"I invite you therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self denial; and by reading and meditating on God's holy Word..."
Create in me a clean heart, O God, *
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence *
and take not your holy Spirit from me.
Give me the joy of your saving help again *
and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.
(Psalm 51:11-13)
Many of us are observing this Lenten season by giving up a type of food, observing a schedule of prayer, or maybe even giving up a social media outlet that seems to consume our lives. Everyone has their own way of showing repentance and self-examination this time of the year.
