Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. (Romans 14:19-20)
Lent is a very personal thing. It is about our own relationship with our Lord. Do you judge other people for their observance, or lack thereof?
Do you eat food around those who are fasting, or loudly refuse food at a meal when you are fasting?
Do you silently condemn others for doing less than you, or nothing at all, or for their pride in their discipline?
Lent is about drawing closer to GOD, but don’t let us let it be a time for drawing further away from our brothers and sisters and fellow FISH.
