Lent ~ March 20

Fast

"Don't get upset with your imperfections...It leads nowhere--to get angry because you are angry, upset at being upset, depressed at being depressed, disappointed because you are disappointed...Simply surrender to the power of God's love, which is always greater than our weakness" (St. Francis de Sales).

Pray

Before you do anything else today, pray this prayer: "Lord help me to imitate Mary's deep humility, lively faith, blind obedience, unceasing prayer, constant self-denial, surpassing purity, ardent love, heroic patience, angelic kindness, and heavenly wisdom. Amen" (St. Louis de Montfort).

Give

As you do laundry today, bless the person for whom you are folding. With every crease, offer a prayer.
