Creative Things to Give Up for Lent
(excerpts taken from Jennifer Miller * Feb 8, 2018 - DynamicCatholic.com)
When we make ourselves available to God, incredible things can happen.
That’s what can make Lent so powerful.
Don’t eat what you want - If you want waffles for breakfast, eat eggs. Instead of drinking orange juice, drink water.
Give something away - every day
Don’t interrupt people
Stop complaining - Look for constructive ways to talk about difficulties. Look for the good in people instead of focusing on any inconvenience experienced.
Don’t waste downtime - Waiting in line, sitting at a stoplight, in between classes/meetings, waiting to meet someone...taken that time to prayer, to breathe, to reach out to someone around you.
What To Do For Lent
Spend time in the classroom of silence - Set a time, then forget about it. Pray the Rosary, read some Scripture. It could be 10 minutes or an hour...whatever you have.
Do BEST LENT EVER - The short, daily videos from Matthew Kelly are both inspiring and practical and take about 5 minutes a day.
Read the Gospels - It is in reading the Gospels that we can realize that Jesus is not just a historical figure. He is alive with us in everything we do.
Sit in a church with Jesus - Sitting in a quiet, empty church is a beautiful experience. Just you and God...there is something powerful about that.
Do an act of love every day - Send a kind note to a love one, do a good deed for a stranger, volunteer, post something inspiring on social media.
