This Wednesday is the beginning of Lent. It is a time when we should prepare for Christ’s Death and Resurrection by special acts of prayer, penance and almsgiving. We, as practicing Catholics, are expected to make Lent a part of our spiritual lives.
There are only two fast days for those 21-59 years old – Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. That means one full meal and nothing between your regular meal times unless excused because of health. Every Friday is a day of abstinence from meat for those 14 and older.
Ash Wednesday and the next six Wednesdays there will be Mass at 7:00 p.m. As usual on Friday, Exposition after the last Mass, Rosary and Benediction at 5:00 p.m., Stations of the Cross at 7:00 p.m.
