Catholic AnswerFirst, giving up something for Lent is entirely voluntary, there are no Church regulations about it whatsoever. Second, Sundays have never been considered a day of fast nor of abstinence. Therefore, if you give something up for Lent, and you intended the whole season of Lent, then I would think you should not have it until after the Easter Vigil. However, if you are abstaining from something, like a particular food or something, then you may certainly have it on Sunday. For more clarification check with your spiritual director or confessor. The season of Lent ends on Holy Thursday with the beginning of the evening Mass, but the following three days - the Easter Triduum are actually a more strict fast, so whatever you give up for Lent should include the Easter Triduum.

How do you observe Lent?

Lent starts on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter sunday. To participate in Lent in the Catholic religion, you have to fast, or give up, meat on Ash Wednesday and every Friday until Easter Sunday. Also, if you are not a small child, you have to give up something additional. You have to give up something that could harm you or be bad for anyone in some way. For example, you could give up TV or video games. i am giving up meat for the whole lent instead of just fridays. i am also going to stop gossiping because it could hurt others.
