Ash Wednesday- 1st day of Lent

The Rules for Lent are available for review, but many of us raised in the Catholic Church know them by heart.

Fast on the High Holy Days- get ashes today- do not eat meat today or on any Friday from now until Easter- Support the poor...

Sacrifice something, give up something, so that you remain aware that the next 40 days are special. A reminder of what Jesus sacrificed for us.

Read the bible every day if it is not something you normally do...

Give up candy, alcohol, soda, chocolate...

Do something everyday, a random act of kindness, give back...

So what are you doing to make Lent special?
