TRADITIONAL LENTEN DISCIPLINES
Fasting & Abstinence: Catholics
of age
14 and older abstain from meat on Ash
Wednesday,
Good Friday and all the Fridays of
Lent.
In addition, on Ash Wednesday and Good
Friday,
Catholics from age 18-59 fast, limiting
themselves
to one full meal and two smaller meals
each
day.
Prayer: Catholics are encouraged to
pray
more during Lent, especially with Scripture.
Lent is also an ideal time to receive
the
Sacrament of Reconciliation in preparation
for the celebration of Christ's Passion,
Death and Resurrection.
Almsgiving: Moved by the sacrifice
of Christ,
many Christians combine almsgiving
with fasting,
giving to the poor the money they saved
by
eating, drinking or buying less as
they rely
more upon God's abundant grace.
