Accept the season
Break the chains that hold you from Christ
Cut out what is not necessary in your life
Draw close to Jesus
Embrace the Cross
Fast from being negative
Give of yourself
Help those in need
Ignite your faith
Journal what you learn this Lent
Keep your focus on Christ, not on your sacrifices
Love without expectation
Move closer to God
Nice to others
Obey the Word
Pray each day
Quiet, enter into it
Rest in the Lord
Seek God’s will
Tongue, hold it
United with all Catholics
Violet, the color of Lent
Walk with Mary on Good Friday
(e)Xamine your conscience and go to confession
Yearn for the peace which comes from God
Zap negativity with prayer
