LENTEN REGULATIONS 1. Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent. 2. Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of age is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. 3. On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, suffi- cient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one's needs, but together they should not equal anoth- er full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted on these two days, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. 4. To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful. 5. Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian year. All of the faithful are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of voluntary self-denial (in addition to following the Lenten regulations), serious prayer, and a performance of works of charity and mercy.

Father Ed will preach at all of the weekend Masses, and then he’ll give three Mission Talks: Sunday, March 11: “Open Our Eyes, Lord” This talk is a call to open our eyes, ears and hearts to the presence of God which is so very alive in our world… We are called to be a welcoming and vibrant community of believers and we can only be that if we are open to seeing and experiencing the world the way that God does. Monday, March 12: “Blessed are the Merciful” When Pope Francis declared the Jubilee Year of Mercy in 2015-16 that was a great invitation for us as a Church to remember that “Mercy is the Face of God” and that we are all invited to enter more deeply into God’s mercy every day of our lives. Are we a “Beatitudes” kind of people? Let’s hope so! Tuesday, March 13 (during Mass): “All you need is LOVE” Love is the bottom line for us as Christians, as we all know, and the Bible has a lot to say about it. Starting with Deuteronomy and the “Shema” Commandment in the Old Testament, we’ll then turn to look at the very different Commandments of Love in the Gospels. All are welcome. Please invite your family, friends and neighbors! Franciscan Father Ed Shea is the third of eight children from St. Giles Par- ish in Oak Park. A 1974 graduate of Fenwick High School and a 1978 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, Fr. Shea joined the Franciscans in 1980 and was ordained a priest in 1987. Fr.
