    • In the Latin rite, meat is prohibited on Ash Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent.  Abstaining on Wednesday is certainly a commendable pious practice.

    • Sigismund is self-admittedly not a traditional Catholic so he has given the modern rules that are used in the Novus Ordo.

    Traditionally fasting and partial abstinence is practiced on all days of Lent up to midnight on Holy Saturday. Full abstinence on Ash Wed and Fridays.

    • I believe Sunday is open: no fast and abstinence.

    Correct. You will note the Sundays are not included in the 40 days of Lent.

    • Wait, you mean when they say 40 days that doesn't include Sundays?  So we actually do penance for 40 days instead of 40-# Sundays in Lent?

    • Well, do the count yourself.

    We can, and arguably should, do some penance on every day, not just Lent days.

    But no we do not observe the Lenten Fast on the Sundays - remember?

    That is true.  I actually did not realize that there was such a marked difference between the traditional Latin Rite practice and the current one.  It has been a long time since my Latin Rite Childhood.  I follow the Byzantine practices, which are pretty rigorous and much more like the traditional Latin practices.    

    I meant no offense, and certainly no disrespect to traditional Latin rite penance.  I am sorry if it seem otherwise.

    The rules for fast and abstinence for Lent are:  

    All those who are 21-58 are bound to observe the Church fast laws under pain of serious sin.  On days of fast, only one full meal is allowed.  Two other meatless meals sufficient to maintain strength may be taken according to one's needs; but together they should not equal another full meal.  Meat may be taken at the principal meal on a day of fast except on Fridays, Ash Wednesday, and Holy Saturday.

    Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids including milk and fruit juice are allowed.  Where health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.  In doubt concerning fast or abstinence, consult your priest or confessor.

    How this helps.  May you have a blessed and edifying Lent.
