What
are Holy Days of Obligation?
Discovering
hope and joy in the Catholic faith.
Holy
days of obligation “complete the Sunday observance by participation in the
principal liturgical feasts which honor the mysteries of the Lord, the Virgin
Mary, and the saints.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2043). Different
countries can have different holy days. In the United States we have six: the
Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God (January 1), the Ascension (40 days after
Easter), the Assumption (August 15), All Saints (November 1), the Immaculate
Conception (December 8), and Christmas (December 25).

To
many of us, prayer means using a Bible or a Rosary and committing exclusive
time to God. Yet St. Paul exhorts us to “pray without ceasing”(1 Thessalonians 5:17).
How can we do that and still function during the day?
Do
God’s will. It can be tempting to reserve God only for prayer time or Mass time
and go it alone the rest of the time. However, if we also determine to do God’s
will throughout the day, all that we do becomes a prayer and we “pray without
ceasing.”
Think
Godly thoughts. God is always with us. We can speak directly to him whenever we
want, especially when we need help or advice, or just want to talk. Of course,
this continuous conversation should include praising and thanking him and
saying, “I love you.” But this means rejecting thoughts that won’t lead to God
– resentments, grudges, or sinful thoughts. Eventually we will find that we are
praying without ceasing and our prayers will be fruitful beyond our imaginings.
Lent leads us back to God.
“For
gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in
punishment” (Joel
2:12). Lent may be a penitential season, but it is also a wonderful
reminder that no matter how we let sin interfere in our relationship with God,
he always wants us back. Gracious and merciful is he.
“Return
to me with your whole heart.” Throughout the year, sin creeps into our daily
lives almost without our noticing. A bad habit such as becoming preoccupied
with material goods or gossiping can keep us from loving God fully. Lent is a
time to examine our lives and sweep aside whatever keeps us from giving God our
whole heart.
“Rend
your hearts, not your garments.” God doesn’t just want outward acts of
repentance because they can be performed without real sorrow. Our Father wants
a change of heart. Start with Confession and then determine to practice virtues
such as prudence, temperance, and fortitude.
“Gather
the people, notify the congregation.” Help spread God’s love to his people.
Make
a point of inviting someone to attend Mass with you who may not attend
regularly or become more active in your parish to build it up. Lent is also the
time to attend Mass more often than just once a week and join in the prayers of
Christ’s Church.
If
you would like to receive a Holy Communion at home or hospital call Father
Pawel at any time.
Jezeli ktos pragnie otrzymac sakrament Komunii Swietej w domu lub szpitalu prosimy dzwonic do domu parafialnego o kazdej porze dnia i nocy.
