Lent Reflections

Friends, today’s Gospel tells the story of the rich man and the poor man, Lazarus, at his gate. God is not pleased with this kind of economic inequality, and he burns with passion to set things right.

Lent begins Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2021
RULES FOR LENTEN FASTING/ABSTINENCE
Lent 2021 runs from Ash Wednesday, February 17 until the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Thursday, April 1.
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards. If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the “paschal fast” to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus, and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily his Resurrection. Of course, days of solemnity (e.g., all Sundays, St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary [March 19], and the Annunciation of the Lord [March 25]) are never days of fasting or abstinence. More information on fasting and abstinence can be found at www.usccb.org. -
