Return to article: How to Observe Lent
on 2/21/2007 Let God give me the power to hold true what I have chosen to give up for these 40 days.
on 8/8/2006 I am asking God to help me give up my terrible anger against people who have wronged me.
on 3/18/2006 I gave up cookies for lent this year. Never realized how often I eat one. I feel better knowing that I can do this.
on 3/30/2006 Instead of giving something up for Lent, I pick one bad habit and worked on changing it. I have used Lent in the past to stop many self-destructive habits.
on 11/22/2005 These days with so many vegetarians and great meatless meals available in good cookbooks and in restaurants, we can observe rites of birth and spring and exercise spiritual discipline by abstaining from meat entirely during Lent and not just on Fridays.
on 11/22/2005 For Lent each year, our family keeps a small bowl filled with rice on the kitchen table. On Fridays, we prepare a simple meatless meal, like those eaten in Third World countries. Wedonate what we would have spent on dinner to food for the poor.
on 11/22/2005 Each year for Lent I give up listening to my car stereo while driving. I use the quiet time to pray the rosary, talk to God or just quietly reflect and take an accounting of my day.
