REGULATIONS FOR LENT & THE EASTER TRIDUUM
Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian year. Priests, religious, and laity are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of voluntary self-denial, attentiveness to prayer, and especially to works of charity and mercy.
Everyone of 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, February 18, and all the Fridays of Lent, including Good Friday. On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, only one full meatless meal is allowed for ages 18-59. 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 on these two days, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices, are allowed. When health or ability to work is seriously affected, the law does not oblige. To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is a serious matter. May your Lenten Journey bring you closer to the cross and our Resurrected Savior.
