Fasting for Life.

I haven't posted on my bishop's decision to invite the people of the diocese to abstain from meat on all Fridays throughout the year because it just went into effect a few weeks ago and I've been busy, but Fr. Z and AmericanPapist have beat me to the point.

Here are there posts:
Kicking it up a notch: our Catholic identity - Fr. Z rants
Bishop Conlon restores Friday abstinence from meat in Diocese of Steubenville

And here's the bishop's letter and here is the diocese's page with catechetical materials about the whole thing.

Personally, I love this idea, though it is a challenge for me. It wouldn't be a bad thing for anyone to try.
