I wondered what others were doing. I most often give up meat on Fridays, but so few of my friends do so. No one seems to be aware that the obligation even exists any more, and my friends are quite devout.
I find it difficult when I’m invited to someone’s house on a Friday and they put a big steak on my plate to abstain, less from temptation than from a desire not to be rude. So I have a rule that I follow, “Thou shalt not be a pain in the butt.” When this happens I pray an extra Rosary or give something else up like caffeine, which really hurts worse anyway. Giving up meat doestn’t give me a huge headache!!
Thoughts?
