From Msgr. Frank Chiodo
My Dear Fellow Pilgrims, I use the term “Pilgrims” because all of us are going on a journey for forty days, called Lent. This Lenten journey takes us through the desert of self denial and penance to the Palm Sunday entrance into Jerusalem, the agony in the garden, the upper room and the institution of the Eucharist, to the cross of Calvary and finally to the empty tomb. On this journey, we are sustained by a deeper and more intense prayer life, and bolstered by acts of fasting and almsgiving. The Ash Wednesday Mass begins our journey. We are reminded of our mortality and our need for conversion of heart. Masses on Ash Wednesday are 7am, 8:45am, 5:30pm, 7pm Latin & 8:30pm Spanish. Every Friday during Lent at 5:30pm we will pray the Stations of the Cross. There will be a fish fry 5 to 7 every Friday. I encourage you to take this journey seriously and to put yourself entirely at the disposal of the Lord during this forty day trek from ashes to Easter. During Lent the follow Penitential Discipline is fundamental and required.
All the Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence = no meat.
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of Fast and Abstinence. Abstinence... Is a penitential practice consisting of refraining from the consumption of meat and is to be observed by all Catholics who are 14 years of age and older. Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and the Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence. Pastors and parents are encouraged to see that children who are not bound by the obligation to fast and abstain are led to appreci-ate an authentic sense of penance. Fast and Abstinence… In addition to abstinence, fasting is to be observed by all Catholics between the ages of 18-59 years (inclusive). On days of fasting, one full meal is allowed. Two smaller meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids are allowed. Note: If a person is unable to observe the above regulations due to ill health or other serious reasons, they are urged to practice other forms of self-denial that are suitable to their condition. Have a Blessed Lent.
