Shrove Tuesday - The Holy Face of Jesus: O Jesus, Who in Thy bitter Passion didst become ‘the reproach of men and the Man of Sorrows’, I venerate Thy Holy Face on which shone the beauty and gentleness of the Divinity. In those disfigured features I recognise Thine infinite Love, and I long to love Thee and to make Thee loved. May I behold Thy Glorious Face in Heaven! Amen. Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Adorable Face of Thy Beloved Son Jesus for the honour and glory of Thy Name, for the conversion of sinners, and the salvation of the dying. Amen.

Guide For Lent.
The focus of this Season is the Cross and penance, as we imitate Christ's forty days of fasting, like Moses and Elias before Him, and await the triumph of Easter. We fast, abstain, mortify the flesh, give alms, and think more of charitable works. waking up…

The True Catholic Faith is forever in our Hearts and we will never lose her, remember this always and nobody outside the bride of Christ can earn eternal life
"No man can find salvation except in the Catholic Church. Outside of the Catholic Church, one can have everything except salvation. One can have honor, one can have the sacraments, one can sing "Alleluia", and one can reply "Amen", one can have faith in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost and preach it too but never can one find salvation except in the Catholic Church."*
~ St. Augustine of Hippo

Be ye Christians in the full sense of the word. The Crusaders of old were Christian Fronters when they repulsed the Mohammedan hordes. We saw, too, the brave Polish people establish the Christian Front. We saw it spring up in Italy. And we witnessed the activities of a Christian Front that was forced to defend the lives, the liberties and the properties of Spain against the invasion of the international Popular Bolshevik Front.—Father Coughlin

"Hear this, children of the forest! No blood will flow tonight, except what sorrow has drawn from a mother's breast. For this is the night of the birth of Christ, the son of the Almighty, the Savior of mankind. More just is He than Baldur the Beautiful, greater than Odin the Wise, kinder than Freya the Good. Since He came, the sacrifice has ended. The darkness, Thor, whom you have called in vain, is dead. Deep in the shadows of Niffelheim he is lost forever. And now, on this night of Christ, you will begin to live. This tree of blood will no longer darken your land. In the name of the Lord, I will destroy it.
- St. Boniface, after saving the life of a little boy, who was to be used as a sacrifice in front of the Oak of Thor.

Fun fact:
Duns Scotus believed that one could Baptize someone in their sleep, and since they're technically non-resisting, the Baptism would count and you could force them to obey Christian law.

FASTING AND ABSTINENCE IN LENT
These are the current fasting and abstinence rules for Lent, as they've stood since the reign of Pope Pius XII:
Fasting obliges those between the ages of 21 and 59.
Fasting means:
~ Only one full meal is allowed in the day, and that after noon
~ That meal may contain meat, unless it's also an abstinence day
~ Further, two small snacks, called collations, are allowed each day: when added together they must not exceed the size of a full meal
~ Snacking between these is not permitted
~ No liquid breaks the fast, including milk
~ Things that we may call liquid, but are made of solid matter, such as soup and fruit or vegetable smoothies, do break the fast
~ each fasting day is midnight to midnight
All the forty days of Lent (that is, excluding Sundays) are fasting days.
Abstinence obliges all those who are 7 or older.
Abstinence means no meat or soup made from meat. Other foods, including those using meat juices, are allowed.
In the universal law of the Church, the abstinence days in Lent are all Fridays and all Saturdays, with the addition of Ash Wednesday and the Ember Wednesday. Ireland follows these rules.
In England, the Saturdays are swapped for the Wednesdays, so the abstinence days are all Wednesdays and all Fridays with the Ember Saturday.
In the USA, the abstinence days are all Fridays and Ash Wednesday only. The Ember Wednesday and Saturday are days of "partial abstinence", which is described as a day on which meat is allowed at the main meal but not the two collations (which sounds to me exactly like a fasting day without abstinence).
In Scotland, St. Joseph's Day is a Holy Day of Obligation and the obligation to fast is overturned. In Ireland that is true of St. Patrick's Day.

Consider these things, my soul, and close the door of your senses, so that you can hear what the Lord your God speaks within you. "I am your salvation," says your Beloved. "I am your peace and your life. Remain with Me and you will find peace. Dismiss all passing things and seek the eternal. What are all temporal things but snares? And what help will all creatures be able to give you if you are deserted by the Creator?" Leave all these things, therefore, and make yourself pleasing and faithful to your Creator so that you may attain to true happiness.

ASH WEDNESDAY
Q. What do you mean by fast-days?
A. By fast-days I mean days on which we are allowed but one full meal.
According to the traditional Catholic method of fasting, one may eat "one full meal" each day with meat included, plus two smaller meatless
meals, both of which together do not equal the one full meal. No eating between meals is allowed, although drinking beverages such as coffee and tea are allowed and are not considered to break the fast. (Milk, juice, and soft drinks are also considered not to break the fast, although they are in fact foods and mitigate the effects of the fast and work contrary to its intent because they satisfy one's hunger to some extent, since they have food value.) They, therefore, who follow the above regulations obey the Catholic method of fasting. Today the prescribed days of fast for the whole Church are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday (these are also days of abstinence). However the Church today says that the meaning of the law of fasting during Lent remains, although the extent of the obligation has been changed. In other words, Lent remains as a season of penance in the Church, but how it is to be observed is greatly up to the individual, though no one may think himself excused from all penance whatsoever, and those who are in the fasting age group should still practice the Church's form of fasting, since fasting is a primary and very efficacious form of penance.

a thomistic articulation of an e/e distinction would probably go something like this:
God, as the pure act of existence, serves as the perfective end of creatures by virtue of the unique role existence has as a created essence’s principle of actuality, and therefore His energetic procession toward creatures will always be self-manifesting yet proportionate to the creature’s reception
as a result of this, no divine self-manifestation toward creatures can in and of itself be said to communicate the divine essence (considered as divine being in its supre-essential transcendence), but only signify it
