Often we think about Lent as a time to “give up” something but it can also be an opportunity to “take up” a spiritual discipline. Perhaps you might consider taking up additional prayer time. One way to do this is by joining the Living Rosary group. The only requirement is that you pray a decade of the rosary at some point during the day at a time convenient for you.
You’ll be in prayer with an established group of 20 people so that communally, all of the mysteries of the rosary are prayed daily.

“So, Ash Wednesday is just around the corner…I guess it’s time to start thinking about Lent. But what is Lent, and why does it matter?”If you have thought this way, you are not alone. In Episode 1: Back to Basics, we will turn to Scripture to answer these questions and explore the Lenten disciplines of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
