AYUNO Y ABSTENCIA CUARESMALES
ABSTENERSE DE COMER
CARNE (“carne” incluye pollo) es
obligatorio el Miércoles de Ceniza y
todos los Viernes de Cuaresma (los

están obligados por esta ley).
AYUNAR es obligatorio el Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes
Santo para los de 18 años de edad en adelante y hasta los 59.
Al ayunar se pueden tomar dos comidas del día, suficientes
para conservar el vigor; pero esas dos sumadas no pueden
equivaler a una comida completa. No es permitido comer entre
comidas ese día de ayuno, pero sí se pueden tomar líquidos.
Nota: Los enfermos, mujeres embarazadas y los ancianos
están exentos de estas leyes de la Iglesia sobre ayuno y
abstinencia.
LA BIBLIA DE NAVARRA

aquéllos que quieren expandir su
conocimiento en la Sagrada escritura.

completamente provechoso a las
enseñanzas de la Iglesia Católica.

CAMPAÑA ‘09
Necesitamos el compromiso de cada feligrés
para que podamos alcanzar nuestra meta y así
ayudar a nuestros hermanos Católicos más
necesitados de la Arquidiócesis.
Meta parroquial $29,425
BAUTIZOS DE INFANTES, GRATIS
Bautizamos los infantes y niños pequeños los sábados en
español.
Y con el fin de motivar a los padres
católicos a bautizar a sus hijos cuanto
antes después del nacimiento, no se
pedirá ningún donativo para los bebés
que tienen sólo un mes o menos.
Los padres tienen obligación de hacer
que los hijos sean bautizados en las
primeras semanas; lo más pronto
después del nacimiento … Canon 867.1
[Derecho Canónico de la Iglesia Católica].
Llame a la notaría parroquial para fijar la fecha hoy.
NO TODAS LAS ‘IGLESIAS
CATÓLICAS’ LO SON
Puede ser que el templo se mira como un
templo Católico o que tienen allí una
imagen de la Virgen de Guadalupe o de
otros Santos Católicos. También puede ser
que el llamado ‘Padre’ se viste como
sacerdote y que allí dan ‘Misas’. Nada de
esto garantiza que son Católicos
verdaderos en comunión con el Papa
Benedicto.
Tristemente, hay un numero creciente
de sectas nuevas que rechazan la autoridad del Papa y las demás
doctrinas Católicas pero al mismo tiempo dan la impresión a la
gente no instruida que ellos si son Católicos. Lo hacen porque
son ‘negocios’ y se aprovechan de la gente crédula. Los señores
encargados de aquellas sectas, aunque se visten de ‘Padres,’ no
están interesados en la salvación del alma.
¡Cuidado con aquellas sectas! Y anote bien: un Católico debe
asistir a Misa y recibir los Sacramentos solamente en una
parroquia ‘registrada’ con la Iglesia Católica, Apostólica y
Romana. Si no, los llamados ‘Sacramentos’ recibidos no son
lícitos en los ojos de la Iglesia Católica, Apostólica y Romana.
Si usted tiene una duda sobre una Iglesia específica, llame a la
notaría parroquial. Tenemos en la oficina un directorio de todas
las parroquias que están en comunión con el Papa y con el
Cardenal Mahony.
THE HOLY MASS/LA SANTA MISA
“Todas las buenas obras en el mundo no se igualan al Santo
Sacrificio de la Misa porque aquellas son obras de los
hombres; pero la Santa Misa es obra de Dios. El martirio es
nada en comparación, porque este es el sacrificio del
hombre a Dios; pero la Santa Misa es el sacrificio de Dios
para el hombre.” - San Juan Vianney

"All the good works in the world are not equal to the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass because they are the works of men; but
the Mass is the work of God. Martyrdom is nothing in com-
parison for it is but the sacrifice of man to God; but the Mass
is the sacrifice of God for man." - St. John Vianney

STATIONS OF THE CROSS FRIDAYS

Father will lead the faithful in the
praying the STATIONS OF THE
CROSS every Friday of Lent
immediately after the 6:30pm
Mass in the church on 20th
Street. This is a beautiful Lenten
devotion which is highly recom-
mended by saints and holy popes.
STATIONS will also be prayed
at 7:30pm in front of the Long
Beach Abortion mill located at
2777 Long Beach Blvd. Please
join us.

FAST & ABSTINENCE DURING LENT

Abstaining from meat (“meat”
includes poultry) is obligatory on
Ash Wednesday and all Fridays
of Lent (those who are 14 yrs or
older are bound by this law).
Fasting is obligatory on Ash Wednesday & Good
Friday for anyone who is at least 18 yrs and not yet
59. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength,
may be taken; but together they should not equal an-
other full meal. Eating between meals on these days is
not permitted, but liquids are allowed. Obviously, the
sick, pregnant women and the elderly are exempt from
these regulations.
