Try something new!

           We started off Lent on Ash Wednesday, receiving ashes on our foreheads to humble our hearts and to help remind us of where we came from. This is a season of humility and sacrifice where we prepare ourselves for the coming of Easter:  Christ's Resurrection. It is also a time to help us grow into the men and women that God has made us to be.  This season helps to remind us that we are not yet who we are meant to be and though we are all sinners God has redeem us.
            Lent gives us many opportunities to realize that we cannot just rely on ourselves.  Only through God's great grace and our trust in him can we become the person that we are meant to be. This is the season to try something new, to help us grow.  Here are some possible suggestions:  going to confession and Mass more often; reading a spiritual book and the bible; going to Adoration and spending time with our Lord talking to Him and letting Him change your life.
