Traditional Latin Fasting Methods for Lent

[Pope_Noah_I]

What is the traditional Latin method of fasting for Lent? I wanted to use it this year.

Basically, fast every day but Sunday, and at your major meal you can have meat (except on Friday, of course).

Thanks for that link - I read last year here about posters speaking of fasting all through Lent. I grew up roughly pre- and during Vatican II changes. I used to hear that my grandfather (long gone then) used to fast the entire 40 days. But I don’t ever recall the Baltimore Catechism mentioning that we had to fast all 40 days (unless it mentioned an age group I wasn’t in yet???). Abstinence was a given pre-Vatican II.

Now, I was surprised to note the Traditional “all 40” days for fasting. Hope I haven’t / am not now currently committing a sin. I follow the Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and regular Fridays fast AND abstinence days. But wondering alot now. Which way?

According to my research, you fast every Friday of lent. Abstinence and fasting on Ash Wednesday and also good Friday. That’s it.

According to my research, you fast every Friday of lent. Abstinence and fasting on Ash Wednesday and also good Friday. That’s it.

corrections you abstain on all Fridays of lent. and ash Wednesday and Good Friday are day of abstinence and fasting.
