Excuse the title. I’ve seen Office Space one too many times. Zoom on the picture below and you’ll get it.
My point in posting today is that Ash Wednesday is three weeks out. I’m planning out my Lent now. The Church gives us a wonderful period of three Sundays to gradually step back from worldly concerns such as food before we dive into the 40 days proper.
Might I offer some suggestions over these next few weeks that have helped me during Lent over the past few years? I’m going to anyway so I’m not sure why that’s a question. These are things I’ve either stumbled upon or that others have recommended.
First up, a video on fasting. Fasting is the heart of Lent but has been so watered down as to be almost meaningless. When I tried to take this seriously, tremendous things happened in my life. And yes, it is possible for a grown man with responsibilities in the world to go with hardly any food for six weeks.
