                                         OBLIGATION?
                                         Ash Wednesday is not a holy day
                                         of obligation. But it is an extremely
                                         important day that the begins an
                                         extremely sacred season. Ash
                                         Wednesday is a day of fast and
                                         abstinence.
                                         WHY DO WE RECEIVE ASHES ON
                                         ASH WEDNESDAY?
                                         In the Old Testament, people put
                                         ashes on their heads to show
                                         sorrow for sins. Ashes are a sign of
                                         penance and call to us to turn
                                         away from sin and be faithful to
                                         the Gospel. They also recall that
                                         our life on earth is temporary. We
                                         are made from dust and to dust
                                         we shall return. Just as God
                                         breathed His life into dirt when he
                                         created Adam, the first human,
                                         God can breathe new life into
                                         those who have fallen into sin and
                                         reorder the parts of our lives that
                                         need it.
                                         WHAT ARE THE RULES ABOUT
                                         FASTING AND ABSTINENCE?
                                         Ash Wednesday and Good Friday
                                         are days of fast and abstinence.
                                         Fasting allows one full meal and
                                         two smaller meals, sufficient to
                                         maintain strength (but together
                                         they should not equal another full
                                         meal). Eating between meals is
                                         not permitted, but liquids, including
                                         milk and fruit juice are allowed. The
                                         law of fasting obliges all between
                                         the ages of 18-59. When medical
                                         conditions would be seriously
                                         affected, the law does not oblige.
                                         Abstinence prohibits the eating of
                                         meat. Fridays of Lent (in addition
                                         to Ash Wednesday and Good
                                         Friday) are days of abstinence in
                                         the United States. The obligation of
                                         abstinence applies to everyone
                                         over the age of 14.
                                         WHY CAN’T WE EAT MEAT ON ASH
                                         WEDNESDAY, LENTENS FRIDAYS,
                                         AND GOOD FRIDAY? It has the
                                         goal of love and surrender to God.
                                         This break in the normal routine
                                         serves as a reminder that the basic
                                         needs of life should point us to the
                                         goodness of God. Scripture has a
                                         long record of abstaining from
                                         certain foods as part of religious
                                         practice. We continue this
                                         practice, not because eating meat
                                         is bad, but to turn our minds more
                                         consciously to God.
