The Church relaxes its rules for Lenten fasting with good reason. The problem for many elderly folks is that they don’t eat enough! Bob and Pat Speer have spent their careers in overseeing meals in large institutional settings such as hospitals and long-term care facilities. They are keenly aware of these challenges and share some of their valuable experience to help us get our loved ones to eat more – even when they don’t feel like it. An unlikely mortification for most of us, but valid nonetheless.
