ABSTINENCE & FASTING
(Invalids, pregnant and nursing mothers are exempt)
ABSTINENCE from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years of age and over on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays in Lent. Abstinence from all festive foods is encouraged on every day during Lent as part of the common discipline of this holy season.
FASTING is to be observed on Ash Wednesday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59. Those who are bound by this may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength according to one’s need, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted. The special Paschal fast and abstinence are prescribed for Good Friday and encouraged for Holy Saturday.
