Good thursday Morning everyone! I hope you had a great first day of Lent and started the season with fasting, abstinence and a spirit filled Ash Wednesday service.
Thursday's challenge: Google it!
Look up who, what, when, where, how and why of Lent.
Think about what Lent has been for you in the past and what you want this Lent to be for you.
When we were at Mass on Sunday my children read the blurb in the bulletin about the fasting and abstinence rules and how they don't apply until you turn 14 years old. Now in my family the rules have always applied, no matter how old you are. When Zach questioned me again after Mass on Ash Wednesday about why he should follow the rules, my response was....."Do you eat mac and cheese?" "Then you can give up meat on Friday's".
I have often though of going back to the old rule of not eating meat at all on Friday's through out the year. We eat enough seafood and vegitarian meals that we could do it. What do you think?
Looking to deepen your Lenten experience this year? Join us for a daily Lenten challenge and walk with us on a Journey to Easter.
