Something to Consider, Pope Benedict

So the boys were having a serious conversation about Lent yesterday. They came up with a new idea for Lent. They thought that it would be a serious sacrifice for Catholics to have to grow & hunt their own food during Lent. AND they would be prohibited from buying food from a grocery store. According to them, people would be checked to see if they were Catholic before being allowed to shop. And if a Catholic sneaked in and actually purchased groceries, they would be "pursued" & their groceries confiscated. "Now that would be a sacrifice for God, Mom." Ummm, okay. Abstaining from meat on Fridays seems so do-able now!
