Honest question from a Luthern. All you Catholics give up pop or Facebook or whatever. Wouldn't this effort be better spent giving up something more meaningful? Something that makes you a better catholic.?
Ive always wondered this
Well it is suppose to be a sacrifice and it really depends on the person. If you think you spend too much time on facebook and choose to limit yourself, couldn't that help you be a better person/Catholic? I don't drink much pop so giving it up wouldn't be much of a sacrifice. One could always choose to do more of something like praying, doing some community service, going to confession, or donating more money.
What ever happened to a good old fashioned human sacrifice?
