Lent 2011

That would be a great idea for me, but I want to at least be able to get past Ash Wednesday before failing!

I did not even make it home last night after I typed this, but I was provoked, drivers here seem to have a death wish when they get on the freeway

Due to the fact that I’m in my last year of high school and I will probably enter seminary next year I plan on making this lent an extremely spiritual experience. I also need to gain discipline in my life with my eating habits and prayer life. So I think it is appropriate for myself to do actual fasting the whole of lent and set a structured prayer life for myself.

Have any of you given thought to what you’re going to do or give up for Lent this year? I plan to go to my parish’s weekday evening Mass, which we have during Lent, along with Stations of the Cross weekly. In addition, I want to give something up but haven’t come up with anything yet.

I was just pondering this very question today. What to do… what to do??? I usually give up eating between meals, but this year, I have decided to do something to improve an area of my spirituality which is sorely lacking. I have decided to pray for my enemies (i.e. those who have hurt or offended me in some way and those whom I don’t particularly like). I came to realize just this morning that I don’t pray enough for those who have hurt me. I know I should, and on occasion I do, but I don’t make a habit of it.
