Scruples on Lenten fridays

[reclaimed]

Hey, does anyone else’s scruples really intensify on Fridays of Lent, like worried meat is all over everything you touch or touches you? Haha.

It is not a sin to touch meat on Friday, so, be at peace!

It’s perfectly fine to be a Catholic Butcher. Just, no sampling on Lenten Fridays.

Your intention to abstain is required. If you accidentally ingest meat, it is certainly not a sin. People have even been known to forget what day it is and accidentally eat meat on Friday, but of course that is not a sin either. Rely on the mercy of God and ask Him to relieve your fears. He knows how much you love Him and want to follow the lenten fast and abstaintion (abstention? sp?) regulation.
