Archdiocese of Neward Lenten Regulations
- The days of both Fast and Abstinence during Lent
are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. The
other Fridays of Lent are days of Abstinence. On a day of Fast, only one (1) full meal is
permitted. Those between the ages of 18 and
59 are obliged to fast.
On a day of Abstinence, no meat may be
eaten. Those who have reached the age of 14
are obliged by the law of abstinence.
- The obligation to observe the laws of Fast and
Abstinence “substantially”, or as a whole, is a
serious obligation.
- The Fridays of the year, outside of Lent, are
designated as days of penance, but each
individual may substitute for the traditional
abstinence from meat some other practice of
voluntary self-denial as penance.
- The time for fulfilling the Paschal Precept (Easter
Duty*) extends from the First Sunday of Lent,
February 26, 2012 to the Solemnity of the
Holy Trinity, June 3, 2012.
*Canon 920, §1. All the faithful, after they have been
initiated into the Most Holy Eucharist, are bound by the
obligation of receiving Communion at least once a year.
Our Lenten calendar offers many
opportunities for you to prepare for Easter.
