And so the reason we don't fast on Sundays or Sundays, it's the Lord's day.

It's a day of celebration.

It's even during Lent.

And the reason that we relax Lenten penances on these big feasts of the Annunciation or the Feast of St.

Joseph is because they're big feasts and these are days to celebrate.

And so when the church tells us on these days, you can eat meat or you can relax your Lenten penances or whatever,

The question you have to ask yourself is, what is more in service to the point of fasting?

For me to just rigorously maintain not having cookies or whatever, as I see fit, or to submit my will to the church, Christ's church that he initiates on earth, and ultimately to submit my will to God.

Even if you don't want to eat the cookie because you don't feel as cool and based and trad, what involves the greater submission of the will?

And I would posit that having that little cookie on the feast day or whatever, or relaxing your Lenten penances on Sunday, it diminishes your own pride.

Because now you can't say that you kept up your feasts or your fasting for 45 days or whatever.

Because also, by the way, the 40 days doesn't include the Sundays.

So even just as a matter of number, it doesn't.

Anyway.

What, it's true, it diminishes your pride, but I think it involves a greater submission of the will to God, which is good.
