It has been a good thing...getting back to the traditions of the Catholic Church.
Fasting and abstinence on Fridays is an important part of our Faith.
I would encourage you to try this...see what you feel like, where your mind goes, etc.
Reflect on Christ's Passion...
Adding these ember days, contributes to that penitential response even more so...
Remembering that God has given us ALL of creation...this includes nature, the seasons, weather, etc
This is a pic that I found and reflected during this Advent Season (and will continue to this year):
It says volumes...maybe even better to reflect on throughout the entire year, but makes more sense when you read it in light of ADVENT...
HOWEVER... We have been told that "the many" (the "In crowd") are taking the broad path, while "the few" are following the narrow path to heaven
Enter by the narrow gate, since the road that leads to destruction is wide and spacious, and many take it; but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it. ~ Matt 7:13
