GENERAL REMARKS.
when doubt exists . to whether

exemption from the precepts Of fast
ing and abstinence. counsel should be
asked from confesso1s or pastors VINO
are tho authoritative Intefpretera q
the law, and who even are emDo erred
in special cases for good and snhicient
Ieasone, Indicated or suggested in
Catholic theology, to commute the
precepts IF fasting and abstinence to
other penitential works.
In epjoiping upon the faithful t1e
precepts Of fast and abstinence, Holy
Church IL mindful OF the EVANGELICAL
law OF self. der ial, of which the Savior
and His apostles were, by example ard
by word, most eminent teachers s.
Without sell. denial there is no
Chrittianity. Indeed, without 81 It.;
denial there is no natural morality.
The man who has not acquired by
habit the power of self.rest1 amt will
not be victorious over sin amid the
storms and temptations Of life which
all are compelled to encounter.
The observance of the fasts and
atstinences prescribed by the Church
is taken as q public and fearless
profession of Catholic faith. He who,
without sufficient or obvious reasons,
eats meat or takes his usual meals
wien abstinence OF fast Is eDjoined,
becou an occasion of scandal. ana is
not accepted as q practical Catholic.
Let Catholics, therefore, have the
courage Of self denial for the sake Of
Christ aud OF their own souls, and
be on their guard lest by their acts
scandal be given, and the fair name Of
their religion be dlshonored.
During Lent pastors will told
specisl exercises Of devotion in their
several churches at appointed times.
Instructions of practical character
upon the Christian duties, the nature
of the sacraments, and the preparation
for their reception, should be given
on those occasions.
The devotion of the Way Of the
Cross will be tbsersed, il at all
possible, in sn churches and cnspels
on the Friday evenings throughout
