I AM
Kindness and mercy are what the enslaved
people of Israel needed, and they came in the form of
deliverance. They came through a leader, Moses, who was
once plucked from the Nile River and was now herding his
father-in-laws sheep in the land of Goshen. The bush that
burned but was not consumed shows us that God is
inexhaustible mystery.
Moses awe and deference are mixed with a touching
conversational tone as he seeks to learn Gods name. And
God sweetly responds. The somewhat abstract I AM
distinguishes the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob
from the minor gods in the territory who are not. They
are helpless, powerless, and useless. Moses is to step out
into an amazing future, and God will be there with
outstretched arm. Just go and see, God seems to say.

St. Albert the Great Young Adults

Would you like to meet other Catholics in their
20s and 30s and better understand the Catholic
faith? This Lent, St. Albert the Great Young
Adults invites you to join us for the Symbolon
video series at neighboring St. Thomas More,
2825 West 81st Street in Chicago. We will meet
a few minutes before the 2:30 p.m. start time

Catholic teaching as it relates to contemporary
times and was filmed in Rome, the Holy Land

sessions through May, so stay tuned. Please
feel free to invite a friend or two.
FORGIVENESS
Those who cannot forgive others break the

PLEASE CHECK BEST USED DATES FOR FRESHNESS. THANK YOU
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Ash Wednesday is not observed by Eastern Christians, perhaps because, at
least in Orthodox practice, weekdays are not proper days for the Divine
Liturgy. Typically, Great Lent has a bit of a prelude. On Meatfare Sunday
the faithful have their last chance to eat meat for the entire period of Great
Lent. A week later, Cheesefare Sunday has dairy on the menu for the last
time until Pascha (Easter). At twilight on Cheesefare Sunday, officially called
Sunday of Forgiveness. the church gathers for Forgiveness Vespers. The faithful identify with Adam
and Eve, forgiving one another in order to experience Gods forgiveness. The desire to set aside all
bitterness, and to achieve harmony and reconciliation in the family and with ones neighbors gives a
remarkable energy to the transition into the days of penitence. At the end of the vespers liturgy, the dcor
of the church is changed to reflect the new season.
How is your Lenten fast going? Imagine the Eastern tradition. No meat, no fish, no dairy, no wine or
oil. Some traditions permit vegetable oil; everyone goes without olive oil. Happily, strict fasting is not
permitted on the Sabbath or the Lords Day, so on Saturday and Sunday the fast is somewhat mitigated,
and wine and oil are allowed. If the Feast of the Annunication falls during Great Lent, then fish may be
served. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
