February 14 - Looking back, some of what I "gave up" for Lent was silly and had no effect on anyone, especially me. Think about a concrete, disciplined response.

• No TV at night, instead, time used to read
• No meat, instead, get creative with simple meals
• Read 2 books from the Lending Libraries
• Devote 2 hours weekly to someone elderly in the neighborhood
• Read 2 books of the New Testament - Subscribe to a Catholic magazine (in lobby)
• Offer to be an aide for Religious Ed

You have 40 days or 6 weeks to improve. Carpe diem!
