Lent begins on March 1st, 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. * Catholics are required to Confess their serious sins and receive Holy Communion at least once between the First Sunday of Lent and Trinity Sunday. § 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.
