Lenten Guidelines

Lent is a season of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. In

order to see that our preparation for Easter has a

communal, and not just an individual dimension, the

Church gives us certain norms for a common Lenten

observance. The Lenten guidelines for the Archdio-

cese of Atlanta are as follows:

- Abstinence from meat is observed on Ash Wednes-

day (February 26), Good Friday (April 10) and all the

Fridays of Lent by all Catholics 14 years of age and

older.

- Fasting is observed on Ash Wednesday and Good

Friday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but

not yet 59 years of age. Those bound by this rule may

take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are per-

mitted as necessary to maintain strength according

to one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals

is not permitted.

- Those who are sick, pregnant or nursing, or whose

health would be adversely affected by fasting or ab-

stinence should not consider themselves bound by

these norms.

During the season of Lent, we are all called to em-

brace penances and to perform works of charity that

reflect our desire for conversion of heart. Let us all

pray fervently for those catechumens and candidates

who will celebrate the Easter sacraments with us this

year. May this Lent lead us all to a deeper union in

Christ and with one another.
