Who said you can’t eat meat during lent, Boudreaux will provide an example.
TRUE LENT
Each Friday night after work, Boudreaux would fire up
his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. But, all
of Boudreaux’s neighbors were Catholic…and since
it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on
Friday.
The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks
was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful
that they finally talked to their priest.
The Priest came to visit Boudreaux, and suggested that
he become a Catholic.
After several classes and much study, Boudreaux
attended Mass…and as the priest sprinkled holy water
over him, he said, "You were born a Baptist,and
raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic."
Boudreaux’s neighbors were greatly relieved, until
Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of
grilled venison filled the neighborhood. The Priest
was called immediately by the neighbors, and, as he
rushed into Boudreaux’s yard, clutching a rosary
and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in
amazement.
There stood Boudreaux, clutching a small bottle of
holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the
grilling meat and chanted: "You wuz born a
deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you is a catfish."
