HOW TO LIVE AN EXCELLENT LENT
BASIC 1. MASS EVERY SUNDAY, NO EXCUSES It’s the Third Commandment: “Honor the Lord’s Day”. There is no real spiritual growth without Sunday Mass.2. FASTING AND ABSTINENCEAsh Wednesday and Good Friday, ages 18-59: one full meal and two smaller meals, with no snacks between meals.3. CONFESSION
Ash Wednesday and all Fridays in Lent, ages 14+: we don’t eat meat. That’s the minimum fast that the Church sets.All Catholics go to Confession at least once a year. This is the best time to do it. But if you’re not sure if your marriage situation allows you to go to Confession, ask a priest. This year’s “Confessions Monday” is April 15 from 3—9 PM.DEEPER 1. YOUR LENTEN RESOLUTION Make it simple and spiritually focused: one daily prayer moment and one daily sacrifice. The simpler, the better.2. WAY OF THE CROSS (“VIA CRUCIS”)Every Friday here at church, we’ll pray the Way of the Cross: 6:15 PM in English and 7:30 PM in Spanish.3. OUR MISSIONIn Spanish from April 8-10 in the evenings, and in English on April 7 in the afternoon, we’ll have special Lenten preaching and worship to help us get ready for Easter.DEEPEST 1. LEARN MORE We recommend the videos available free at Formed.org: use our parish code, 4CFJFP. They even have videos for kids. Or do “Best Lent Ever” at DynamicCatholic.com.2. A RETREATSpanish-language retreats every weekend: CentroBronx.com. There’s an English retreat for teens March 15-17.3. A LASTING DECISIONWhatever you keep doing daily after Lent will be the foundation for your ongoing spiritual growth this year. -
