| REVIVING FRIDAY SACRIFICES [Rachel Watkins] |

Do any of you keep the Friday "Meatless" Fast? I will admit we don't regularly. We are culturally Catholic in that regard but certain situations in my family have made me decide to revive it.
These situations are with extended family members rather than my own children/husband but still cause me sorrow and concern (prayers are welcome).
I was considering what concrete sacrifice I could do for this situation - and in that it is Friday - thought of meatless. It is not as if it is really hard anymore as pizza and grilled cheese are easy enough and always welcomed.
I also know that my four oldest children all do meatless as a part of their religious lives so I can be with them spiritually in this as I was when I wore skirts every day for a year as my daughters do. (I still wear skirts most days but not every day).
I am pondering what to do as daily fast/sacrifice for this family situation and would welcome suggestions as I tend to think of things that really aren't that hard but easily fit into my life.
