Question: 

Of the traditional three penances that Catholics practice throughout Lent, which of the following is not considered one of the three?

Praying
Fasting

Attendance at daily Mass

Answer: Attendance at daily Mass

Traditionally, during this holy season, Catholics are encouraged to pray more, fast more, and give more alms. Daily Mass attendance is very good and recommended, but is not considered one of the three traditional penances.
