My personal Lenten discipline this year will focus on Christ's Lordship and my abstaining from certain things that I would normally overindulge in. I've sworn off of meat on Fridays and I say the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Lutheran Rosary on Friday.
As my pastor said during the Ash Wednesday Service, this is a good time for us to reflect on what Jesus did for us during his life on earth, how He gave us the Gospel and how he sacrificed his life for us, even to the point of suffering a Roman crucifixion. Even though I slip and fall many more times than I even know, Jesus is always there with that wondrous forgiveness He offers so freely. May we all have a blessed Lenten season.
