Dear Sibling,
All of Lent is a period of penance, but especially Friday.
Because Friday was the day Christ died.
On Friday’s the Church expects the faithful to abstain from meat [1].
But, we can further our penance by observing other penitential acts:
Prayer
Fasting (having 1 regular meal and 2 light meals)
Silence
Small sacrifices
Small acts of service
All of these can help us practice submitting our internal desires to our will.
And uniting our will to God’s.
– Ryan
