What are the other practices of Catholics every Lenten season and Holy Week?
Catholic PracticesCatholics usually only eat fish on Fridays during Lent because during that time they believe they should give up to meat every Friday as penance and in recognition of the crucifixion of Jesus. Many Catholics do choose to eat fish as an alternative. AnswerThe Church continues to encourage abstinence (eating no meat) on Friday as an act of penance. The practice is no longer binding under sin. Catholics are encouraged to practice the classic penitential acts: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Historically, Catholics have "given up" something for Lent, something that is permissible, but they are offering something extra to God. Many Catholics try to attend daily Mass during Lent, make the Stations of the Cross on a regular basis, add extra prayers to their usual routine. Before Vatican Council II, EVERY day, except for Sunday and Feasts was a fast day, allowing only one full meal during the day, and many Catholics try to abstain from meat on Wednesday and Friday during Lent.

What do you do for sacrifice lent?
I have heard it said that Lent is the springtime of the soul, as it is a time of spiritual renewal. Especially during this season, Catholics are called to three things: fasting, almsgiving, and prayer. Fasting refers to the usual pracice of giving up something during Lent. For example, giving up sweets or limiting computer time. We should also be increasing our prayer life during Lent by perhaps reading the Bible, saying the rosary, or going through a devotional. Finally, almsgiving does not only refer to giving money to the poor. It could mean this, but it could also mean doing something such as giving of one's time by volunteering or donating canned goods to a local food pantry. Almsgiving can be defined as an act of mercy. Therefore, one can look to the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy and try to work on one or more of those during Lent as well. There is not one specific thing you MUST do for Lent. What you do in terms of fasting, almsgiving, and prayer should bring you closer to Christ and make you a little less worldly.
