Lenten Journey - Day 2

Lent is a sacrificial time. Many of us choose to give up things that are difficult to surrender. So we force ourselves to lean on the Providential God who gives us strength to admit our weaknesses, shortcomings, and addictions. Lent forces us to admit that we care too much about the concerns of this world: what we eat and what we drink; how we spend our time and how we spend our energy. As we continue along this Lenten journey, may we do the work of self-examination so that our sacrifice may be truly pleasing unto God.
