1. Prayer– Jesus went to the desert to pray, to be with his Father before beginning his public ministry. Take time out of your DAILY schedule to pray more, to recharge your spiritual batteries and deepen your friendship with Our Lord!
2. Fasting– what are your numbing mechanisms or unhealthy attachments? Too much social media, too little silence, alcohol or sweets, sports apps? Give up the one that is most getting in the way of your friendship with Jesus and offer it up for a good intention!
3. Almsgiving– sure, make more donations to your favorite charity, but perhaps as well, live your charity in a deeper way with the porcupine in your fishbowl, the person with whom you find it most difficult to interact. Stretch your heart this Lent and allow JESUS to love that person through you!
