Fasting and Abstinence
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory
days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of
abstinence.
For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the
norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until
age 59. when fasting , a person is permitted to eat
one full meal. Two smaller meals may also be
taken, but not to equal a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence form meat are binding upon
members of the Latin Catholic Church form age 14
towards. Members of the eastern Catholic Churches
are to observe the particular law of their own sui
iuris Church.
A Reflection on Lenten Fasting
If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued
until the Easter Vigil ( on Holy Saturday night) as
the “paschal fast” to honor the suffering and death
of the Lord Jesus, and to prepare ourselves to share
more fully and to celebrate more readily his Resurrection.
LIFT Worship Night
Join LIFT Ministries on Friday, March 27th @ 7pm
for an inspiring night of worship at the Cathedral of
the Holy Cross in Boston with guest speaker Mother
Adela Galindo. The night will include uplifting music, a relevant talk, confessions, Eucharistic Adoration, and is FREE to attend and open to ALL
