Lenten
RegulationskLent begins on Ash
Wednesday. Lent is a penitential season of prayer, self-denial and helping
others. In this way, the whole church prepares for Easter with those who are
baptized.
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days
of fast and abstinence. The law of fasting binds everyone from 18 to
60 years of age. The law of abstinence binds everyone older than 14
years.
Catholics are obliged to receive Holy
Communion at least once per year between Ash Wednesday and Trinity
Sunday.
This Easter, invite a family member or friend to Mass.
