Fasting and Abstinence

Lent is a season of penance, and fasting and absti-

nence are essential means by which we celebrate

the Lenten season. The laws of the Catholic Church

(canons 1251-1252 of the Code of Canon Law) on

fasting and abstinence are as follows:

Abstinence: All Catholics 14 years and older are

obliged to abstain from eating flesh meat on Ash

Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent.

Fasting: Catholics aged 18 to 59 inclusive are

obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

On these days of fasting, one full meal is permitted

as well as two smaller meals that, if combined,

would be less than a full meal.

Prayer for the Unborn

Heavenly Father, You created us in your own image

and You desire that not even the least among us

should perish. In Your love for us, You entrusted

your only Son to the Holy Virgin Mary. Now in

Your love, protect against the wickedness of the

devil, those little ones to whom You have given the

gift of life. I ask that you help reach those consider-

ing abortion and by Your Grace, change their hearts

and protect the unborn. Bless all efforts to

protect human life from all threats to the Dignity

of Life from Conception to Natural Death.

Virgin of Guadalupe, Patroness of unborn

children, we implore your intercession for

every child at risk of abortion.

Theatre, on the ground level of Egan Hall.

Tickets are $4 for adults and $2 for students and
