LENT: DO A LITTLE—GET A LOT
I do believe that there are special graces during the season of Lent. Some of my greatest
spiritual insights and some of my best prayer has been during Lent. As you pray and ask
God what you should during this Lent, keep in mind that your efforts will be multiplied.

The Gospel on Ash Wednesday always speaks about the big three disciplines: prayer,

In the next 10 years, the number of priests in East River
South Dakota will decline from
92 to 55.
Vocations to the Priesthood do
not just magically happen. They
grow from seeds planted in the
minds of good men by their
family, friends and parish.
Plant the seed of hope and help
us build God’s family!

Almsgiving: give away more smiles, hugs and kisses; really listen to people; notice not
just where your tithing (10%) goes, but notice where 100% of your money goes; spend
more time with family and friends; give not just your things, but your will to your Father, the
one who sent His Son to die for you.

Lenten Fasting and Abstinence Information
Lent begins on February 18th with Ash Wednesday. The Christian faithful are to do penance through prayer and fasting, abstinence and by exercising works of piety and charity.
All Fridays through the year, especially during Lent, are penitential days. Abstinence: All
who have reached their 14th birthday are to abstain from eating meat on Ash Wednesday
and on all Fridays of Lent. Fasting: All those who are 18 and older, until their 59th birthday,
are to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Only one full meal is allowed on days of
fast. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to one’s
need; but together, they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not
permitted, but liquids are allowed. The obligation does not apply to those whose health or
ability to work would be affected seriously. (from the Bishop’s Bulletin)

The 98 year old Mother Superior from Ireland was dying. The nuns
gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey comfortable. They gave her some warm milk to drink but she refused. Then
one of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen. Remembering a
bottle of Irish whiskey received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened
and poured a generous amount into the warm milk. Back at Mother Superior's
bed, she held the glass to her lips. Mother drank a little, then a little more and
before they knew it, she had drunk the whole glass down to the last drop.
"Mother," the nuns asked with earnest "please give us some wisdom before
you die”. She raised herself up in bed and with a pious look on her face said,
"Don't sell that cow”.
