Fasting This Week

This week we continue the Great Lenten Fast.  Monday through Friday, we keep a strict fast, abstaining from meat (beef, chicken, pork, etc), dairy (cheese, milk, butter), eggs, fish (fish with backbones; shellfish is always permitted), olive oil and wine (some say all alcoholic beverages).  Saturday and Sunday, there is an allowance for olive oil and wine.  Have a blessed and spiritually joyous and fruitful fast!
