Fasting and Abstinence Guidelines
In their Penance and Abstinence pastoral, the U.S. Bishops declared: “the obligation both to fast and to ab-
stain from meat, an obligation observed under a more strict formality by our fathers in the faith, still binds on
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. No Catholic Christian will lightly excuse himself from so hallowed an ob-
ligation…” They also stated: “we preserve for our diocese the tradition of abstinence from meat on each of
the Fridays of Lent, confident that no Catholic Christian will lightly hold himself excused from this peniten-
tial practice.”
Fasting: Catholics 18-59 years of age who are in good health are obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and
Good Friday. On all the weekdays of Lent, the U.S. Bishops strongly encourage the faithful to participate in
Mass and to observe a self-imposed fast. The law of fasting allows only one full meal a day, but does not pro-
hibit taking some food in the morning and evening. Customarily, the two smaller “collations,” when consid-
ered together, should not equal the main meal—and ideally should be eaten only if needed to maintain one’s
strength.
Abstinence: All Catholics 14 years of age and older are obliged to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday,
Good Friday, and all the Fridays of Lent, unless the Friday is a solemnity (there are no solemnities in 2019).
