Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
I used to panic when Lent would come around worried that I wasn’t “doing” enough. Did I have enough spiritual reading to finish? Did I have enough sacrifices that I was going to make? Did I have a plan to get the whole family involved and make sure they were “doing” enough? I don’t believe that “doing” is really what Lent is all about. It has taken a few years for me to fall into the idea of Lent being a time of “being.” I have to tell myself that what Jesus desires most is for me to simply be with Him.
