One becomes a Roman Catholic through the sacrament of baptism. All baptized Catholics are expected to live their faith in whatever culture and country they find themselves in. This is manifested in the celebration of the sacraments, especially the Sunday Eucharist, in the development of a life of prayer with God and in service to others, especially the poor. Catholics also practice fasting like all other major religions. This particular fast is called Lent and takes place 40 days before Easter Sunday. This act of worship is a way to bring bodies under the control of the soul and also as a way to repent of wrongdoings. Most followers usually give up a particular wish for the duration of the 40 days. Beyond that, followers are expected to abstain from eating meat and limit their daily intake to just one meal. But under the lenient rules people can still eat more than one meal a day, but the meat still has to be removed
