Lent begins on Wednesday 13th February. What, if anything, do you plan to do or stop doing?
The days of Lent are given to us in order to prepare for Easter. In 2013 it is really up to each one of us to decide what we are going to do and why.
You may find that reading a bit of the Gospel helps you think about Jesus.
You may like to come into the Church (which will be open in the daytime) to pray the Stations of the Cross.
You might make the effort to go to a weekday Mass.
You might collect your spare change and put it into a red "Missio" box.
Whatever you decide to do be clear with yourself why you are doing it. No one need know what you are doing. Remember you are doing something extra for the love you have for Jesus. The daily praying of the Rosary is something Our Lady has often asked us to do. Visiting the Sick; there are no ends of things that you could choose.
