Prayer to Saint Joseph To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in
our tribulation, and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke your patronage also.
Through that charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to re-gard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has pur-chased by his Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us in our necessities.
O most watchful guardian of the Holy Fam-ily, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward off from us every conta-gion of error and corrupting influence; O our most mighty protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of dark-ness.
As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God's Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversi-ty; shield, too, each one of us by your constant pro-tection, so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness, and to obtain eternal happiness in heav-en. Amen

L n Re la i n (1)The days of both Fast and Abstinence during Lent are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. If possi-
ble, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the "paschal fast" to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus, and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to cele-brate more readily His Resurrection. The other Fridays of Lent are days of Abstinence. On a day of Fast, on-ly one (1) full meal is permitted, and two (2) smaller meals, which, if added together, would not exceed the main meal in quantity. Those between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast. On a day of Abstinence, no meat may be eaten. Those who have reached the age of 14 are obliged by the law of abstinence. (2)The obli-gation to observe the laws of Fast and Abstinence “substantially,” or as a whole, is a serious obligation. (3)The Fridays of the year, outside of Lent, are designated as days of penance, but each individual may substi-tute for the traditional abstinence from meat some other practice of voluntary self-denial as penance. (4)The time for fulfilling the Pascal Precept (Easter Duty*) extends from the First Sunday of Lent, February 21, 2021, to The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, May 30, 2021.
