GUIDELINES FOR LENT

The following is a list of Guidelines to help Catholics

observe this special season of prayer, penance and works of

charity.

· Good Friday, in particular, is one of the most important

penitential days of the liturgical year. It is a day of

both fast and abstinence. All Fridays in Lent are days

of abstinence.

· The rule of fasting states that only one full meal a day

can be taken. Two small meals, “sufficient to maintain

strength”, are allowed, but together should not equal

another full meal. Eating between meals breaks the

fast, but drinking liquids does not. The rule of fasting

obliges all Catholics from 18 to 59.

· Abstinence r efers to the eating of meat. The common

estimation of the community is used to determine what

falls under the category of meat. The rule of absti-

nence binds all Catholics 14 years or older.

· The substantial observance of the laws of fast and

abstinence is a serious obligation.

· Self-imposed fasting on the other weekdays of Lent is

recommended. Abstinence on all Fridays of the year is

also highly recommended.

· Parents and teachers should see to it that, even those who

are not bound by the laws of fast and abstinence because of

age, are brought up in an atmosphere that is conducive to a

sense of penance.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS

Fr. Harlow will lead the Stations of the Cross each Friday

evening during Lent at 7:00 PM in the Church. Prayer

cards with the Stations of the Cross are available as a way

of meditating on the Stations during the week as well.

Please make attendance a priority.

CRS RICE BOWL

Join our faith community—and nearly 14,000 Catholic com-

munities across the United States—in a life-changing Lenten

CONFESSIONS DURING LENT

end Masses. These are in addition to our regularly sched-

uled times.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

Genesis 15:5-12, 17-18 In a holy covenant, God promises

Abram a homeland.

Psalm 27 “The Lord is my light and my salvation.”

Philippians 3:17-4:1 Christ will change our lowly body

to conform with his glorified body.

Luke 9:28b-36 His face changed in appearance and his

Clothes became dazzling white.

Today, we hear two dramatic encounters with God. In the

dark of night, God leads Abraham into a covenant, promis-

ing that Abraham’s descendants will be as numerous as the

stars of the sky and live in what will be called the Promised

Land. In the Gospel, God speaks to Peter, John, and James

through the shadow of a cloud. Saint Paul, who had a dra-

matic encounter of his own with God, assures the Philippi-

ans and us that we will share in Christ’s glory in heaven.
