SHARE: What are your Lenten spiritual practices?

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

The St. Louis Review wants to know what St. Louis Catholics do to make all days of Lent a time of prayer and penance, as we are called to do by the Catechism of the Catholic Church: “The seasons and days of penance in the course of the liturgical year (Lent, and each Friday in memory of the death of the Lord) are intense moments of the Church's penitential practice. These times are particularly appropriate for spiritual exercises, penitential liturgies, pilgrimages as signs of penance, voluntary self-denial such as fasting and almsgiving, and fraternal sharing (charitable and missionary works).”

If you would like to share your practices with our readers, please send us a one- or two-paragraph description of them, along with your name, municipality and phone number. Phone numbers will not be published, they will be used to verification only.
