San Francisco de Asís

Fasting during the sacred season of Lent serves as a spiritual discipline for Catholics through acts of self-denial. Those aged 18-59 observe this practice on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday—one full meal and two small meals (not to equal a full meal), with liquids permitted throughout the day. Abstinence binds those 14 and older to forgo meat on Lenten Fridays, while permitting fish, eggs, and dairy. The Church, in her wisdom, excuses those who are ill, pregnant, nursing, engaged in demanding physical labor, or face other serious circumstances. When in doubt, ask your pastor.
