Regulations for Lenten Fast and Abstinence Regulations for Lenten Fast and Abstinence Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and catechumens should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and of preparation for Baptism or of the renewal of Baptism at Easter. Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all 18 years of age and older, who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday.
On a fast day one full meal is allowed and no meat is to be taken. Two other 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, but liquids, including milk and juices, are allowed.
Abstinence is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence, no meat is allowed.
Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law of fast and abstinence does not oblige.
Ash Wednesday, all the Fridays of Lent and Good Friday are the days of abstinence from meat.
Note: If a person is unable to observe the above regulations due to ill health or other serious reasons, other suitable forms of self-denial are encouraged.
