Roman Catholics fast because Jesus fasted for 40 days without food or water but preaching in the name of God, before Good Friday.
Roman Catholic AnswerCatholics mainly fast as a form of penance, to discipline the body, and to deny themselves themselves: in order to more perfectly align their wills with Our Blessed Lord. During the season of Lent this is particularly to commemorate Our Blessed Lord's Passion and Death. Historically, and even now, for some, Catholics have fasted on Wednesdays and Fridays (that are NOT feast days).
