Lenten Observance

Dear Brothers

What did you give up for Lent?
Is this not a popular question that we are sometimes called to answer?

I gave up nothing for Lent. I have not done this for some years.
In fact, what I have been trying to do, is to: ‘take up’ something for Lent.

Although, despite that we are almost halfway through the period, it may not be too late to make that adoption for Lent. As a time for introspection, we could very well find that a ‘spiritual journey’ may be just what we need. A journey where we encounter Him amongst His poor, may be just what ‘the doctor ordered’.
