What is given up for Lent?
What to Give Up for LentWhat to give up for Lent will be different for different people. I believe the idea is to give up something that is important to you. For example, if you absolutely love to eat, you could fast. It could also be something that you promise God you will do every day, like reciting the Rosary or reading a certain number of chapters in the Bible. Others may feel that adjusting their spending habits, going without for a time and giving to those who have less are worthwhile sacrifices fitting to the season. The whole point is that it be meaningful, not just something that really doesn't mean much to you. WHAT YOU LIKE! Most people give up - pop, fries, candy, sweets, chocolate, chipsTRY GIVING UP COFFEE OR AT LEAST CAFFEEINE FREE COFFEE!!
When was no meat on Friday rule changed?
Around 1965. It was never a "Rule' as we know it, it was more or less a sacrifice that was adopted by Catholics it was discontinued in the early sixties as a requirement, however, even to this day very devout Catholics still practice it. Vatican II did, however, say that Catholics should give something else up of equivalence if they do not give up meat on Fridays not in Lent. During Lent, meat should still be given up on Fridays.

What do you do for sacrifice lent?
I have heard it said that Lent is the springtime of the soul, as it is a time of spiritual renewal. Especially during this season, Catholics are called to three things: fasting, almsgiving, and prayer. Fasting refers to the usual pracice of giving up something during Lent. For example, giving up sweets or limiting computer time. We should also be increasing our prayer life during Lent by perhaps reading the Bible, saying the rosary, or going through a devotional. Finally, almsgiving does not only refer to giving money to the poor. It could mean this, but it could also mean doing something such as giving of one's time by volunteering or donating canned goods to a local food pantry. Almsgiving can be defined as an act of mercy. Therefore, one can look to the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy and try to work on one or more of those during Lent as well. There is not one specific thing you MUST do for Lent. What you do in terms of fasting, almsgiving, and prayer should bring you closer to Christ and make you a little less worldly.

What do you give up for lent?
It means that they are not reading the Bible and God's word correctly.---Changes in Catholic EmphasisBeginning in the 19th century, it became common Lenten practice for some Roman Catholics in the US to refrain from certain foods, actions, or diversions that they enjoyed, to demonstrate a willingness to sacrifice. This was in a small way analogous to the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Fasting and abstinence from meat became less common, often applied only on Fridays, as is done outside of Lent.---Secular Use of the TermOn a secular basis, the use of "giving up something for Lent" is used (often humorously) in response to questions about a change in personal behavior or diet, to avoid having to explain the actual reason.Example: "You want to play poker on Friday?" "No, I gave it up for Lent."---
