Regulations
for fast & abstinence: Good Friday, March 21, 2008,
is a day of fast and abstinence. Fridays of Lent are also days of
abstinence. Fasting is to be observed 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. Two other 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 heath or ability to work
would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. When in doubt
concerning fast and abstinence, the parish priest should be consulted.
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
renewal of baptism at Easter.
