Friday the Thirteenth has so far been marked by the fact that I am without my beloved car, just before I am due to return to work, and so have to endure public transport...
...and also by the fact that, as it's Friday, I can't even indulge in a consoling bacon sandwich.
I can't. I checked with the PP after Mass.
I'm concerned now...in the EF calendar, Easter Friday is a day of First Class, and in the OF calendar, it's a Solemnity. I thought meat was allowed on Fridays if it was one of these days?
ReplyDeleteI've been looking forward to a change from the usual fish & chips from the chippy all week.... :-(
Our priest told us from the pulpit last Monday that we are allowed to eat meat on the Fridays within the octaves of Easter, Christmas and Pentecost....
ReplyDeleteI ate meat on Friday. In fact, I deliberately made a point of eating meat, because it was Friday in the Octave of Easter. (I don't live in the U.K., but we lay Dominicans have year-round Friday abstinence as part of our Rule.)
