Keep up the practices suggested here. Make God the number one priority in your life. Both Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. All the Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. In between these meals one cannot have food.
Abstinence means that no meat or things made from meat can be eaten on that day.
The fasting law applies to ages 21 to 59 inclusive. The abstinence law applies beginning at age 14 and then applies to everyone. In various apparitions Our Blessed Mother is asking for repentance and conversion. Let us begin Lent with a good examination of conscience and confession. Thursday is traditionally dedicated to devotion to the Holy Eucharist.
