Lent Rules
As Jesus fasted 40 days in the desert, the Church traditionally fasts
during Lent. A form of bodily prayer, fasting and abstinence in union with
other Christians reminds us of our utter dependence on and love of God. A
gesture of repentance, fasting is symbolic of a change of heart as we turn
away from sin to live in fidelity to the Gospel. Fasting: Ages 18-59 fast
on Ash Wednesday and
Good Friday, limiting themselves to one full meal
and two smaller meals each day, with no snacking
between meals. Abstinence: Catholics age 14 and older abstain from meat on
Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all the Fridays of Lent.
