✝️ Fasting
Fasting helps us detach from distractions and open our hearts to God. The Church asks all Catholics to observe the following:
Required Catholic Fasting & Abstinence
Ash Wednesday & Good Friday
Fasting is required for Catholics ages 18–59.
One full meal
Two smaller meals that together do not equal a full meal
No snacking between meals
Abstinence from meat is also required for ages 14 and older.
All Fridays of Lent
Abstinence from meat for ages 14 and older.
Who is excused?
Those with medical conditions, pregnant or nursing mothers, the frail, and those whose health would be harmed are not bound by the fasting laws. The Church encourages them to choose another meaningful penance.
Voluntary Lenten Practices
Beyond the required norms, Catholics are encouraged to:
Reduce screen time
Limit unnecessary spending
Fast from negativity, gossip, or unhealthy habits
Add daily prayer or Scripture reading
❤️ Almsgiving

Summary of Pope Leo XIV’s Angelus Address – First Sunday of Lent
Pope Leo XIV invited the faithful to see Lent as a “luminous path” where God cleanses, heals, and reshapes our lives into “a unique masterpiece.” Reflecting on the Gospel of Jesus’ temptation in the desert, the Pope emphasized that Christ shares our human struggle yet shows us how to resist the devil’s “deception and snares.” Through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, he said, we cooperate with God’s transforming work and allow our lives to “blossom in beauty” toward the fullness of love.
The Holy Father warned that temptations—like the ones Jesus faced—offer only “poor substitutes for the joy for which we were created,” leaving us restless and empty. True renewal comes through penance, which “enriches, purifies and strengthens” our humanity. He encouraged the faithful to turn off distractions, embrace silence, meditate on Scripture, approach the Sacraments, and listen to the Holy Spirit. Lent, he said, is also a time to listen to one another, especially the lonely, elderly, poor, and sick, and to share what we save by giving up what is superfluous. He concluded by entrusting the Lenten journey to the Virgin Mary, “who always assists her children in times of trial.”
