Lent, What to give up
Yes, even as we were growing up we learned that Lent was a special time and
we should give up something that is important to us, especially during this time
to strengthen our faith.
On occasion, se da cuenta que the most important item in your life decides,
She... is giving you up for lent, and the next of who knows how many years.
There are a number
of smaller sacrifices than this, it is a good time in the middle of Lent, to
check out what others are doing to strengthen their weaknesses.
I am willing to share with you a list of what to give up for Lent as provided
to me by St. Joseph’s Church:
1. Give up complaining -- focus on gratitude.
2. Give up pessimism -- become an optimist.
3. Give up sin -- turn to virtue
4. Give up worry -- trust the Divine Providence.
5. Give up discouragement -- be full of hope.
6. Give up bitterness -- turn to forgiveness.
7. Give up hatred -- return good for evil.
8. Give up negativism -- be positive.
9. Give up anger -- be more patient.
10. Give up pettiness -- become mature.
11. Give up gloom -- enjoy the beauty
