Good Morning! Today we fast on Ash Wednesday, the start of the Lenten Season.

REGULATIONS FOR FAST AND ABSTINENCE
Fasting is to be observed by all 18 years of age and older, who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday. 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 no meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.
Ash Wednesday, March 6, 2019 and Good Friday, April 19, 2019 are days of fast and abstinence. All the Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence.
Fasting, almsgiving and prayer are the three traditional 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.

May your Lent be fruitful!
