In reply to Courtney. Hi Courtney! I am also thinking if I do a daily Mass at least once a week that will help me dedicate at least 20 minutes to God! My 2 of my 3 children are under the age of 2 - so only one goes to school- this makes going to Adoration tough. I really enjoy going, but it really is a challenge at this stage! I hope we both really make this happen and grow closer to the Lord!

I was trying to figure out what to do in order to be “better” for my husband and kids – whether that was giving up Facebook, tempering my emotions and reactions, or something else. I think I love this idea, though. By devoting 20 minutes to God, I think I can accomplish my goal of being more present to those I love. Thank you for this post!

I’m also going to attempt to add a Holy hour each week and at least one daily Mass. The Mass isn’t all that difficult to add in, as I’m already dropping my kids at school 30 minutes before Mass starts, and they attend Mass as a school every Friday.

Isn’t it funny how the first things some people think of, aren’t even tough for others. Lent is a personal spiritual journey and there are many great ideas here!

I am giving up “my heart’s desires” – but, you can read more about that on Wednesday. 😉

It’s actually similar to how you figured out what you wanted to give up – based on the pillars of Lent, but manageable and doable for a mom with a lot going on.

Praying you have a spiritually rewarding Lent this year!
