Lenten Fast and Abstinence:
@
Everyone 14
years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash
Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent.
@
Everyone 18
years of age and under 59 years of age is bound to fast on
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. (The obligation of fasting
ceases with the celebration of one's 59th birthday.)
@
On Ash
Wednesday and Good Friday, only one full meatless meal is
allowed. Two other smaller meatless meals, sufficient to
maintain strength, may be taken according to each one's
needs, but together they should not equal another full meal.
Eating between meals is not permitted on these two days, but
liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed. When
health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the
law does not oblige.
@
Catholics
should not lightly excuse themselves from these prescribed
minimal penitential practices.
