Tomorrow is a FRIDAY in LENT:
a day to abstain from eating meat.
What does that mean?
Catholics over 14 years of age
are expected to abstain from eating meat
on the Fridays of Lent.
For more on this topic, check out this earlier post...
Note: Individual, personal health concerns and "doctor's orders" always take precedence over regulations for fast and abstinence!
Fast and Abstinence In Lent
In addition to personal Lenten practices, Catholics are also called to a communal practice of self-denial by abstaining from meat on Ash Wednesday, the Fridays of Lent and on Good Friday.

All Christians are called to special prayer, fasting and caring for the poor in the season of Lent.
Each person determines how he or she will personally live out these ancient Lenten exercises.
