Readings
for February 13, Ash Wednesday
First reading: A
call to fasting
Responsorial Psalm:
A sorrowful plea for mercy
Second reading: A plea for reconciliation with God
Gospel: Jesus' teaching re fasting
Reflection:
A few weeks ago I read that an Australian
bishop has asked his people to fast and pray especially every Friday to make up
for the sex abuse scandal. This Lent is a time for the whole Church,
especially us clergy, to use a bit more prayer and a bit of fasting as a way of
saying sorry for all the bad things that have happened in the Church.
And during the coming month there's one more thing to pray and fast for: the
election of a new pope....asking God that the new pope will help the Church get
back to what Jesus wants it to be like.
Prayer
Jesus, during this Lent, and especially during
the coming month, please help us to a little bit more praying and a bit of
fasting for the two intentions above
