Fasting and Abstinence: Fasting refers to eating less, mainly instead of having 3 full meals in the day, having one full meal and two smaller meals that together would not equal one full meal. Abstinence, refers to refraining from eating meat (beaf, pork, chicken). Every person 18 years or older must abstain from meat (and items made with meat) on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all the Fridays of Lent. Every person between the age of 18 and 59 (beginning of 60th year) must fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Those that are excused from fast and abstinence outside the age limits include the physically or mentally ill including individuals suffering from chronic illnesses such as diabetes. Also excluded are pregnant or nursing women. In all cases, common sense should prevail, and ill persons should not further jeopardize their health by fasting.
