What, if anything, are you giving up for Lent?
)
February 27th, 2020
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the start of the Lenten season representing Jesus’ 40 days in the desert and a time of reflection for Christians leading up to Easter.
Older Catholics were raised to give something up for Lent, a small sacrifice of something meaningful but not overwhelming. My parents would often give up alcohol. Others give up chocolate, or swearing, or meat, or going to the movies.
I am giving up Facebook. I deleted the app from both my phone and my iPad. My son said, “that’s not much of a sacrifice”. But as an old person, I use Facebook much more than twenty-year-olds.
Did you give up anything for Lent?
