Lenten Reminders
When you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden.
And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you. Mt. 6:18
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence.
What does it mean to fast? Accor ding to Canon Law, the law of fasting allows only one full meal or two small meals a day.
What does it mean to abstain from meat? Accor ding to Canon Law, the law of abstinence for bids the use of meat. Roman Catholics who
are 14 years of age and older are bound to abstain from meat. Disabled or feeble, pregnant women and nursing mothers are exempt.
Why should we fast? The ear liest and most often cited pur pose of fasting is penance, that is, atonement for sin. Thr ough fasting we
humble ourselves before God – setting aside that which sustains us and gives us pleasure – and turn ourselves toward our merciful Lord.
