Catholic Girls

How many of you go by the no meat rule on Fridays during Lent? I am not the most devote Catholic here but for some reason I still go by it.

Re: Catholid Girls

I go by that and started since I've been dating DH.

Although I didn't get a chance to get my ashes today.

Yep, I'll be going by it.

I'm not a very strict Catholic, but I wont eat meat on Ash Wednesday or any Friday during lent.

After 12 years of Catholic school, I have rice ball casserole with me for lunch which has meat filling. Sometimes I do no meat, sometimes I don't. However, the fact that I'll be at work until at least 8 tonight, I had to bring leftovers with me.

Re: Catholic Girls

I'm not Catholic but I grew up with Friday lent since my dad is Catholic. Since DH is Catholic as well I'm making fish tonight and pasta on Friday. I don't give up anything for lent though...

Re: Catholid Girls

No, I usually eat meat on Fridays despite the fact that I'm not supposed to. If that's the worst thing I do with my life (which it's not) I think I'm good.

Put a little extra sauce on the side for after it bakes. Naturally, I didn't make it low fat and changed some things around. I would make it again though.

Re: Catholic Girls

Okay I am a Catholic Girl, and I have always been the 'God won't strike me down if I have some beef on Fridays during Lent' type of Catholic.

But this morning, I heard my DH say to me that he was not eating his left over steak dinner for lunch coz it was Ash Wednesday......and this from a man who never attended Catholic school, but devoutly follows the teachings during Lent. I felt so guilty that I decided I was going to be inspired by him to try to steer away from meat for Lent. Let's see how that goes.

Re: Catholic Girls

We don't eat meat on Fridays during Lent or on Ash Wednesday. Making baked ziti tonight (without the meat). However, it is possible that I've forgotton on a Friday and slipped.
