Fasting and Abstinence

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics from age 18 until 59. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may also be taken, but not to equal a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Catholic Church from age 14 onwards. In addition, as Catholics, we choose a penance to perform for all of Lent. Penance should get you out of your comfort zone. It should generally not be motivated by mere self-improvement, but rather to address some of our flaws and repeated sins… to bring us closer to our Lord. Our fasting and penance should be done always in recognition of the fact that Jesus has sacrificed everything for our sake, and we desire to respond in love.
