. 

MESSAGE FOR LENT, 1996

ST. ANNE CHURCH,
FRENCH VILLAGE, MO.

As Archbishop Burke was leaving our parish after the 10:00a.m. Mass he acknowledged the friendliness and the beauty of both St. Anne and St. Joseph. Most important, he once again complemented this wonderful choir.  We have a dedicated and extraordinary choir.  However, we are still looking for a couple of alto’s and soprano’s to complete our choir.  There are many of you sitting in the pews with beautiful voices that would make a welcome addition. Make the move upstairs to the “Choir Loft” and lift your voice to God! 

Don’t forget to come downstairs after the 4:00p.m. Mass today for a delicious CHILI  and  SOUP  supper.  We will be serving until 6:30p.m.  Dinner includes, chili, soup, hot dogs, dessert and drinks for only $5.00 for adults and $2.50 for children under 10.  

Our SPRING RUMMAGE SALE is planned for March 25, 2006 in the Church Hall.  For further details or for pickup of items, please call Paula Pace at 358-5333 or Claudine at 358-7516.

 

ARCHDIOCESAN LENTEN REGULATIONS 

Then to all Christ said, “Whoever wishes to be my follower must deny his very self, take up his cross each day, and follow in my steps.”

                                                        (Lk9:23)

The Church has always helped us fulfill these words of Jesus by prescribing very definite penance for all Catholics.  Accordingly, the Pope and the American bishops have outlined obligatory fast and abstinence as follows: Ash Wednesday (March 1st.) and Good Friday (April 14th.) are days of abstinence for all Catholics over the age of 14. 

On these two days, fast as well as abstinence is also obligatory for those from the ages of 18 to 59. Abstinence means abstinence from meat.  Fast means one full meal a day, with two smaller meals and nothing between meals (liquids are permitted).  No Catholic will lightly excuse himself or herself from this obligation. 

All other Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence from meat.  Here again Catholics will not hold themselves lightly excused, but if there is a serious health problem, this obligation would not apply.  We should strive to make all days of Lent a time of prayer and penance.

 

SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION 

Next school year, starting in September, we are in need of one or two teachers to handle the Confirmation preparation class.  This is a special preparation of all our young people whom will be receiving the sacrament of Confirmation in the spring.  We do this preparation every three years and this is our time.  Someone has always come forward in the past and I am trusting in your generosity to come forward and help prepare our children in this most important sacrament.  I will be waiting for your response.

 Second Fish Fry of this Lenten season will be March 10th.   beginning at 4:00p.m. to 7:00p.m.  at the Knights of Columbus Hall.  Adults $7.00- Children twelve and under $3.00.  Carry-outs available. 

This weekend we will have a second collection for the NATIONAL BLACK AND INDIAN MISSIONS.  The annual collection was authorized by the Catholic Church in our nation in 1884 and has served the Black and Native American communities ever since- without interruption.

 

Churches and schools which have received evangelization grants each year from the Black and Indian Mission Collection and were destroyed by the hurricanes are determined to begin again their work of the new evangelization.  For example, the very active Catholic Native American community of Du Lac, Louisiana, suffered terrible destruction and is committed to return to its apostolic life. 

As always your generosity is appreciated.
