MARCH 4, 2017—FIRST SATURDAY
The Five First Saturdays of
Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
In 1925, the Blessed Virgin appeared and gave to Sister Lucia of
Fatima the following promise: The Most Holy Virgin said, “...I
promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary
for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecu-
tive months, shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five
decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes
while meditating on the fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary, with the
intention of making reparation to me.”
(Exposition, Rosary, prayers, after 8:30 am Mass)
Note: Our Lord told Sister Lucia that the confes-
sion may be made at any time during the eight
days after (or before) the First Saturday. More-
over, He said, “It could be longer still, provided
that, when they receive Me, they are in a state of
grace and have the intention of making reparation
to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”

The Value and Meaning of Fasting by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI (2009 Lenten Message )
Lent recalls the forty days of our Lord’s fasting in the desert, which He undertook before entering into His pub-
lic ministry. We read in the Gospel: “Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was hungry” (Mt 4,1-2). Like Moses, who fasted be-
fore receiving the tablets of the Law (cf. Ex 34,28) and Elijah’s fast before meeting the Lord on Mount Horeb (cf.
1 Kings 19,8), Jesus, too, through prayer and fasting, prepared Himself for the mission that lay before Him,
marked at the start by a serious battle with the tempter.
The practice of fasting is very present in the first Christian community (cf. Acts 13,3; 14,22; 27,21; 2 Cor 6,5).
The Church Fathers, too, speak of the force of fasting to bridle sin, especially the lusts of the “old Adam,” and
open in the heart of the believer a path to God. Moreover, fasting is a practice that is encountered frequently and
recommended by the saints of every age. Saint Peter Chrysologus writes: “Fasting is the soul of prayer, mercy is
the lifeblood of fasting. So if you pray, fast; if you fast, show mercy; if you want your petition to be heard, hear
the petition of others. If you do not close your ear to others, you open God’s ear to yourself.”
In our own day, fasting seems to have lost something of its spiritual meaning, and has taken on, in a culture
characterized by the search for material well-being, a therapeutic value for the care of one’s body. Fasting cer-
tainly bring benefits to physical well-being, but for believers, it is, in the first place, a “therapy” to heal all that
prevents them from conformity to the will of God. . . . Lent could be a propitious time to . . . mortify our egoism
and open our heart to love of God and neighbor, the first and greatest Commandment of the new Law and com-
pendium of the entire Gospel (cf. Mt 22, 34-40).
The faithful practice of fasting contributes, moreover, to conferring unity to the whole person, body and soul,
helping to avoid sin and grow in intimacy with the Lord. Saint Augustine, who knew all too well his own negative
impulses, defining them as “twisted and tangled knottiness” (Confessions, II, 10.18), writes: “I will certainly im-
pose privation, but it is so that he will forgive me, to be pleasing in his eyes, that I may enjoy his delightfulness.”
Denying material food, which nourishes our body, nurtures an interior disposition to listen to Christ and be fed by
His saving word. Through fasting and praying, we allow Him to come and satisfy the deepest hunger that we ex-
perience in the depths of our being: the hunger and thirst for God.
At the same time, fasting is an aid to open our eyes to the situation in which so many of our brothers and sis-
ters live. In his First Letter, Saint John admonishes: “If anyone has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in
need, yet shuts up his bowels of compassion from him – how does the love of God abide in him?” (3,17). Volun-
tary fasting enables us to grow in the spirit of the Good Samaritan, who bends low and goes to the help of his suf-
fering brother. By freely embracing an act of self-denial for the sake of another, we make a statement that our
brother or sister in need is not a stranger. It is precisely to keep alive this welcoming and attentive attitude towards
our brothers and sisters that I encourage the parishes and every other community to intensify in Lent the custom
of private and communal fasts, joined to the reading of the Word of God, prayer and almsgiving. . . .
From what I have said thus far, it seems abundantly clear that fasting represents an important ascetical prac-
tice, a spiritual arm to do battle against every possible disordered attachment to ourselves. Freely chosen detach-
ment from the pleasure of food and other material goods helps the disciple of Christ to control the appetites of na-
ture, weakened by original sin, whose negative effects impact the entire human person. . . .
Dear brothers and sisters, it is good to see how the ultimate goal of fasting is to help each one of us, as the Ser-
vant of God Pope John Paul II wrote, to make the complete gift of self to God. May every family and Christian
community use well this time of Lent, therefore, in order to cast aside all that distracts the spirit and grow in what-
ever nourishes the soul, moving it to love of God and neighbor.

St. Joseph Catholic Academy is introducing a new Schol-
arship Program specifically for Middle School students.
Recognizing that the cost of a high quality, faith-based edu-
cation may be prohibitive for many families, St. Joseph
Catholic Academy has created the Sr. Sylvia Middle School
Scholarship. Based on family income, the Sr. Sylvia Middle
School Scholarship will allow families who qualify to pay
the SJCA K-5 tuition rate for their Middle School years.
If you or someone you know has a middle school student
that would like to attend SJCA, but is concerned about the
cost, please contact Wanda Jaraczewski at wjaraczewski
@sjcawi.org; or call 654-8651 x104 to learn more about this
scholarship opportunity.
The Pope’s Prayer Intention for March 2017
Support For Persecuted Christians That persecuted
Christians may be supported by the prayers and material
help of the whole Church.
REGULATIONS FOR LENT
AND THE EASTER TRIDUUM Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian
year. All are strongly urged to develop and follow a
program of voluntary self-denial, attentiveness to
prayer, and especially to works of charity and mercy.
Every one of 14 years of age or over is bound to ab-
stain from meat on Ash Wednesday, March 1, 2017,
and all the Fridays of Lent.
Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of age is
bound to fast on Ash Wednesday, March 1, 2017, and
Good Friday, April 14, 2017. On these two days of fast
and abstinence, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday,
only one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other
meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be
taken according to each one's needs, but together they
should not equal another full meal. Eating between
meals is not permitted on these two days, but liquids
including milk and fruit juices are allowed.
When health or ability to work would be seriously af-
fected, the law does not oblige. To disregard com-
pletely the law of fast and abstinence is a serious mat-
ter.
May our Lenten journey bring us closer to the cross
and our Resurrected Savior.
Note: Archbishop Listecki has decreed that a dis-
pensation from fasting and abstinence is granted to
all Catholics of the Milwaukee Archdiocese on
Friday, March 17, which is the Feast of St. Patrick.
He encourages all who make use of this dispensa-
tion to engage in another sacrificial or charitable
act on that day.
