Fast and Abstinence Most Catholics are familiar with the Church’s Lenten discipline of fast and abstinence. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fasting – only one full meal, and two smaller meals permitted. Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence – refraining from eating meat. The law of fasting applies to those folks age 18 to 60 and the laws of abstinence to all Catholics age 14 and up. Of course, this is the bare minimum the Church asks of each of us. We are all encouraged to go above and beyond the call of duty during this holy season. But why fast and abstain at all? Most religions include such dietary regulations during certain (usually penitential) times of year. Some traditions – such as the kosher dietary restrictions for Jews – are followed all year round. Fast and abstinence seem to speak to a very fundamental religious impulse in us human beings. For we Christians the fast and abstinence of Lent remind us that our faith is not some “other-worldly” spirituality. The God we worship is not just some vague idea or philosophical concept, but has taken on our own flesh and blood in Jesus Christ. Faith cannot be divorced from daily life. In fact, authentic faith in Jesus permeates everything we do – including such mundane things as eating and drinking. Thus fasting and abstaining are meant to serve as a sign of what is happening in our lives – that we are becoming more and more attuned to Jesus Christ. Repeatedly the Church’s liturgy of Lent echoes the words of Jesus when tempted to turn stones into bread: “Not on bread alone are we to live, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Following the Church’s regulations regarding fast and abstinence is just empty ritualism if not accompanied by a deeper conversion to Christ. In fact, the Bible is quite clear about God’s attitude towards such empty gestures. In Isaiah 58 we read: Is this the manner of fasting I wish, of keeping a day of penance: That a man bow his head like a reed, and lie in sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD? This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own... If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech; If you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted... This spirit of fasting is much more demanding than simply avoiding certain foods. Yet it is precisely what our Lenten fast and abstinence are meant to call us to. I found the reflection “Fast From … Feast On” online the other day. It is printed opposite and can serve as a further reflection for us during these days of Lent.

Peter’s Patter The students in fifth and sixth grades worked to close in on the end of their Science Fair projects. Once they return from break, they be spending time wrapping up their project by constructing their presentation boards that will be displayed in the church basement the weekend of March 14-15. We hope you can take a few moments after Mass that weekend to see what the students have spent 7 weeks working on! Fifth through eighth grades had been busy with extra activities during February. On February 13, they enjoyed a day at the Chippewa Moraine Ice Age Center in New Auburn. They were able to learn how the area’s landforms were made thousands of years ago. Students also enjoyed snowshoeing and playing different games that voyageurs of long-ago may have played. Two afternoons were spent preparing and tying fleece blankets to donate to local law enforcement agencies. The agencies will distribute the blankets to people who have experienced traumatic events. It was a great project to begin the season of Lent. In Religion, after finishing their study of the 10 Commandments and the Beatitudes, the students have been studying the Last Supper and Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Southwestern Asian Civilizations have been the topic of study in social studies. The ancient Israelites, Phoenicians, and Persians were discussed. In science, the students learned the scientific names of many bones in the skeletal system. They also studied other systems in the human body.

During the Lenten season we avoid using this word in our school and at church. Lent is a time for us to reflect on the suffering that Jesus endured so that our souls could become pure and we could have everlasting life. At St. Charles Borromeo School every student recently colored an alleluia banner. These banners were buried in a “tomb” and you are invited to come see it at our school. We will open the “tomb” after Easter and once again rejoice and sing “Alleluia”. We will celebrate new life and be happy that it is Spring. What will you be praying and waiting for as we journey towards Easter?
