LENTEN REGULATIONS
All Fridays in Lent are days of abstinence for all who have
completed their 14th year.
On weekdays of Lent there is no obligation to fast. However,
voluntary acts of self-denial are recommended.
Voluntary self-denial may include, in addition to fasting daily
Mass, Spiritual Studies, Lenten Devotions, Stations of the
Cross, saying the Rosary, deeds of kindness and mercy.
Good Friday is a day of fast and abstinence. Limit one full
meal for all who have completed their 18 th year and have not
reached their 60th year.
In Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting
their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of
reconciliation to us.
LORD JESUS, help me to recognize my sins and to ask for
forgiveness.
