First Friday
FRIDAY AFTER ASH WEDNESDAY
Isaiah, Chapter 25,
verse 3
Therefore, a strong
people will honor you, ruthless nations will FEAR you.
Pope Emiratis Benedict XVI wrote in his Theology of the Covenant that we are a people of many faiths with one covenant with God. Therefore it is reasonable that strong people will honor us in our faith as we have the same covenant with the living God but may worship in a different way.
What are some of the traits we and our cousins in the covenant may have as strong people? According to the daily elite-the voice of generation Y there are 20 things that strong people DON’T do[1]:
What Strong people DON’T do.
1. Dwell on the past (but stay in the
present).
2. Stay in their comfort zone.
3. Refuse to listen to the opinion of
others.
4. Avoid change.
5. Keep a closed mind (but are open to
new ideas).
6. Let others make decisions for them.
7. Get jealous over the success of
others.
8. Dwell on the possibility of failure
(they keep a positive perspective).
9. Feel sorry for their selves.
10. Focus on their weaknesses.
11. Try to please people.
12. Blame themselves for things outside
their control.
13. Be impatient.
14. Let misunderstandings continue.
15. Feel they are entitled or
privileged.
16. Repeat mistakes.
17. Give into their fears.
18. Act without using prudence.
19. Refuse to help.
20. Quit.
However, on the other hand, we must realize that ruthless nations will fear a covenant people because ruthless nations are made up of ruthless people and ruthless people fear what they cannot control.
These are Six Assumptions That Ruthless people make according to Askmen.com.
·
Emotion
is to be avoided in all decision making.
·
No
tolerance for incompetence.
·
Never
forgive.
·
Punish
quickly and brutally.
·
Instill
fear in others.
·
Stay
focused and determined.
To be a people of the covenant we must remember the urgings of Christ that “This is the time of fulfillment. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” (Mark 1:15). “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law of the prophets.” (Mt. 7:12)
First Friday[2]
The
prayer of the Church venerates and honors the Heart of Jesus .
. . which, out of love for men, he allowed to be pierced by our sins." To
those who show him love and who make reparation for sins, however, our Lord
made a great pledge: "I promise you in the unfathomable mercy of
my heart that my omnipotent love will procure the grace of final penitence for
all those who receive communion on nine successive first Fridays of the month;
they will not die in my disfavor, or without having received the sacraments,
since my divine heart will be their sure refuge in the last moments of their
life."
To gain
this grace, we must:
·
Receive
Holy Communion on nine consecutive first Fridays.
·
Have
the intention of honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus and of reaching final
perseverance.
·
Offer
each Holy Communion as an act of atonement for offenses against the Blessed
Sacrament.
Considerations
The
fullness of God is revealed and given to us in Christ, in the love of Christ,
in Christ's heart. For it is the heart of him in whom "the whole fullness
of deity dwells bodily." Were one to lose sight of this great plan of
God-the overflow of love in the world through the Incarnation, the Redemption
and Pentecost-he could not understand the refinement with which our Lord deals
with us. So, when we talk about the heart of Jesus, we stress the certainty of
God's love and the truth of his commitment to us. When we recommend devotion to
the Sacred Heart, we are recommending that we should give our whole selves to
Jesus, to the whole Jesus-our souls, our feelings and thoughts, our words and
actions, our joys. That is what true devotion to the heart of Jesus means. It
is knowing God and ourselves. It is looking at Jesus and turning to him,
letting him encourage and teach and guide us. The only difficulty that could
beset this devotion would be our own failure to understand the reality of an
incarnate God. But note that God does not say: "In exchange for your own
heart, I will give you a will of pure spirit." No, he gives us a heart, a
human heart, like Christ's. I don't have one heart for loving God and another
for loving people. I love Christ and the Father and the Holy Spirit and our
Lady with the same heart with which I love my parents and my friends. I shall
never tire of repeating this. We must be very human, for otherwise we cannot be
divine. . ..
