LENT
Lenten Regulations & Practices
Abstinence: Catholics over the age of 14 abstain from meat (beef, pork, chicken) on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and ALL Fridays of Lent.
Fasting: On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, Catholics between the ages fo 18 and 59 abstain from meat and limit themselves to ONE full meal those days.
Prayer: Lent is a time of increased prayer in one's life. Traditional practices include Scripture reading, reciting the Stations of the Cross and rising during the night for a prayer vigil. Lent is also an ideal time to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation in preparation for the celebration of Christ's Passion, Death and Resurrection.
Alms Giving: The observance of Christ's great sacrifice moves Christians to respond to the needs of their brothers and sisters in a special way during Lent. Many Christians combine almsgiving with fasting, giving to the poor the money they saved by eating, drinking or buying less and relying more on God's abundant grace. -

PRAYER FOR THE FAMILY
Let us continue to pray for all families around the world.
A Prayer for the World Meeting of FamiliesPhiladelphia 2015
God and Father of us all, in Jesus, your Son and our Savior,
you have made us your sons and daughters in the family of the Church.
May your grace and love help our families in every part of the world
be united to one another in fidelity to the Gospel.
May the example of the Holy Family, with the aid of your Holy Spirit
guide all families, especially those most troubled,
to be homes of communion and prayer
and to always seek your truth and live in your love.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Pray for us! -
PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
Diocesan Prayer for Vocations
O loving and gracious God, Father of all,
You bless Your people in every time and season and
provide for their needs through Your providential care.
Your Church is continually in need of young men and women
to offer their lives in service of the Gospel as
Priests, sisters, and brothers.
Open the hearts of Your sons and daughters to listen to
Your call in their lives. Give them the gift of understanding
to discern Your invitation to serve You and Your Church.
Give them the gift of courage to follow Your call.
May they have the spirit of young Samuel who found fulfillment
In his life when he said to You,
“Speak Lord, for Your servant is listening.”
Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church,
teach those who are called by Your Son
to give a joyful “YES!”
as you did to the Angel Gabriel at the Annunciation.
We ask this, through Christ, Our Lord.
Amen.
"If you are what you should be,
then you will set the world on fire."- St. Catherine of Siena
