Lent is upon us.
Time for some "fasts" - though I'm looking for some positive ways to improve my spiritual life rather than just giving up things.
I am giving up two specific things.
I will not make any critical, negative comments. If tempted to do so, I will keep silent.
I will not snack after dinner.
I am also going to cut back on my television viewing - especially of the political/news shows that encourage negativity on my part. I'll make better use of that time either watching more spiritually enriching shows, or doing non-television things.
I have several positive things I plan to do.
The first is just to continue my daily reading of the Bible and spiritual works. I will continue my daily Liturgy of the Hours Morning Prayers and Night Prayers, Rosary, and Divine Mercy Chaplet. I've slipped a few times since I resolved to do these things as a New Year's resolution, so this is really a renewal of that effort.
I will practice playing guitar and singing daily, and will include at least one hymn or spiritual song in each session.
Onward!
Pax et bonum
