fasting & Abstaining from meat

DUring Lent

When we fast, we remove attachments from our life so that our prayer is more focused on God. Fasting should always be connected to our prayer.

Fasting is observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all who have celebrated their 18th birthday, but not their 60th birthday.

Abstinence from meat is to be observed on Ash Wednesday, on all Fridays of Lent, and on Good Friday by all who have celebrated their 14th birthday.
