Lent under VaticanII, is a fucking JOKE (I am a regular attender of the Catholic Mass, & several others to)..."two light meals & 1 real meal a day"..."whatever you gave up, you can have it on Sunday"....WE, don't do it like that..but many do...I went Kosher for lent, & considering, I only eat beef in the fall, this is a great sacrifice.
...Lent, isn't as much about penance, as it is about feeling a oneness with the Christ...if the adherent IS a real adherent, one needs not repent, for one should do nothing wrong (ie. hurt another, according to those Ten Commandments)...
