Following the Third Commandment "Keep holy the Sabbath day,” the Catholic Church’s Law
states:
“On Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation, the faithful are obliged to participate
in the Mass.”
Lenten Obligations
All members of the Christian Faithful in their own are bound to do penance in virtue of divine law, in order that all may be joined in a common observance of penance. Penitential days are prescribed in which the Christian Faithful in a special way pray, exercise works of piety and charity and deny themselves by fulfilling their responsibilities more faithfully and especially by observing fast and abstinence according to the norms of Canon Law (1983 Code of Canon Law; Canon 1249)
On ASH WEDNESDAY of Lent, 22 February 2023 and GOOD FRIDAY, 07 April 20232, abstinence and fast are to be observed (Canon 1251).
ALL FRIDAYS of Lent are penitential days throughout the universal Church, in which abstinence from eating meat is to be observed (Canon 1250).
OBLIGATIONS OF ABSTINENCE AND FAST: All persons 14 and over are bound by the law of abstinence. All those 18 and over are bound by the law of fast up to age 59, inclusive. Nevertheless, pastors and parents are to see to it that children who are not bound by law of fast and abstinence are educated in an authentic sense of penance (Canon 1251).
In observing the precept of FAST one small meal and two smaller meals (which do not equal another average full meal) may be taken. Eating solid food between meals is prohibited, but liquid nourishment may be taken at any time. Taking medicine of any type does not break one’s fast.
REFLECTION ON LENTEN FASTING: If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil as the “paschal fast” to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus, and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily His Resurrection.
PLEASE NOTE: When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law of fast and abstinence does not oblige, but the spirit of penance should still be implemented as much as possible in the particular situation. If in doubt concerning one’s ability to fast or abstain, one should consult a parish priest or confessor.
HOLY EUCHARIST: All the faithful, after they have received their First Communion, are bound by the obligation of receiving Communion at least once a year.
This precept ordinarily must be fulfilled during Easter season (from the First Sunday of Lent to Trinity Sunday, inclusive in the USA). However, for a just cause (such as illness) the Eucharistic precept may be satisfied outside this period but within the same calendar year (Canon 920).
CONFESSION: “After having attained the age of discretion, each of the faithful is bound by an obligation faithfully to confess serious sins at least once a year (absolute minium)” (Canon 989). “It is to be recommended to the Christian faithful that venial sins also be confessed” (Canon 988.2)
