Many have offered “thoughts and prayers,” but others are finding such sentiments to be empty, reflexive ways to absolve themselves of the responsibility to act
Let us fast this Lent in ways that will free us from bondage to the self-centeredness that causes so much human misery and keeps us from serving our Savior in “the least of these.”
During Lent seek God and His will. Simplify your life. Cut back on entertainments. Don’t just give up things. Take on good things. Try to concentrate on what’s most important, God and your neighbor.
