"Last Friday, I had fish for dinner. It was a Friday during Lent, meaning most Catholics observe the meatless Friday rule by having fish on their dinner menu. Fridays during Lent are one of the few times I eat fish. I don't like fish, never have, and probably never will but it's Lent, and I eat fish. I've learned to tolerate this annual penance, not happily, but I sit at the table and quietly eat what I don't enjoy. I do it because it helps me live the spirit of the season.
"Eating fish on Lenten Fridays helps me remember that this season is a time for me to discover those things that are less tasteful in my life. . . ."In a recent commentary, Father Jack Loughran, OSFS, reflected on the importance of remembering the practice of Lent and maintaining the spirit and focus of this penitential season.
