MIERA DRAUDZES PERIODISKS IZDEVUMS Nr. 2 (ISSN 1193-1825) 2020. gada marts - aprīlis 68. gada gājums Lenten practices It’s again the Lenten season of the year. We’ve experienced it many times before and many times we’ve fallen into a Lenten pitfall. Lent is a wonderful time for spiritual growth, but this growth can be hindered by common mistakes. We start out with good intentions only to fizzle out by week three or set ourselves up for failure. Let’s have a closer look at the common pitfalls along with an action plans how to address them. By knowing about them in advance, we can avoid them and have a Lent that is spiritually fruitful. Egoistic Lenten practices A common Lenten pitfall is to plan your Lenten sacrifices without taking into account how these will affect your loved ones. They truly are a means to grow spiritually. They provide us with concrete expressions of love. As we learn how to love each other amid the struggles of daily life, we learn more about God’s love for us. Action plan: Review your plans for spiritual growth and evaluate whether they are putting an undue hardship on your family. Treating Lenten Sacrifices like New Year’s Resolutions J-starting your diet on Ash Wednesday and getting back on track with your New Year’s resolution to lose weight. What’s wrong with that? Isn’t God all about second chances? Here’s your opportunity to give your resolutions another chance. The problem is that resolutions tend to be all about you whereas Lent is all about God.
