Subject: Fasting and Abstinence - Here are the Conditions

Find out if you're off the hook or not

Dear Friend,


Are your sights set on Easter and the Feast of Mercy? Have you been able to intensify your prayer life, almsgiving, fasting, and abstinence?

 

Speaking of fasting and abstinence, are you clear on the obligations set by the Catholic Church for each one? Since we often receive questions on this topic, we thought we’d provide the answers to them in today’s Fast Friday message. Do your friends and family a favor by passing the information along so everyone can adequately experience this beautiful penitential season and be ready for the Feast of Mercy.


God bless your Fast Friday,

Joan Maroney

Don’t go on this journey alone. Grab your rosary and travel safely with Our Lady.

It's never to late to join!
