TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — God gives the law through Moses (Exodus 20:1-17 [1-3, 7-8, 12-17]) or Exodus 17:3-7. Psalm — Lord, you have the words of everlasting life (Psalm 19) or Psalm 95. Second Reading — We proclaim Christ crucified (1 Corinthians 1:22-25) or Romans 5:1-2, 5-8. Gospel — Many began to believe in Jesus’ name when they saw the signs he was doing (John 2:13-25) or John 4:5-42 [5-15, 19b-26, 39a, 40-42].

LENTON REGULATIONS Every Catholic, to enter more deeply into the life of Christ, is to par cipate in some way in the spiritual and peniten al disciplines of Lent. The regula ons for the Catholic Church in the United States are as follows: Ash Wednesday and

Good Friday are days of fast and abs nence. The other Fridays of Lent are days of abs nence from meat.

The obliga on to abstain from meat binds Catholics 14 years of age and older. The obliga on to fast, limi ng oneself to one full meal and two lighter meals during the day, binds Catholics from the age of 18 to 59. Those younger or older are encouraged to voluntarily embrace these disciplines in so far as they are able.

Fas ng and abs nence should never endanger one’s health. Avoiding some form of permissible entertainment or performing sacrificial acts of charity, for example, could replace the fas ng and abs nence when health is a considera on. Finally, with any peniten al discipline, both the le er and the spirit are to be maintained. For example, replacing meat with a gourmet seafood meal is not in keeping with peniten al prac ce.

Also, the increasingly popular prac ce of hos ng “crawfish boils” and entertainments on Good Friday is highly inappropriate. Good Friday remains an extraordinary and solemn day on which we recall the suffering and death of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Good Friday should remain a day of fas ng, abs nence, prayer, penance, and interior and exterior quiet.
