Lenten
Regulations
Abstinence-
everyone 14 yrs or older are to abstain
from meat on the Fridays of Lent and Good
Friday.
Fast-
Everyone 18 yrs or older but under the age
of 60 is also bound to fast on Good
Friday.
On
these two days the law of fast allows only
one full meal a day, but does not prohibit
taking some food during the day, so long
as it does not constitute another full
meal. Drinking liquids during the day is
permitted.
When
health or ability to work would be
seriously affected, the law does not
oblige. In doubt concerning fast or
abstinence, a priest assigned to pastoral
ministry or confessor should be consulted.
In the spirit of penance, the faithful
should not lightly excuse themselves from
this obligation.

8:00am mass, for Stations of the Cross.

Reflections
Today’s
Reflection
Deuteronomy
26:4-10
Lent is more than a season of
preparation for Easter. It is a time for
the Christian community to repent and be
reconciled with God and one another. It is
a time of journeying with and praying for
the catechumens who will be initiated into
the Church at the Easter Vigil. We also
pray for those baptized candidates who
will be confirmed and/or will be receiving
the Eucharist for the first time.
Finally, it is a time to appreciate
and profess our faith, as God’s
people do in today’s first reading.
As they celebrate a liturgy of
thanksgiving, Moses retells the story of
the marvelous way God guided and saved
them. He reminds the people that God sees
their suffering and hears their cry for
help.
1. Have you ever been asked to leave
familiar things behind and go into the
unknown?
2. If you have, you know something
of what Abraham experienced. How did God
help you at that time?
3. What other help did you
have?
Next
Week's Reflection
4:1-13
Lent is a period of forty days
during which the whole Church renews
itself through prayer and fasting. Today
we are reminded that the Israelites
wandered for forty years in the desert
after God led them out of captivity. We
are now observing the forty days of Lent.
During the Easter Triduum, we will
celebrate being led from slavery into
freedom.
According to today’s gospel,
Jesus retreated to the desert for forty
days to prepare for his mission after
being baptized by John the Baptist. Luke
dramatically describes what happened to
Jesus while he was alone in that deserted
place. The devil tempts Jesus with
promises of bread (a symbol for material
comforts), of power (authority over
others), and of false glory (to be gained
by daring to test God). But Jesus defeats
the devil by defending himself with
God’s word from the Old
Testament.
Even then the devil does not give
up. He “awaits another
opportunity” to tempt Jesus.
1. How might you use one of these
quotes to protect yourself in a time of
temptation?
