Meat on Friday

[sdkevins]

I accidentally at meat today and feel horrible about it. What should I do?

If it was an honest mistake then don’t beat yourself up over it.

If it makes you feel better you can pick another day to give up meat. You might want to think about how blessed you are to be in circumstances that allow you to eat meat so casually. Those who are truly poor don’t get that opportunity.

“Accidentally” means that the three criteria for mortal sin aren’t there. Skip meat on another day, or do some extra praying or devotional reading over and above whatever you are doing for Lent.

And have a better Friday next week

Reminds me of when I was a kid, my mom’s friend and neighbor called her hysterical because she accidently ate part of a hot dog for lunch on GOOD FRIDAY! When she realized that it was Good Friday, she spit out the bite she had in her mouth. I don’t believe it’s anything to worry about.:nope:
