Just a bit from Fr. Schmidt Coun�ng the Days…

Every year around this +me I hear discussions about how many days are really part of Lent or if Sundays are includ-

ed, so I did the math to try and set the record straight, but it is not exactly clear-cut.

The first oddity we encounter is the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday. Now why would a season of the liturgical

year start in the middle of the week? Most likely, this happened back when every day of Lent was a day of fas+ng—

fas+ng not in the loose sense of giving something up for Lent, but in the strict sense of ea+ng only what is necessary

to maintain strength and not ea+ng between meals. The excep+on was always Sundays because in honor of the Res-

urrec+on, it was never thought appropriate to fast on Sundays or Solemni+es. The six weeks of six days of fas�ng

came out to 36 days, so they added the four days leading up to the First Sunday of Lent to make it an even 40 days of

fas�ng (46 days of Lent, including the six Sundays).

The current Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the Calendar (1969) give us yet another way of coun+ng the

days, which excludes the Easter Triduum. In paragraph 28, it says, “The forty days of Lent run from Ash Wednesday up

to but excluding the Mass of the Lord’s Supper” on Holy Thursday, which actually comes out to just shy of 44 days of

Lent. If this seems confusing to you, it should be. The four days that were originally added to make for 40 total days

of fas�ng now give us four extra days of Lent.

Regardless, we s+ll talk about Lent having 40 days because this symbolically harkens back to the 40 days Jesus

spent in the desert—a@er His bap+sm in the Jordan by John and before His public ministry—and the 40 years Moses

spent leading the Israelites through the desert out of slavery in Egypt.

Today, Catholics ages 18 to 58 are s+ll required to fast in the strict sense on just two days, Ash Wednesday and

Good Friday. Fas+ng on these days means limi+ng oneself to one full meal. Two addi+onal smaller meals are al-

lowed if necessary to maintain strength, but these smaller meals together should amount to less food than the full

meal. Ea+ng between meals is not allowed.

Ash Wednesday and every Friday of Lent are s+ll days of abs�nence from meat for all Catholics age 14 and older,

but on these days the Church allows us fish, eggs, milk

products, and condiments of any kind, even when

these are made from animal fat.

As for our own Lenten prac+ces, giving something

up or doing something extra in the areas of prayer,

fas+ng, and almsgiving, the Church does not legislate

how we do these. You can decide to maintain them

throughout the season of Lent, even on Sundays and

Solemni+es—as long as they are not in conflict with

giving thanks for the Resurrec+on—or you can decide

to take a break from them on the Sundays of Lent. May

the Holy Spirit lead you throughout the season of Lent,

as He led our Lord Jesus in the desert.

Word of Life “[The Gospel of Life] is therefore meant to be a precise and vigorous reaffirmation of the value of human life and its inviolability, and at the same time a pressing appeal addressed to each and every person, in the name of God: respect, protect, love and serve life, every hu-man life! Only in this direction will you find jus-tice, development, true freedom, peace and happiness!” (The Gospel of Life 5)

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the unborn, pray for us.

St. Joseph, patron of the unborn, pray for us.
