I'm not the best with plants. Often, I get busy and forget simple things like water or a bit of fertilizer. The result is predictable. Apply that lesson to your own spiritual life. Our soul and relationship with Jesus Christ requires regular TLC. During these cold, dark and interminable long days before Lent, feed yourself.

• Pick up a free copy of the Word Among Us booklet.
• Pull something out of the Lending Libraries.
• Watch a short video on FORMED.
• Deliver a meal or baked good to someone who is alone on your street.

The institutions that normally feed us are shrinking. Start taking care of yourself.