If
we don't learn from Jesus, we will never love. If, like some people, we were to
think that to keep a clean heart, a heart worthy of God, means "not mixing
it up, not contaminating it" with human affection, we would become
insensitive to other people's pain and sorrow. We would be capable of only an
"official charity," something dry and soulless. But ours would not be
the true charity of Jesus Christ, which involves affection and human warmth. In
saying this, I am not supporting the mistaken theories-pitiful excuses-that
misdirect hearts away from God and lead them into occasions of sin and
perdition. . ..
But
I have still a further consideration to put before you. We have to fight
vigorously to do good, precisely because it is difficult for us to resolve
seriously to be just, and there is a long way to go before human relations are
inspired by love and not hatred or indifference. We should also be aware that,
even if we achieve a reasonable distribution of wealth and a harmonious
organization of society, there will still be the suffering of illness, of
misunderstanding, of loneliness, of the death of loved ones, of the experience
of our own limitations. Faced with the weight of all this, a Christian can find
only one genuine answer, a definitive answer: Christ on the cross, a God who
suffers and dies, a God who gives us his heart opened by a lance for the love
of us all. Our Lord abominates injustice and condemns those who commit it. But
he respects the freedom of each individual. He permits injustice to happen
because, as a result of original sin, it is part and parcel of the human
condition.
Yet
his heart is full of love for men. Our suffering, our sadness, our anguish, our
hunger and thirst for justice . . .
he
took all these tortures on himself by means of the cross. . ..
Suffering
is part of God's plans. This is the truth; however difficult it may be for us
to understand it. It was difficult for Jesus Christ the man to undergo his passion:
"Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless, not my
will, but yours, be done." In this tension of pleading and acceptance of
the Father's will, Jesus goes calmly to his death, pardoning those who crucify
him. This supernatural acceptance of suffering was, precisely, the greatest of
all conquests. By dying on the cross, Jesus overcame death. God brings life
from death. The attitude of a child of God is not one of resignation to a
possibly tragic fate; it is the sense of achievement of someone who has a
foretaste of victory. In the name of this victorious love of Christ, we
Christians should go out into the world to be sowers of peace and joy through
everything we say and do. We have to fight-a fight of peace-against evil, against
injustice, against sin.
Thus,
do we serve notice that the present condition of mankind is not
definitive. Only the love of God, shown in the heart of
Christ, will attain our glorious spiritual triumph. Devotion to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus is of great antiquity in the Church. It was St. Margaret Mary
Alacoque, however, who made this devotion widespread. In 1675, within the
octave of the feast of Corpus Christi, our Lord appeared to her and said:
"Behold this heart which, notwithstanding the burning love for men with
which it is consumed and exhausted, meets with no other return from most
Christians than sacrilege, contempt, indifference and ingratitude, even in the
sacrament of my love [the Eucharist].
But
what pierces my heart most deeply is that I am subjected to these insults by
persons especially consecrated to my service." The great promise of the
Sacred Heart is most consoling: the grace of final perseverance and the joy of
having Jesus' heart as our sure refuge and Infinite Ocean of mercy in our last
hour. Almighty and everlasting God look upon the heart of your well-beloved Son
and upon the praise and satisfaction which he offers to you in the name of all
sinners; and grant them pardon when they seek your mercy. We ask this in the
name of Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you for ever and
ever.
1. Love is revealed to us in
the Incarnation, the redemptive journey which Jesus Christ made on our earth,
culminating in the supreme sacrifice of the cross. And on the cross, it showed
itself through a new sign: "One of the soldiers pierced his side with a
spear, and at once there came out blood and water." This water and blood
of Jesus speak to us of a self-sacrifice brought to the last extreme:
"It is
finished"-everything is achieved, for the sake of love. . .
2. Let us realize all the
richness hidden in the words "the Sacred Heart of Jesus." When we
speak of a person's heart, we refer not just to his sentiments, but to the
whole person in his loving dealings with others. In order to help us understand
divine things, Scripture uses the expression "heart" in its full
human meaning, as the summary and source, expression and ultimate basis, of
one's thoughts, words and actions. One is worth what one's heart is worth.
. . .
