Gospel: Matthew 4:1-11 Friends do not use each other, but if he cannot make us deny God, Satan wishes us to use God, so we will not be friends with God.

2000 Hail Mary Devotion Wednesday, March 25, 2020
Mt. Carmel Church (lower Church) 23-25 Newtown Avenue, Astoria, N.Y. 11102
9 A.m. – 9 P.M.
Praying 2000 Hail Marys is a private devotion. It is a very powerful intercessory prayer. It is praying 2000 Hail Marys with our Blessed Mother to Our Lord Jesus Christ. You are invited to pray 2000 Hail Marys, asking our Blessed Mother for 3 personal favors. Combined with your faith and sincerity of heart, these are graces or intentions which our Mother Mary will intercede for you. All are welcome to pray this devotion with us
FROM THE OGLE OFFICE Dear friends: Since Lent is a time of conversion and reconciliation which both need regular reinforcement, the practice of devotions is important. Devotions include the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, novenas, daily devotionals of scripture, and occasional events such as First Fridays, First Saturday and the 2000 Hail Marys Day to be observed here on Wednesday March 25, the feast of the Annunciation. All these draw their strength from the celebration of the Eucharist itself, “the source and summit” of the Christian life, as Vatican II teaches. We encourage weekday Mass attendance as a Lenten practice for everyone. Our parish offers a schedule that includes Holy Mass from Monday to Friday at 8:00 AM and 12:00 Noon, (Saturdays only at 8 AM) as well as Spanish Mass every First Friday at 7:30 PM. Therefore I’d like to offer a little summary of parish practice and policy with regard to the celebration of Mass and Mass intentions: Private Masses (other than funerals): We often receive requests to celebrate a “private Mass” for a recently deceased family member, often in a foreign country. This is an understandable, noble and laudatory Catholic instinct. It is absolutely true that we are to pray for the dead. Practically speaking, however, it would be impossible to schedule private Masses for every close relative in a parish as large as ours, or in most other urban parishes. However, we do offer ways for addressing this valuable and necessary need that do not require a private Mass. These arrangements must all be made by calling the parish office. They are: Announced Mass Intention at one of our regularly scheduled Masses. You receive a Mass card for this Mass which you may present to the family of the deceased. These intentions fill up months in advance, but sometimes one may be available on short notice. Purgatorial Society: You may enroll your deceased loved one in the Parish Purgatorial Society. Mass will be offered for the enrolled faith-ful departed on the First Friday of each month at 8 AM for the period of a year (twelve First Friday Masses). There is no limit to the number of people who can be enrolled in the Purgatorial Society. The names of the newly-enrolled are published each week in the bulletin. You receive a Mass card for this Mass which you may present to the family of the deceased. Collective Mass Intention: Every parish in our Diocese may have one regularly scheduled Mass in English and one in another language, with several announced intentions. The Collective Mass intentions are published and announced in the same way as other announced Mass intentions. This option is available only for the Saturday 5 PM English Mass and the Sunday 12:30 Spanish Mass. You receive a Mass card for this Mass which you may present to the family of the deceased. Prayer of the Faithful: Each week we include a petition for the names of the currently ill or recently deceased of the parish or loved ones of the parishioners. You may ask to have your deceased loved one prayed for in the Prayer of the Faithful (also known as the “Universal Pray-er”) at all Masses for one weekend. The First Friday Spanish Mass at 7:30 PM is also available for this practice. May the Holy Season of Lent be a time of meaningful conversion and reconciliation for us all.
