Let us pray with devotion, perform more acts of charity with greater love, seek God’s for-
giveness with confidence and attend mass with reverence and devotion. With wishes for a
grace-filled Lenten season.
Lent: Giving Up
Self Denial is about making a sacrifice that makes a difference, focusing on the Cross
and reminding ourselves what Christ gave up for us. Rev. Craig Gates of Jackson Missis-
sippi has a great list of suggestions. He says we should:
GIVE UP grumbling! Instead, "In everything give thanks." Constructive criticism is OK,
but "moaning, groaning, and complaining" are not Christian disciplines.
GIVE UP 10 to 15 minutes in bed! Instead, use that time in prayer, Bible study and per-
sonal devotion. A few minutes in prayer WILL keep you focused.
GIVE UP looking at other people's worst attributes. Instead concentrate on their best
points. We all have faults. It is a lot easier to have people overlook our shortcomings
when we overlook theirs first.
GIVE UP speaking unkindly. Instead, let your speech be generous and understanding. It
costs so little to say something kind and uplifting or to offer a smile. Why not check that
sharp tongue at the door?
GIVE UP your hatred of anyone or anything! Instead, learn the discipline of love. "Love
covers a multitude of sins."
GIVE UP your worries and anxieties! They're too heavy for you to carry anyway. In-
stead, trust God with them. Anxiety is spending emotional energy on something we can
do nothing about: like tomorrow! Live today and let God's grace be sufficient.
GIVE UP TV one evening a week! Instead, visit someone who's lonely or sick. There
are those who are isolated by illness or age. Why isolate yourself in front of the "tube?"
Give someone a precious gift: your time!
GIVE UP buying anything but essentials for yourself! Instead, give the money to God.
The money you would spend on the luxuries could help someone meet basic needs.
We're called to be stewards of God's riches, not consumers.
GIVE UP judging others by appearances and by the standard of the world! Instead, learn
to give up yourself to God. There is only one who has the right to judge, Jesus
Christ. (Billy D. Strayhorn, Cross Eyed.
