Eat only one meal and two "snacks" which together are less than a full meal. All healthy Catholics from age 18-59 are expected to observe this practice on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

All healthy Catholics over the age of 14 are expected to abstain from eathing meat on Ash Wednesday, all Fridays in Lent and on Good Friday of Holy Week. Abstinence includes all meat, but consuming eggs, milk products or condiments made of animal fat is permitted.

Jesus teaches that giving alms means making the needs of others our own, especially the needy of our world. Almsgiving is not just for the wealthy. We all have something material to give. Donate personal possessions, donate food, donate money. The faithful also are encouraged to donate their time in service to the poor. We encourage you to participate in the CRS Operation Rice Bowl.

During the coronavirus crisis daily Mass is offered via live stream at 12pm Mon-Sat on this website, Facebook Live, and YouTube Live.

In this time of uncertainty as we observe efforts to curtail the spread of the coronavirus, Christ the King has implemented significant changes to our Lenten practice.

A Prayer for Others

May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors remember those who are most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.
May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close remember those who have no options.
May we who have to cancel our trips remember those who have no safe place to go.
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market remember those who have no margin at all.
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country, let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other, let us find ways to be loving embrace of God to our neighbors.
Amen

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, 
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. 
I love You above all things, 
and I desire to receive You into my soul. 
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, 
come at least spiritually into my heart. 
I embrace You as if You were already there 
and unite myself wholly to You. 
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
