​

​​†  Easter Duty:

  • Confession: All the faithful who have reached the use of their reason must sincerely confess their sins at least once a year (C.906). One’s obligation is not fulfilled by a sacrilegious confession (C. 907).

  • Easter Communion: All the faithful who have attained the use of their reason must receive Holy Communion at least once during the Easter season. The obligation is not satisfied by a sacrilegious Communion (C.861). If someone has not made his Easter duty for a long time, and this be publicly known, he is thereby a public sinner who loses his right to ecclesiastical burial. (C.1240).  It is a mortal sin not to receive Holy Communion during the Easter Season, which begins from 1st Sunday of Lent and ends on Trinity Sunday.

 

†  Please keep in your prayers the sick and those who Father goes to see: Jackie Kroger, Connie Sellers, Hope Wright.

Reflection: The Catechism Explained By Stories and Examples
by Fr. Francis Spirago
Fifth Lesson: On Our First Parents and the Fall
Question: Why is this sin called original?
Answer: This sin is called original because it comes down to us from our first parents, and we are brought into the world with its guilt on our soul.

The Neglected Pupil: The teacher of a Sunday school class propounded the foregoing question to a new pupil. The child in question, though bright enough, had been neglected by her parents, and it was only through means of some other pupils that she was led to come to church at all. Looking only to the meaning of the words she answered: “It is called original because it was a new kind of sin invented and committed then for the first time.” When asked, “What are capital sins?” She reflected, “When papa approves of anything, he says, ‘Capital! That’s capital!’ ” And so she answered: “A capital sin is a good sin.” We see herein the evil of neglect on the part of parents, and the necessity of religious instruction.

Question: Does this corruption of our nature remain in us after original sin is forgiven?
Answer: This corruption of our nature and other punishments remain in us after original sin is forgiven.

The Face of Socrates: We are all born with an inclination to evil rather than to good, and this is in consequence of original sin; but we can and should practice that self-correction in which virtue properly consists. A physiognomist, after a study of Socrates’ face, decided he was a man inclined to lewdness, anger, drunkenness, and many other vices. His disciples were indignant, but the philosopher (he lived in Greece four hundred years before Christ) stopped them, saying candidly: “Keep quiet; the man is quite right, for I would actually be what he says I am, did I not apply myself to the study of philosophy and the practice of virtue.” If a heathen by natural means can so overcome his evil inclinations, how much more in this respect can and should Christians accomplish by grace!
