My bad fast ash wednesday

paperwight:

Are you sure about that? I thought the obligation to abstain from meat is from 14 for the rest of life

LOL! @phil19034 corrected his post, which was originally about fasting, not abstinence. When he said he corrected it (and I have to admit, I didn’t look, but I presumed that he changed “14” to “18”), if he changed the topic to ‘abstinence’, then he should have dropped the “until 59” part. You’re right @paperwight – the obligation to abstain does not expire at any given age.

Ugh!!! I “corrected” it only to make it more wrong!!! I just deleted my post.

Thanks for catching my other mistake —- UGHHH

Abstinence is from the age of 14 to death.

“Abstain until you die from it”??? …that’s not the way I remember it.

I would consider this to be within what is permitted.

Breakfast (a meal): a slice of toast and a cup of coffee.

Lunch (main meal): Cheese omelette with salad followed by a coffee.

Supper (meal): Tuna mayonnaise sandwich with a cup of tea.

That depends. Would this be your usual amount of food consumed daily? If so, then you should cut down on it for a fast day.

LOL! No worries… we all have days like that on the forums!
