THE SHROUD AND THE PASSION: A Talk on the Shroud of Turin
On Sunday, March 8, at 1:00 P.M. in the Church Hall, Sacred Heart parishioners Ellen Russell and Stephen Corvini will give a presentation on the Shroud of Turin.
The Shroud, a very old burial cloth that for centuries has been kept in the Cathedral in Turin, is famous for bearing the image of a crucified man. This has led to many questions about the cloth and the figure on it, while the attempt to find
answers has led to many arguments and theories, as well as much research and testing. The speakers will summarize the most important of these efforts.
So far, however, no one has been able to produce an indisputable answer to the greatest questions about the Shroud: is
this the burial cloth of Jesus, and is the image a true likeness of Him? On those points, individuals must decide for themselves what they believe.
But even if it were to be proved beyond doubt that the Shroud was a work of art, rather than a “selfie” of the Savior, it would still be worthwhile to learn about and reflect on it, especially during Lent, since the Shroud illustrates so vividly what
crucifixion was like. We therefore gladly invite all to join us for this talk and light refreshments. Ellen Russell is a retired history teacher. She holds a B.A. from the College of Mount Saint Vincent, and an M.A. and Ph.D.
from Fordham University. Stephen Corvini is a physical therapist. He received his bachelor’s degree in biology from Manhattanville College, and doctorate in physical therapy from New York Medical College.

This Week: Ash Wednesday and the Beginning of Lent February 26th is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the Lenten season. Please keep in mind that Ashes will
be distributed DURING THE MASSES, FOLLOWING THE HOMILY. Masses will be celebrated at 6:45 AM,
8:30 AM, and 7:30 PM. Please note that ashes will NOT be distributed in the parish office.
Remember that it is the interior attitude of Ash Wednesday, rather than the exterior mark with ashes, that is most
important. As you prepare for the beginning of this holy season, consider how you will respond to what the Scriptures
and Tradition of the Church call us to: prayer, fasting, almsgiving.
During the season of Lent, the Church urges all the Faithful to reflect a spirit of penance in their daily life
through performing acts of fast and abstinence.
FASTING requires that one only full meal be taken per day. Two other smaller meals may be taken during the
day to maintain physical strength, but these two meals together should not equal a full meal in quantity. Fasting on Ash
Wednesday and Good Friday obliges all those who have reached the age of 18 and continues to oblige through age 59.
Those not specifically obliged to fast are encouraged to join in the discipline of fasting to the extent that they are able.
ABSTINENCE prohibits individuals from eating meat or poultry on a particular day. Abstinence obliges all
those who have reached the age of 14 and continues to oblige throughout their entire lives. Those not specifically
obliged to abstain from eating meat are encouraged to join in this discipline to the extent that they are able.
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of Fast and Abstinence, all Fridays in Lent are days of
Abstinence.
Please Share This Special Invitation for Lent - You Never Know… Lent leads us to the great solemnity of Easter and the celebrations of Christ’s victory over sin and death. The
liturgical celebrations of Holy Week are among the most beautiful of all the church’s liturgies. Wouldn’t it be great if
someone who has never participated in them before was present for the first time? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if someone
who hasn’t been to them for several (perhaps even many!) years were invited back, BY YOU, to participate in them
once again?
You’ve heard me say it before, but I need you to reach out to our brothers and sisters in the community who
may be looking for a spiritual home, who may be looking to deepen their faith, who may be searching for a way to
experience God’s forgiveness and healing, who may have fallen away from the Church and the practice of their faith and
yet still have that inner longing for a strong spirituality that can’t be easily replaced.
I invite you once again to offer a special invitation to someone who may be waiting for you to deliver it! Please
pray about it. You never know…
A Little Goes a Long Way! As we enter into the journey of Lent 2020, allow me to invite you to reflect on a simple phrase or two from the
Sacred Scriptures each day. Some of us set out on strenuous Lenten disciplines which we may not always be able to
complete. Like a little yeast which leavens a whole batch of dough, allow a small part of God’s Word to touch your
heart and resonate in your mind throughout the day. Perhaps begin and end your day reading the same verse or two and
look for evidence from the day’s activities of the ways in which you experienced and lived God’s Word.

From the Pastor’s Desk 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time: Love Your Neighbor as Yourself
This is a phrase we have heard many times before and still, perhaps, we find it difficult to put into practice. The
Book of Leviticus further reminds us to bear no hatred for a brother or sister in our heart; take no revenge on anyone,
cherish no grudges against anyone. A tall order for us, perhaps!
In our second reading, from St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, reminds us that we are the temple of God
and the Spirit of God dwells in us. Therefore, we are holy! There are few greater compliments one can pay us than to
call us the Temple of God! Do we believe that? Do we act in such a way that our life reflects what we believe?
In our gospel passage this weekend, Jesus continues instructing his disciples in a way that opens their minds to a
broader and more inclusive understanding of the commandments. His challenges are significant! Turn the other cheek,
give more than is asked for, go the extra mile, give to those who ask and do not turn your back on one who wants to
borrow are all difficult enough in themselves. But then Jesus adds, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute
you. We’re told not to seek revenge or retaliation, and not to cause offenses to escalate in any way. How much more
can he ask of us?
Lent is just around the corner. In fact, it starts this coming Wednesday. Throughout our days of fasting, prayers
and penance, almsgiving and reflecting on the special call to holiness we receive during the six weeks of Lent, we are
given many opportunities to hear how Jesus put into practice himself all that he taught us to do. Our Servant-Leader has
given us great examples of how to bring God’s Word to life in us and how to keep it alive! We sang in our response
today, “the Lord is kind and merciful.” We imitate the Lord when we do the things that he did; when we speak the way
he did; when we seek to follow God’s will above all else, as he did.
Let us try to take a few moments this week and consider the following questions:
Is there anyone in my life right now that I find difficult to love? To forgive?
Do I have a good self-image as a Temple of God? Do I treat that Temple with reverence and respect? What in
my life speaks of holiness?
Have I ever turned the other cheek when someone has hurt me, insulted me, embarrassed me? Have I ever gone
the extra mile for someone or given more than I was asked for?
Is there anyone in my life I might consider an enemy? Why? What happened between us? Do I still love that
person? Have I ever taken the Lord at his word and prayed for someone who has persecuted me in some way? Do I
seek revenge rather offer forgiveness? Do I hold on to grudges rather than let them go?
If anyone of these questions were particularly difficult for you to reflect on, try it again. Be sure to begin your
reflection with a prayer, asking for an outpouring of God’s Spirit on you and an open mind and heart to respond after the
teaching and example of Jesus.
LENTEN JOURNEY
Distributed with the bulletin this weekend is a Lenten Journey Calendar. Our Lenten Journeys are varied and we hope
that you will take advantage of creating your own. On the insert are suggestions for Prayer and Faith in Action that we
can all do to make this a meaningful Lent
LENTEN LUNCH – STATIONS OF THE CROSS
St. Francis of Assisi is credited with popularizing the devotion known as the Stations of the Cross. It is a particularly
Franciscan devotion because it asks us to look at and reflect on images of Jesus in his final hours of suffering and glory
and respond from our hearts in prayer. Join us for a Lenten Lunch (Soup and Salad) hosted by the various parish
organizations each Friday at 11:45 in the Church Hall followed by the Stations of the Cross at 12:30 in the church.
This Friday, February 28th is sponsored by the Liturgical Ministers. Continued on previous page
