Giving Up Ourselves for Lent

"But there is another interior way of praying without ceasing, and that is the way of desire. Whatever else you are doing, if you long for that Sabbath, you are not ceasing to pray.  If you do not want to cease praying, do not cease longing. Your unceasing desire is your unceasing voice." ~ St. Augustine

This Lent, walk close to Jesus through prayer.  Ask Him to stay with you and to walk with you.  Ask Him to speak to your heart. Ask Him to teach you how to make loving sacrifices a part of your life...for the rest of your life. Do not cease longing for Jesus and He will become your closest friend.

How about "giving up thinking about ourselves" for Lent?  Whenever we find ourselves thinking about our everyday trials, instead think of God and offer a small prayer that He come more fully into your heart.

May you have a Blessed and Holy Lenten Season,
