BG45 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yeah but if memory serves she needs it for work partially. But giving it up for Friday as a penance would work. (Also, we covered Friday being meatless in RCIA!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthephysicist Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 [quote name='tinytherese' timestamp='1340599231' post='2448572'] I take a heck of a lot longer than that since I've struggled so much in prayer for years. [/quote] I can understand that. Some days a Hail Mary only takes a few seconds, other days it can take upwards of 10 minutes. The rosary is especially difficult on those days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is better to say the bishops are inviting us all to join them in their fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
