PREPARING FOR LENT:<br />
Good Friday is a day of fast and abstinence.<br />
Fridays of Lent are also days of abstinence.<br />
Fasting is to be observed by all 18 years of age through<br />
age 59. On a fast day, one full meal is allowed. Two<br />
other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be<br />
taken according to each one’s needs, but together they<br />
should not equal another full meal. Eating between<br />
meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk<br />
and juices, are allowed.<br />
Abstinence is observed by all 14 years of age and older.<br />
On days of abstinence no meat is allowed. Note that<br />
when health or ability to work would be seriously<br />
affected, the law does not oblige. When in doubt<br />
concerning fast and abstinence, the parish priest<br />
should be consulted.<br />
Fasting, Almsgiving and Prayer are the three<br />
disciplines of Lent. The faithful and catechumens<br />
should undertake these practices seriously in a<br />
spirit of penance, and of preparation for baptism<br />
or of renewal of baptism at Easter.<br />
Easter Candle<br />
The Easter Candle is lit at all Masses on Pentecost<br />
Sunday, and, if possible, at Evening Prayer. The Easter<br />
season ends with the conclusion of Vespers. The Easter<br />
Candle is then placed near the baptismal font/pool<br />
where it is displayed with honor. In the baptismal rite,<br />
the candles of the newly baptized are lit from the Easter<br />
Candle. Ordinary time resumes Monday following<br />
Pentecost.<br />
