As Good Friday approaches, Catholics around the world observe a longstanding tradition of abstaining from meat on this solemn day. While the practice may seem curious to some, it holds deep significance within the Catholic faith and is rooted in the rich tapestry of religious tradition.

To understand why Catholics abstain from meat on Good Friday, it’s essential to delve into the historical and theological underpinnings of this practice. While the Bible does not explicitly mandate abstaining from meat on Good Friday, the tradition finds its origins in the broader symbolism and significance of the day itself.

Good Friday marks the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, a pivotal event in Christian theology that represents the sacrificial offering of Christ’s life for the redemption of humanity’s sins. As such, Good Friday is a day of solemn reflection, repentance, and penance for Catholics, as they commemorate the profound sacrifice of Christ on the cross.

Abstaining from meat on Good Friday is a form of penance and self-denial, intended to mirror the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and express solidarity with his suffering. By forgoing meat, Catholics symbolically participate in Christ’s self-emptying love and offer their own sacrifices as a sign of gratitude and devotion.

Moreover, abstaining from meat on Good Friday serves as a reminder of the importance of simplicity and humility in the Christian life. By refraining from consuming luxurious or indulgent foods, Catholics are called to embrace a spirit of austerity and moderation, recognizing the fleeting nature of earthly pleasures in light of the eternal truths of faith.

While the practice of abstaining from meat on Good Friday may vary in its cultural expressions and interpretations, its essence remains rooted in the central tenets of Christian faith—love, sacrifice, and redemption. Through this simple act of abstention, Catholics are invited to enter more deeply into the mystery of Christ’s passion and death, and to renew their commitment to living lives of holiness and service.

The tradition of abstaining from meat on Good Friday is a poignant reminder of the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ and an opportunity for Catholics to participate more fully in the spiritual journey of Lent. As we observe this solemn day, may we be inspired to embrace the spirit of penance, humility, and compassion that lies at the heart of the Christian faith.

Published

I was actually in my final year in the university when i was persuaded by my beloved elder sister to come live with her after my graduation, then, It was just 7months gone after her wedding in which i was the chief bridesmaid. She said that she was missing my presence & needed someone around to chat & keep her company. She was 3 months pregnant so I didn’t hesitate to accept her invitation..

After my graduation i finally moved in. It was 2 months later when I realized that, I still have feelings for her husband. Truth is, I fell for the guy, the very first time that my sister introduced him to me as her boyfriend, they had just started seing each other & Eversince then, I’ve s3cr3tely been in love with him & haven’t been able to love any other guy nor keep a relationship, he’s always on my mind, I’ve always imagined us together & deep down, wish for them to separate, so i could have a chance to be with him.

All these yrs, I’ve tried to control myself, hiding my feelings but, it all came back the moment i started living with them. seing him everyday, I couldn’t help it anymore. So, i made a move on him & somehow he fell for me too, he loves me as much as i do. I see & feel it each time we’re together. We’ve been s3-cr3tly seing each other for over 4 months untill when my sister was due for delivery & Sadly, she didn’t make it but her child survived. Unfortunately again, the baby also join her mom after being with us for almost a month. This was a sad moment for the whole family..

4 months have passed & God has decided to wipe our sorrow, now we are happy & expecting a baby too, I’m currently 2 months gone, We intend to get married soon & I believe my sister will be happy wherever that she is. Her husband is a good man & I know that she wouldn’t want us to loose him to another family. I also believe that, This is destiny, all these things happened for a reason just so we could be together. God’s ways are not that of man. We haven’t told anyone yet about our plans, don’t know how family will see this but I also believe, it isn’t so much of a big deal marrying my late sister’s husband especially as they didn’t have any kids together. But we just don’t know how to go about it..

Pls, help guide us through this, we need advise we’re so much in love & really wish to get married..”

I’m Hiv/Aids positve and I really wish that, my boyfriend also gets infected, so that he can marry me

Published

Please, I need your advice, so, am going to be all honest here. Actually, i’m tired of living a reckless life and I really wish to settle down especially now that I’ve found someone that i really love and care so much about, Infact, I’m so deeply in love with this guy. For a very long time, i haven’t felt like this for anyman. He has got everything that i want in a man and even more.

He’s Handsome, rich and very successful, he’s so caring and nice to me. makes sure that, I lack nothing. I’m 100% sure that he’ll make a good husband. So I’ve been looking forward and hoping that he’ll propose to me soon. Now, lately, I’ve been trying everything possible so that he also gets infected and becomes positive too, so when he discovers that am having the virus as well, it wouldn’t in anyway hurt our relationship since it wouldn’t matter anymore then..

So, I’ve made sure that he trust me. Countless times, I’ve insisted on us doing it without protection and he’ll always accept. Sometimes I even use my nails to create a hole on the plastic and  will often kiss him when my tongue has a cu t.  but now, I’m confused and do not understand because after doing all these, I’ll bring home a fake results  showing that I’m negative and insist that he also goes for a test as well and even follow him to the hospital but am always disappointed and confused because surprisingly the test always comes out negative showing that he isn’t infected. So am really confused here..

I love this guy so much that i really wish to spend the rest of my life with him. I wouldn’t be able to take it if, i should loose him reason why, I can’t tell him about my health status. if i do he’ll leave me. Pls do not get me wrong, I’m just a girl who is inlove & trying to protect her relationship, every lady in my shoe would definitely do thesame thing. I’m 31yrs old & really wish to settle down. I feel this could be the only chance I’ve got but it’s proving difficult “

I left my 6months old boy sleeping at home with my husband just so I could rush to the nearest market and purchase food and some baby’s needs for the week But Never Knew It’s a bad Day

Published

Before I left, it was as if my 6 months old baby knew something was going to go wrong, He suddenly woke up from sleep just as I was about to steo out. Then i went back to breastfeed him thinking he was hungry but instead he refused & held me so tight while crying loudly as if he didn’t want me to go & as if he had a nightmare or something. I was so surprised because, never has it happened before since I gave birth to him. So, I tried singing him a lullaby & successfully pampered him back to sleep & quickly tip toed out of the house still leaving him with his daddy. Went out of the gate & took a taxi..

We were about to cross a bridge were, it seems like the brakes of the car failed & the driver led the car into this river beneath the bridge, we got trapped & started to drown. I can’t remember any other thing apart from that. I only woke up this evening to find myself in the hospital..

I want to thank God for sending these boys who saved my life & that of the driver. Pls help me thank this good God, for I can’t thank him enough, Oh my God  I keep asking myself, what if I had taken my baby along with me had it been he insisted on crying before i left.. He has proven himself once again”
