Ash Wednesday, February 17th and Good Friday, April 2nd are days of
fast and abstinence. Fridays of Lent are also days of abstinence. Fasting
is to be observed by all 18 years of age through age 59. On a fast day
one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain
strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they
should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not
permitted but liquids, including milk and juices, are allowed. Abstinence
is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence not
meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be
seriously affected, the law does
not oblige. When in doubt concerning fast and abstinence, the parish priest should be consulted. Fasting,
almsgiving and prayer are the three disciplines of Lent. The faithful
and catechumens should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit
of penance and of preparation for baptism or of renewal of baptism at
Easter.

February is dedicated to The Holy Family
Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod.
This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the
prophet, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
Matthew 2:13-15 RSV-SCE O most loving Jesus, Who by Thy surpassing virtues and the example
of Thy home life didst hallow the household in which Thou didst choose
to live while on earth, mercifully look down upon this family, whose
members, humbly prostrate before Thee, implore Thy protection. Remember
that we are Thine, bound and consecrated to Thee by a special devotion.
Protect us in Thy mercy, deliver us from danger, help us in our
necessities, and impart to us strength to persevere always in the
imitation of Thy Holy Family, so that, by serving Thee and loving Thee
faithfully during this mortal life, we may at length give Thee eternal
praise in heaven.
O Mary, dearest Mother, we implore thy assistance, knowing that thy divine Son will hearken to thy petition.
And do thou, most glorious patriarch, St. Joseph, help us with thy
powerful patronage, and place our petitions in Mary's hands, that she
may offer them to Jesus Christ. Amen. |
