So today is the first Friday of Lent. Many Roman Catholics are observing the custom of not eating meat and substituting it with fish. Now, some of us may think that this may not be in lime with what we like to do. Why should we express this opinion to our friends who are devoting themselves to their own faith? They are great examples of what faith is: a complete devotion. We should use this season as an opportunity to celebrate each other's faith, and, as a community, learn how to respect other's customs as well! We need to support each other and not throw each other down. Help the one giving up sweets by not savoring them so much. Help the person avoiding swearing by showing the brighter side of things. Let us celebrate each other, for when we do, we celebrate ourselves.
