Or
I Ate Meat on Friday During Lent. Is That a Sin?
Send a text
It’s Friday during Lent. You forget and eat a burger.
Or your child’s birthday falls on Good Friday.
Or you’re holding a slice of pizza thinking, “Wait… did I just commit a mortal sin?”
In this episode, Nicole walks through what the Church actually asks of us during Lent — and what it doesn’t.
We cover:
• What Catholics are required to do on Fridays in Lent
• The difference between forgetting and deliberately rejecting Church teaching
• What fasting and abstinence are really about
• How to handle a Good Friday birthday
• Why Lent is about freedom, not fear
If you’re new to the Church, raising kids, or trying to live Lent faithfully in a world that doesn’t observe it, this conversation is for you.
The framework is simple:
Put Christ first. Then celebrate freely.
Catechism references mentioned:
CCC 1438
CCC 2043
CCC 1857
