Kill the Fatted Calf! ABOUT.COM CATHOLICISM - April 5, 2013 What a difference a week can make! Last Friday— Good Friday , the day on which we commemorate Christ's Passion and Death—was the most somber day of the liturgical year. Yet today, exactly one week later, is Easter Sunday —the most joyful day in the Christian calendar. Before you conclude I've lost my marbles, hear me out.

Z'S BLOG (OLIM: WHAT DOES THE PRAYER REALLY SAY?) - April 5, 2013 ... to the Catholic Channel on Sirius/XM a lot and yesterday a priest who is usually fairly reliable made the comment that it is a sin to fast during the 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, ...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

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 ...http://redcardigan.blogspot.com/2013/04/pope-to-change-fasting-laws.html

Don't get me wrong – I love fish, been eating it all my life and will continue to do so. It just seems like when you are compelled to eat something, it just gets onerous!

What is it with Lent and our ability to be sick each year. This has been a theme I think reading back on my own posts for this day!!

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 ...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 ...http://dymphnaroad.blogspot.com/2013/03/lent-competition.html
Lebanese Hummus and Homemade Pita Bread THE CATHOLIC FOODIE - March 1, 2013 Hummus and The Lebanese Connection We love hummus, and we eat it quite often. But it wasn't always that way. At least not for me. For me — believe it or not — there was life before hummus. I did not start to eat hummus until after I met my wife. Though, of course, when I first met her she was not my wife. She was just my friend. She then became my best friend — I don't know if hummus played a part in that — and, eventually, she became ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheCatholicFoodie/~3/r2qklyUQguQ/lebanese-hummus-and-homemade-pita-bread
The Spirit of Lent UNAM SANCTAM CATHOLICAM - February 28, 2013 I have heard it on good authority from Muslims that during Ramadan, when Muslims are expected to fast from sunrise to sunset, it is not uncommon for there to be lavish feasts and parties thrown after sunset that are grander in scope than any meal eaten outside Ramadan. Thus, the technical obligation of fasting during Ramadan is observed, but the penitential nature of the season is obfuscated. A similar phenomenon can and does happen with ...http://unamsanctamcatholicam.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-spirit-of-lent.html
