Pastor’s Column — Rev. Frederick Edlefsen

This year, Ash Wednesday is Valentine’s Day

(February 14) and Easter Sunday is April Fools’

Day (April 1). It’s a cryptic joke. Whatever it

means, here’s some inspired advice: Unless you

think a candlelight dinner with sardines and

water is romantic, enjoy your Valentine’s dinner

before February 14. If you dine sumptuously on

Ash Wednesday, I am confident that you’ll be cast

into the “outer darkness” to “wail and grind your

teeth” (Matthew 13:42). After Mass today, go on

Open Table and make your Valentine’s dinner

reservation for tonight. Also, Monday is a slow

restaurant day, and Tuesday is Mardi Gras. So

there’s plenty of time for romance and fun food

before Ash Wednesday. In any event, fasting and

abstaining from meat on Ash Wednesday is non-

negotiable. Give your spouse or significant other

the red box of chocolates tonight. Or, put it in the

Easter basket on April Fools’ Day.

Restaurants advertise sumptuous dinner deals for

Valentine’s Day. I get it. It’s their public service

to romance. They keep love happy. Love keeps

them prosperous. That’s the modern market. But

there’s something I miss about the ancien régime:

commercial closures on sacred days. There used

to be businesses in south Louisiana that closed on

Holy Days. I once waited and waited for a bus in

Geneva, Switzerland, only to be told in French by

a passing young woman – with shaved head,

chains and leather skirt – that there’s no public

transportation on “l'Ascension.” I didn’t recognize

that word, spoken. I asked her, “Qu'est-ce que

c'est ?” (What is that?) She looked at me as if to

say, “What are you, stupid or something?” She

said something like “L’élévation du Christ au

ciel,” while upwardly gesturing with her hands.

Of course, who else but a 1980’s punker Suisse

would explain the Ascension to an American

Catholic? That was May 1986. But it comes down

to this: There are some sacred observances that no

one dare touch. “Fools rush in where angels fear

to tread.” There are some trees from which fruit

shouldn’t be plucked. There are some bells we

shouldn’t ring:

Make your choice, adventurous Stranger;

Strike the bell and bide the danger,

Or wonder, till it drives you mad,

What would have followed if you had.

(C. S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew)

Ring not the bell that violates a sacred law.

Observe Ash Wednesday with due solemnity.

Don’t be like Esau, who cashed in his birthright

for a meal (see Genesis 25:29-34). Fasting means

(technically) two half meals and one full meal.

No snacks in between. That won’t kill you.

Abstinence means no meat. Fish, peanuts, eggs,

yogurt and alligator in meager portions are fair

game.

Fasting and penance and sacrifice, at set times, are

ancient observances. There’s a primeval intuition

that all people have: We owe a debt to God. Even

atheists know it. It has nothing to do with

“believing” in God. It has nothing to do with any

“belief.” Everyone knows by instinct that they

owe a debt to God, even if they don’t believe in

God. It’s not an “idea.” It’s a sense. You’re

not totally happy. You know it. You’re restless.

Unsettled. Bored. Anxious. Worried. Envious.

Desirous. Lonely. Insecure. Feeling left out. Got

FOMO. Mad. Sad. Bad. Depressed. Too fat. Too

skinny. Too dumb. No matter how good you get,

you always fall short. JMU means “Just Missed

UVA.” UMW means “U Missed William and

Mary.” Just missed the 99th percentile. Miserable.

Despite the fact that you make more money than

99% of planet Earth and your children are getting

one of the best educations in history, you’re

unhappy. Never mind that some children in Peru

grow up in garbage dumps. Some have been

trafficked all their lives. But something’s missing,

for you. Why? Ask your child’s religion teacher.

To be sure, the prescription that the Church gives

– fasting and abstinence on Ash Wednesday and

Good Friday – is not, strictly speaking, God’s law.

It’s an ancient tradition that became Church law.

Yes, you might say it’s “man-made” – by bishops

(whose authority is not man-made). To be sure,

some Church laws and practices are man-made

and some are not. Some are divinely revealed

and cannot be tweaked: the Ten Commandments,

the Natural Moral Law, Sacraments, Priesthood,

Marriage, Articles of the Creed, doctrine – to

name a few. But some Church practices and laws

– even some mandatory ones – are prescribed by

bishops (in accord with the Pope) as a practical

application of God’s Law. You might call it a

divine “app.” Fasting and abstinence are ancient

practices in both the Old and the New Covenants.

All observant Jews and Jesus Himself fasted.

We’re all bound to fast in one way or another.

But exactly when we are required to fast is for

bishops to decide. Yes, it’s about (1) the power of

the “keys” (binding and loosing) and (2) good old

-fashioned obedience to (legitimate) authority.

