CCC 1438

The seasons and days of penance in the course of the liturgical year (Lent, and each Friday in memory of the death of the Lord) are intense moments of the Church's penitential practice.³⁶ Cf. SC 109-110; CIC, cann. 1249-1253.; CCEOCCEO — Codex Canonum Ecclesiarum Orientalium (Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches), Cann. 880-883 These times are particularly appropriate for spiritual exercises, penitential liturgies, pilgrimages as signs of penance, voluntary self-denial such as fasting and almsgiving, and fraternal sharing (charitable and missionary works).
