FAST AND ABSTINENCE
Ash Wednesday, March 2, 2022 and
Good Friday, April 15, 2022, are days of fasting and abstinence.
The practice of fasting means eating only one full meal on a prescribed day of fast supplemented with two smaller meals eaten on the same day. All Catholics who have reached their 18th birthday and have not yet reached their 60th birthday are obligated to fast. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fasting. While a Catholic is not bound to fast on the other days of Lent, the Church strongly encourages voluntary acts of penance and self-denial of some kind during Lent.
The practice of Abstinence means the abstaining from eating meat. Abstinence begins for all Catholics when they reach their 14th birthday. There is no age when the obligation to abstain from eating meat stops. Catholics are required to practice abstinence from meat as long as health permits. Ash Wednesday and all Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence.
