(which together should not equal one full meal), with no eating between meals.
Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. Catholics who are 14 years or
older should abstain from meat entirely. Soups and gravies made from meat are permitted.

“The two sacraments of the Eucharist and Penance are very closely connected. Be-
cause the Eucharist makes present the redeeming sacrifice of the Cross, perpetuating
it sacramentally, it naturally gives rise to a continuous need for conversion, for a per-
sonal response to the appeal made by Saint Paul to the Christians of Corinth: ‘We be-
seech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.’ If a Christian's conscience is bur-
dened by serious sin, then the path of penance through the sacrament of Reconcilia-
tion becomes necessary for full participation in the Eucharistic Sacrifice” (#37).
"Los dos sacramentos de la Eucaristía y la Penitencia están estrechamente relacionados. Porque la Eucaristía hace
presente el sacrificio redentor de la Cruz, perpetuando sacramentalmente, suscita naturalmente una continua nece-
sidad de conversión, de una respuesta personal a la llamada hecha por san Pablo a los cristianos de Corinto: "Os
suplicamos, en nombre de Cristo, reconciliaos con Dios". Si la conciencia de un cristiano está cargada por un peca-
do grave, entonces el camino de la penitencia a través del sacramento de la Reconciliación se hace necesario para la
plena participación en el Sacrificio Eucarístico" (# 37).
