Friday in Lent: How It’s Supposed to Be, and How It Is

 

A day of fasting,

A day of abstinence,

A day of prayer,

A day of meditation, and

A day of coping with the passing time.

 

 

Instead—

A day of feasting,

A day of indulgence,

A day of seeking,

A day of travail, and

A day of victory for the passing time.
