Gnu, as a cradle Catholic myself I dare you to show me a Catholic who doesn't have guilt! *BG*

I find it more meaningful to try to change my own behavior during Lent...not always successfully but the effort is there!

An aside, one year my husband gave up meat for Lent. When a friend at work asked what we were giving up I told her, "Richard's giving up meat." She looked at me quizzically and said, "You're kidding? Why??". I thought that was kind of an odd response and asked, "What did you think I just said to you?". She thought I said that Richard was giving up me for Lent!
