Girlfriends (A Podcast for Catholic Women)

Lent Without Overwhelm


Listen Later

Can you believe it’s almost Lent? This year, let’s approach Lent without feeling overwhelmed. In this week’s podcast, we discuss the importance of simplicity, small intentional sacrifices, and the power of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. I encourage you to trust God with your Lenten journey and to focus on personal growth and relationship with God during this sacred season.

Takeaways

* Lent is a time for renewal and restoration in our relationship with God.

* It's important to approach Lent without overwhelming ourselves with expectations.

* Small, intentional sacrifices can be more impactful than grand gestures.

* Fasting should be balanced and purposeful, not burdensome.

* Almsgiving goes beyond money; it includes time, attention, and kindness.

* Prayer is a crucial aspect of Lent; find ways to incorporate it into daily life.

* Recognize that Lent is not a performance; it's about personal growth and faithfulness.

* God has a unique plan for each person's Lenten experience.

* Embrace simplicity and focus on what truly matters during Lent.
