Written by Hey everyone! It’s DancerGirl887, and it’s already the 3rd week of Lent! I am really excited to share all about this week, so here we go!
I know this article won’t be published until Monday or something, but I’m writing this on Friday. If you are Catholic, you know that in Lent, we fast from meat of Fridays. The best choice of food on Friday is fish. Have you ever been to or heard of a fish fry? Comment below!
Well, here is your exercise for this week! Pick a day first. On that day, don’t eat your favorite food. Whatever it might be, just think of Jesus in the desert. He fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, and the Devil tried to tempt him into sin. Jesus held strong and the Devil gave up.
Be like Jesus and block out the Devil! I know most of you aren’t Catholic, but when you think about it, Mass is such a tiny part of your week. It’s just one hour. Out of all the hours in your week, just one hour is reserved with God and you. Just. One. Hour. That is a phrase that I keep in my mind. Sometimes I forget, but it always comes back.
Want to know something sinful? My favorite part of Mass used to be the end. That was when they said, “Go forth, the Mass has ended.” I loved those words. Then I connected more to my religion as I grew older. My favorite part now is when I get to receive Jesus in the Eucharist. It’s a joy to come and receive him every week. It kind of reminds me of Blessed Imelda Lambertini! I hope to become holier in life, with God as my leader. Thanks for reading, and as I always say, God bless you!
