Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. Abstinence binds all Catholics who are 14 years of age and older.

Fast binds all Catholics who are 18 years of age, but not yet 59. Abstinence refers to refraining from the consumption of meat. Fasting refers to the quantity of food eaten. Traditionally, fasting calls for only one full meal per day.
