  • My calendar says no meat, but that doesn't mean you have to fast.

  • Holy Days of Obligation are never days of fast or abstinence.  If your calendar says no meat, it is mistaken.  If the Feast of the Circuмcision is not a Holy Day where you are, then it is a day of abstinence.

    Hmm.  My calendar has no little fishy today.  It's a Feast Day!  No fasting or abstaining!  Our traditional Southern New Years Day meal of pork chops is going on the table.   :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

  •  Many forget with so much secular world not being Catholic.
    I would think all us need a reminder.  :ready-to-eat:
