Yellow Diamond 7,559 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Starting on Ash Wednesday, Lent is a forty day period leading into the Easter Sunday. Catholics observe Lent as a way of both acknowledging sinfulness while striving toward the example of Christ, often by abstaining from what are otherwise considered luxuries. We're also called to abstain from eating meat on Fridays during the Lenten season as well as fasting on certain days (such as Ash Wednesday). I honestly haven't fully decided what I will do for Lent this year. I'm eager to go to confession, first and foremost; I want to do that as soon as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges

Evilshy 5,084 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm given up Lent for Lent Actually, I don't participate in any sort of "on X day, make a positive change in your life", like new years resolutions and similar. I'll make a positive change in my life when I'm damn well ready. I respect those who do, though And I'm also atheist, so I'm under no religious obligation to participate in these kind of things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkane 268 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm going for the healthy approach so as to give another purpose for my fasting rather than just religious obligations. - No meat - mandatory daily exercise - veggies all the way - no liquor - more books, less T.V. - more classical music, less metal music - no mp3 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
