Pope Francis, himself, asked Catholics around the world to participate in programs like CRS Rice Bowl to do exactly that: to build a culture of encounter! In his 2017 Lenten message, he says: “Lent is a favorable season for opening the doors to all those in need and recognizing in them the face of Christ. Each of us meets people like this every day. Each life that we encounter is a gift deserving acceptance, respect and love. The word of God helps us to open our eyes to welcome and love life, especially when it is weak and vulnerable... Lent is a favorable season for renewing our encounter with Christ, living in his word, in the sacraments and in our neighbor. The Lord who overcame the deceptions of the Tempter during the 40 days in the desert, shows us the path we must take. May the Holy Spirit lead us on a true journey of conversion, so that we can rediscover the gift of God's word, be purified of the sin that blinds us and serve Christ present in our brothers and sisters in need... I encourage all the faithful to express this spiritual renewal also by sharing in the Lenten Campaigns promoted by many Church organizations in different parts of the world, and thus to favor the culture of encounter in our one human family... Let us pray for one another so that, by sharing in the victory of Christ, we may open our doors to the weak and poor. Then we will be able to experience and share to the fullest, the joy of Easter!” ~Pope Francis
RICE BOWL BOXES WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE VESTIBULES OF BOTH OLPH AND ST PHILIP BENIZI

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE LENT SPECIAL THIS
YEAR? IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO SIGN UP FOR THE SMALL
GROUP FAITH SHARING GROUPS… the program is in both Eng-
lish and Spanish and sign up sheets are in the vestibules of both
OLPH and St Philip Benizi. The small groups gather weekly for six
sessions to share their personal experiences of Jesus Christ and grow
together in their faith and pray. Check it out and sign up...THE
JOURNEY/EL CAMINO ...Part I explores Jesus and his way of life:
You view Jesus through Mary's experience ~ her openness to God.
The experience of the women who suffered for years from hemor-
rhages and finally sought healing from Jesus sheds light on our own
need for healing . Friends brought a paralyzed man to Jesus for heal-
ing, but Jesus changes the focus of healing to forgiveness and ex-
plores the mercy of God. When Jesus meets the Samaritan women,
she opens her heart to him ~ and this helps us to see that we should
trust him. Philip the Apostle helps us to see that every act of Jesus is
really showing us what God is like ~ thus we can explore our own
sense of God. The Centurion, who stood at the foot of the cross as
Jesus is dying, gives us insight into the ways salvation comes into
our lives, even in the midst of crisis. Part 2 (My Encounter with the
Community of Jesus) will be offered in the fall ~ and explores Jesus
and his community.

GRUPOS DE COMPARTIR DE LA FE DE GRUPOS PEQUEÑOS ...
estos están en inglés y español y las hojas de inscripción están en los portales

Pequeños grupos se reúnen semanalmente durante seis sesiones para com-
partir sus experiencias personales de Jesucristo, crecer juntos en su fe y orar.
Compruébelo y regístrese ...
EL VIAJE / EL CAMINO ...
Hay seis sesiones en la Parte 1 de The Journey / El Camino que exploran a
Jesús y su forma de vida:
Jesús, el Hijo de María - esta sesión nos lleva a la experiencia de María.
¿Qué puede decir esto acerca de nuestra propia apertura a Dios?
Jesús el Sanador - esta sesión presenta a la mujer que sufrió de hemorragias
durante años y finalmente buscó la curación de Jesús. Esclarece nuestra
necesidad de curación.
Jesús el Misericordioso - esta sesión habla del hombre paralizado traído a
Jesús por sus amigos para la curación. Pero Jesús cambia el enfoque al
perdón. Explora la misericordia de Dios.
Jesús, el Dador de la Gracia - esta sesión muestra el encuentro de Jesús con
la mujer samaritana y cómo ella le abrió su corazón. Nos ayuda a ver la con-
fianza que debemos tener en Cristo.
Jesús, Hijo del Padre - Felipe el Apóstol nos ayuda a ver que cada acto de
Jesús realmente nos está mostrando cómo es Dios. Exploramos nuestro pro-
pio sentido de Dios en esta sesión.
Jesús el Salvador - el centurión presente en la cruz cuando Jesús muere nos
da una idea de las formas en que la salvación entra en nuestras vidas, a
menudo por la percepción y la libertad, incluso en medio de la crisis.
Parte 2 (Mi Encuentro con la Comunidad de Jesús) se ofr ecerá en el
otoño ~ y explorar a Jesús y su comunidad.
The Eucharist is: Jesus truly present - Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity! At the moment of Consecration, during the Mass, the "gifts" of bread and
wine are transformed (transubstantiated) into the actual Body and Blood of
Christ, at the Altar. This means that they are not only spiritually
transformed, but rather are actually (substantially) transformed into the Body
and Blood of Christ. The elements retain the appearance of bread and wine,
but are indeed the actual Body and Blood of Christ. This is what is meant by
Real Presence: the actual, physical presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Christ
instituted this Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist in order to remain with
mankind until the end of time (Jn. 14:18). Pope John Paul II in one of his
homilies said, “It is pleasant to spend time with Him, to lie close to His
breast like the Beloved Disciple (cf. Jn 13:25) and to feel the infinite love
present in His heart ... If, in our time Christians must be distinguished by the
“art of prayer”, how can we not feel a renewed need to spend time in
spiritual conversation, in silent adoration, in heartfelt love before Christ
present in the Most Holy Sacrament?”
El Santísimo Sacramento es: Jesús realmente presente - Cuerpo,
Sangre, Alma y Divinidad! En el momento de la Consagración, durante la
Misa, las ofrendas de pan y vino son transformadas en el Cuerpo y la Sangre
de Cristo (transubstanciación). Esto quiere decir que no solo son
transformadas espiritualmente, sino realmente transformadas (en su
substancia) en el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Los elementos mantienen su
apariencia de pan y vino, pero son verdaderamente el Cuerpo y la Sangre de
nuestro Señor. Cristo instituyó el Santo Sacramento de la Eucaristía para
permanecer con la humanidad hasta el final de los tiempos (Jn. 14,18). El
Papa Juan Pablo II en una de sus homilías dijo, “Es muy especial el pasar
tiempo con El, recostándose en su pecho como el discípulo amado (Jn 13,25)
y sentir el amor infinito de su corazón… Si en nuestros tiempos los
Cristianos debemos de distinguirnos en el “arte de la oración”, ¿como no
sentir una necesidad renovada de pasar tiempo en conversación espiritual, en
adoración silenciosa, en amor completo frente a Cristo presente en el
Santísimo Sacramento?

LENT IS HERE...ASH WEDNESDAY IS THIS WEEK... fasting and
abstinence regulations: All Catholics 14 years and older must abstain (not
eat) from meat on the Fridays of Lent, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
All Catholics between ages 18 and 59, are to fast on Ash Wednesday and
Good Friday. To fast means to eat only one full meal. Two smaller meals
may also be taken for good heath but together they should not equal a full
meal. Eating between meals is not permitted; however, liquids including
coffee, tea, milk and fruit juices are allowed. Those with chronic illness or
other severe health issues and pregnant women are exempt from this
regulation.
HOW TO FAST DURING LENT … Fast from judging others, apparent
darkness, pessimism, dwelling on illness, words that pollute, anger, worry,
unrelenting pressures, negatives, complaining, hostility, bitterness, anxiety
and self centeredness. Feast on Christ dwelling in others, the reality of light,
optimism, God's healing power, phrases that purify, patience, Divine
providence, unceasing prayer, positives, appreciation, tolerance and peace,
forgiveness, hope and a silent loving heart.
