February 20: Our irrevocable connection with Father, Son and Spirit
Lent
Giving up, doing extra, or both, Lent is not one size fits all+
Many find a combination of giving up and doing more is the right balance for Lent.
Bishop Barres’ Lenten Letter+
'In order to better welcome the Resurrected Jesus into our hearts, a solid Lenten spirituality, grounded in prayer, fasting and almsgiving for the needs of the Church and the World, is essential.'
Lent: 40 days of prayer, fasting, almsgiving to ‘jump-start’ one’s faith+
"The challenge is to move from the Lenten discipline appropriate for children to the Lenten discipline that's appropriate for adults."
A Lent to remember+
Visiting the 'station churches' in Rome added new perspective on Lent.
Ash Wednesday: Ancient tradition still thrives in modern times+
Ash Wednesday can be a little bit like New Year's Day -- a place to clearly begin something new that we know we need to do.
Challenges and hope+
It isn’t God’s will that the way be easy.. But He does want us to be in the fight, day after day.
