Lent 2010 PDF Print E-mail

Regulations for Fasting and Abstinence

Fasting, Almsgiving and Prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and the catechumens, RCIA Adults, should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance for the preparation of Baptism or for the renewal of Baptism at Easter.

Ash Wednesday, February 17 and Good Friday, April 2 are days of fast and abstinence.  Fridays of Lent are also days of abstinence. You can read more about the Ash Wednesday by clicking here.

Fasting is to be observed by all 18 years of age and older, who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday.  On a Fast day, one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to one's needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices are allowed.

Abstinence is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On day of abstinence, no meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.

 A Lenten Calendar is available, providing daily scripture and reflections for the 2010 Lenten season.
