Moving Foward
Lent is quickly approaching, and it is time to solidify your Lenten practices. Will you give up something you enjoy? Will you fast for a meal each week or a day each week? Maybe consider adding in a Rosary each day? Or attending daily Mass or Stations on Friday? Or read a book about a saint or other spiritual books or meditations? What about attending a conference or talk during Lent? You can choose to give up something or add in something…all for the glory of Our Lord.
