Lent 2006: Turn Away & Follow

At yesterday's Ash Wednesday Mass we said

Turn away from sin and follow the Gospel

as we gave ashes. This was the easiest to remember since it was made more action oriented by Fr. Dom, haha. (You can remember it through body language, you "turn away" then "follow")

People like to ask, "what are you giving up for Lent?"
Today's reflection answers that [http://ewtn.com/faith/lent/F18.htm]
Give up discouragement. . . . .be full of hope.
Give up bitterness. . . . . . . . . . turn to forgiveness.
Give up hatred. . . . . . . . . . . . . return good for evil.
Give up anger. . . . . . . . . . . . . .be more patient.
Give up giving up. . . . . . . . . . . hang in there!

The wilderness will lead you
To your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice with tenderness you shall know.
