How To Become Closer To God During Lent. We need to give up certain vices to make extra time to communicate with our savior. Getting to know jesus better during lent is not rocket science.
I saved this time for you. Consider how fasting allows us to avoid temptation and notice god more in our daily lives. The lenten season became more meaningful the year a pastor challenged me to not worry so much about what i was giving up but to focus on what i could add to my life that would enhance my relationship with god.
May my acts of penance bring me your forgiveness, open my heart to your love, and prepare me for the coming feast of the resurrection of jesus.
I can tell him how i feel, ask for forgiveness and give thanks for all the graces he is pouring upon me and my family. Enables you to concentrate more on the spiritual world when you consciously give up worldly pleasures. Consider the nature of lent during a pandemic. The purpose for engaging in lenten disciplines is that we would become more finely attuned to our longing for god so we can seek him with all our hearts.
