Good that you're giving up sweets then. Lent is all about sacrifice so you can get to heaven when you die.

But if they're not catholic, it's not a sin.

Gasp. But what will you do without DCUM?!?


Sundays only during Lent? I found out as a kids that Sunday's don't count, so you can do all the bad stuff on Sundays. For me, it was eating Ice Cream.

I don't observe Lent any more.

Thanks! I love and will try this great idea!


^^meant to add, in addition to decluttering:
Reducing alcohol and sweets
Daily core workout


You should do that all the time. I hope you keep it up after Lent and don't consider it only as a Sacrifice

- Half day fast and prayer whenever I feel hungry every Friday.
- Spending 30 minutes praying after my usual bedtime.

Giving up sweets doesn’t count for lent. Perhaps, spending time with the Blessed Sacrament once a week, a good confession, Stations of the cross, daily prayers and reflection. Walking while meditating in the gospel is a beautiful way of prepearing yourself for Easter.
