• Catholics 14 years and older are bound to abstain from meat.Invalids, pregnant and nursing mothers are exempt.

• 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.

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. Read Imitation Free on Gutenberg.org>> Download the Imitation Audiobook Free on Librivox.org>> |
