Everyone fourteen years of age and older is bound to abstain from meat on the Fridays of Lent and Good Friday. Everyone eighteen years of age and older but under the age of sixty is also bound to fast on Good Friday. On Good Friday the law of fast allows only one full meal a day, but does not prohibit taking some food during the day, so long as this does not constitute another full meal. Drinking liquids during the day is permitted.

HOLY WEEK AND THE PASCHAL TRIDUUM Sunday, March 28 Sunday, April 4, 2010 The days of Jesus’ life-giving death and glori-ous resurrection are approaching, the hour he tri-

umphed over Satan’s pride, the time we celebrate the great event of our redemption” (Preface of the Lord’s Passion II, Sacramentary). Thus the Church begins the one week of the year that we formally designate as “Holy.” Simple rituals can link the domestic church to parish church and Church universal. Enthrone Sunday’s palms where you pray, behind the family crucifix, even as part of front door decora-tions: “Christ reigns here,” they proclaim; “all are welcome!” During the first three days of Holy Week, ready Easter clothes, prepare festal foods, clean the house, beautify the yard. Late Holy Thursday after-noon, share Lent’s final meal before the Lord’s Supper Mass. Pitcher, bowl, and towel make a fitting centerpiece; perhaps conclude the meal by washing each other’s feet. On Good Friday, observe the paschal fast from food—from TV and computer, too! Then come to Holy Saturday’s Vigil with mind clear, stomach empty, and heart full of “holy anticipation” that bursts into living flame when the new fire is kindled.—Peter Scagnelli, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

Memorial Listing of Easter Flowers will be

published in next week’s bulletin.
