begins on Ash Wednesday. As noted the weekdays (Ferials) of
Lent are traditionally observed with the Lenten Fast; one full meal and
two collations. Days of abstinence are marked with a fish.
All of the days of Lent should be observed with extra prayer,
meditation, spiritual reading, and good works.
§ A plenary indulgence is granted under the usual conditions on each Friday of Lent and Passiontide to those who after Holy Communion piously recite the prayer before a crucifix, "Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus"; on other days of the year the indulgence is partial. (Enchiridion #22) |

Catholics are required to Confess their serious sins and receive Holy Communion at least once between the First Sunday of Lent and Trinity Sunday. *Easter Week, the octave of Easter, a privileged octave of the first order. The proper Mass given in the Missal is said on each day, with the Credo, Preface of Easter, and a proper Communicántes and Hanc ígitur. "Ite, missa est, allelúja, allelúja" and "Deo grátias, allelúja, allelúja" replace the "Benedicámus Dómino" of Lent. |
