If you’re still looking for an idea of what to do this Lent that would be pleasing to God, and beneficial to your soul, now might be a good time to honestly ask yourself that question and trusting in God see what ideas come to the surface.
If in the past you haven’t been too successful with Lenten resolutions you might want to take a new approach. If before it was you who decided what plan of action to take - this year you might want to ask God for his input.
If you decide to ask God you should begin by separating yourself from the noise and clutter of this world and sit quietly in his presence. You can do this anywhere; you don’t have to be in church or the adoration chapel. God is always with us; so find a quiet place where you can simply turn your mind to God and ask him as a friend what he would like to see you do to grow spiritually in this time before Easter?
The hard part is now to be quiet and listen. Remember any conversation is not a monologue but an exchange - we must not do all the talking but must also be good listeners. At the same time you need to place your trust in God - He will not lead you astray.
See you in the Adoration Chapel this Lent.