3. Jesus on the cross, with his
heart overflowing with love for us, is such an eloquent commentary on the value
of people and things that words only get in the way. Men, their happiness and
their lives, are so important that the very Son of God gave himself to redeem
and cleanse and raise them up. "Who will not love this heart so
wounded?" a contemplative asks in this connection. "Who will not
return love for love? Who will not embrace a heart so pure? We, who are made of
flesh, will repay love with love. We will embrace our wounded One, whose hands
and feet ungodly men have nailed; we will cling to his side and to his heart.
Let us pray that we be worthy of linking our heart with his love and of
wounding it with a lance, for it is still hard and impenitent. . .."
Friday after Ash Wednesday-Fast Day
EPISTLE. Isaias
Iviii. 1-9.
THUS,
saith the Lord God: Cry, cease not, lift up thy voice - like a trumpet, and
show My people their wicked doings, and the house of Jacob their sins. For they
seek Me from day to day, and desire to know My ways, as a nation that hath done
justice, and hath not forsaken the judgment of their God: they ask of Me the
judgments of justice: they are willing to approach to God. Why have we fasted,
and Thou hast not regarded: why have we humbled our souls, and Thou hast not
taken notice? Behold in the day of your fast your own will is found, and you
exact of all your debtors. Behold you fast for debates and strife, and strike
with the fist wickedly. Do not fast as you have done until this day, to make
your cry to be heard on high. Is this such a fast as I have chosen: for a man
to afflict his soul for a day? is this it, to wind his head about like a
circle, and to spread sack-cloth and ashes? wilt thou call this a fast, and a
day acceptable to the Lord? Is not this rather the fast that I have chosen?
Loose
the bands of wickedness, undo the bundles that oppress, let them that are
broken go free, and break asunder every burden. Deal thy bread to the hungry and
bring the needy and the harborless into thy house: when thou shalt see one
naked, cover him, and despise not thy own flesh. Then shall thy light break
forth as the morning, and thy health shall speedily arise, and thy justice shall
go before thy face, and the glory of the Lord shall gather thee up. Then shalt
thou call, and the Lord shall hear thou shalt cry, and He shall say, Here I am.
Because I thy Lord God am merciful.
GOSPEL. Matt. v. 43,
vi. 1-4.
At that time Jesus said to His disciples: You have heard that it hath
been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy: but I say to you,
Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that
persecute and calumniate you: that you may be the children of your Father Who
is in heaven, Who maketh His sun to rise upon the good and bad, and raineth
upon the just and the unjust. For if you love them that love you, what reward
shall you have? do not even the publicans this? And if you salute your brethren
only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this? Be you therefore
perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect. Take heed, that you do not
your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise, you shall not have a
reward of your Father Who is in heaven. Therefore, when thou dost an alms deed,
sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in
the streets, that they may be honored by men. Amen I say to you, they have
received their reward. But when thou dost alms, let not thy left hand know what
thy right hand doth. That thy alms may be in secret, and thy Father Who seeth
in secret, will repay thee.
What Is Lent?[3]
Lent
is the penitential season of approximately 40 days set aside by the Church in
order for the faithful to prepare for the celebration of the Lord’s Passion,
Death and Resurrection. During this holy season, inextricably connected to the
Paschal Mystery, the Catechumens prepare for Christian initiation, and current
Church members prepare for Easter by a recalling of Baptism and by works of
penance, that is, prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
Even
in the early Church, Lent was the season for prayerful and penitential
preparation for the feast of Easter. Though the obligation of penance was
originally only imposed on those who had committed public sins and crimes, by
medieval times all the faithful voluntarily performed acts of penance to repair
for their sins.
Ash
Wednesday is the clarion call to “Repent and believe the gospel” (Mk 1:15). For
the next forty days, the faithful willingly submit to fasting and self-denial
in imitation of Our Lord’s forty-day fast in the desert. It is in these dark
and still nights, these desert-times, that the soul experiences its greatest
growth. There, in the inner arena, the soul battles the world, the flesh and
the devil just as Our Lord battled Satan's triple temptation in the desert. His
battle was external, for Jesus could not sin; our battle is interior, but with
a hope sustained by the knowledge of Christ’s Easter victory over sin and
death.
