Fasting: The law of fasting binds those who have attained their majority (age 18 until 59 years of age). This law allows only 1 (one) full meal a day, and does not prohibit taking some food in the morning and evening. Fasting is obligatory on Good Friday.
Abstinence: The law (Cannon 1252) of abstinence binds those who have completed 14 years of age. Abstinence prohibits Catholics from consuming meat, and should be observed on Fridays of Lent and Good Friday.
Parents should ensure that even those, who by reason of their age are not bound by the law of fasting and abstinence, are taught the true meaning of penance (sacrifices, refraining from a negative attitude, offering prayers for others, offering your confession and increasing almsgiving, etc.)
