I. Days of penance in the United States:
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are
days of abstinence from meat and also
of fast, that is limited to a single full
meal.
The other Fridays of the season of
Lent are days of abstinence from
meat.
The Fridays of the year outside Lent
remain days of penance, but each indi-
vidual may substitute for the tradi-
tional abstinence from meat.

II. Those bound to fast and abstain:
All those who are 14 years old and
older are bound by the law of absti-
nence.
The law of fast binds all who are 18
years and not yet 59 years old.

STEWARDSHIP ... is what I do after I say I believe

If God is for us, who can be against us? Is it possible that God who did not spare
his own Son but handed him over for the sake of us all will not grant us all things
besides? Romans 8:31-32

Stewardship of treasure involves trust in God. You must believe in Gods provi-
dence and trust that, if you give a just portion of your income to His work, God
will help you live on the rest.
