Further notes on FASTING on SOLEMNITIES during LENT: Fasting was observed on all days of Lent, Sundays excepted. Contrary to what many believe and what many currently available “traditional” calendars claim, this even applied to major feast days (St. Joseph and the Annunciation), in order to preserve the integrity of the forty days of fast. Complete abstinence from meat was observed on Fridays and the Ember Days of Lent.
Partial abstinence (meat allowed once) was observed on
the remaining days. Although these regulations no longer
bind, anyone able to do so is exhorted to follow the
more strict, traditional fast and abstinence during the
season of Lent. Although not as meritorious as when it
was required by the Church, because now only the virtue
of temperance, but not obedience, is being exercised,
fasting is still a valuable means to bring the appetites
under control and free the mind to contemplate higher
things, as long as any temptation to pride is avoided, as
the Pharisee who boasted about his observance of
fasting.
