th
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 13 .
As we continue in the Year of Faith,
we are invited to deepen our relationship with God.
Lent is a season of grace, given to us by the Church
to draw closer to our Lord and prepare for the
celebration of his Passion and Resurrection.
Any Lenten resolution should be geared towards
helping us open our hearts to that grace.
We should ask ourselves…Is something in my life
leading me to sin regularly? Do I need to make more
time for prayer? Do I need more silence in my day?
Can I be a better witness of my faith?
Some ideas include pray more, go to Mass, read the
bible, pray for someone, be a peacemaker, be patient
with others, be kinder to those around you, see the
good in others, gossip less, spend less time watching
television or on computer, buy only what you need
not what you want, perform works of charity as a
family, or give up something you like.
