I was curious what your Lent looked like. How many meals do you actually eat per day? For the first time, I am observing the pre-Vatican II Lenten Fast...which is the full 40 days (minus Sundays).

We eat three usual meals, though we are taught to limit our food everyday, not just in Great Lent. On the other hand, we definitely eat more than you guys.

My very Irish Catholic dad followed the pre-Vatican II fast in Lent his entire life...and he gave up booze too...except on Sundays.

BTW, there are some days during Great Lent when we can have wine and fish. The feast of the Annunciation is one.