Yes, God leaves some religious things

up to bishops, and we are bound by

them. We can’t say, by a vote of one-to-

nothing, “Who are those guys in robes and

pointy hats to tell me what to do?” If you

want to see what do-it-yourself religion

eventually comes to, go to a snake-handling

service. Obedience is part of redemption.

Obedience conquers willfulness. Fasting conquers

selfishness. Abstinence conquers worldliness.

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Pastor’s Column

Continued

When I was a college chaplain, students loved

Ash Wednesday and Lent – ashes, fasting,

abstinence, penance. It was chic. Some went

vegan. Gotta’ feel it. Rites, rituals, observances,

weird diets, costumes and symbols. Feel the Bern.

Experience Lent

• Ash Wednesday and Good Friday: Fast and

abstain from meat. Feel the hunger. Offer it

up for your sins and people who suffer.

Do it cheerfully. Don’t look glum. If you’re

miserable, fake it. Suck it up. No cheating: no

stuffed flounder, no artichoke and crab dip, no

Bluepoint oysters or Legal Seafood. Get ashes.

• All Fridays in Lent: No meat. What’s up at St.

Agnes?

Soup Suppers at 5:30 PM

Fish Fry on March 23 at 5:30 PM

Confessions at 7:00 PM

Stations of Cross at 7:30 PM

• Experience Lent: Lent lasts 40 days, not

counting Sundays. Moses passed 40 nights on

a mount. So did Elijah. So did Jesus in the

desert.

Penance: Monday-Saturday, forego non

sinful pleasure like sweets, Starbucks,

snacks, ice cream, salad dressing, social

media, video games. Do penance: Eat

boiled Brussels sprouts. Be nice to nasty

colleagues. Democrats be nice to

Republicans. Republicans be nice to

Democrats. No backhandedness. Die to

self. Grow in charity.

Pray: Spend an occasional hour with

Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Say a

daily rosary. Say the Litany of Saints or a

Litany of Loreto, daily.

Read the Bible: Gospels, Psalms,

Proverbs, Tobit, Sirach and Wisdom.

Read a Saint’s biography: Good for

Confirmation0candidates.

Give to the Bishop’s Lenten Appeal

(BLA): Make a monetary sacrifice for the

missions of the Diocese of Arlington.

• St. Joseph Altar (Sunday, March 18, after

Noon Mass): Celebrate St. Joseph in the Parish

Hall. Solemnity of St. Joseph (March 19): Put

a picture or statue of St. Joseph on your dining

table and light a candle. Have a feast. Say the

Litany of St. Joseph. It’s online.

• Palm Sunday (March 25): Palm Sunday marks

our entry into Holy Week. March 25 is usually

the Annunciation, nine months before

Christmas. But this year, Palm Sunday bumps

the Annunciation to April 9.

• The Chrism Mass (Holy Thursday, March 29,

10:30AM, Cathedral of St. Thomas More):

Celebrated by the Bishop with clergy. He

blesses the Oil of Catechumens (Holy Oil), Oil

of the Sick and the Sacred Chrism. Chrism

will be used at baptism, confirmations and

ordinations.

• Mass of the Lord’s Supper (Holy Thursday,

7:30PM): Commemorates the Last Supper and

first Eucharist. The tabernacle is emptied

before Mass. During the Gloria, bells are rung.

They will remain silent until the Easter Vigil.

The “Washing of Feet” (after the homily)

recalls Jesus’ washing of the Apostles’ feet:

"For I gave you an example that you also

should do as I did to you” (John 13:15). After

Communion, the Eucharist is transferred to a

flowered altar. Pray with Him for an hour.

• Good Friday (March 30): Fasting and

abstinence. Take off work and school. Come

to the 3:00 PM Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion

and 7:30 PM Stations of the Cross.

Brother Dennis This week Brother Dennis and Associates are

donating $1,800 to the Christ the King Priory

in Schuyler, Nebraska, which was founded by

monks of a German order, the Missionary

Benedictine Congregation of St. Ottilien.

From its beginnings in Bavaria in the late

1800s, the order spread to other parts of

Stewardship Report Europe, as well as to Africa. But the

Missionary Benedictines didn’t reach the

American Midwest until the rise of Hitler.

Fearing the threat posed by the Nazi

government, the order sent two monks to

raise money and to work among German

immigrants in Omaha, Nebraska. Christ the

King Priory, about 60 miles from Omaha, was

founded in 1935. The monks there, like all

Missionary Benedictines, dedicate their lives

to prayer, hospitality and missionary work

under the guidance of the Gospel and the

Rule of Saint Benedict. On their 160 acres of

farmland, the monks have abundant space for

their Priory, as well as a Saint Benedict

Center, a place of retreat for those seeking “an

oasis of peace” to listen to the Lord.
