Preparing for Easter

"Whoever wishes to be my follower must deny his very self, take up his cross each day, and follow in my steps." (Luke 9:23)

Each year I make the commitment to give up my favourite treat and biggest weakness...chocolate. This year I want my Lenten Journey to be more meaningful and life-changing. What are your Lenten traditions and what are your thoughts on them? As you set out on your own spiritual journey this Lent, reflect on the person you truly want to be and what you could do to help you become that person. Please post your Lenten reflections.
