A Lenten Guide

Many people know what their Lenten discipline will be. They give up chocolate or alcohol or social media; they add a daily Mass to their weekly routine; they do some spiritual reading. These are wonderful practices. Other people don’t have a routine or might want to try something different. If you’re not sure what you want to do for Lent, one possibility is to let the gospel readings suggest a practice. You will want to listen very carefully for God’s message to you.
