Not only fast but no meat all day as well. The Blessed Mother said, while wearing the Scapular we must say the Rosary every day. Or we can abstain all day on Wednesdays, Friday's and Saturday's. I choose to do both. Say The Rosary every day even when it is hard to pray. and I abstain from meat on those days. It won't kill us to do without meat three days a week.
We’re supposed to believe this was an innocent activity…no one hurt, etc,etc. Nobody believes that and the guy in charge and the house owner should be investigated for grooming and perverse behaviour..
In my hometown there was a beautiful convent that my parish owned. In better times they taught at a small parish school. By the time I was born they were already gone. The parish wound up selling the building and the land to make an office park. The building is intact at least. Still sad to see it go the way it did.
I am a convert to Catholicism as a middle aged adult. My first Saint prayer card was of St. Rita. Someone by St. Johns in downtown Philly handed it to me. It has been on my fridge door ever since. Father DeGrogorio is an inspiring priest.
