What do I give up for Lent? These young Jesuits think that’s the wrong question.

I'm not going to lie. I clicked on this video to hate but these Father's have inspired me. Please pray for me during Lent. Thanks

God has blessed you and called you to himself. I will keep you in my prayers.

I have been thinking a lot about what to do during lent to have a virtuous Lenten experience. I have asked the Holy Spirit for guidance. I can't say that I have "felt guided towards a specific thing". I will let The Three Pillars of Lent be my guide: Pray, Fasting and Almsgiving. I will increase my prayer life, focusing on morning prayer, and evening prayer and reflection. My fasting will include no fast food and no sweet treats and no eating between meals and I will offer these intentions to World Peace and an end to Abortion. And for Almsgiving, I will be generous with my Rice Bowl contribution as well as my time to help others and will include donation of personal items to a charitable organization. May we all approach this Easter with hearts overflowing for the love of God!

So helpful, thank you. I had sort of already chosen my Lenten activity, but these wonderful guys really solidified that it is the right thing to do to put me in a better place with God. Thank you so much.

Jesus and God help us in this world we should go back to faith

I like what our Papa Francisco(Pope Francis) “What you want to Fast this LENT?” Fast from hurting words n say kind words” Fast from worries n have trust in God”. Fast from words; be silent n listen”.

I love this and it resonates with what the Holy Spirit has been saying. to me Thank you. The world needs people ardent in listening to others and fasting from worries.

Great presentation by these young Jesuits. Redwood metaphor (Rob Lorenz S.J.) really helpful. Lent is a time to realize the connection of all at the root of things. During Lent we move closer to God and closer to others. Inspiring. Insightful. Aware that young people live on social media. Think about what is keeping us from being in good relationship with God, others, and the world.

I gave up chocolate. It's a comfort food. Instead of reaching for it for comfort, I'm reminded that I always could have been reaching for God. As long as we're understanding why we're doing it.
