Lenten Guidelines: Fast & Abstinence
Abstinence:
Is a penitential practice consisting of refraining from
the consumption of meat and is to be observed by all
Catholics who are 14 years of age and older. Ash
Wednesday, Good Friday, and the Fridays during Lent are
days of abstinence. Pastors and parents are encouraged
to see that children who are not bound by the
obligations to fast and abstain are led to appreciate an
authentic sense of penance.
FAST & ABSTINENCE:
In addition to abstinence, fasting is to be observed by
all Catholics between the ages of 18-59 years
(inclusive). On days of fasting, you are allowed one
full meal. Eating between meals in not permitted, but
liquids are allowed. Note: if a person is unable to
observe the above regulations due to ill health or other
serious reasons, they are urged to practice other forms
of self-denial that are suitable to their condition.
