I know that you can’t eat meat on Fridays during Lent but when are you supposed to officially start that? Thursday at sundown or at midnight? does it end the same time the next day? Also, on Ash Wednesday I ate some peanuts in the afternoon and I ate a tuna wrap for supper. Did I break the fast? I hope not…I’m really trying to do things right, but as this is my first Lent as a Catholic I’m having trouble understanding exactly what I can do. Some websites are helpful but not real definitive…Any help would be great!!! Thanks guys…God bless
