The document provides information about Lent and the Easter Triduum. It discusses that Lent is the 40-day period before Easter focusing on self-examination and fasting. Ash Wednesday recognizes mortality and repentance through ashes. The number 40 symbolizes testing and renewal. The Easter Triduum commemorates Jesus' last supper, trial, crucifixion, time in the tomb, and resurrection. John 19 scripture discusses Jesus' pierced side and fulfillment of prophecy. The Easter Vigil celebrates Christ's resurrection as the high point of the year.

Christ invites us to respond to evil, first of all, with a serious examination of conscience and the commitment to purify our lives. We, as Catholics, should encourage and participate in the frequent reception of the sacrament of penance — especially during the season of Lent.
Slides from presentation by Sister Paule Pierre Barbeau at the December 2016 meeting Benedictine Oblates of St Scholastica Monastery, Duluth MN. This was one of a series focusing on the Hard Sayings of St. Benedict, drawing its inspiration from Chapter 49 of his Rule, which begins "The life of a monk ought to be an everlasting Lent."
This service was used by individual religion classes during the Season of Lent. Individual students wrote and presented reflections on the biblical characters. We only finished part of this service, and will continue to create it during Lent, 2010.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

4. Lent Etymology
• The word Lent, which we employ to denote
the forty days' fast preceding Easter, originally
meant no more than the spring season. Still it
has been used from the Anglo-Saxon period to
translate the more significant Latin term
quadragesima, meaning the "forty days", or
more literally the "fortieth day"
5. • On the Christian calendar, Lent is the 40-day
period from Ash Wednesday to Easter. When it
was first observed in the fourth century, its
focus was on self-examination and self-denial
in preparation for Easter, and Christians used
fasting (abstaining from eating food) in the
early years as a visible demonstration of this
process. (Richard Wagner)
6. • Ash Wednesday, the day
after Mardi Gras, usually
begins with a service
where we:
-recognize our mortality,
-repent of our sins, and
-return to our loving God.
• We recognize life as a
precious gift from God,
and re-turn our lives
towards Jesus Christ.
7. Why ashes?
• In Jewish and Christian history, ashes are a
sign of mortality and repentance.
• This was their way of confessing their sins and
asking for forgiveness.
8. • While the ashes remind us of our mortality
and sin, the cross reminds us of Jesus'
resurrection (life after death) and forgiveness.
• It's a powerful, non-verbal way that we can
experience God's forgiveness and renewal as
we return to Jesus.

10. 40 (FORTY)
• It rained for 40 days and 40 nights.
(Genesis 7:12).
• Moses was on the mountain 40 days and 40 nights.
(Exodus 24:18, 34:1 - 28)
• The Israelites wandered 40 years.
(Numbers 32:13)
• Jesus fasted in the wilderness for 40 days.
(Mk. 1:12-15 , Mt 4,Lk. 4)
• Was seen on the earth for 40 days after His crucifixion.
(Acts 1:3)
11. Significance of the number 40 in the Bible
Mentioning 146 times in Scripture, the number 40
generally symbolizes a period of testing, trial or
probation and ends with a period of restoration,
revival or renewal.

20. Scripture: John 19:31-37
• 31 Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to
prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the
sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews
asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that
they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and
broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had
been crucified with him; 33 but when they came to
Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not
break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his
side with a spear, and at once there came out blood
and water.
21. • 35 He who saw it has borne witness -- his
testimony is true, and he knows that he tells
the truth -- that you also may believe. 36 For
these things took place that the scripture
might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be
broken." 37 And again another scripture says,
"They shall look on him whom they have
pierced."
22. "Not a bone of him shall be broken."
• The law of Moses stated that the lamb
sacrificed for the Passover feast must not have
any bones broken.
• "They shall leave none of it until the morning,
nor break a bone of it; according to all the
statute for the passover they shall keep it."
(Numbers 9:12).
24. "They shall look on him whom
they have pierced."
• …when they look on him whom they have
pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one
mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly
over him, as one weeps over a first-born."
(Zechariah 10:12)
25. What is the significance of the water
and blood flowing from Jesus' pierced
side?
• It is likely that John saw in it a sign of the
waters of baptism which cleanses us from sin
• and the cleansing blood of the Lord's Supper.
"This cup which is poured out for you is the
new covenant in my blood." (Luke 22:20)
26. • And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.
(Jn 3:14; cf. Numbers 21:9)
• And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will
draw everyone to myself." Jn 12:32
27. “They will look upon him whom they have
pierced”
Jn. 19:37
He himself bore our sins in his body upon the
cross, so that, free from sin, we might live for
righteousness.
By his wounds you have been healed.
For you had gone astray like sheep, but
you have now returned to the shepherd and
guardian of your souls.

32. EASTER TRIDUUM
The Last Supper, His trial and crucifixion, His time in the tomb,
and His Resurrection from the dead. In this way, "the mystery of
the Resurrection, in which Christ crushed death, permeates with
its powerful energy our old time, until all is subjected to him"
(CCC 1169). During these three days of contemplation and
anticipation the liturgies emphasize the sacrificial death of
Christ on the Cross, and the sacraments of baptism and the
Eucharist, by which the faithful enter into the life-giving Passion
of Christ and grow in hope of eternal life in Him.”
