Find Lenten Activities

As you know FASTING and ABSTINENCE are important spiritual disciplines during Lent.  In  dioceses in the United States, Catholics aged 18 through 59 are bound to fast on both Ash Wednesday (March 5, 2025) and Good Friday (April 18, 2025). To fast means to consume one full meal a day at most, although taking of other, smaller quantities of food at the other customary mealtimes is permitted. Food and drink between meals (excepting water and medicine) is not permitted on days of fasting. 
 
Catholics aged 14 and up are to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, all Fridays of Lent, and Good Friday.  To abstain means refraining from eating the flesh, marrow and blood products of beef, veal, pork, or poultry - eggs and milk products are acceptable. The consumption of fish and shellfish is permitted, though the penitential character of the abstinence should be kept in mind.  A lobster feast on a Friday, therefore, is not really keeping with the penitential character of Lent.
 

Sometimes, it feels like Lent is just about giving up chocolate. But deep down, we all desire to do something more for Lent—we just don’t know how to do it.

How to Lent is a new series from the Augustine Institute that aims to equip Catholics with the tools to understand and practice the pillars of Lent: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Guided by Solenne Santiago and with the help of priests and religious, this series will challenge our preconceived notions about Lent, laying out a roadmap for entering the season with a purpose. Don’t let Lent sneak up on you like it did last year. Instead, heed the call of St. John the Baptist by preparing for the Lord, using How to Lent to transform your spiritual life this Lenten season.
