do an awsome examination of conscience and notice a few of your most common sins and a way to combat them. Give up something to help something (can switch it every week) …make it something you really like but something you are able to leave behind…this will help you strengthen your will to overpower the “calls” of your body. Increase something spiritual in your life: a small gospel reading every day…if you have a family, pray together a divine mercy chapel and help your family spiritually etc etc
lastly, if at all possible…go to confession and spend time in front of the blessed sacrament at least once a week…this will help build your relationship and keep your spiritual life in check!
Really use this time to do just that.
Remember the spirit of this holy season. We are simply trying to see the world around us and ourselves rightly - working on making ourselves “fertile” for growth and simply clearing the way and listening to permit God to love us!
If you can’t do your sacrifices, or extra practices with joy…don’t do them. God does not want to make you unhappy …He just wants to love you!
God bless
