For Your Attention Easter

easterbrochure_175

Ash Wednesday is on Wednesday 22 February and Easter is celebrated on Sunday 8 April in 2012.

Ash Wednesday begins the period of Lent during which we are called to prayer and penance as we prepare for the celebration of Easter.

On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday the Church asks us to observe both abstinence from meat and fasting.

For Christians fasting is one of the ways of expressing penance. The other ways are prayer, self-denial and works of charity.The practice of fasting is given to us by the Church to help us acquire mastery over our instincts and freedom of heart (Cathechism #2043). All who are 18 and not yet 60 are bound to fast. All who are over 14 are bound to abstain.

Listen to Archbishop Mark Coleridge on "The Good Life and Lent"

At Easter, have three days of celebration: -

On Holy Thursday we begin at sundown with the celebration of the Last Supper in which Jesus Christ gave his followers Holy Communion
On Good Friday we recall the suffering and death of Jesus on the Cross

On Easter Sunday we celebrate Jesus risen from the dead to new life

The three days of celebration of Easter begins with sundown on Holy Thursday evening and ends with evening prayer on Easter Sunday evening. The Triduum includes the liturgies of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday. View the color brochure (PDF).
