Hi 
As I’m reading the forum, it seems that some others have been having a difficult Lent too… does this seem to be a common thing? This is my first Lent as a Catholic… it seems the devil has been attacking me so much lately. It’s been really up and down. At the moment, I feel far from God again, I feel like I desperately need the Sacraments, and I wish I had more hope for my salvation. (but I’m hoping in God… and that He will allow me to receive Confession and Communion soon). I’m also discouraged from hearing all that is going on in the Church, and around the world… although this hasn’t affected my faith. In the past, I’ve definitely felt closer to God and was discerning religious life, and now I just feel so lost. I really need to find Him again. But I feel that a lot of this is a trial.
Anyone else going through a difficult time this Lent?
