FASTING AND ABSTINENCE
During Lent Catholics observe special days of
fasting and/or abstinence. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of both fasting and abstinence. That means we abstain from eating meat (abstinence) and we eat only one full meal on those days (fasting). A light snack two other times during the day is acceptable on days of fasting. Every Friday of Lent we abstain from eating meat.
Abstinence applies to every Catholic over the age of
14 years. Fasting applies to every Catholic between
the ages of 18 and 60 years and any other who
would choose to participate. Anyone with health
concerns that would not allow them to fast (or
abstain) is exempt from these rules. We do this
communally for several reasons: as a form of
penance, to help us bond more closely with the
plight of the poor and to symbolize our hunger for
God. Acts of fasting and abstinence should be
accompanied by special works of charity and prayer
throughout Lent.
