Traditional Fasting and Abstinence Disciplines During Lent

For those looking to practice the traditional Lenten disciplines in place in 1962, we share a helpful 2010 document from Mater Ecclesiae Latin Mass Chapel in Berlin, New Jersey, which explains the differences between the traditional Lenten rules for fasting and abstinence (now voluntary) that accompanied the Traditional Latin Mass and the current rules.

Traditional Carmelite Lenten Enrollment – Lent is approaching and the Discalced Hermits of Our Lady of Mount Carmel invite the faithful to enroll their family and friends in this annual Lenten Enrollment. The Hermits will be offering the following for the benefit of those enrolled:

• 40 Traditional Latin Masses celebrated according to the Carmelite Rite;

• 40 days of prayer according to the Divine Office, as well as other daily prayers; and

• 40 days of fasting and penance.

Intentions can be for the living or deceased. There is no charge for enrollment, but the Discalced Hermits survive entirely on alms received from the laity to support their apostolate. Please remember the Hermits in your almsgiving during the Season of Lent.

The deadline to enroll is Tuesday February 17, the day before Ash Wednesday. To enroll in the Lenten Enrollment, click here.
