Guidelines for Fast and
Abstinence During Lent
Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics fourteen
(14) years of age and older on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all
the Fridays of Lent. Fasting is to be observed by all Catholics who
are eighteen (18) years of age but not yet fifty-nine (59) years of
age on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Those who are bound to fast
may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted if
necessary to maintain strength according to one’s needs, but eating
solid foods between meals is not permitted. Catholics should not
lightly excuse themselves from these prescribed Lenten penitential
practices.
