The Fatima Prayer
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell,
and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need
of Thy mercy. Amen.
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy
protection, implored thy help or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this
confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and
sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.

Lenten Guidelines
The Catholic Church calls all believers to certain
practices that emphasize the communal nature of
repentance, especially during the Lenten season.
These common practices include:

Fasting and Abstinence on Ash Wednesday
and Good Friday: Traditionally, fasting
consists of eating only one meal, with the
possibility of two smaller snacks that do not
add up to a single full meal.
 Abstinence from Meat on Fridays: Canon
1251 specifies that Catholics refrain from
eating meat on Fridays, as an act of
penitence. In the United States, Catholics
are permitted to substitute another penance
outside of the season of Lent. During Lent,
however, all Catholics are obliged not to eat
meat on Fridays.
 The season of Lent is a penitential time, and
should be marked by some form of self-denial.
 The law of abstinence applies to all persons
over the age of fourteen; the law of fasting
applies to those between the age of 18 and
59. Those who are sick, pregnant, or nursing,
or whose health would adversely be affected
by fasting or abstinence should not consider
themselves bound by these norms.
