Third Sunday of Lent

In today’s Gospel, Jesus is quite clear in his message: “bear fruit or be cut down.” This Lent we are called to cultivate and fertilize our spiritual lives

through prayer, fasting and almsgiving.

Through your almsgiving you are performing a

good work; far greater than you think. Know

that your nickel, dime or quarter is multiplied by

the coins given by others to St. Vincent de Paul.

Lo que debemos hacer durante la Cuaresma

La ley del ayuno requiere que el católico, desde los 18 hasta los 59 años de edad, reduzca la cantidad de comida usual. La Iglesia define esta práctica como una comida principal más dos comidas pequeñas que sumadas no sobrepasen la primera en cantidad. Este ayuno es obligatorio el Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo. El ayuno se rompe si se come entre comidas o se toma algún líquido considerado como “comida” (por ejemplo, batidos o malteadas; pero está permitida la leche). Las bebidas alcohólicas no rompen el ayuno; sin embargo, se las considera contrarias al espíritu de hacer penitencia.

La ley de abstinencia exige a un católico de 14 años de edad y hasta su muerte, a abstenerse de comer carne los viernes, en honor a la Pasión de Jesús del Viernes Santo. Como carne se considera a la carne y órganos de mamiferos y aves de corral. También se encuentran prohibidas las sopas, caldos, cremas y salsas que se hacen a partir de ellos. Los peces de mar y de agua dulce, anfibios, reptiles y mariscos están permitidos, así como los productos derivados de animals como margarina y gelatina sin sabor a carne.