His
victory is our renewal, our “spring” — which is the meaning of the Anglo-Saxon
word, “lengten” or Lent. In this penitential season we have the opportunity to
make an annual spiritual “tune-up”, a 40-day retreat with Our Lord. Have we
allowed worldly cares and the “daily drama” to obscure our call to holiness?
Have self-love and materialism eroded our relationship with God? Then let us
renew our efforts, and through our Lenten observance, discipline the body and
master it as we “follow in the footsteps of the poor and crucified Christ” (St.
Francis of Assisi). Activity

Gregory
Posture
and Prayer[4]
We
are composed of body and soul, “every part of the body is an expressive
instrument of the soul. The soul does not inhabit the body as a man inhabits a
house, it lives and works in each member, each fiber, and reveals itself in the
body’s every line, contour and movement.” Our bodies communicate respect or
contempt. By our gestures and the way, we comport ourselves we confirm his
presence. We are “ensouled” bodies as much as we are embodied souls. We should
always move as the Church directs us: sit, stand, bow, kneel, strike the
breast, make the Sign of the Cross, all in due time. The scriptures speak of
several postures of prayer: 1) Standing 2) Kneeling 3) bowing 4) prostrating.
Standing gives the expression to the prayers
of our heart. Standing is a sign of vigilance and action acknowledging that we
are the warriors of God, as a soldier on duty. A Knight always stood in the
presence of the King or Judge. Standing was a sign of deference and trust. We
acknowledge that none of our weapons or self-defenses can repel Him for He
alone is all powerful and all knowing. We are vulnerable in His presence.
Military officers know that comportment has serious consequences. Soldiers tend
to live up, or down to the way they carry themselves. That’s why there are
strict rules about how a soldier should stand when at attention. Bad posture is
bad for the spine and communicates disrespect for us and others. Standing
expresses the filial liberty given us by the risen Christ, who has freed us
from the slavery to sin.
Bowing or
genuflecting is an
act of showing recognition of our God. It is adoration. In bowing or
genuflecting we show our faith in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the
sacrament of the altar. To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Kneeling is the prayer posture of mothers,
rulers, lepers, and Jesus himself. Kneeling is the side of worship that is at
rest and is quiet; “I bow my knees before the Father”. (Eph. 3:14) Kneeling
expresses the recognition of our humility before the Almighty Lord (Phil 2:10).
Kneeling is associated with reverence, submission and obeisance. Kneeling
renders a person defenseless and unable to flee and shows a trust in a power
beyond the merely human.
Sitting-We spend a lot of time in church
sitting; by this position we show our receptiveness and our willingness to
listen and take the Word of God.
In prostration a person lies face down upon the
ground. We are connected to the earth from which we came. Prostrations are
reserved for most solemn moments, such as the ordination of a bishop or priest.
Remember our Lord prostrated Himself in the garden of Gethsemane. The posture
indicates the candidate’s inadequacy for the task to which he has been called.
Recall our Lord asking the Father to take to cup…but not my will but thine. Our
body expresses self-emptying.
Worship Him and give Him all your
heart, mind, soul and will!
Grace at Meals[5]
Part and parcel of the breakdown of a family begins when the family no longer shares a communal meal. The strongest families are those who meet daily for the breaking of the bread and have an established time of the day when everyone is expected to eat together whether that meal is a breakfast, lunch or supper. When we “say grace” before (or after) our meals, we transform our family or lone meals into “sacraments” of God’s banquet. A meal shared in this manner is shared with God himself. In this way every meal, then, is a celebration of God’s creation and his providence.
Traditional Grace before meals
“Bless
us, O Lord, and these, thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy
bounty. Through Christ, our Lord, Amen
The Canticle
is chanted in some Dominican monasteries on the Fridays of Lent.
Lament of Christ
X
My
friends and My neighbors have drawn near and stood against Me.
X
I
was delivered up and came not forth; My eyes languished through poverty.
X
And
my sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down and upon the ground.
X
For
many dogs have encompassed Me the council of the malignant hath besieged Me.
X
I
have given My body to the strikers and My cheeks to them that plucked them.
X
I
have not turned away My face from them that rebuked Me and spit upon Me.
