Lenten Giving Project - Furnish a Place for Peace

Beit Benedict Peace Academy - Jerusalem

Listen to Fr. Tom Paul's Ash Wednesday homily and his explanation of our Lenten Giving Project at Beit Benedict

The Benedictine monks of Dormition Abbey have acquired the last piece of land that can be developed on Mount Sion, obtained a building permit, and raised over $2 million of the $14 million needed.  They hope to break ground this Spring or early Summer.  We have chosen to continue supporting this project for one more Lenten season.  Our task is to raise enough money to supply a classroom with needed furniture and equipment.  Our logo “Furnish a Place for Peace” will have long range meaning as St. Elizabeth Seton Parish will be remembered as one of the founding support groups for this much needed project.

LENTEN REGULATIONS AND THE EASTER TRIDUUM

  1.  Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the  Fridays of Lent.

  2.  Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of age is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

  3. On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is allowed.  Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal.  Eating between meals is not permitted on these two days, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed.  When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.

  4. To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful.

  5. Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian year.  All of the faithful are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of voluntary self-denial (in addition to following the Lenten regulations), serious prayer, and a performance of works of charity and mercy.
