Lent: march 6 through April 27

Lent begins this Wednesday as we place ashes on our foreheads as a reminder that we are dust and to dust we shall return. Therefore we live each day for the eternity of heaven for which we have all been created. 
​
​During Lent, all Catholics are reminded about these observances:​​

* ASH WEDNESDAY & GOOD FRIDAY are days of FAST and ABSTINENCE
* ALL FRIDAYS of Lent are days of ABSTINENCE
What is fasting?
 - Eating only one full meal with two smaller meals, which together do not equal the full meal.
 - No snacking or eating between meals is allowed.
 - Fasting is obligated for all Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59. ​
What is abstinence?
- Eating no meat, and no soup or gravy made from meat.
- Abstinence obliges all Catholics over the age of 14.
- Sickness, hard manual labor, pregnancy, etc. automatically excuse a person from these obligations. 

For Lent, prayerfully consider not just “giving up” something but also “adding” to your prayer or almsgiving.
