Season of Lent 1) Lent is to be observed by Catholics as a special season of prayer, penance, and works of charity.
2) Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are the most important penitential days of the liturgical year. They are days of both fast and abstinence. All Fridays in Lent are days of abstinence.
3) The rules for fasting state that only one full meal a day can be taken. Two small meals, “sufficient to maintain strength are allowed but together they should not equal another full meal.” Eating between meals breaks the fast, but drinking liquids does not. The rule of fasting obliges Catholics from age 18-59 years.
4) Abstinence refers to refraining from eating meat. The rule of abstinence binds all Catholics age 14 years and older.
5) The substantial observance of the laws of fast and abstinence is a serious obligation. Those whose work or health would be impaired are excused from fasting and abstaining.
