SEASON OF LENT:
Something to reflect on during Lent is "Do I really trust God? The Sacrament of Reconciliation gives us the opoportunity to return to God with our whole heart. Come before God with a thankful heart this week. Turn to God with your whole heart and ask Jesus to fill you with His love, mercy and grace. Develop your relationship with Christ through his Mother, Mary - she is the best example of someone who puts their trust fully in God's plan!
Good Friday is a day of Fast & Abstinence. Fasting means eating only one full meatless meal & two smaller meals. Fasting is required of those from ages 18 - 59 years. Abstinence means not eating meat for the entire day & is required of all people 14 years & older. Those with health conditions are excluded. “By doing these & other penance, we can realize that interior change of heart that is so necessary for all Christians.” (Catechism of Catholic Ch. 434 - 1437).
