LENTEN REGULATIONS
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence from meat for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.
For members of the Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 14 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal.
The purpose of fasting is to turn back to God. Missing that primary purpose makes fasting fruitless. Fasting has become a popular secular practice for everything from medical treatments to weight loss, but these uses are secondary.
Those who are exempt from fast and abstinence outside the age limits include the physical or mentally ill, including individuals suffering from chronic illnesses such as diabetes. Also excluded are pregnant and nursing women. In all cases, common sense should prevail, and ill persons should not further jeopardize their health by fasting.
