Time To Refocus?

By Mary Jeppson

      We’re now in the third week of Lent. Is it time to refocus on what you planned to do during this time of spiritual renewal? Lent is the time for fasting, penance and almsgiving. Are you spending time in prayer and doing things that will help you become more aware of God’s presence in your life? If you got off track, just get back on!

      We all get caught up in life and sometimes forget that Jesus is waiting patiently for us. He is the friend who is always there for us and is often ignored. Take time to attend the Stations of the Cross on Wednesday and Friday evenings, attend daily Mass and pray the rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet.  Spend time in the presence of our Lord in the Adoration Chapel. He invites us to spend just one hour with him. Through prayer and meditation we can walk with Jesus through His suffering, death and resurrection. Let Jesus be our focus in the remaining weeks of Lent.
