Lenten Challenge

Are you ready for Lent?  Need a challenge to help you stay focused? I have a couple of challenges for you. I'm not going to ask you to give up or sacrafice anything. You should do that on your own. Instead, the idea will be to pray more. There are two challenges. You can choose to do either one or both.

The first challenge - read the daily scripture readings everyday, including Sunday. I will send you a message (via Remind) at either 7:30 in the morning or 8:30 at night with a link that will take you to a web page that contains the readings for that day. You read the readings and then reply to the message with a phrase from the Gospel reading. At Easter I'll have rewards for those that have been consistent. 

Second challenge - pray the rosary every day. This one is a bit harder because it will take 10-20 minutes a day to pray the rosary.  You can pray by yourself or listen to a podcast on the Ladaute app. If you're really struggling or confused or worried we can get together on a conference call (yes, using your phone to actually do voice communications) to pray together. I will also send a message (via Remind) each day to remind you. As with the other challenge, there will be rewards at Easter. Maybe a very nice rosary (or two) for those that stay dedicated to the task.

If you're interested in either one, reply to the remind message. I'll set up groups to send you the daily messages. Don't worry if you miss a day or two or three. Remember, we are humans, we will fail. The important part is starting over again. Or even starting late. It's never too late to turn God.

Ready?
