Lent is Almost Here!

+
J.M.J.



That's right folks. Lent is nearly upon us. In just three short days, Ash Wednesday will arrive in all its penitential rituals. I'm not here to tell you about the specific rules of Lent, though you can find the requirements here.

I'm just going to tell you what I'm doing for Lent, and then also tell you what I've done in past years (the memorable ones).

This year I will:
  • Take part in 40 days for Life
  • Give up sweets
  • Give up Facebook
  • Give up Television/movies
When you take something out of your life, you should replace it with something good. In this case, spiritually healthy things are appropriate. To replace the things I'll be depriving myself of, I can:
  • Eat more vegetables (our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit)
  • Use my Laudate app
  • Read spiritual books. I just purchased Sacraments in Scripture and The Hidden Power of Kindness.

In past years, I've done the following things:
God bless you all, and may you have a fruitful Lent!
