So I tell them that growing up, as a kid in a Catholic family in New Orleans, during Lent I was always taught that the most meaningful thing one could do was to give something up, sacrifice something you typically indulge in to prove to God you understand his sanctity.
Assim, conto-lhes que ao crescer, numa família católica de Nova Orleães, durante a Quaresma, sempre ouvi que a melhor coisa que podíamos fazer era privarmo-nos de qualquer coisa, sacrificar qualquer coisa  de que realmente gostássemos, para provar a Deus  que entendíamos a sua santidade.
