Traditional Lenten Disciplines
Fasting & Abstinence
Catholics aged 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 held on Saturdays from 4:00-5:00 pm or by appointment.
Almsgiving
Moved by the sacrifice of Christ, many Christians combine almsgiving with fasting, giving to the poor the money saved by eating, drinking or buying less as they rely more upon God’s abundant grace.
