"I've never observed Lent traditionally. This will be my first real year in doing so. We will be giving up meat. This is going to be hard. I pray I have the grace to remember at all times what my little sacrifice represents."

That's quite a sacrifice! No meat at all for the next 40 days? The Church only asks us to abstain from meat on the Fridays of Lent and on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Good for you!

That's what my wife said. She said if I wanted to observe Lent, I could do that. But, she will always pick one thing and abstain the entire 40 days, so I thought I would join her. Last year was sweets. I don't know how she does it.