X
For
I am ready for scourges, and My sorrow is continually before Me.
X
The
soldiers, plaiting a crown of thorns, placed it upon My head.
X
They
have dug My hands and feet; they have numbered all My bones.
X
And
they gave Me gall for My food; and in My thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
X
All
they that saw Me laughed Me to scorn; they have spoken with lips and wagged
their heads.
X
They
have looked and stared upon Me; they parted My garments among them and upon My
vesture they cast lots.
X
Into
Thy hands I commend My spirit; Thou has redeemed me, O God of truth.
X
Be
mindful, O Lord, of Thy servants, when Thou shalt come into Thy kingdom.
X
And
Jesus having cried out with a loud voice gave up the ghost.
The mercies of the Lord I
will sing for all eternity. Surely, He hath borne our infirmities and carried
our sorrows. He was bruised for our sins. All we, like sheep, have gone astray;
everyone hath turned aside into his own way. For the Lord hath placed upon him
the iniquities of us all. Arise, why sleepest Thou, O Lord? Arise and cast us
not off to the end. Behold, God is my Savior, I will deal confidently, and will
not fear. We beseech Thee, O Lord,
help Thy servants whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy Precious Blood.
V. Have mercy on us, O
benign Jesus. R. Who in Thy clemency didst suffer for us.
Look down, we beseech
Thee, O Lord, on this Thy family for which Our Lord Jesus Christ did not
hesitate to be delivered into the hands of the wicked and suffer the torments
of the Cross.
Fitness Friday
Recognizing
that God, the Father created man on Friday the 6th day I propose in
this blog to have an entry that shares on how to recreate and renew yourself in
strength, mind, soul and heart.
Sleep
is an important element of life and along with it is the rest or recreation.
One must regenerate not only the body but the mind and soul as well.
25 Ways to Re-Create[6]
1.
Saltwater Fishing-As the title indicates, saltwater
fishing takes place out at sea giving fishermen the opportunity to catch large
and exotic fishes such as the Marlin. The big drawback to this activity is that
you have to have access to a boat (either own, know someone who does, or rent),
and own special fishing gear that can handle large catches.
2. Bird
Watching- With
about 10,000 species of birds and only a handful of people who can claim having
seen over 7000 of them, bird watching is become a popular recreation activity. It’s
believed that bird watching is an expression of the male hunting instinct while
others links it with the male tendency for “systemizing”. Either way, bird
watching is a great, safe way to enjoy nature.
3. Skiing- Also known as downhill skiing, Alpine
skiing began as a club sport in 1861 at Kiandra in Australia. Today, most
alpine skiing occurs at ski resorts with ski lifts that transport skiers up the
mountain.
4. Snowboarding-An American born sport that is
getting worldwide attention, snowboarding was developed in the 1960’s and
became part of the Olympics in 1998. Like any other extreme sport, snowboarding
does present risks of injury (especially for new participants), in fact, you
are twice as likely to get injured while snowboarding than Alpine skiing.
5. Overnight
Backpacking- Not
to be confused with backpacking for traveling purposes, overnight backpacking
describes a multi-day hike that involves camping. Aside from the health
benefits, backpacking allows adventurers to enjoy remote places that are
usually un-accessible by any other means.
6. Snowshoeing-Snowshoeing is a great way to enjoy
the outdoors during winter months while maintaining an active and healthy
lifestyle. In fact, as of 2006, at least 500 American schools have started
offering snowshoe programs in their physical education curriculum to help
combat obesity.
7. Skateboarding-Skateboarding appeals to people all
over the world. In a 2002 report, it was found that there were 18.5 million
skateboarders in the world. 85 percent of those who had used a board in the
last year of the poll were under the age of 18.
8. Trail
running-An
increasingly popular sport, trail runners have increased from 4.5 million to
more than 6 million in the United States alone between 2006 and 2012.
9. Snorkeling-If you want to check out an
underwater world without the mess of complicated equipment and tanks,
snorkeling is for you. Not only is it simpler than scuba diving, but cheaper as
well since you are not required to have a license and or permit to dive.
