LENTEN REGULATIONS
FAST & ABSTINENCE
All members of the Christian Faithful are bound to do penance. Penitential days are prescribed in which the faithful, in a special way, PRAY, exercise works of PIETY and CHARITY, and DENY themselves by fulfilling their responsibilities more faithfully by observing FAST AND ABSTINENCE.
§ FAST (ages 18 to 59): Only one full meal a day. (Limiting oneself to one full meal or two lighter meals) § ABSTINENCE (ages 14 & older) § ASH WEDNESDAY & GOOD FRIDAY - Days of Fast and Abstinence (meat or meat products not allowed) § FRIDAYS OF LENT - Days of Abstinence (meat or meat products not allowed)
Of course illness releases one from these obligations, but the faithful should undertake additional works of piety, charity, and/or prayer.
