Subject: So much for giving up junk food for lent.......
In reply to: Joan 's message, "Ash Wednesday" on 09:44:15 02/03/08 Sun

All this talk about donuts was just too much for me and I caved in, and ended up at Dunkin Donuts this evening. If you gave in like I did. Try the Milky Way hot chocolate it is delicious.

I also didn't fast today for supper. But, yesterday when I was out to eat I thought it was Friday ,and had fish. I had fish twice this week, Monday and yesterday. That is way too much fish for me!!!

Also, this wasn't asked....did any of you attend an Ash Wednesday Service at your church?

The last time I attended to get ashes on my forhead was about four years ago.

It's not a sin if you honestly forget to abstain from meat. If I forget, I make up for it in some other way. That way I don't feel guilty. :)

Bob went to the 10 AM Mass on Ash Wednesday, and I went to the 5 PM.

If I forget, I usually fast on another day.

I always thought that when you can't eat meat on Friday's during lent it meant all types of meat. Chicken, pork, veal, lamb chops, etc.... I was reading something yesterday it only mentioned red meat during lent. I sit only red meat that Catholics cannot eat, or all types of meat?
