LENT
What are your priorities in life right now? Lent is an invitation to rearrange your priorities—to focus on what matters most and leave behind what matters least.
Lent is your invitation to take your spiritual life seriously.
Lent is the perfect time to form life-giving habits and abandon self-destructive habits.
Lent is your chance to discover the abundant life Jesus invites us to at Easter.
Take these 40 days to explore God’s dream for your life and it will change everything. Are you ready?
The season of Lent extends from Ash Wednesday, February 18, to the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, April 2, inclusive.
1. Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all Fridays of Lent.
2. Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of age is also bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
3. On these two days of fast & abstinence, only one full meatless meal is allowed. The other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to one’s needs, but altogether they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted on these two days, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the obligation of the law is modified. Because Lent is a special season for all Christians, we should not lightly excuse ourselves from these penitential practices.
4. To completely disregard the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful.
