- A Fresh look at Lent
- 40 ideas, activites, and devotions
Move beyond the typical "giving something up" and take a fresh look at Lent.
Marcellino D'Ambrosio offers forty ideas, activities, and devotions designed to strengthen your spiritual life and help Catholics get the most out of Lent. Each idea is accompanied by a short reflection expanding its deeper spiritual meaning and a challenge to help you incorporate that idea in practical ways. Some of the forty ways are:
- Get up earlier and spend your first fifteen minutes of the day thanking God for the gift of life and offering your day to Him
- Find a biography of a saint you like and read it during Lent
- Pray each day for the intentions and health of the Holy Father
- While driving, turn off the radio and use your time to listen to a Catholic radio program or CD
- Spend thirty minutes in Eucharistic Adoration during the day
