SJRod55 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 As much as it seems to be a bummer, I don't think that a birthday overrules the fasting and abstinence of the day. I'd offer it up as a sacrifice and celebrate the next day. Agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenna311 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 [quote name='Cathoholic Anonymous' post='1195770' date='Feb 15 2007, 09:42 AM'] My birthday is on March 12th, which means that it is going to fall in Lent for the next thirty years or so. Pah. This year it falls conveniently on a Monday, so I will just celebrate the day before. [/quote] I'm on March 11th...same thing. Although this year it is convieniently on a Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

let_go_let_God Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 [quote name='Azriel' post='1195795' date='Feb 15 2007, 09:03 AM'] I not only have a lenten birthday - but I have a leap year birthday. Double whammy!!! [/quote] So by leap years how old are you? Anyway, I'm sure all of my thoughts on this have been just uber temptations by the devil and I just want to make sure that if I do something, I'm not doing something wrong. I mean our college group is throwing a Fat Tuesday party but also I think that I might just not do anything. It's still about a week away, I can still think about what I might do. Cest la vie. Thank you for all of your thoughts thus far. God bless- LGLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Either celebrate Maundy Tuesday with your drivers license in hand and beg for mercy : or wait til the following Sunday. My birthday is Monday so I do understand, Lent interferes almost every year. Now Az, God bless you, has a double whammy. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
