S. Being under twcnty-one years of age, old
age intirmty Of health, pregnancy, the nurs
ins OF infant, at the breast, and hard labor, are
good causes of dispcusaton from the fast. But
good reasons for being exempted from the fast

Sunday of Lent till Trinity Sunday; during
which time Catholics who have attained the
use Of reason arc bound to make confession Of
their sins, and, when approved by their con.

b. the law of confession. Parents should take
notice of this fact.
