But we want to extend to you our hope that your Lenten season will be blessed, prayerful, and grace-filled.
And to those afflicted by the strange "days of abstinence make me want a cheeseburger/some bacon/a turkey sandwich/a steak more than I've ever wanted a cheeseburger/some bacon/a turkey sandwich/a steak in my whole life" phenomenon, we understand. And look at the bright side: there are countless souls in Purgatory who can really benefit from us offering up our meatless (and in the case of today, which is also a day of fasting, foodless) suffering.
If you're a vegetarian, good for you for saving the planet in your own special way! But Lent isn't about saving the planet so give up something besides meat today and for the next six Fridays. No free passes for vegetarians (but the cows appreciate it!). Sorry.
Anyway, we hope your Lent is off to a lovely start. We'll be back soon.
Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.

A quick note from Audrey:
Maybe all of you Catholic Vegetarians out there could give up Dairy instead of meat? Just a thought.
As for the vegans.....I don't know....maybe give up food?
Just kidding.
But good for you veggie eaters out there. You're stronger than I am...
