“I served pork chop for dinner on Friday. My mother-in-law almost had a heart attack.”

Catholics have begun the period of Lent, which lasts forty days. For the faithful, every Friday is a day of penance, during which there is strict fasting and abstinence from meat.. Internal church regulations require that all believers over 14 years of age should not eat meat on that day, and those aged 18 to 60 should eat two light meals and one full meal on that day. And since a person has a lot of responsibilities, he often forgets about them. There are also those who do not believe in God and do not fast, or they simply believe and forget. However, the family is able to skillfully recall family traditions and at the same time measure things appropriately with their eyes. And this is how unnecessary conflicts arise. The proof is the story of our reader Mrs. Weronika, who lives with her in-laws with her husband and son.

“My father-in-law is a completely different generation than ours, which cannot explain anything to each other. We will always be worse.”

“We have been living in one house with our in-laws for over two years. We knew it wouldn’t be very nice, but we had no choice, because in order to build our dream house, we had to save a lot of money. It was obvious that only by living with our parents would we be able to quickly accumulate funds. We don’t have separate kitchens and bathrooms, so in fact, we constantly pass each other. Although at the beginning we had a relatively good relationship, eventually the moment came for the first quarrels. My father-in-law is a completely different generation than ours, which cannot explain anything to each other. I noticed that we We will always be worse, even if we do something that should be praised. Recently, however, my mother-in-law has gone too far and I am not ashamed to say it out loud. After all, I am not fifteen years old to lecture me.

“My mother-in-law almost had a heart attack when my husband boasted that no one makes better cutlets than his wife.”

My husband comes from a very religious family, but under his influence I also opened up to God. You could say that we take and practice. Most likely, we will also want to baptize our children in the future, but of course this will take time. Lent has recently started, but I forgot and served pork chop for dinner on Friday. My mother-in-law almost had a heart attack when my husband boasted that no one makes better cutlets than his wife. Well, we both simply forgot that it’s Friday and Lent is already here and that you don’t eat any food then. It was stupid and that’s all. At first, I thought I would burn with shame, but after thinking for a while, I jokingly announced that it was an accident at work that would never happen again. I felt that this explanation was not enough for her, so I said that we were going shopping and left the house. “I regretted later that I hadn’t blown her off, but I just respect her too much.”

Gretel.

There are only two days a year when the Church observes strict fasting: Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

Lent in the Christian tradition is a period of penance and waiting for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. According to the teachings of the Church, it lasts 40 days. It begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Maundy Thursday. This is the first day of the so-called The Paschal Triduum and the end of Holy Week. It commemorates the establishment of two sacraments by Christ – the Eucharist and priesthood, and on this day the Mass of the Lord’s Supper takes place in churches. On Good Friday, there is no mass – but there is a liturgy of the Passion of the Lord, and the faithful are obliged to fast in memory of the martyrdom of Jesus on the cross. The last day of the Triduum is Holy Saturday, which is a time of silence and waiting for the resurrection of Christ. On this day, the food prepared by the faithful for breakfast, eaten ceremonially on Easter Sunday, is also blessed.
