Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.

And all God's people said; Amen.
Caleb Morales
See you at mass, bros.
Asher Smith
Reminder Catholics must both fast and abstain from meat.
Josiah Walker
What's the difference between fast and abstinence?
William Nelson
Fasting is not eating anything. I think youre allowed water tho, but if you wanna be Mega Catholic abstain from that too (like Christ)
Kayden Gomez
fasting is not consuming food, abstaining is avoiding meat when you do eat
Daniel Turner
Isaac Nguyen
So which one is it? Do I just abstain from meat or do I not eat at all?
Bentley Nguyen
I'm giving up Zig Forums for lent, see you guys on Easter. Or sunday.
Kayden Garcia
This is the first lent I'll be properly celebrating and I have no idea what to give up or when it ends.
Wish me luck.

Isaiah Ortiz
One large meal and one small meal at maximum for fast, no consumption of meats for abstinence. That said, I might be missing something so I invite you to do your own research
Julian Hill
just a friendly reminder

I unfortunately will be compelled by health only to abstain not fast totally. I have a medicine that has awful side effects if I don’t have a couple crackers with it.
Jason Diaz
Can i eat meat during Lent with the exception of Wednesday, Friday and Saturday? Should these be only necessary meals instead of feasts?
Joseph Sanchez
Nothing but stardust
Luis Young
Does the Eucharist count as a meal on days of fasting?
Ryder Rivera
Y tho?
James Stewart
Lent. Read the sticky.

I think it's a good idea. Flagposting doesn't lend itself to charity most of the time.
Anthony Lewis
I had emailed the CCCB around a year or two ago because the page wasn't clear on the abstaining from meat every Friday, which my Parish Priest said we had to according to their page. I see the page has now been edited to be more clear. Plus this infographic is MUCH easier to understand. Thanks for posting it.
Quick question, what do they consider to be Manual Laborers? If I go work out like a Hulk at the gym, does that qualify?
Matthew Howard
Whether it's a good idea or not, my point is that a person doesn't sacrifice what he can't obtain.
Jaxon Parker
I'm ready for Lent. Going to eat canned corn and canned green peas for 40 days, allowing myself maybe a vegan Subway sandwich and/or a beer every week-end.
I really need to get my prayers together though, I haven't prayed in two days. I've been feeling horribly depressed and tired, it's difficult.
What works of charity are you going to do for Lent? Remember this is the most important thing.
I don't know what I can do, because I'm broke.

Is ashes on forehead burger only thing? I never seen it anywhere else, we do ashes on top of the head here.

Today at mass priest at the end said
Americanisation done right?
William Lewis
No, it's not a burger-only thing. It's a global thing.
Do you shave your head?
Justin Nelson
It's like you seek out heavy metal poisoning with a magnifier
Eli Hughes
Those are the days when devil tempts us the most.
The lent has just begun. Stay strong user. You can make it.
John Perry
Today and the Friday before Easter are the 2 mandatory (for the 18-65 years old ppl) fasting days of the year (i.e. skip at least a main meal).
Each Friday from the next till Easter are abstinence days (no meat).
Xavier Turner
The priest went hard today
Austin Reed
By the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, because out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you will return. (Genesis 3:19)