Msgr. Sean G. Ogle
DE LA OFICINA DEL PASTOR
Queridos amigos, Dado que la Cuaresma es un tiempo de conversión y reconciliación que necesitan un refuerzo regular, la práctica de las devociones es importante. Las devociones incluyen el Rosario, la Coronilla de la Divina Misericordia, las novenas, los grupos de oración, las devociones dia-rias de los estudios como “Porque” y eventos ocasionales como los primeros viernes, el primer sábado y el Día de las Avemarías del 2000 que se observarán aquí el miércoles, 25 de marzo, la fiesta de la Anunciación, y las devociones de Semana Santa. Todo esto saca su fuerza de la celebración de la Eucaristía misma, "la fuente y la cumbre" de la vida cristiana, como enseña el Vaticano II. Alentamos la asistencia a misa durante los días de semana como práctica de Cuaresma para todos. Nuestra parroquia ofrece un horario que incluye la Santa Misa de lunes a viernes a las 8:00 a.m. y a las 12:00 del mediodía (sábados solo a las 8 a.m.), así como la misa en español cada primer viernes a las 7:30 p.m. Por lo tanto, me gustaría ofrecer un pequeño resumen de la práctica y política de la parroquia con respecto a la celebración de misa y sus intenciones: Misas privadas (que no sean funerales): a menudo recibimos solicitudes para celebrar una "misa privada" para un familiar fallecido recien-temente, a menudo en un país extranjero. Este es un instinto católico comprensible, noble y elogioso. Es absolutamente cierto que debemos rezar por los muertos. En términos prácticos, sin embargo, sería imposible programar misas privadas para cada pariente cercano en una pa-rroquia tan grande como la nuestra, o en la mayoría de las otras parroquias urbanas. Sin embargo, ofrecemos formas de abordar esta valiosa y necesaria necesidad que no requiere una misa privada. Todos estos arreglos deben hacerse llamando a la oficina parroquial. Son: • La intención Anunciada de Santa Misa en una de nuestras misas programadas regularmente. Recibirá una tarjeta de La Misa para esta Misa que puede presentar a la familia del difunto. Estas intenciones se llenan con Santas Misas de anticipación, pero a veces una puede estar dis-ponible a corto plazo. • Sociedad Purgatorial: Puede inscribir a su ser querido fallecido en la Sociedad Purgatorial de la Parroquia. Se ofrecerá La Santa Misa para los fieles inscritos que partieron el primer viernes de cada mes a las 8 a.m. por el período de un año (doce misas del primer viernes). No hay límite para la cantidad de personas que pueden inscribirse en la Sociedad Purgatorial. Los nombres de los recién inscritos se publican cada semana en el boletín. Recibirá una tarjeta de misa para esta misa que puede presentar a la familia del difunto. • Intención Colectiva de Misas: Cada parroquia de nuestra diócesis puede tener una misa programada regularmente en inglés y otra en otro idioma, con varias intenciones anunciadas. Las intenciones de la Misa Colectiva se publican y anuncian de la misma manera que las intencio-nes habituales de las otras Misas anunciadas. Esta opción solo está disponible para la Misa inglesa de las 5 pm del sábado y la Misa española del domingo a las 12:30. Recibirá una tarjeta de Misa para esta Misa que puede presentar a la familia del difunto. • Recuerdo en la Oración de los Fieles (Oración Universal): Cada semana incluimos una petición para los nombres de los enfermos actuales o recientemente fallecidos de la parroquia o los seres queridos de los feligreses. Puede pedir que se haga rezar a su ser querido fallecido en la Oración de los Fieles en todas las Misas durante un fin de semana. El primer viernes de Misa en español a las 7:30 PM también está dispo-nible para esta práctica. Que la temporada santa de Cuaresma sea un tiempo de conversión y reconciliación significativas para todos nosotros.

English Baptism Instructions take place the Tuesday before the date of Baptism at Our Lady of Mount Carmel at 7:00pm. Parents and Godpar-ents baptizing their children at other parishes but taking the classes here must call to register for the class at least a week before the class. We remind parents and godparents to inform us if they will be unable to attend the pre-Baptismal class they registered for. Private baptisms are not celebrated unless the family has a priest or deacon friend who will perform the ceremony. If you have any questions please call the parish office. Las clases pre-bautismales toman lugar los martes antes del bautizo en Nuestra Señora del Monte Carmelo a las 6:00pm. En orden para que los padres y padrino puedan dar su atención completa a la clase pre-bautismal, les pedimos que no se traiga a niños a la instrucción. Padres y padrinos bautizando a los niños en otras parroquias pero que desean tomar las clases aquí deben llamar para registrarse para la clase al menos una semana antes de la clase. Recordamos a los padres y pa-drinos que nos informen si no podrán asistir a la clase pre-bautismal para la que se registraron. Los bautismos privados no se celebran a me-nos que la familia tenga un amigo sacerdote o diácono que llevará a cabo la ceremonia. Si tiene alguna pregunta favor de llamar a la oficina parroquial.

