Lenten Regulations 2016

Fridays in Lent are days of abstinence Lenten Fast and abstinence – During the Season of Lent, the Church urges all the faithful to reflect a spirit in penance in their daily life through per-forming acts of fast and abstinence. “Fasting” requires that only one full meal be tak-en per day. Two other smaller meals maybe taken during the day to maintain physical strength, but these two meals together should not equal a full meal in quantity. Fasting obliges all those who have reach the age of 18 and continue to oblige until age 59. Those not specifically obliged to fast are encouraged to join in the discipline of fasting to the extent that they are able. “Abstinence” prohibits individuals from eating meat on a particular day. Abstinence obliges all those who have reached the age of 14 and contin-ues to oblige throughout their entire life. Those not specifically obliged to abstain from eating meat are encouraged to join in this discipline to the extent that they are able.

Las Regulaciones Cuaresmales 2016 Los Viernes durante La Cuaresma son días de ayuno y abstinencia de carne. “Ayuno” es obligatorio desde los 18 años hasta 59 años de edad. El ayuno pide que solamente se tenga una comida completa durante el día. Se po-drán tener dos comidas ligeras para mantener la fuerza, pero tomadas juntas no deberán igular a otra comida complete. La conciencia individual deberá decider si alguna causa para ser excusado es apropiada.

“ Días de Abstinencia” Todos los viernes durante

la Cuaresma son días de abstinencia de carne. Hay

una obligación seria de observer estas practicas

penetenciales de una forma substancial. La Absti-

nencia oblige desde los 14 años en adelante.

Je- sus said

to them in reply, "Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent,

you will all perish as they did!" - Lk 13:2-3

Jesús les hizo este comentario: "¿Piensan ustedes que aquellos galileos, porque les sucedió esto, eran más pecadores que todos los demás galileos? Ciertamente que no; y si ustedes no se ar-

repienten, perecerán de manera semejante". - Lc 13, 2-3
