Penance, hour of adoration of Blessed sacrament and stations of the cross. Light meals Fridays. |
I’ll try to tolerate slightly more woke women when they tell me they use abortion as contraceptive w/o the regret. Put them in prayers. |
Several years ago, a friend introduced me to the plan to throw out 40 bags during Lent. Now a group of us embraces this plan every year. |
Lent for me is giving up myself to be more like Him. So the goal shouldn't be to abstain from something pleasurable, but to pick out some habits that I can use as mental reminders to remember to spend more him with God, whether it be in the form of prayer, reading the bible, donating, volunteering, listening to praise, singing hymns, etc. |
Makes me wonder how you treat such women when it's not lent. |
I like the idea of this approach. I have decided to attend church every Sunday. We totally fell off during the pandemic and have never quite recovered. So I am planning to go on Sundays and whoever else in the house wants to join me and if not that’s ok too. i |
Makes me wonder why anyone would tell you their contraception method. |
No coffee
No booze Considering no sweets |
Giving up soft drinks. |
Gave up alcohol and sugar and although I pray the rosary 4-5 days a week, I'm going to do every day during Lent. Also going to go to daily mass at least a few times a week. |
Giving up my phone in the evenings. No scrolling. |
I’ve always thought the fish thing was weird. Salmon filet from Whole Foods on Friday isn’t exactly a sacrifice. |
Hope you’ll also try hard to practice Christian values of humility and care for the poor. Also, a group made a Super Bowl ad about this, with a pro-lifer washing the feet of a woman who just had an abortion. (For non-Christians, Jesus washed others’ feet.) I hear the MaGAs hated it. |
What was missing in the commercial was what Jesus said after her forgave people their sins: GO AND SIN NO MORE. He didn't condone the sin itself. |
