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.

No matter where you are in your journey with Jesus Christ, this TV show is for you! Here at Good Shepherd, starting this Lent we are offering to show Season one of The Chosen for families to experience together. The program will start Thursday February 23rd at 6:30 PM.

Imagine if you could see the life of Jesus through the eyes of the people that walked on Earth with him – the disciples, Mary his mother, the Pharisees, the children, and those he healed. What would that look like? Now you can experience it!

The Chosen is the first-ever-multi-season TV show about the life of Jesus. Created outside of
the Hollywood system, The Chosen allows us to see Him through the eyes of those who knew Jesus.

The Chosen stays faithful to the Gospels and at the same time tells us a story that is in between the lines of scripture. This T.V. series brings to life those people that are mentioned in the Bible, using the historical context of life at the time of Jesus.

We at Good Shepherd believe that as you encounter the characters each week for the next eight weeks, you will build a new curiosity about the life of Jesus and those that followed him when he walked the earth.
​

You may have already watched The Chosen on your own. But we promise you, the way you will experience it with fellow parishioners and your families, and with guidance from others who have insights into the program, you will gain a new perspective of the Story of Jesus in the Scriptures. You can sign up to view the series with us starting on February 11th and 12th. ​

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.
