YARC Abstain From Meat but Can Eat Fish on Fridays in Lent Is That Historically Red Meat Has Been a Feasting Food While TADA MINISTRIES - May 14, 2013 Yet another reason Catholics abstain from meat but can eat fish on Fridays in Lent is that historically red meat has been a feasting food while fish was much more common. Until modern refrigeration it was very hard to keep meat for significant lengths of time. Salting and curing processes were used but for the vast majority of people having red meat was reserved for special occasions. This is ...http://www.tadaministries.com/2013/02/yarc-abstain-from-meat-but-can-eat-fish.html
A Benedictine Brewer CAELUM ET TERRA - April 29, 2013 ... as above: breakfast in the morning, and lunch around 3 p.m., no dinner. Of course we do go back to the Easter schedule for the time from Christmas to Epiphany. Then from Lent until Easter, we have breakfast in the morning, then our only meal is at 5:30 p.m. On any 1st or 2nd class feast, we follow the Easter to Pentecost schedule for the day no matter what time of the year it is. Sundays are always the same too: breakfast in the morning, lunch around 1:30 p.m., and dinner ...http://caelumetterra.wordpress.com/2013/04/29/a-benedictine-brewer/
Isolated LIFE IN A SMALL TOWN - April 10, 2013 If you're looking for the Wednesday Hodgepodge, click HERE If you've read my "About Me" page, I mention that sometimes my posts are about being Catholic in the South.

Observing the Annunciation of the Lord ABOUT.COM CATHOLICISM - April 8, 2013 The Annunciation of the Lord is normally celebrated on March 25, nine months before Christmas , but since that date always falls either during Lent or the Octave of Easter, there's occasionally a little wrinkle. When March 25 falls on the Third, Fourth, or Fifth Sunday in Lent, for instance, the celebration of the Annunciation is transferred to the next day. (March 25 can never fall on the First or Second Sunday of ...http://catholicism.about.com/b/2013/04/08/observing-the-annunciation-of-the-lord.htm
Kill the Fatted Calf! ABOUT.COM CATHOLICISM - April 5, 2013 ... Before you conclude I've lost my marbles, hear me out. I know that today is really Easter Friday, but liturgically, it's still Easter Sunday. That's because the Church regards Easter, like Christmas , as too important a celebration to be confined to one day. No, I'm not talking about the Easter season— the 50 days of Easter , between Easter Sunday and Pentecost Sunday —but the Octave of Easter, the eight days from Easter Sunday to Divine Mercy Sunday (inclusive). ...http://catholicism.about.com/b/2013/04/05/kill-the-fatted-calf.htm
QUAERITUR: Is It a Sin to Fast During the Easter Octave? FR. Z'S BLOG (OLIM: WHAT DOES THE PRAYER REALLY SAY?) - April 5, 2013 ... Octave of Easter . My wife started fasting certain days during Lent and found it benefited her spiritually, she has continued to a lesser degree even after Lent ended . Is it wrong to do this at a time when the Church says we should feast to celebrate the resurrection? A sin? No, I wouldn't say that it is a sin to fast during the Octave of Easter. Also, since I didn't hear the broadcast, I wonder what the priest really said. We can sometimes ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/wdtprs/DhFa/~3/dQvbomC6cuc/
Easter and Crawfish in New Orleans THE CATHOLIC FOODIE - April 4, 2013 ... Easter. St. Augustine wrote that "The resurrection of Christ was God's supreme and wholly marvelous work." Not creation. Not stars and planets. Not the creation of man. Not even the Incarnation. But Easter… the Resurrection. The Church takes the celebration of Easter very seriously. Easter is not just a day. No, the Church celebrates Easter Day for 8 days . It's called the Octave of Easter , and each of those 8 days is liturgically celebrated as if it were Easter Sunday. The Church is ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheCatholicFoodie/~3/rkHZ9yAKurw/easter-and-crawfish-in-new-orleans
Easter Resolutions FIVE FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL - April 2, 2013 ... confuzzled and you seem to spend the next four days thinking (and telling others) it's Wednesday. But what I love about this bank holiday weekend in particular is that we are in the Octave of Easter. Yes, for eight whole days we rejoice at the Lord's resurrection with particular fervour, each day is Easter Sunday, there is no time for post-bank-holiday blues because the tomb is empty!!

Pope to Change Fasting Laws AND SOMETIMES TEA - April 1, 2013 ... thing gets confirmed in a few days, we may all have to think about it long before next year rolls around. There's a big divide between Eastern and Western approaches to fasting. We in the West fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday (though other Lenten days of fasting are highly recommended), and our fast is all about limiting the amount of food. In the East--well, here's an Orthodox website explaining things : In answer to numerous requests from readers, the rule of fasting is given for each ...http://redcardigan.blogspot.com/2013/04/pope-to-change-fasting-laws.html
Easter Dinner BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES - March 31, 2013 ... got two because they were small, and you never know if someone might stop by. Here's how I prepared them. Starting this morning, I brined them. Easy, by the way: a cup of coarse salt in four quarts of water, and the chickens soak in that for five or six hours. Then I let them dry for an hour or so in the refrigerator--that's supposed to make the skin crispier, we'll see. Then took some garlic cloves, and some herb butter I had left over, and slid that--along with some of the ...http://frmartinfox.blogspot.com/2013/03/easter-dinner.html

The first two weeks were not so hard. I like meat. I like vegetables. Its wasn't too hard to eat only that plus some fruit. It was new and a bit exciting to figure out recipes and plan new meals.

Why Is Seafood Allowed on Fridays in Lent? St Thomas Aquinas Provides the Theological Answer DR. TAYLOR MARSHALL CANTERBURY TALES - March 6, 2013 So on Fridays during Lent, Catholics may eat shrimp, sea-bass, and lobster, but not steak, spam, chicken, or hot dogs. Why? Is this distinction completely arbitrary or is there a theological, or even biblical, argument for this rule? Ray, a reader of this blog, gets to the heart of the question: We are encouraged [in Belize] to eat fish or seafood on Fridays. The odd thing is that seafood is more expensive than say chicken, so I wonder ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/taylormarshall/~3/fDvAjEGMdN0/why-is-seafood-allowed-on-fridays-in.html
Lent Competition DYMPHNA'S ROAD - March 5, 2013 Every year someone has to criticize everyone else for not doing enough for Lent. Usually they do it by comparing and contrasting the rest of us with their own righteous selves. I just read a post on another blog in which the author knocked people who enjoy a delicious meatless meal on Fridays and noted that his Friday meals are simple: soup and a cheese sandwich typically and apparently not all that tasty. I was supposed to be edified but instead I thought, "Well, ...http://dymphnaroad.blogspot.com/2013/03/lent-competition.html
