LENTEN GUIDELINES



  1) Abstinence on all the Fridays of Lent, and on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday
   • No meat may be eaten on days of abstinence.
   • Catholics 14 years and older are bound to abstain from meat.Invalids, pregnant and nursing mothers are exempt.
  (Fish is the usual substitute meal)

 2) Fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday
  • Fasting means having only one full meal to maintain one's strength. Two smaller, meatless and penitential meals are permitted according to one's needs, but they should not together equal the one full meal. Eating solid foods between meals is not permitted. Catholics who have reached the completion of the eighteenth year to the beginning of the sixtieth year are bound to fast. Again, invalids, pregnant and nursing mothers are exempt.

Lenten Reading and Reflections
Let this Lent be not just another Lent, but the beginning of a new life, with new good life long habits making Jesus as the centre of our lives. The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis helps to concentrate more on interior life and withdraw from the lure of the world.  The Imitation is perhaps the most widely read Christian devotional work next to the Bible, and is regarded as a devotional and religious classic.

The Chosen
Give up streaming for Lent? Ok, probably not. But consider seeing Jesus through the eyes of those who knew Him by streaming The Chosen. A wonderful way to journey with Christ this Lent. Best part is season 1 is available free on YouTube! 

About Season 1: A charismatic fisherman drowning in debt. A troubled woman wrestling with real demons. A gifted publican ostracized by his family and his people. A religious leader struggling with his beliefs. See Jesus through the eyes of those who met Him.
