Lent
Lent should be a special time for all of us, of all ages. Our prayers should be more sincere and said more often; we should chose some work that would demand a real sacrifice from us and we should make it a time of charity, especially to Trocaire or some other charity. All will help to prepare for the better celebration of Holy Week and Easter.

What Jesus says about our Lenten Practices
“When you pray, go to your private room and when you have shut the door pray to your Father who is in that secret place, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.
When you give alms, your left hand must not know what your right hand is doing; your almsgiving must be secret, and your Father will reward you”.
