Kathy G I agree with Lynn and Bobby. Lent is precisely fast, pray and give alms. It is a time for spiritual growth to grow nearer to God and to draw back from worldly distractions that keep us from truly choosing God over worldly pursuits. We can slow down our lives and study scriptures and the writings about God and Christianity while more clearly seeing Jesus in others and helping the poor both in spirit and in their physical lives.

What an incredibly simple plan to follow daily. Taking stairs or walking recommits our need to treat our body as the temple within which the Holy Spirit dwells. Praying for the grace to appreciate where we are in THIS stage of our life reminds us of the sanctity of life. Giving up things that remind us of unhealthy or negative habits reinforces our ongoing desire to change-to become the best version of ourselves. Happy Thursday everyone! God bless!
