Veridicus Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 That's funny. I also forgot it was Friday. I got out of class early and met my parents at McDonalds. My mom bought me a Chicken Buscuit with a coupon. The road to hell may also be paved with delicious Southern Style Chicken Biscuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No, I believe the US has an indult (one of many) which abrogates the yearlong Friday requirement to abstain from meat. Some people voluntarily conform to the tradition of the Church even though it isn't an official obligation. For me its a way of viewing every Friday as a smaller Good Friday which emphasizes the Triduumesque opportunity of each weekend. Great opportunity to deny myself something.

elizabeth09 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) Resurrexi, we have our days. It happen to me one year during lent. All that I remember is that Thursday night, I made a PBJ. Then when I was having pizza, I thought about Friday and Lent. How funny. Edited January 29, 2010 by elizabeth09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeenanParkerII Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Dude I've done that so many times. Just abstain from meat for the rest of the day. A little rosary-praying never hurts either! I happily remembered today! Tofu stir fry tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
