Lenten Sacrifices
-
This Lent, I’m giving away as many material possessions as I can. I’ve learned that material possessions interfere in my spiritual growth. I’ve learned the more I have, the less time I have. I’ve learned that writing is harder when clutter takes over my desk. I’ve learned that it’s harder to pray the Rosary when I keep thinking about the dusting, vacuuming, etc. But despite what I’ve learned, it’s hard to let go.
-
I will not surf the ‘net on weekdays. Instead, I will wake earlier and spend time in prayer.
-
At work, I will bite my tongue and be more patient with my chronically upset students.
