Fast, Pray, Give: A Franciscan Journey Through Lent
“This year will be different” is the pledge we make to ourselves each year when Lent looms before us like a desert we must cross to get to Easter. Perhaps your using some of the resources we suggested in a previous post to guide you in your Lenten journey. Lent is a challenge, but it’s also an opportunity to enhance our prayer life, to share our blessings, to think before we eat.
Fast, Pray, Give is a series we’re doing on our Face book page to help and encourage our followers to make this their best Lent ever. We share video reflections from Fr. Don Miller, OFM, on Mondays and quotes from inspirational authors on Tuesdays. Each Wednesday, friars will tell us about their community observances. Thursdays we give you fuel for fasting, with recipes from our favorite cooks. Week’s end is all about gratitude: On Fridays, learn where needs are greatest and how you can help, and on Saturdays, adopt a suggestion for anonymous acts of kindness. The reflections of Fr. Greg Friedman, OFM, from Lent With The Saints: Daily Reflections, are posted Sunday morning's on this blog and then shared with our Face book followers.
Join us as we continue our journey to Easter and the Resurrection of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Alleluia! He Is Risen!
