Lenten season 2016 will begin on Ash Wednesday February 10. Please take 15 minutes to pray, ask the Holy Spirit’s guidance, look over these following activities list for the
Season of Lent, and make a few practical Lenten resolutions. Be careful. If you try to do too much, you may not succeed in anything. If you need to get up early or stay up late to get the 15 minutes of quiet, do it. Turn off your phone and computer. Don’t put it off and don’t allow interruptions.
* Think of the person who has most hurt you or who most annoys you and spend several minutes each day thanking God for that person and asking God to bless him or her.
* Make it a habit to stop at least five times a day, raise your heart and mind to God, and say a short prayer such as “Jesus, I love you,” or “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of
God, have mercy on me, a sinner,” or “Lord, I offer it up for you.”
* Pray each day for the Holy Father, our bishop and all the bishops, priests, deacon, religious brothers and sisters.
* Find a chance to have your family serve the Lenten Soup Supper at the parish on a
Friday during Lent. Serve the people there with the understanding that in so doing, you are serving Jesus.
* Attend the Holy Triduum Liturgies (Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy
Saturday) to help us commemorate the Passion, Suffering, Death and
Resurrection of Our Lord.
* Go to daily Mass @ St Thomas: Wednesday, Thursday & Friday @9am.
* Attend the parish Lenten Reconciliation Service on March 18, 2015 @7pm. Bring a friend, children and invite family members.
* Make the Stations of the Cross each Friday of the Season of Lent at church @ 7pm.
If you have kids, bring them. If you have friends, invite them.
* Spend some focused time with your spouse, strengthening your marriage. Start praying together, or make praying together a more frequent occurrence.
* Invite your friends, your family members, especially those who are not practicing their faith, to any Lenten events or Mass with you.
* Attend the Lenten Presentation by Mark Shea at St. Thomas on February 12 @
7pm.
When Easter comes, don’t drop the new practice you’ve begun during the Season of Lent!
Make it a permanent feature of your Christian life!
