Lenten Regulations

 

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. The Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence in

the United States.

 

The obligation of abstinence (refraining from eating meat) begins at age 14. The law of fasting (limiting oneself

to one full meal and two lighter meals) obliges all between the ages of 18-59.

 

Those individuals who have a medical condition in which fasting may be considered harmful are not

obliged to fast, but should perform some other act of penance or charity.

 

Pastors and parents are to see to it that minors, though not bound by the law of fast and abstinence, are educated in

the authentic sense of penance and encouraged to do acts of penance suitable to their age.

 

All members of the Christian Faithful are encouraged to do acts of penance and charity during the Lenten season

beyond what is prescribed by the law.

 

As a general rule, a request for dispensation from the obligation of abstinence on Fridays of Lent will not be considered

unless some serious reason is present. The attendance at social events, banquets, wedding rehearsals or receptions

or funeral wakes are not considered sufficient reason to request a dispensation.
