LENTEN REGULATIONS: Wednesday, February 17, we begin our journey through Lent. Each Lent we are asked to carefully
examine our life and to look for ways to strengthen our faith life. We are given two wonderful
guidelines in the form of Abstinence and Fasting as well as a beautiful gift in
the Sacrament of Reconciliation to help us. These guidelines and the Sacrament continually call us back
to a closer relationship with our Lord and brother Jesus. Just to refresh our
memories: The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be available every Wednesday
evening during Lent (The Light is on for You), as well as every Saturday at 3:15pm
throughout the year. Abstinence: Catholics over 14 are bound to the obligation of
abstinence. Abstinence is to be
observed on Ash Wednesday (Feb. 17) and all Fridays of Lent. On days of abstinence, meat may not be
used at all. Fast: Catholics over 18 and up to the beginning of their 60th year
are bound to the obligation of fasting.
Ash Wednesday (Feb. 17) and Good Friday (April 2) are days of
fasting. On these days, only one
full meal is allowed. Two other
meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each
one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted,
but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed. Regarding other weekdays of Lent,
participation in daily Mass, voluntary observance of fasting, traditional
Lenten Devotions of self-denial are also recommended. |
