Catholic in college right now; my first Lent with other Catholics outside my parish.
We were talking about Lent recently and someone said that you don't have to keep your Lent sacrifices on Sundays because they're a day of rest.
I mentioned this to someone else and he said in his famiily the rule only applied to kids.
Most Catholics I talked to never heard of it.
Any thoughts? Also, this is really naive of me, but are we the only ones that do Lent? My Anabaptist friend had never even heard of it until college.
Thanks again. I've been lurking this board since December. I hope to participate more in the future.
