HELLO WORLD :)
AT LAST WE ARE HERE IN 2014 LENT SEASON :)
Lent it is a positive, strengthening, lovely spiritual experience, and if you want to grow in your love of God and your neighbor, then Lent is for you!
SO, WHAT CAN WE DO IN THIS LENT SEASON ???
1. FASTING & ABSTINENCE
The rule of fasting is "keep it smaller and keep it simpler. " Smaller portions of food, and simpler menus. Don't eat so much during Lent. Not because you necessarily have to lose weight, but because the practice will give you strength in your spiritual life by weakening the attractions of the sensate pleasures. Fasting makes the waistline shrink and the heart get larger, and abstinence makes the heart grow fonder.
2. PRAYING
Pray daily, making sure you indulge in all the qualities of Christian prayer - adoration, thanksgiving, petition, penitence, and invocation.
3. BIBLE READING
Do this daily!!!!!!!
4. CORPORATE WORSHIP
Corporate worship is a basic Christian duty. Our prayer book puts it succinctly, telling us that part of our bounden duty is to worship God every Sunday in his Church. Doing so brings us understanding, strengthens our faith, gives us hope, fills us with encouragement, and gives us the first-hand experience of being loved by God - and that gives us the ability to love others more fully.
5. WORKS OF MERCY
The final step is to, as the prayer says, do all such good works as ... [God]...has prepared for us to walk in.
