Or on the opposite end, you’re still trying to determine what to give up — and there’s only a couple of weeks left. Does this sound familiar? What happens when we can’t commit to our Lenten promises, or we just feel unenthusiastic about Lent? Unlike the Christmas and Easter seasons of celebration, Lent often has the stigma of being a gloomy period in our Church calendar. If we don’t prepare for Lent, it can seem like a depressing time, rather than a time of renewal.
