stuckincincy Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Why exactly is that? Will God smite anyone who eats meat at this time? 614954[/snapback] It is more or less a period of repentance, abstaining, and atonement, with a view towards reflection upon the teachings of Jesus. Sort of like Judeaism's Yom Kippur. One would have to be very high up on God's list for Him to single you out and flatten you for having a double cheeseburger.

When you leave your cozy office in Innsbrook head on down Nuckols Rd. to Springfield Rd., Saint Michael's will be on the left hand side of the road. I'll be the guy with ashes on head.