10. Bowhunting- Unlike hunting with a rifle,
Bowhunting places the hunter in closer proximity to its prey and is more
physical (in that you burn more calories by using a bow rather than firing a
gun). This activity entices many new participants; however, it is a
controversial sport due to the fact that animals tend to die slowly when struck
by an arrow.
11. Cross-Country
Skiing-Considered
to be one of the most grueling endurance sports out there, cross country skiing
promises to test your fitness. If you are looking for a sport that burns the
most calories per hour, this is it.
12. Wake
Boarding-No waves?
No problem. Wake boarding makes up for the lack of waves with a boat by
dragging you along. This activity is relatively safe, popular, and will
definitely keep you fit if done consistently.
13. Fly
Fishing-A perfect
activity for enjoying the outdoors, fly fishing requires some technical skill
(mainly casting techniques) but these are relatively easy to learn.
14. Sailing-Probably one the most romantic
outdoor activity on this list, sailing captivates the imagination and offers
participants a chance for a relaxing trip on the seas. The only downfall to
this activity is the price of a sailboat.
15. BMX
Biking-BMX
bicycling is an impressive sport to watch, which is probably why so many people
attempt to get into it. If you are thinking of doing the same, be warned, you
can’t fear getting hurt as falls,
scrapes, and fails are common.
16. Surfing-A challenging sport, surfing
definitely requires some skill development. Nevertheless, many people attempt
this dynamic sport.
17. Scuba
Diving-With the
opportunity to experience a rare and stunning encounter with a world outside
the norm, it’s not surprising why so many people try out scuba diving. Just be
careful as scuba diving can get a bit expensive and certification is required
for solo divers.
18. Climbing-The danger factor should be obvious
with this one. Nevertheless, climbing appeals to many first-time participants
and many more find it to be a great outdoor activity. If you’re thinking about
giving this a try, I suggest starting out in an indoor climbing facility.
19. White
Water Rafting-With
six grades of intensity, white water rafting appeals to veterans and novices
alike. With that said, if you want to try rafting for the first time, be sure
to stick to the lower grades since white water rafting can be dangerous.
20. Sea
Kayaking-Kayaking
in the sea will allow you to enjoy an active lifestyle while gliding through
open waters. It’s a relatively easy sport to get into and for the most part
safe (unlike the next item on our list).
21. White
Water Kayaking-A
surprisingly popular activity for first time practitioners, white water
kayaking is a pretty intense sport. If you’re not careful, you can end up
seriously hurt, or worse…dead. Nevertheless, 35% of first-time participants
indicate that this is their sport of choice.
22. Adventure
Racing-You just
never know what you will get with adventure racing. As the name suggest, the
‘adventure’ can consist of swimming, running, climbing, kayaking, etc. There
usually is no time limit and some races can even last days.
23. Triathlon Consisting of three continuous and
sequential endurance disciplines (running, bicycling, and swimming), a
triathlon does not require a particular high level of skills per se. However,
the training for such an event can be grueling.
24. Windsurfing-An engaging combination of sailing
and surfing, windsurfing takes the #2 spot on our list. If you’re itching to
try this sport, know that it does take some patience and perseverance to become
proficient. You must develop your balance and core stability; acquire a basic
understanding of sailing theory; and learn a few techniques.
25. Stand Up Paddling-Stand up paddling (SUP) is the #1 activity for new time users. Similar to surfing in that you stand on a board. In SUP, waves are not required, and you can enjoy a tranquil stroll while enjoying a total body workout.
Catechism
of the Catholic Church
II. Transmit the faith:
catechesis
8
The periods of
renewal of the Church are also times in which catechesis deserves a greater
commitment. Thus, in the great age of the Fathers of the Church, we see
holy bishops devoting an important part of their ministry to
catechesis. It is the time of Saint Cyril of Jerusalem and of Saint John
Chrysostom, of Saint Ambrose and Saint Augustine, and of many other Fathers
whose catechetical works continue to be models.
Daytona, Florida-Bike Week March 4-13 Rev
up for a week of diesel and fun at Daytona Bike Week. The annual motorcycle rally attracts
some of the fiercest bikers, clad in leather (and sometimes little else) to
celebrate the freedom of the open road.
