CCD INFORMATION CCD REGISTRATION FORM
The month of February is dedicated to the Holy Family.
The first three and a half weeks of February fall within the liturgical
season of Ordinary Time which is represented by the liturgical color
green. Green, the symbol of hope, is the color of the sprouting seed
and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of
heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection. The remaining
days of February are the beginning of Lent. The liturgical color
changes to purple — a symbol of penance, mortification and the sorrow
of a contrite heart.
 The
month of February is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Family.
Between the events which marked Christmas and the beginning of Christ's
public life the Church has seen fit to recall the example of the Holy
Family for the emulation of the Christian family. The Feast of
the Presentation or Candlemas forms a fitting transition from Christmas
to Easter. The small Christ-Child is still in His Mother's arms, but
already she is offering Him in sacrifice. February 21, Shrove Tuesday,
will find us preparing for Ash Wednesday.

Seventh Sunday In Ordinary TimeIn
our repentance, the Lord remembers not our offenses. God who is
forever faithful, has sent us his Son. He is the sign of God’s
never ending healing love and forgiveness.
Great
faith and forgiveness are the center of today’s gospel reading. A
paralyzed man had four friends of deep faith. So great was their faith
in Jesus that they lowered their friend on his mat from the roof of the
house where Jesus was. In ancient times, people believed that diseases
and deformities were caused by either the sins of the person or his/her
parents. Forgiveness of those sins would render the person healthy
again. Jesus’ problem came when he forgave the man his sins. The Jewish
leaders considered the action blasphemous because only God could
forgive sins. They didn’t recognize Jesus’ authority as the Son of
God. Let us see the value of true, faithful and believing
friends. Even when we consider our own friends and the people with whom
we spend our time, we thank God for the people who share our values and
faith. We know it’s true that people who share faith with us understand
the struggles that we all face as people of God. |
