Lenten Prayer 2021

Lent is an annual opportunity to review the balance of our daily life and our inner life. What happens on the days beyond Sunday Mass? In what ways do Faith, Hope, Trust and Love grow in us and in what ways is it diminished.

For this Lenten Season, this is the 2^nd communique offering some resources for your consideration in developing your spiritual life. Challenge yourself this year and go beyond the usual practice of “giving up” something. It’s not what you give up it’s Who you become. Take stock of your spiritual life and to grow in it. Not sure where to start? Here are a few ideas:

1. Attend or watch a Live Stream weekday Mass one day during the week. Many parishes offer them early in the morning, at noon, or after work. Daily Masses are often more intimate and shorter in time than Sunday Mass.

2. If you don’t have a cross in your apartment or house, buy a simple one and put it in your bedroom.

3. Create your own Friday fish fry! Try this simple and delicious recipe. It’s not the healthiest thing in the world, but a fun Catholic tradition to help you abstain from eating meat on Fridays during Lent.

4. Think about a habit that has kept you from being whom God is calling you to be. Consciously give up that habit for Lent.

5. Tap into your creative side and try using coloring to pray and meditate during Lent. Buy a coloring book or download a Lent calendar coloring page here. This is great activity for a family with children to do together.     Sacred Story Planners Group
