With Ash Wednesday coming up, I've been thinking about how to approach Lent this year.
Normally I give up things – usually sinful stuff, but also something I enjoy to remind myself of Our Lord's sacrifices.
However, Lent also calls for additional acts of charity, things we do for others, and so I want to participate in that as well.
In fact, I don't think I'm going to give anything up (other than what is required of all Catholics). Instead, I think I will try to do more, pray more, give more.
I'm also going to try to push hard to finish my book. That may not sound like much of a Lenten sacrifice, but it means that I'm going to limit other activities. When the weather finally breaks, I know I will want to go outside and enjoy it. Now is the prefect time to drive forward and finish the first draft.
