As we enter the second Friday of Lent, we’re reminded that every Friday is a day of abstinence for Catholics age 14 and older — a small but meaningful sacrifice offered in love.

By abstaining from meat, we unite ourselves to Christ’s sacrifice and remember that it was on a Friday He gave His life for us. What seems simple becomes sacred when offered with intention.

As the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, these penitential practices prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter.

May this Friday renew your gratitude, deepen your faith, and draw you closer to the Lord. ✝️
