Those who are bound to fast may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength according to each ones needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted. Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years or older on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and on all Fridays of Lent. The determi- nation of certain days as obligatory days of penance should not be understood as limiting the occasions for Christian pen- ance. We celebrate Ash Wednesday, the first day of the liturgical season of Lent. In this season, we prepare ourselves to celebrate the high point of our Chris- tian life, Easter. Each year, the readings for Ash Wednesday are the same. They call us to a change of heart and teach us about the traditional Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. These disciplines are to be part of the Christian life during every season, but during the season of Lent, we renew our commitment to them. The meaning be- hind tracing a cross on our foreheads with ashes (the liturgical sign of Ash Wednesday) is a sum- mary of our Christian life. On one level, the ashes remind us of our origin and our death. (In the words of the prayer said when we receive ashes: Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.”) The ashes are also the sign of our victory: the cross of Christ. In his death and resurrection, Christ conquered death. Our destiny as Christians is to receive the victory over death that Christ won for us. We acknowledge that victory when we turn away from sin and are faithful to the gospel,words from the alternative prayer when we are signed with ashes.

Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME BEGINS 2:00 AM, SUNDAY, MARCH 10, 2019

THE LENTEN SEASON A distinction is to be made between Lent and the Easter Triduum. Lent ends with the beginning of the Triduum on Holy Thursday. “Lent runs from Ash Wednes-day until the Mass of the Lord’s Supper exclusive on Holy Thursday.”

FASTING AND ABSTINENCE

Fasting is to be observed on Ash

Wednesday and Good Friday by all Cath-

olics who are 18 years of age but not yet

59. Those who are bound to fast may take

only one full meal. Two smaller meals

are permitted if necessary to maintain

strength according to each one’s needs,

but eating solid foods between meals is

not permitted. Abstinence from meat is to

be observed by all Catholics 14 years or

older on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday

and on all Fridays of Lent. The determi-

nation of certain days as obligatory days

of penance should not be understood as

limiting the occasions for Christian pen-

ance.

We celebrate Ash Wednesday, the first day of the liturgical season of Lent. In this season, we prepare ourselves to celebrate the high point of our Chris-tian life, Easter. Each year, the readings for Ash Wednesday are the same. They call us to a change of heart and teach us about the traditional Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. These disciplines are to be part of the Christian life during every season, but during the season of Lent, we renew our commitment to them. The meaning be-hind tracing a cross on our foreheads with ashes (the liturgical sign of Ash Wednesday) is a sum-mary of our Christian life. On one level, the ashes remind us of our origin and our death. (In the words of the prayer said when we receive ashes: “Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.”) The ashes are also the sign of our victory: the cross of Christ. In his death and resurrection, Christ conquered death. Our destiny as Christians is to receive the victory over death that Christ won for us. We acknowledge that victory when we “turn away from sin and are faithful to the gospel,” words from the alternative prayer when we are signed with ashes.
