You don't have to fast as a child. Nor if you're ill (so that exempts you if you want it I suspect), or looking after someone who is ill, or probable several other things, but those are the ones I tend to remember.

Ah don't worry: I don't feel the need to be exempted on account of my health. I'm fine with just labelling myself lazy/a poor excuse for a Catholic :yes:

But thank you for reminding me about the exemptions. I had forgotten about that :hugs:

its not letting me multi quote anymore :frown:

so sorry I told you about the fasting thing, but i think if you didn't know then I'm 99.99999% sure that there is nothing wrong with that. You are a much better Catholic than I am.

i does sound like a plan but whether I will stick to it or not i do not know :wink:

Haha, I'm not a very good Catholic! So I doubt I'm better than you are :hugs:

Not to worry. Just keep it at the back of your mind and don't be afraid to approach them should you feel the need :smile:

some thoughts on mass yesterday...

It was jam-packed! never been to a mass with so many people I think.

It seems to depend on the priest whether you give out communion on Good Friday, either way nothing is consecrated. I hadn't had it on Good Friday before, so I was a bit confused!

My hot cross buns look funny, but taste pretty good! Woo success!

Am making another batch with a different recipe, and have remembered to follow it properly this time, so the dough feels better this time. :h:

We always have communion at Good Friday Mass in my parish.

Just got back from the vigil, it was ridiculously beautiful (even with the 7 readings!), and I didn't even hit the priest on the head with the incense this time!

I joined the choir tonight :eek:

They were so lovely though. So much singing though. And I hadn't been to an Easter Vigil service since I was a small child, so had no idea what was going on :colondollar:

Thankies

Repped you :cool:

As nice as tonight's service was, I wouldn't say you're missing out on much by not having attended it. It's the longest thing in the history of time :eek3:

I'm so proud of myself. Made it through Easter with no suicide attempts! Thanks to all of you for your prayers and fellowship. Happy Easter everyone! He is Risen! Alleluia! :woo:
