We are united to Christians suffering martyrdom and persecution. We are united to couples struggling in marriage, to priests struggling in their vocations, to religious searching for joy. \nChrist unites us. And so the sufferings of each member of the Body of Christ are our sufferings. And in Christ, we can lift up those who are suffering. This Lent, we can remember those who are suffering in our prayers. We can support them with our resources. \nBut most especially, this Lent, we can be present to those suffering in our own communities, and in our own families. To love the members of the Body of Christ is to choose to be with them\u2014to visit the sick, or the elderly, or the poor, and to be present to them. \nWe are a part of the Body of Christ, the Church, and Christ works through us. This Lent, Christ can work through us to heal those who suffer. We are called to solidarity, to support, and to love our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n7. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n\"Fasting is the change of every part of our life, because the sacrifice of the fast is not the abstinence but the distancing from sins.\"<\/p>\n\u2014 Fr.

We are not masochists as Christians, yet we know that without mortification we will not find the true happiness which is ours on Earth. Only the person who understands mortification, who can live simply and enjoys the good things of life, will understand how to accept the suffering that is part of every human life.

From the Imitation of Christ<\/em> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.magnificat.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Magnificat<\/a><\/em> today: <\/p>\n<blockquote>I will speak to my Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. If I consider myself anything more than this, behold You stand against me, and my sins bear witness to the truth which I cannot contradict. If I abase myself, however, if I humble myself to nothingness, if I shrink from all self-esteem and account myself as the dust which I am, Your grace will favor me, Your light will enshroud my heart, and all self-esteem, no matter how little, will sink in the depths of my nothingness to perish forever. \nIt is there You show me to myself \u2014 what I am, what I have been, and what I am coming to; for I am nothing and I did not know it. Left to myself, I am nothing but total weakness. But if You look upon me for an instant, I am at once made strong and filled with new joy. Great wonder it is that I, who of my own weight always sink to the depths, am so suddenly lifted up, and so graciously embraced by You. \nIt is Your love that does this, graciously upholding me, supporting me in so many necessities, guarding me from so many grave dangers, and snatching me, as I may truly say, from evils without number. Indeed, by loving myself badly I lost myself; by seeking only You and by truly loving You I have found both myself and You, and by that love I have reduced myself more profoundly to nothing. For You, O sweetest Lord, deal with me above all my merits and above all that I dare to hope or ask. \nMay You be blessed, my God, for although I am unworthy of any benefits, yet Your nobility and infinite goodness never cease to do good even for those who are ungrateful and far from You. Convert us to you, that we may be thankful, humble, and devout, for You are our salvation, our courage, and our strength.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n14. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.focus.org\/blog\/posts\/what-should-i-do-for-lent-pope-francis-ten-tips.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ten tips from the pope.<\/a><\/p>\n15. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/articles\/226957\/ashes-ashes\/nro-symposium\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">A symposium<\/a> on National Review Online some years ago.

Do you know about Fr. Robert Barron\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lentreflections.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">daily Lenten reflection by e-mail<\/a>?<\/p>\n20. From the Liturgy of the Hours on Ash Wednesday, from St. Clement:<\/p>\n<blockquote>Let us fix our attention on the blood of Christ and recognize how precious it is to God his Father, since it was shed for our salvation and brought the grace of repentance to all the world.<\/p>\nIf we review the various ages of history, we will see that in every generation the Lord has offered the opportunity of repentance to any who were willing to turn to him. When Noah preached God\u2019s message of repentance, all who listened to him were saved. Jonah told the Ninevites they were going to be destroyed, but when they repented, their prayers gained God\u2019s forgiveness for their sins, and they were saved, even though they were not of God\u2019s people.<\/p>\nUnder the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the ministers of God\u2019s grace have spoken of repentance; indeed, the Master of the whole universe himself spoke of repentance with an oath: As I live, says the Lord, I do not wish the death of the sinner but his repentance. He added this evidence of his goodness: House of Israel, repent of your wickedness. Tell the sons of my people: If their sins should reach from earth to heaven, if they are brighter than scarlet and blacker than sackcloth, you need only turn to me with your whole heart and say, \u201cFather\u201d, and I will listen to you as a holy people.<\/p>\nIn other words, God wanted all his beloved ones to have the opportunity to repent and he confirmed this desire by his own almighty will. That is why we should obey his sovereign and glorious will and prayerfully entreat his mercy and kindness. We should be suppliant before him and turn to his compassion, rejecting empty works and quarreling and jealousy which only lead to death.<\/p>\nBrothers, we should be humble in mind, putting aside all arrogance, pride and foolish anger. Rather, we should act in accordance with the Scriptures, as the Holy Spirit says: The wise man must not glory in his wisdom nor the strong man in his strength nor the rich man in his riches. Rather, let him who glories glory in the Lord by seeking him and doing what is right and just. Recall especially what the Lord Jesus said when he taught gentleness and forbearance. Be merciful, he said, so that you may have mercy shown to you. Forgive, so that you may be forgiven. As you treat others, so you will be treated. As you give, so you will receive. As you judge, so you will be judged. As you are kind to others, so you will be treated kindly. The measure of your giving will be the measure of your receiving.<\/p>\nLet these commandments and precepts strengthen us to live in humble obedience to his sacred words. As Scripture asks: Whom shall I look upon with favor except the humble, peaceful man who trembles at my words?<\/p>\nSharing then in the heritage of so many vast and glorious achievements, let us hasten toward the goal of peace, set before us from the beginning. Let us keep our eyes firmly fixed on the Father and Creator of the whole universe, and hold fast to his splendid and transcendent gifts of peace and all his blessings.<\/p>\nRESPONSORY \nIsaiah 55:7; Joel 2:13; See Ezekiel 33:11<\/p>\nLet the evil man give up his way of life, \nand the sinful man his thoughts. \nLet him turn back to the Lord, \nand the Lord will have mercy on him. \n\u2013 Our God is kind and compassionate, \nalways ready to forgive.<\/p>\nThe Lord does not wish the sinner to die, \nbut to turn back to him and live. \n\u2013 Our God is kind and compassionate, \nalways ready to forgive.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nConsider <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibreviary.org\/en\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">ibreviary.com\u2018s app <\/a>this Lent. <\/p>\nBonus: I evidently don\u2019t know what year we are in, but you can\u2019t go wrong with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.magnificat.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Magnificat<\/a><\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\nI appear to know it is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Lent?src=hash\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">#Lent<\/a> but not that it is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Lent2015?src=hash\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">#Lent2015<\/a> \u2026 <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/zSJsnhW5wl\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/zSJsnhW5wl<\/a><\/p>\n\u2014 Kathryn Jean Lopez (@kathrynlopez) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kathrynlopez\/status\/568190376181264384\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">February 18, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1.
