Prayer for Pope Francis
Dear Friends in Christ,
Today, I am extending a special request to the faithful of the Archdiocese of Baltimore and beyond to join me in prayer for our Holy Father, Pope Francis during his hospitalization for a respiratory infection. Pope Francis often speaks about the power of prayer and time and time again he has entrusted himself to our prayers. Let us once again pray for him during this time of need. We pray for a quick and full recovery and walk with him to overcome this health issue. Please join me in saying Pope Francis’ own prayer to Our Lady, Health of the Sick,
O Mary, You shine continuously on our journey
as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick,
who, at the foot of the cross, were united with Jesus’ suffering, and persevered in your faith.
“Protectress of the Roman people”, you know our needs,
and we know that you will provide,
so that, as at Cana in Galilee,
joy and celebration may return after this time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the will of the Father
and to do what Jesus tells us.
For he took upon himself our suffering,
and burdened himself with our sorrows to bring us,
through the cross, to the joy of the Resurrection.
Amen.
May the Good Lord bless Pope Francis. Faithfully in Christ, Most Reverend William E. Lori Archbishop of Baltimor -
Regulations for Lenten Fast and Abstinence
Regulations for Lenten Fast and Abstinence Regulations for Lenten Fast and Abstinence Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and catechumens should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and of preparation for Baptism or of the renewal of Baptism at Easter. Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all 18 years of age and older, who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday.
On a fast day one full meal is allowed and no meat is to be taken. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices, are allowed.
Abstinence is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence, no meat is allowed.
Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law of fast and abstinence does not oblige.
Ash Wednesday, all the Fridays of Lent and Good Friday are the days of abstinence from meat.
Note: If a person is unable to observe the above regulations due to ill health or other serious reasons, other suitable forms of self-denial are encouraged. -
