"Repent and Believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
"Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return."
This is time of penance and repentance, a time to get closer to our ideals as Christians, to get closer to our God who will soon suffer and die for us. Let us utilize this special spiritual time of the year to show that we are truly remorseful of our sinfulness and are ready to change our lives.
May I give my own humble suggestion as to how we can go through Lent with a few practical sacrifices: attending daily Mass when possible, go to confession, one hour less Internet, save 50 cents a day and give to charity (total $20 or 20 euros,) refrain from saying that harsh angry word, get up 15 minutes earlier and listen to some soft music while meditating, visit an elderly relative you haven’t seen lately, plan to attend Holy Week services, less gossiping, less complaining, more silence around your house, more showing gratitude.
