Lenten Calendar 2017

by Filed Under: Lent, Lent 2017, Lenten Calendar 6 Comments

Almighty God! I unite myself at the beginning of this holy season of penance with the Church militant, endeavoring to make these days of real sorrow for my sins and crucifixion of the sensual man. O Lord Jesus! in union with Thy fasting and passion, I offer Thee my fasting in obedience to the Church, for Thy honor, and in thanksgiving for the many favors I have received, in satisfaction for my sins and the sins of others, and that I may receive the grace to avoid such and such a sin, N. N. and to practice such and such a virtue, N. N.

Lent begins on March 1 this year!  I hope this calendar helps you get a jumpstart on your Lenten journey.

This Lenten Calendar follows the Traditional Calendar (1962) of the Extraordinary Form of the Liturgy with some Historical (H) feast days noted. It extends from Shrove Tuesday to Easter Sunday.

We only celebrate First Class Feasts during Lent.  The other saints are included for private devotion and will be called upon for intercessory prayers.

I print my calendar at Costco Photo in 16×20 ($6.99) for our family altar display and 11×14 ($3.99) or 8×10 ($1.49) for my children upstairs.  The calendar can also be printed at an office store or at home.

  • You may download and print the calendar for your personal use.
  • You may also link to this post but please do not link directly to the file download.
  • Email me at JOYfilledfamily{at}gmail{dot}com if you need my assistance.

O most benign Jesus! who didst so desire to suffer for us, grant, that we may willingly suffer for love of Thee; that we may hate and flee from the detestable pleasures of the world and the flesh, and practice penance and mortification, that by so doing we may merit to be released from our spiritual blindness to love Thee more and more ardently, and finally possess Thee forever.
