I remember when we Catholics did not eat meat on Fridays because it was an expression of sorrow and gratitude for the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross for us.  Then came the Second Vatican Council and we were told that it was okay to substitute another personal deed on Fridays to continue this expression of love and gratitude.  Many of us forgot about the "substitute" part.

This painting by artist Nelia Ferreira touches my soul as I greet this Friday and remember.
