Eighth Sunday In Ordinary Time

Be Focused, Act Smartly, Get Connected!

Lent begins this week. Are you ready to make the best of it? Ihave three suggestions that may help motivate you as you getstarted.

First, GET FOCUSSED. This year BEFORE you decide whatyou are going to give up or take on, decide where you want toEND up when the journey is over! Who do you want to become,what kind of person do you want to be? If you are going to runthis 40-Day Marathon we call the Lenten Season, dont wander

aim-less-ly in the desert decide beforehand on the outcomeyou want to achieve.

Second, GET SMART. Now knowing where you want to end up(being a more giving person, a thoughtful spouse, a worthymentor, a better parent, a caring sibling, a more engagedparishioner, a consistently positive presence in the workplace,etc.), plan accordingly! Giving up music for Lent when musicrelaxes you and brings you to a peaceful place is probably notgoing to make you a better person! Similarly, giving up caffeinefor Lent and driving your co-workers insane is counterproductive!Picking up an extra cup of coffee for someone else in the office

makes a lot more sense! Remember, Lent is a time to developNEW HABITS that once established are a part of the NEW YOUlong after Lent is over.

Third, GET CONNECTED. That is, connect everything you dowith real people or circumstances that affect real people. This isvery important. If you are going to commit to pray more often,pray for specific intentions or people. If you are going to start orrenew a commitment to reading scripture, decide before youclose the bible what specific action (no matter how small or subtlelike a phone call, an email, a kind word, ) that you will take in lightof what you just read. When you fast or abstain from a meal,read an article or watch a short video on world hunger; pray forthem and look up a place locally you can donate food orvolunteer to feed. When you connect your Lenten disciplines toconcrete opportunities to make a difference, the one who willbenefit most is YOU. Mission accomplished!
