Jan. 30-31Fourth Sunday of Ordinary TimeConsidering the decadence of this contempo-rary age in secular society, there is a critical need to stand up for what is right and just. We are reminded by Jeremiah that taking the hard right, as opposed to the easy wrong, is the correct moral and ethical choice. As long as we stand on the promises of Christ, God will provide us the fortitude and strength to speak the truth.
Enero 30-31Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo OrdinarioConsiderando la decadencia de esta época contemporánea en la sociedad secular, ex-iste una necesidad crítica de pronunciarnos por lo que es justo y correcto. Jeremías nos recuerda que optar por lo correcto y difícil, en lugar de optar por lo fácil y equivocado es la decisión correcta moral y ética. Mientras nos apoyemos en las promesas de Cristo, Dios nos dará fortaleza y fuerza para decir la verdad.

FAST AND ABSTINENCE
Fasting regulationsOne of the most ancient practices linked to the season of Lent is fasting. Fasting is not only a discipline of self-control; but it also serves as an aid to prayer. Just as our bodies hunger for physical food, so too, do our souls hunger for God. By fasting we signify our oneness with the Lord, acknowledge our need for conversion, and give witness to our solidarity with those less fortunate. Traditionally, the canonical obligation of fasting has been understood in the church as the taking of only one full meal a day. These traditions of fasting and abstinence are an expression of our desire to be converted in our hearts, to be reconciled with each other, and to love our neighbor.
The U.S. Catholic bishops call for all Catholics 14 years and older to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and the Fridays of Lent. Abstinence forbids the consumption of meat, but not of eggs, milk products or condiments made of animal fat.
Catholics who are 18 to 59 years old are to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Fasting refers to the quantity of food eaten. Traditionally, fasting calls for refraining from eating between meals and consuming only one full meal per day. Some food which will not equal another full meal is permitted.
“This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own.” (Is 58:6-7)
Other forms of penance that we are encouraged to observe during Lent include:
• Prayer: In prayer, we encounter and walk with God. Opportunities for prayer can include attending Mass, praying the liturgy of the hours, praying within the family, visiting a chapel, prayerfully reading the Bible, praying the rosary or praying before the Blessed Sacrament.
• Almsgiving: This penitential practice entails giving money or other resources for the benefit of those in need. One possible source of this money is that which has been saved from fasting or other means of self-denial. In our diocese, we are encouraged to give alms to the Ashes to Easter project, which benefits missionaries from our diocese.
Ayuno y Abstinencia
Reglas de AyunoUna de las prácticas más antiguas que se ligan a la temporada de Cuaresma es el ayuno. El ayuno no sólo es una disciplina de autodominio; pero también nos sirve como ayuda para orar. Así como nuestros cuerpos tienen hambre de alimento físico, así también, nuestras almas tienen hambre de Dios. Ayunando simbolizamos nuestra unidad con el Señor, reconocemos nuestra necesidad de conversión, y declaramos nuestra solidaridad con los menos afortunados. Tradicionalmente, la oblig-ación canónica de ayunar se entiende en la Iglesia de solo tener una comida completa al día. Estas tradiciones del ayuno y de la abstinencia son una expresión de nuestro deseo de convertir nuestros corazones, de ser reconciliados uno con el otro,
y de amar a nuestro prójimo.
Los obispos Católicos de los E.E.U.U. llaman a todos los Católicos de 14 años en adelante abstener de comer carne el Miércoles de Ceniza, el Viernes Santo y todos los viernes durante la Cuaresma. La abstinencia prohíbe el consumo de carne, pero no de blanquillos, de productos lácteos o de condimentos hechos con grasa animal.
Los Católicos de 18 a 59 años de edad deben ayunar el Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo. El Ayuno se refiere a la cantidad de alimento que se come. Tradicionalmente, el ayunar nos llama a dejar de comer entre comidas y de solo consumir una comida completa por día. Se per-mite un poco de alimento que no igualará otra comida completa.
“¿No saben cuál es el ayuno que me agrada? Romper las cadenas injustas, desatar las amarras del yugo, dejar libres a los oprimidos y romper toda clase de yugo. Compartirás tu pan con el hambriento, los pobres sin techo entraran a tu casa, vestirás al que veas desnudo y no volverás la espalda a tu hermano.” (Is 58:6-7)
Otras formas de penitencia que se nos anima observar durante la Cuaresma son:
• Oración: En el rezo, nos encontramos y caminamos con Dios. Oportunidades para rezar pueden incluir atender Misa, rezar la liturgia de las horas, rezar dentro de la familia, visitar una capilla, leer la biblia en oración, rezar el rosario o rezar ante el Santísimo Sacramento.
• Caridad: Esta práctica penitencial invita dar dinero u otros recursos en beneficio de los más necesitados. Una fuente posible de este dinero es lo que se ha ahorrado por medio del ayuno u otros medios de abnegación. En nuestra diócesis, se nos anima ser caritativos al proyecto de Cenizas a Pascua, que beneficia a misionarios de nuestra diócesis.

