Lenten Obligations 1. The days of fast and abstinence are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. 2. All other Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. 3. The obligation of fast applies only to Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59. Fasting in the Catholic tradition means to limit oneself to one full meal and two smaller meals which together are not equal to a full meal, so as to experience hunger. 4. The obligation of abstinence applies to all Catholics who have reached the age of 14. Abstinence in the Catholic tradition means to abstain from meat.

In the Gospel reading today, Jesus promises the water of life which “will become a spring of water welling up into eternal life.” He refers to the waters of Baptism. The sign of water in baptism points to the greater reality by which we share in Christ’s victory over sin and death. He left us the sacraments as signs pointing to eternal realities which are effective in our lives by giving us grace. The sign of bread and wine which are physical realities become in substance the Body and Blood of Christ Himself, a greater reality. You may notice that during Mass the priest will carefully purify the sacred vessels by gathering up any tiny fragments of the Eucharist into the chalice and then he will add water and consume the fragments and any drops of the Precious Blood that may be left in the chalice. The he will carefully wipe the chalice with a purificator, which itself will be purified later. Under the chalice and paten is a square cloth which is called a corporal. It is folded in a special way so as to catch any particles of the Eucharist that may have fallen on it and later it is purified. The body of Christ is not divided. It is whole and entire — body, blood, soul, humanity, and divinity. Each small fragment is the entire Christ. That is why sometimes the priest will break a piece of the host if the person cannot swallow properly. The person receives the entire Jesus not half-Jesus. The same is true for the Precious Blood. St Thomas Aquinas wrote that one drop (una stilla) could save the entire world of all its sins (see “Adoro te devote”). So if the Precious Blood is not available then the Host is super-substantial — more than enough. Likewise, if the priest runs out of Hosts, a drop of the Precious Blood is likewise more than enough.

2020 Bishop’s Annual Appeal Stepping Forward in Faith: Grace in Action
By now you have received a letter from Bishop Checchio inviting your participation in the 2020 Bishop’s Annual Appeal. The diocesan ministries supported by the Appeal directly impact many of the parishioners here in St James the Less. Your gift provides formation opportunities for our catechists, youth and young adults. Among other important ministries, your sacrificial gift supports our renewed efforts in Evangelization & Communication. If you have yet to make your pledge to this year’s Bishop’s Annual Appeal, you will have the opportunity to do so next weekend, March 21/22, which has been designated as Bishop’s Annual Appeal In-Pew Weekend. Please prayerfully consider a gift to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal to help our parish reach its goal. If we can exceed our goal, 50% of the amount collected over goal will be returned to us in the form of a parish rebate. Just as important as our financial goal is our goal of reaching 100% participation. Every gift, no matter the size, is important and greatly appreciated. Thank you.

En la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús promete el agua de la vida que "se convertirá…en un manantial capaz de dar la vida eterna". Se refiere a las aguas del bautismo. El signo del agua en el bautismo apunta a la mayor realidad por la cual compartimos la victoria de Cristo sobre el pecado y la muerte. Nos dejó los sacramentos como signos que apuntan a realidades eternas que son efectivas en nuestras vidas dándonos gracia. El signo del pan y el vino, que son realidades físicas, se convierte en sustancia en el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Jesucristo mismo. Notará que durante la santa misa el sacerdote purificará cuidadosamente los vasos sagrados al juntar cualquier fragmento pequeño de la Eucaristía en el cáliz y luego agregará agua y consumirá los fragmentos y las gotas de la preciosísima sangre que puedan quedar en el cáliz. . Luego limpiará cuidadosamente el cáliz con un purificador, que luego también se purificará. Debajo del cáliz y la patena hay una tela cuadrada que se llama el corporal. Se pliega de una manera especial para atrapar cualquier partícula de la Eucaristía que pueda haber caído sobre ella y luego se purifica. El cuerpo de Cristo no está dividido. Es entero y completo: cuerpo, sangre, alma, humanidad y divinidad. Cada pequeño fragmento es el Cristo entero. Es por eso que a veces el sacerdote romperá un pedazo de la hostia si la persona tiene problemas al tragar. La persona recibe a Jesús entero, no a medio Jesús. Lo mismo es cierto para la preciosísima sangre. Santo Tomás de Aquino escribió que una gota (una stilla) podría salvar al mundo entero de todos sus pecados (ver "Adoro te devote"). Entonces, si la preciosísima sangre no está disponible, la hostia es súper sustancial, más que suficiente. Del mismo modo, si el sacerdote se queda sin hostias, una gota de la preciosísima sangre también es más que suficiente.

Apelación Annual del Obispo 2020 Sigamos Adelante en la Fe: La Gracia en Acción
Ustedes han recibido la carta del Obispo Chechio invitándolos a participar en la Apelación Anual del Obispo 2020. Los Ministerios Diocesanos que se benefician con los aportes que se reciban en esta campaña, tienen un impacto directo en muchos de los feligreses de nuestra Parroquia de Santiago Menor. Su contribución apoyará la formación de catequistas, jóvenes y jóvenes adultos; entre otros importantes ministerios. La ofrenda que usted hace con sacrificio, respalda nuestros renovados esfuerzos para la Evangelización y la Comunicación. Si usted, este año no ha hecho su contribución a la Apelación Anual del Obispo, podrá hacerlo el próximo fin de semana, 16 y 17 de Marzo, el cual ha sido designado como El fin de semana de la Apelación Anual del Obispo. Por favor, como feligres considere contribuir a la Apelación Anual del Obispo para ayudarnos a alcanzar nuestra meta como Parroquia. Si nosotros logramos sobrepasar la meta de la Parroquia, el 50% del monto colectado por encima de la meta, será reembolsado a la Parroquia. Más importante que cumplir la meta financiera, nuestro objetivo es alcanzar el 100% de participación de las familias. Cada contribución, no importa la cantidad, es importante y muy apreciada. Gracias.
