- One of the simplest ways to transform your Lent is to join other Catholics for a spiritual challenge. You could create a small challenge with your friends, sign up for a local Bible study, or join nearly one million Catholics for BEST LENT EVER-a FREE Lenten video program with Matthew Kelly.
- Read the Gospels. Pick one Gospel—Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John—and read it all the way through during Lent. Just reading for 10 or 15 minutes a day is plenty of time to do that. It is in reading the Gospels that we can realize that Jesus is not just a historical figure. He is alive and with us in everything we do.
- Sit in a church. Stop by a church for a few moments each day during Lent. Sitting in a quiet, empty church is a beautiful experience. Just you and God. There is something powerful about that.
- Create a Holy Moment everyday. Send a kind note to a loved one, do a good deed for a stranger, volunteer, post something inspiring on social media. It doesn’t have to be big-just do something every day.
- Spend time in silence. No habit will change your life more than stepping into silence each day, sitting down with God, and spending a few minutes in prayer and reflection. Even just 10 minutes a day has the potential to completely transform your Lent…and your life!
