Ash Wednesday questions

[Maria1993]

Are we required to fast?

Do our Lent sacrifices start Midnight today? Or after we receive ashes?

Must we keep them on Sundays?

Can I receive ashes twice if I will probably be going to mass twice?

Yes fast is required Lenten Regulations
Abstinence – Catholics over 14 years of age are bound to the obligation of abstinence. Abstinence is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays of Lent. On days of abstinence, meat may not be used at all.

Fast – Catholics over 18 and up to the beginning of their 60th year are bound to the obligation of fasting. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are the days of fasting. On these days, only one full meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed.

Ash Wednesday starts at 12

I don’t know anything that would stop you from getting Ashes twice.

You are not required to keep your sacrifice on Sunday.

 

[Alma]

Except if you already have a cross of ash in your forhead.

You can go to Mass twice but you don’t have to go in the line for more ash.
