Preparing for Lent

I attended my first core meeting yesterday at the PICC with the other leaders of the LOJ community. One of the topics discussed was about Lent. I was able to write some important points about the topic. May the following questions and reflections also guide you in preparation for the coming Lenten season. Keep walking with Jesus! =)

What have I done for Christ?
What am I doing for Christ?
What should I do for Christ?

LENT - growth, hope, life, consolation

- an invitation to walk with Jesus

-What places in my heart need resurrection?

-We look at Jesus, the One who pursues us, as He lives, as He dies.

-We look at His friendships, choices, priorities, preoccupations & His actions.

-How does He look at people? Who are His friends?

-To be in the presence of Jesus is enough.

-We know who we are by looking at Him.

3 Things about LENT

1. Prayer -  When was the last time that you truly  listened to Him?

- lenten season allows us to listen to Him once again

2. Penance - fasting and abstinence

-sacrifice and surrender

-sharing your bread with the hungry

-getting rid of preoccupations, hatred and hurting

To fast is to feast.

-fast from words, criticism, noise, self-seeking attitude.

3. Charity - doing good works

-thinking less of yourself and more of God.
