Lent at St. Andrew's
Ash Wednesday, March 6, 2019
Masses: 8 AM, 6 PM and 7:15 PM (Misa in Espanol)
Liturgy of the Word with Ash Distribution 12:10 PM
This is a day of fast and abstinence.
Please see "What's Happening Now" on Calendar tab for Lenten events at St. Andrew's.Diocese of Yakima Lenten Regulations
"All Christians, by the nature of their lives, are obliged to live in a spirit of penance whereby our exterior acts of of prayer, self-denial and charity bear witness to the inner values of our Faith."
The Church specifies certain practices of penance during the season of Lent.
1. Self-imposed observance of fasting on all weekdays of Lent is strongly recommended.
2. Catholics are obliged to fast and abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, March 6, and
Good Friday, April 19.
3. The Fridays of Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.
4. Catholics age 14 and older are bound by the law of abstinence.
5. The law of abstinence forbids the eating of meat.
6. The law of fasting is obligatory for Catholics from the age 18 to 59.
7. The law of fasting prescribes that only one full meal be taken per day; the other meals should be significantly smaller, but in accord with one's health needs. Fasting assumes avoidance of food between meals.
The "substantial obsservance" of these laws is a grave obligation; that is:
1. Anyone who neglects all forms of penance, or deliberately shows contempt for the Church's penitential discipline, may be guilty of serious sin.
2. Occasional failure to observe the penitential regulations is not seriously sinful.
3. Proportionately grave circumstances -- sickness, dietary needs, social obligation -- excuse one from the obligation of fast and abstinence, but not from seeking out other forms of penance.
