For Lent usually on every Friday evening the parish church has the public stations of the cross in church. And if the parish dosen’t then they may be made privately in church.
Another is to say the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary and the chapliet of the divine mercy would be a good one to pray. Many people go to daily mass and communion.

Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent and part of it. On that day we ask God at Mass to give us strength to remember our weakness and resolve to do specific penances.
To cut back on things we normally enjoy and use that time to read spiritual books or the Bible instead. To cut back on eating and drinking and give that money saved to the poor. The best of penance is to do what God asks of us in our weak points, which may be to go to bed earlier so that we rise earlier to go to Mass each morning. To set aside a few minutes to pray for those who have no one to pray for them, or for those in purgatory.
To do certain things whether we feel like it or not is denying our own will and obeying our
Father in heaven. And maybe an hour or two each day to refrain from eating or drinking anything during that time period.

Just a few ideas. You may have some better ones.
 
Whats some prayers for these Holy days? God bless
Greetings CountrySteve,

You could always use the collect prayers to pray on these days. Also praying the Liturgy of the Hours on these days are good prayers too.

God Bless.

Greetings CountrySteve,

The collect prayers are the opening prayers said in Mass right just before the Readings. It is the prayer where the priest says for the first time Let us pray. Also at the end of the collect you hear the phrase “Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.”

God Bless.
