I'm not Catholic either...but I would say repenting is a good option, no?
PS: This might be a stupid question, but why no meat today??
Thank you - going to church tonight.
In regards to meat - some catholics do not have meat or meat products during lent, others do it on Fridays only, and some on Good Friday only. I only avoid having meat on Good Friday, which this year happens to be my bday!
Why Do Catholics Fast and Abstain During Lent?
Lent is the period of time leading up to the crucifixion (when Christ paid for the world?s sins) and the resurrection (when he defeated death and promised to help his followers do the same). Lent was chosen as an appropriate time for fasting because it is the ideal time for repentance (being sorry for your sins) and penance (doing something to right the wrongs you?ve done).
Why Do Catholics Abstain from Meat on Fridays?
Friday is the day that Jesus died, so Catholics abstain from eating meat (flesh) on Fridays during Lent out of respect for Jesus who gave up his own flesh to pay for the world?s sins. Before Jesus, sins were ?paid for? by animal sacrifice (see Leviticus 1:4, Romans 6:23). The death required to atone for sin was the death of a sacrificial animal. When Jesus died on the cross to pay the price of humanity?s sin he personally became the last sin sacrifice. After Christ?s death, no animal sacrifice was necessary to pay for sin, because his death paid the price of sin in full for all future generations. Today, Catholics thank and honor Jesus for his sacrifice by not sacrificing (eating) animal flesh on Fridays during Lent.

Thanks. Those are great answers. I was raised Catholic and although I don't practice anymore, I'm still respectful of the lenten season. What are you guys giving up or working on for lent?
