Hello!
I have been thinking/praying for a while about what I should do this Lent. I am an RCIA sponsor this year and I really want to commit to a hard sacrifice to offer up for the person I am sponsoring, as Jesus said some of the most poweful things we can do are prayer and fasting.
I have been thinking that it almost seems more sacrificial to take on more types of prayer during Lent, as opposed to giving something up. The first one requires motivation, whereas the latter only requires self-control. I find it much harder to motivate myself to spend time in prayer, etc. as opposed to just saying no to a cup of coffee, for example. However, I already attend daily Mass and work as hard as I can to fit in prayer throughout my day. It is hard to just say ‘‘I am going to pray more this Lent’’ because it seems too vague of an idea to commit to.
If anyone could share their ideas for Lenten resolutions, and especially anything I could do to pray for my confirmandi, I would be forever grateful!
God bless!
