In a way, I'm excited for Lent this year. I think I have the right combination of prayer/fasting/almsgiving going on.

I'm also hoping I'm not taking too much on. Here's the breakdown: the Total Consecration (starting tomorrow); praying for 1 specific person each day of Lent; getting up earlier to pray, and reflect on the day's readings; giving up internet surfing from my smartphone; going meatless on Wednesdays and Fridays; plus evening prayer time with the kids.

I've been thinking about also fasting on Wednesdays, but I'm still mulling it over. I'm trying not to do too much, otherwise a week into Lent and I'm Ms. Cranky Pants.

And since Larry is talking about songs to get you into the penitential spirit, I offer you a classic from when the 90s (when I went to high school):
Good luck getting that out of your head for the rest of the day!
Crash Test Dummies!! Whatever happened to them? Most unique vocalist, IMHO.
ReplyDeleteHappy Lent!
Wait....you went to high school in the 90's??
ReplyDeleteCarp, I'm old...
Haha, you get a two-fer penitential blog post, listening to the CTD and feeling old! :-P
ReplyDeleteHappy Lent to you as well!
