Fr. Miguel said in his homily the other day that a good mortification is to eat something we dislike. He's right; I find that harder than doing without something I do like. He then mentioned that he doesn't like olives, so once in a great while he'll eat a few as a mortification. I, too, dislike olives, but I hate string beans even more, so I'm going to eat string beans every Friday in Lent, unsalted and unmargarined.
