What’s an appropriate wish for lent? I assume it’s not “happy holidays”. Have a meaningful fast?
You want fries with your filet o’ fish?
There’s another thread whether to put mayo on those fries. Lent not a consideration discussed there so far.
I’ve already had eggs for breakfast.
My whole Lent has gone to shit!
Oh, well. Wasn’t going to observe anyway.
Sorry I don’t get the picture?
Ash Wednesday (or Lent in general) is not the type of holy day that needs a greeting.
The main thing we want is to not hear “you’ve got a smudge on your forehead”
Yes, yes we do. We know.
You can have eggs… just not bacon.
no bacon? seems entirely pointless
Fasting in Catholicism is a bit of a joke.
You can have one full meal on a fast day, or a couple small snacks. [no meat, of course, unless you eat fish, which is not a meat somehow, or capybara or one of the other mammals that various missionaries tricked the Vatican into saying “If you want to eat that nasty shit, by all means. It’s a penance!”]
I had oatmeal with watermelon for lunch [I put the watermelon in the oatmeal. That was not a great idea.]
Cool!
Still not observing.
No prob. I’ll pray for you.
Thanks!
Vegetarian Catholics have to eat meat for lent (I used to be Catholic and vegetarian but not at the same time).
i controlled myself from posting that in here.
Uhhh what?
I am not catholic, but I observe Lent.
You didn’t hear me the first time?
I’m just trying to figure out if you’re serious or joking. I know plenty of vegetarian and vegan Catholics.
