Third Sunday of Lent

March 8, 2026

O God, author of every mercy and of all goodness, who in fasting, prayer and almsgiving have shown us a remedy for sin, look graciously on this confession of our lowliness, that we, who are bowed down by our conscience, may always be lifted up by Your mercy. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

If today you hear His voice,
harden not your hearts.

Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
For He is our God, and we are the people
He shepherds, the flock He guides.

Psalm 95:6-7

Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one's needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. No eating between meals. Liquids, including milk and juices, are allowed.

Abstinence is observed by all aged 14 or older. No meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, Church law does not oblige.
