*Fasting & Abstinence:

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of both fasting and abstinence. All Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. Fasting is obligatory for all those ages 18-59 (one full meal and two smaller snacks not to equal a meal). Abstinence from all meat products is binding on those ages 14 and up.