Santa Cruz Catholic School will be celebrating all week long with special daily activities: Super Student Day, Donuts with Dads, Muffins with Moms, Goodies with Grandparents, and Teacher Appreciation Day.

We also begin the week with the Student Talent Show on Monday afternoon. All in all, it will be a busy week filled with great things.
This past Friday, we had fifty-two students attend the School Choice Rally on the grounds of the Capitol. After that, the students, their teachers, and their chaperones attended noon Mass at the Ca-thedral. The students were very excited to be walking through one of the blessed Holy Doors of Mercy designated within the Austin Diocese. After Mass, the entire group enjoyed an outdoor picnic on Capitol grounds.
Have a blessed week,Mrs. Flanagan

Próximo Retiro de mujeres CHRP - 20 y 21 de febrero, 2016Les pido que por favor atendamos este encuentro, de dos días, con nosotras mismas y con Jesús Nuestro Salvador, Rey de Reyes y Señor de Señores. Con temas súper importantes como la Conversión y Vida
Nueva en Cristo Jesús, una vida de Oración. En Juan 3:3-5 Jesús le dijo: En verdad te digo que el que no nazca de nuevo, no puede ver el Reino de Dios. Nicodemo le dijo: ¿cómo pu-ede un hombre nacer siendo ya viejo? ¿Acaso puede entrar por segunda vez en el vientre de su madre y nacer? Jesús respondió: En verdad te digo que el que no nace del Agua y del Espíritu no puede entrar al Reino de Dios.
Hermanas Dios Nuestro Señor nos está invitando para estar con él ese fin de semana y revestirnos de ese hombre nuevo y despojarnos del hombre viejo, y es algo tan bello sentir Su presencia en nuestro corazón, y es tan hermoso decirle si Señor aquí estoy para lo que me necesites. Gracias a cada una de ustedes por su tiempo y decirle que si a Nuestro Dios.
The Mystical Rose Rosary Makers wel-comes all to join the rosary makers group. Making rosaries is an excellent way to help our missionaries to teach others how to love Jesus. The group will have its next meeting on Friday, February 5, 2016 at 2 PM in the Knight of Columbus Room in Dean Hall.
For additional information, call Middy Munoz at 512-312-9940, or Sandy Dodson at 512-213-4554; or Dolores Montemayor at 512-280-3625.”

Eagle’s Wings Retreat Center Presents a Retreat just in time for Lent:February 16: Meditating on the Mystery of Jesus’ Passion and Death on the Cross
Peering from behind the scenes of Mel Gibson’s “The Passion” to Ronald Rolheiser’s reflections on the mystery of Jesus’ Passion and Cross, we come face to face with questions like what is the wisdom inside the Cross of Jesus? - How does our brokenness connect with the brokenness of the one who died on the cross? - How does carrying our own cross help those around us? - What are we saying to ourselves and others when we wear crosses around our necks or display them in our homes? - How do we accept the challenge to make the death of Jesus on the cross an example to follow in our own lives? (Based on Ronald Rolheiser’s book: “The Passion and the Cross”). Come and join as we dive deeply into this mystery.
Presenter: Monseigneur Elmer Holtman; beloved priest for over 50 years.$35 includes light breakfast and lunch. Register at www.ewrc.org
