REGULATIONS FOR FASTING & ABSTINENCE Ash Wednesday, March 6, 2019 and Good Friday, April 19, 2019 are days of fast and abstinence. Fridays of Lent are also days of abstinence. FASTING is to be observed by all 18 years of age and older, who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday. On a fast day, one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one s need, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices, are allowed. ABSTINENCE is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence, no meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. When in doubt concerning fast and abstinence, the parish priest should be consulted. Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and catechumens should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and of preparation for baptism or of renewal of baptism at Easter. 3

Join us for Lenten Suppers Beginning Friday March 8 th, please join us for this special time of prayer, reflection, and supper as we journey through Lent together. Stations of the Cross at 6 pm, followed by our Lenten Supper. There will be a variety of foods so that you may choose something that will respect the fasting choices you have made this Lent. Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Parish, Hampton: Each Friday of Lent (except Good Friday). Note: 1 st Friday Hour of Prayer will not take place during Lent so that we may be able to attend Stations of the Cross. There will be no Life Teen on Sunday, March 3rd. Many of us at different points in our lives have felt alone, rejected and judged; in these moments, it becomes obvious that each of us has a deep desire to be accepted and loved. God created us as men and women; his intention for men and women is that they complement one another in the ways that they are distinct. We as men and women are equal, but that doesn't mean same, we reflect the image of God, that we were created in, in different ways. Join us for our next Life Night on Sunday, March 10th, from 4:45-6:45pm, where we will explore what it means to be a body-soul composite and how being man or woman is not merely a physical description, but goes far deeper than just what our DNA says. We look forward to seeing you there! Invite your friends too! 4

Below is just one of the many CD titles available in our Lighthouse Media Collection: Our Lady of Guadalupe Many people have heard of Our Lady of Guadalupe, but few people know her story. In this talk, speaker and catechist Luis Soto (who himself was born and raised in Mexico) shares the little known history and life-changing importance of Mary's appearance to a peasant man named Juan Diego, and the miraculous image she left behind. Loved by millions (including St. John Paul II), Our Lady of Guadalupe is a patron and example of how to share the Gospel with the whole world. The Battle Within Jeff Cavins, an internationally-recognized authority on Scripture, provides an ultrapractical guide on how to battle sin in the areas of our lives where we tend to fall, and he helps us examine the root causes of our sin in order to understand the why behind our actions. In this presentation, Jeff explains four major wounds that exist as part of our human nature, and he equips his listeners with three secret weapons we can use to help us effectively overcome sin and serve the Lord from a place of freedom and love. We kindly ask for a donation of $4.00 per book (or otherwise specified suggested donation), $3.00 per CD, $2.00 per booklet and $0.50 per pamphlet so that we may continue this program.
