Lenten Guidelines
The days of fast and abstinence are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. All other Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. To fast in the Catholic tradition means to limit oneself to one full meal during the day so as to experience hunger. The obligation to fast applies only to Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59. The obligation of abstinence in the Catholic tradition means to abstain from meat and all meat products. All Catholics aged 14 and older are included.
From the Evening Mass of The Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday until the celebration of the Easter Vigil on the evening of Holy Saturday, the Easter Fast should be observed so that, with uplifted and welcoming hearts, we may be ready to celebrate the joys of the Resurrection.
The obligation of fast and abstinence, as a whole, is a serious obligation.
While failure to observe any penitential day in itself may not be considered serious,
the failure to observe any penitential days at all, or a substantial number of them,
without good cause, would be considered grave matter.
