LENTEN REGULATIONS. 
 
 We give the following practical directions for the 
 observance of this year's Lent in the Vicariate : 
 
 I. All the days of Lent, Sundays excepted, are 
 days of fast and abstinence for all persons that come 
 under the fasting laws. 
 
 II. According to the tenor of an indult granted 
 to the Vicariate on the 14th of January 1885, flesh 
 meat is to be abstained from during Lent : 
 
 1. Every Wednesday and every Friday ; 
 
 2. The Saturday of Ember week and Holy Saturday 
 
 3. The use of flesh meat is allowed at all the meals 
 on all Sundays, Palm Sunday included, and for all 
 who are obliged to fast, once each day, at the principal 
 meal, on Monday, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, 
 except, as above mentioned. Ember Saturday and 
 Holy Saturday, 
 
 III. Custom permits : 
 
 1. On the morning of fast days, a few mouthfulsof 
 bread with a cup of tea, cofi'ee, chocolate or other 
 beverage (except milk); 
 
 2. In the evening, a slight collation of about a 
 quarter of an ordinary meal, and at this collation 
 butter, eggs and cheese may be used ; 
 
 3. On the evenings of those fast-days, on which 
 flesh meat is allowed at the principal meal, the use of 
 even fat soup that remains over from dinner. (This 
 permission extends to all sorts ot persons. 
 
 IV. By virtue of an indult granted to all the eccle- 
 siastical Province, on the 2nd of March 1873, it is 
 permitted on days of abstinence to prepare any kind 
 of meagre food and soup with the fat of pork, beef, 
 mutton, and other animals. 
 
 V. It is forbidden to use fish (oysters included) and 
 flesh meat at the same meal. 
 
 VI. The Church exempts from the law of fasting 
 the following persons : 
 
 1. All who have not yet reached twenty-one years 
 of age. Although the Church exempts from the 
 obligation of fasting, the persons who have not yet 
 reached this age, however she exhorts them to 
 mortify themselves and master their passions by 
 fasting and prayer j 
 
 2. The sick, the infirm, the convalescent ; 
 
 3. Those wi:o are obliged to hard work, which they 
 could not perform if they fasted. In case of a doubt 
 the persons of the two last categories, should consult 
 a conscientious physician or their confessor ; 
 
 4. Aged persons ; 
 
 5. Women bearing or nursing children ; 
 
 6. All those whose health would bejseriously nipai- 
 red by fasting, 
 
 VII. All who are exempted by any legiiimate 
 cause from fasting may use flesh meat as often as 
 they like on the days when those who are bound to 
 fast, are allowed it at a single meal. We exhort 
 them to satisfy the divine justice for their sins by 
 prayer and alms-giving. Forthis end, we counsel 
 them to recite each day five "Our Fathers" and 
 five " Hail Marys " in honor of the five wounds of 
 Our Lord Jesus-Christ, and to give something to 
 the poor.
