    Instead of giving anything up for lent, I provide anything FOR lent. I pay attention persons always giving up foolish matters for lent- chocolate, soda, espresso- and the one man or woman that advantages is THEM. No one else. That defeats the rationale of lent altogether. So I provide. I quit my time, and I volunteer. This 12 months I'm volunteering traditionally at a regional females's safe haven for the period of lent. I particularly suppose if each Catholic gave up or gave anything SINCERE for lent, the sector might be a miles bigger position. Abstaining from chocolate, soda, or espresso does not improvement someone however your self, and it is lovely egocentric and it's not what I'd desire to be telling God I did for the period of such an fundamental time like lent.

    Soda, I've decided I drink too much of it and wanted to stop. Lent is a time to sacrifice something and sacrificing something such a Jesus did with his life is showing God you love him.

    Happy Easter!
