The theme for Lent this year is Amazing Grace. As a community, Chaminade will reflect on the amazing attributes of grace in our lives and allow the spirit of grace to enter our hearts through prayer, service, and forgiveness. “All these pieces, broken and scattered, in mercy gathered, mended and whole, empty handed, but not forsaken, I’ve been set free.” A list of Lenten activities is below.
Ash Wednesday is a day of fast and abstinence for Catholics. Abstinence from eating meat is to be observed on all Fridays during Lent. This applies to all persons 14 and older. The law of fast and abstinence on Ash Wednesday (March 1) and Good Friday (April 14) applies to all persons 18-years-old and younger than 59. Fast and abstinence mean that one full meatless meal per day may be eaten. Two other meatless meals may be taken sufficient to maintain strength, but together they should not equal a full meal. Liquids, including milk and fruit juice, may be taken between meals. If health or ability to work is affected, fasting does not oblige.
