Hi,
People over sixty and over ninety are expected to abstain from meat on the Fridays of Lent–unless they are so frail that the doctor thinks that one meatless day in the week will be harmful for them–not that this is likely. My mother is ninety seven and abstains on all Fridays of the year. It’s such a minor sacrifice–and yet a good reminder of all the the Lord suffered fir us on a Friday!
Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
