St. Michael Prayer

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do, thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Power of God, cast into hell satan and all of the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Glory to God in the Highest!

Ash Wednesday Requirements - Get Ready! The Season of Lent Begins tomorrow!

Tomorrow, the season of Lent begins.  As we immerse ourselves into this season, we walk the way of the Cross with Jesus.  As with other Holy Seasons, our Church asks us to follow some simple rules to grow closer to God. 

What are the requirements of Lent?
What are the requirements for Ash Wednesday?

1) Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 are required to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

2) Catholics age 14 and older are required to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all Fridays during the season of Lent.

That's not hard, so be ready. 

Here's a link to American Catholic. org.  The article explains the requirements and the reasons for the requirements of Lent.  It's not a long article, so be sure to read it to the end.
