The Lenten Season
Are you giving up any glam for Lent?
You’ll see folks with ashes on their foreheads today. Mardi Gras is over and the Lenten season has begun.
Most folks that I know give up things like chocolate, donuts, Twitter… when I was in college, one of my Catholic roommates gave up boys for 40 days because she was just over it. (This seriously happened).
So this morning I got to thinking “I wonder if any of the glam faithful give up their favorite music during Lent?”
I couldn’t do it. I can’t imagine not being able to listen to whatever I want, whenever I want. The thought makes me shudder.
Thoughts?
The Lenten journey begins today, Ash Wednesday. I invite each of you to live this time in an authentic spirit of penance and conversion, like a return to the Father, who awaits us all with open arms.
