Some Lenten practices

Some Lenten practices to consider. Prayer Calendar. pray for each day of Lent. It is a beautiful way to get you in a habit of prayer, and connect you with people you care about. You can even invite your friends and family to pick a day. Lenten Letters. Write a different thank you note to a different person every day of Lent. It is amazing what God can do with our lives when we slow down, and meditate on all the blessings, especially the people, in our lives that we are grateful for. Spend Sundays praying for and thanking God for the people you wrote letters/notes to during the week. Get To Mass. As simple as making an effort to get to Daily Mass as often as possible. I can say nothing more than the fact that this practice is life changing. I can certify this as a priest. Get more out of mass. Dedicate this Lent to learning more about the Mass. There are plenty of internet resources. Spiritual Reading. Read something that will get you closer to God this Lent. Almsgiving, put your sacrifices for the needy, the church the missions (Or every time you break your fast, make a double-donation). At the end of Lent, donate the money to a good cause. Well these are  few options, but that doesn't mean you have to pick one of those. Find something that is important to you and that you really can see assisting you in your journey to God. Pray about it. Seek spiritual direction. Find people to keep you accountable. Be joyful doing it. Have a great Lent.
