Ever since I came into the Church, I have tried (and often failed) to adhere to Lenten practises similar to what you have outlined and would observe the older customs as much as possible (meatless Fridays, austere Lent, Ember days, Christmas Eve fasting, etc). Any information you can provide would be much appreciated.Moweryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436149279739573860noreply@blogger.com
