                                                      LENTEN REGULATIONS 2008
                                                           Diocese of Jefferson City
1. The Season of Lent begins this year on Ash Wednesday, February 6, 2008, and ends with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, March 20, 2008, when the Easter Triduum begins. Lent is the principal penitential season in the Church year. All the Christian faithful are urged to develop and maintain a voluntary program of self-denial (in addition to the following items), serious prayer, and the performing of deeds of charity and mercy, including the giving of alms.

2. Abstinence – Everyone 14 years or age and over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent.

3. Fast – Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 is required to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is permitted. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each person’s needs, but together these two should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids (including milk and fruit juices) are allowed.

4. Exempt from fasting and abstinence regulations: pregnant and/or nursing women, manual laborers engaged in heavy, strenuous work, people who are sick and/or frail, as well as military personnel deployed or in hostile environments. People in doubt regarding fasting and abstinence should consult their parish priest/pastoral administrator or deacon.

5. To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful.
