Those younger or older are encouraged to voluntarily embrace these disciplines in so far as they are able.

Fasng and absnence should never endanger one’s health. Avoiding some form of permissible entertainment or performing sacrificial acts of charity, for example, could replace the fasng and absnence when health is a consideraon. Finally, with any penitenal discipline, both the leer and the spirit are to be maintained. For example, replacing meat with a gourmet seafood meal is not in keeping with penitenal pracce.

Also, the increasingly popular pracce of hosng “crawfish boils” and entertainments on Good Friday is highly inappropriate. Good Friday remains an extraordinary and solemn day on which we recall the suffering and death of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Good Friday should remain a day of fasng, absnence, prayer, penance, and interior and exterior quiet.
