Fasting has traditionally been understood to mean only one meal (taken after 3pm), and only one very small snack (like a piece of bread with honey, or a few veggies). Those who are grown and healthy might consider incorporating this practice on even a weekly basis, especially Fridays M how- ever, growing children, the elderly, the sick, pregnant mothers, etc should speak first with their con- fessor. According to Church Law, fasting means one meal taken any time of the day and two small snacks; however, Father Ryan encourages you to consider even greater sacrifice. Abstinence has traditionally been understood to mean not just avoiding meat, but also products de- rived from these animals M namely, broth, meatgravy, dairy, eggs, etc. This is the origin of the “,” since eggs were forbidden during Lent. This is also why Catholics were called “Fish eat- ers” because they couldn’t eat meat or eggs or dairy M fish was a major part of the Lenten diet. Less than 100 years ago, abstinence was practiced not only on Fridays, but also on Wednesdays and Saturdays M and even “partial abstinence” on every day of Lent (including Sundays), which meant that meat, eggs, or dairy could only be eaten at one meal during the day. The more ancient practice was to fully abstain from meat, eggs, and dairy on every single day of Lent, and to fast every day but Sunday! According to Church Law, abstinence means only from meat, but Father Ryan encourages you to consider even greater sacrifice. For those who are able, it would be good to consider practicing abstinence from meat, eggs, and dairy on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays M especially on the Ember Days of the First Week of Lent. And even to adopt partial abstinence on every day of Lent.

Regular Friday Penance throughout the Year According to the Canon Law of the Church (see Can. 12501253), each and every Friday through the entire year is a day of penance. This is prescribed by the Law of the Church. In the Universal Church, Catholics are obligated to abstain from meat on all Fridays of the year. The US Bishops have ob- tained permission for some other form of penance for Fridays outside of Lent. However, we re- call that all US Catholics are obligated to do penance of some sort on every Friday of the year (excepting if it be a solemnity; for example, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart). Penance on Fridays is binding on all Catholics from 14 years until death. There is no upper age limit to abstaining from meat or some other form of penance outside of Lent. However, the two days of fasting (Ash Wednes- day and Good Friday) bind only from 18 to 60 years M we are encouraged to fast on Holy Saturday.
