Blog: How are you observing this Lenten season?

Diocesan News & Publications

"I invite you therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self denial; and by reading and meditating on God's holy Word..."

Create in me a clean heart, O God, *
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence *
and take not your holy Spirit from me.
Give me the joy of your saving help again *
and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit. 

(Psalm 51:11-13)

Many of us are observing this Lenten season by giving up a type of food, observing a schedule of prayer, or maybe even giving up a social media outlet that seems to consume our lives. Everyone has their own way of showing repentance and self-examination this time of the year. 

With a new season beginning and so many stories throughout the diocese, I invite everyone to visit this new blog and share how they are observing Lent. Read, laugh, and realize that you are not the only one craving that chocolate bar in the cabinet.
