Tommorow's Ash Wednesday, which marks the start of Lent. One full meal only tommorow, as well as no meat.
I think I'm going to give up computer games and TV. I feel kinda bad because I probably could do better by giving up videogames, but I doubt I'd be able to avoid playing videogames. Giving up meat is also going to be tough as well. Anyone have good suggestions, or is anyone stuck and needs help on what to give up? |

QUOTE(vash1530 @ Mar 1 2006, 11:27 AM)  its funny watching catholics walk around with ash on their foreheads!!!  lovely. Everyone here goes at night because school starts before any masses. But so I'm an idiot. I ate breakfast this morning, got to second period and realized that it was Ash Wednesday and I wasn't supposed to have. Oops  I did give away my lunch, though.So, has anyone else heard of this rule where you can't eat meat still of course, but you can eat one real meal and two small ones? That's what my friend claimed when I mockinly chastised her for eating, and I'd heard it from my grandmother, but I always thought it was for the very young and the very old who had to eat. The other Catholic guy at my table hadn't heard of it either. |

(you only have to do this if you're 16or 18 and up-i don't remeber which one it is-.. but if you want to then you can) and on the fridays of lent you don't eat meat. (14 and up...i think) that's what i learn at chruch school |
