Giving up for Lent: Fasting and Abstinence are good ways
to show we take God seriously and are sorry for our sins. We
should abstain from meat on Fridays if we are aged between
14 & 60, are not with child or involved in heavy labour, or if
the fast would hurt our health. In those circumstances we
should give some extra money to charity or time to prayer.
Who should fast is as above, except the age rule begins at 16.
We fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by eating no
more than one full meal and two snacks.
If you would like to learn more about the Christian Faith, perhaps with a view to Christening or Confirmation, please see Fr Owen
