Beginning this Tuesday, September 11
th, I am instituting an evening Mass at Holy Angels at 7pm. This will be permanent for Tuesday evenings going forward. The Masses on Tuesday evening will be for the purpose of praying for the Church during this difficult time. Up until now, we had Eucharistic Adoration on Tuesday nights from 7-8 pm. However, this Tuesday I am now bumping up Eucharistic Adoration to 6-7pm. Additionally, Confessions will be available during Adoration as well.
In addition to the new Tuesday evening schedule, I am also designating Tuesday as a day for us to fast. Obviously, due to some people’s age and health conditions, fasting may not be a prudent thing to do. For those whose health would allow for fasting, I am proposing foregoing dinner to attend Adoration and Mass on Tuesday nights. However, fasting does not always have to be in the form of food. Perhaps fasting from television or the internet or some other activity could take the place of a fast from food.
