Julie Brennan FASTING AND ABSTINENCE The Canon Law of the Catholic Church concerning fasting and abstinence for Latin Rite Catholics states: Canon 1249 All members of the Christian faith-ful in their own way are bound to do penance in virtue of divine law; in order that all may be joined in a common observance of penance, penitential days are prescribed in which the Christian faithful in a special way pray, exercise works of piety and charity, and deny themselves by fulfilling their responsibilities more faithfully and especially by observing fast and abstinence according to the norm of the following canons.

4 Canon 1250 All Fridays through the year and the time of Lent are penitential days and times throughout the universal Church. Although no particular penance is prescribed by the Church, the old discipline of abstinence from meat on all Fridays during Lent may he maintained. If not, this must be replaced by some other form of penance. Canon 1251 Abstinence from eating meat or an-other food according to the prescriptions of the conference of bishops is to be observed on Fridays throughout the year unless they are solemnities; abstinence and fast are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and on the Friday of the Passion of the Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Whenever a solemnity ( a first class feast), falls on a Friday; abstinence is dispensed Canon 1252 All persons who have completed their fourteenth year are bound by the law of abstinence; all adults are bound by the law of fast up to the beginning of their sixtieth year.

5 Nevertheless, pastors and parents are to see to it that minors who are not bound by the law of fast and abstinence are educated in an authentic sense of penance. Canon 1253 It is for the conference of bishops to determine more precisely the observance of fast and abstinence and to substitute in whole or in part for fast and abstinence other forms of penance, especially works of charity and exercises of piety. In the United States and many other countries the days of abstinence are Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of Lent. On other Fridays, one is allowed to commute abstinence into another form of penance ( , the Way of the Cross.)

(map taken from: THE STATIONAL CHURCHES of ROME Beginning Ash Wednesday, we begin observance of the Lenten Roman Stational Churches.)

9 Each day, our Mass begins at the shrine representing the Stational Churches of Rome set up on Mary s altar. The shrine designates where that day s papal liturgy will take place, thereby uniting our Lenten Eucharistic sacrifice with the Church of Rome. The practice of the bishop, his clergy and people processing to different stational churches for Mass during Lent dates from fourth century Jerusalem. Eventually, Christians in Rome and other major cities also began to practice this custom. Pope St. Gregory the Great standardized the Stational Churches in Rome around the year 600 and since that time they have, with few exceptions, remained the same. The faithful observed the stations by first gathering with the clergy of Rome at a specified church in the city called the collecta ( gathering place ). They then walked in procession to the shrine of an apostle or martyr at the stational church, the daily statio ( standing place ), designated for that day.

10 The word statio derives from the Latin verb sto, to stand and signified how early Christians gathered and stood with the local clergy, bishop, patriarch or the Pope himself in this special procession and liturgy. Statio also was a Roman military term meaning military post, to which St. Ambrose once made reference in a sermon when he said, Our fasts are our encampments against the attacks of the devil. Statio, therefore, also means a vigilant commitment to conversion and prayer. (continued on next page) Recessional 9:00 & 11:00 Observance of the traditional Lenten Stational Churches has been an integral part of Lenten observances here at St. John Cantius long before the Canons Regular were founded. But because of their devotion to the Lord s Passion it has always played an important role in their own Lenten customs as a way to enter more deeply into the mystery of the Lord s Passion during this sacred season.
