CATHOLIC CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK (Feb.

My Sermon for Ash Wednesday has 3 parts: base on a Catechism Question from the “good old days” BALTIMORE CATECHISM.

Q: Why does the Church command us to fast and to abstain?

A: The Church commands us to fast and to abstain in order that we may control the desires of the flesh, raise our minds more freely to God, and make satisfaction for sin.

We should guard against jealousy, and even the slightest sentiment thereof. This vice is absolutely opposed to pure and sincere zeal for the glory of God, and is a certain proof of secret and subtle pride.---ST. VINCENT DE PAUL.

Saintly Quote for Lent (ON HUMILITY):

I saw the snares that the enemy spreads out over the world and I said groaning, “What can get through from such snares?” Then I heard a voice saying to me, “Humility”.---ST. ANTHONY THE GREAT.

This morning I told the students the stories of St. John Bosco. I told them the beginning of the Salesian Order, and how St. John Bosco brought hardened sinners to Confession.

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. From Ash Wednesday to Holy Thursday, I am going to share with readers of my blog a quotation each day on the virtue of humility.

This year I choose the virtue of humility partly because of the following quote:

I desire, My dearly beloved daughter, that you practice the three virtues that are dearest to Me--- and most pleasing to God. The first is humility, humility, and once again humility; the second virtue, purity; the third virtue, love of God.
