nope. i keep my lenten fast and don’t look for wiggle room ; ) xsbaby attends a bible study at St Philips on Sunday PMs and they serve dinner. There was bday cake for someone there and she declined, since she also gave up sweets for lent. the Catholics were all saying “but it’s SUNDAY” she said i don’t go by that. I know we have talked about that here. i think it’s lame to take Sundays off the Lenten fast. Jesus was 40 days in the desert, did he take Sundays off??
Every Sunday is a feast day. A mini celebration.
I think it’s fantastic that she is doing that on Sunday nights. Is it for young people? What are they studying?
Our priest officially announced that it is our choice to take Sundays off or not, either way is good. I, too, am fasting for Lent. Lost some weight already. I didn’t go without all desserts, though...a couple of times a week I indulge. I hadn’t realized how much stuff just pops into my mouth between meals, though. I am finding it’s too easy to do now that I am well into Lent. Hopefully, I can keep it up after.
I am off for my day...breakfast, Mom’s prayer group this morning, mass, then the doctor’s office. I am falling apart. RME Hopefully, we can do the knee injections again. My left knee is giving me problems.
Just read a really good book...I highly recommend it. “Heaven is Here”, by Stephanie Nielson. She has a blog, the NieNie Dialogues. The book is the story of her plane crash and recovery. I alternately smiled and cried my way through the book. Quite a journey, and quite a lot of faith in God.