LENTEN REGULATIONS—2020
ABSTINENCE: The Church requires all the faithful who have reached their 14th year of age to abstain totally from meat on all Fridays during Lent.
FASTING: All the faithful between the ages of 18 and 59 inclusive are also bound to observe the fasting regulation on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. This practice involves limiting oneself to a single full meal and avoiding food between meals. Light sustenance may also be taken on two other occasions in the course of the day. The Church also requests that pastors and parents see to it that young persons who are not bound to follow the above requirements, are educated in a authentic sense of penance.
EASTER DUTY: After they have been initiated into the Most Holy Eucharist, all the faithful are bound by the obligation of receiving Communion at least once a year. The precept must be fulfilled during the Easter season, unless for a good reason it is fulfilled at another time during the year. Easter time begins at the Vigil on Holy Saturday and concludes with the celebration of Pentecost. By special indult, for the Dioceses in the United States, this period is extended to include the period from Ash Wednesday to Trinity Sunday.
The following should also be noted: By divine law, all the faithful are required to do penance. In view of this, the obligation to observe, as a whole or “substantially” the penitential days specified by the Church, is a serious one. In addition, all other Fridays of the year remain as days of penance in prayerful remembrance of the Passion of Jesus Christ. While abstinence, in a true spirit of penance, is commended, the Bishops of the United States have indicated that each individual may substitute for that tradition some other practice of voluntary self-denial or personal penance. This may involve acts of mortification, temperance, prayer or charity.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS During Lent, we will have Stations of the Cross in English every Friday after the 12:00pm Mass. Stations of the cross in Spanish every Friday during lent at 7:00pm in the Lower Church.
REGULACIONES PARA LA CUARESMA– 2020 ABSTINENCIA: La Iglesia requiere que todos los fieles que hayan cumplido 14 años se abstengan totalmente de comer carne todos los viernes durante la Cuaresma.
AYUNO: Todos los fieles entre las edades de 18 y 59 inclusive tam-bién están obligados a observar la regulación del ayuno el Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo. Esta práctica implica limitarse a una sola comida completa y evitar la comida entre comidas. El sustento ligero también se puede tomar en otras dos ocasiones a lo largo del día. La Iglesia también solicita que los pastores y los padres velen por que los jóvenes que no están obligados a seguir los requisitos anteriores, sean educados en un auténtico sentido de penitencia. SERVICIO DE PASCUA: Después de haber sido iniciados en la Santísima Eucaristía, todos los fieles están obligados a recibir la Comunión al menos una vez al año. El precepto debe cumplirse durante la temporada de Pascua, a menos que por una buena razón se cumpla en otro momento durante el año. El tiempo de Pascua comienza en la Vigilia del Sábado Santo y concluye con la celebración de Pentecostés. Por un indulto especial, para las Diócesis en los Estados Unidos, este período se extiende para incluir el período del Miércoles de Ceniza al Domingo de la Trinidad. También se debe tener en cuenta lo siguiente: Por ley divina, todos los fieles están obligados a hacer penitencia. En vista de esto, la obligación de observar, en su conjunto o "sustancialmente" los días penitenciales especificados por la Iglesia, es grave. Además, todos los demás viernes del año permanecen como días de penitencia en recuerdo en oración de la Pasión de Jesucristo. Si bien se recomienda la abstinencia, en un verdadero espíritu de peni-tencia, los obispos de los Estados Unidos han indicado que cada indi-viduo puede sustituir esa tradición por otra práctica de abnegación voluntaria o penitencia personal. Esto puede involucrar actos de mortificación, templanza, oración o caridad.
ESTACIONES DE LA CRUZ Estaciones de la Cruz en español cada Viernes durante la cuaresma a las 7:00pm en la iglesia de abajo.
