          Ordinary Time Friday
          Read more...

          This day we remember the passion of Our Lord. This emphasis is so essential to the Church that she asks us to make some sort of sacrifice on this day (even outside of Lent). Traditionally, abstinence from meat has been that sacrifice, but there may be others more appropriate to your family’s circumstances. Some examples: abstinence from sweets, television, videos, or other forms of entertainment. You may also encourage the family to make a sacrifice together. First, decide if abstinence from meat is truly a sacrifice in your family. If not, decide on something that is.

          On Fridays you could also:

          1. Review the Stations of the Cross.
          2. Banish bickering.
          3. Recognize the sacrifices of others.
          4. Study the virtue of fortitude.
