Fasting is to be observed by all eighteen years of age and                                             Abstinence is observed by all fourteen years of age

On a fast day one full meal is allowed. Two other meals,                                               On days of abstinence no meat is allowed.

Prayer, fasting, and charity are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and catechumens should undertake
these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and of preparation for Baptism or of renewal of Baptism at Easter.
