Hey it's Lent
« on: February 15, 2018, 04:30:38 AM »
So Lent started yesterday and runs until Thursday, March 29.

Anyone here observe, traditional or otherwise?  I know there has been an upward trend of people doing "secular lent" and giving up various things for the period.  I guess Twitter is the most popular thing for people to give up for Lent this year.

Xele is a good Catholic.  Lent ends on Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Last Supper.

I don't do anything for lent.  I don't really have any luxuries or vices that I could give up that would really be a sacrifice.

Goddamnint Josh, you can't give up something you've already given up. 


And I'm actually not a good Catholic (is anyone really?), I got the date from Google because most of the time it knows more than me.

I wouldn't want to give it up, but it wouldn't be that much of a sacrifice for only 40 days.  Harder would be to give up gaming altogether.

I just do the no meat on ash Wednesday and for all Fridays through lent.  I'm not a church going type, but being born and raised in a predominantly Roman Catholic city has rubbed off on me this much.

...Plus it makes my mom proud of me, for once.

Priests rubbed off on a lot of boys over the years.

Typical Catholic. My fam are much more religious, but I'm the fallen one as I'm told. Last mass I attended was prolly when my cousin got married 5-6 years ago...I've been to my girls' Episcopalian more recently, but as my fam tells me, "that does not count".

So, No. I'm not doing shit for lent.
