Today is Meat-fare Sunday, which is the last Sunday we eat meat before Easter.
Today’s Epistle may seem like the worst way to prepare for the great fast. Instead of telling us to stop eating meat, Saint Paul says “Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do” (1 Corinthians 8:8).
Why would Saint Paul say this and why do we read this particular text today?
