In past years, I've not posted much specifically about Lent. This year, we're gonna change that!!
Do you know what you're doing/ giving up for Lent yet? Join the Catholic Teen Life blog on this Lenten journey of service, sacrifice, and love!!
Our Lenten Theme is..... (Drum roll, please...)
WASHING FEET!
(Are you excited? Maybe? Sort of...?)
Yes, I realize that this is typically just a Holy Thursday thing. But I was reading through John 13: 1-20 this week and realized how many ways there are to dive deeper into this scripture passage, and I think Lent is the perfect time to do that.
How can we, as Catholic teenagers, wash feet? How can we allow Jesus to wash our own? What is true service? What is true conversion? How can we be joyful in all things? This is what we'll be diving into together during this Lenten season.
Want to join me on this journey? Here's the plan. It's super simple, so you can use it by itself or add it to any other program/devotional you're doing during Lent.
The Goal: Learn how to practically "wash feet" in everyday life, as well as let Jesus wash yours.
How?: Get a suggestion for serving someone through either prayer, fasting, or almsgiving each day... And then try your hardest to complete it, or something similar! (Cause that's sort of the whole point...) & Read CTL posts about conversion, service, and joyful sacrifice.
So why should you join the Catholic Teen Life blog on this journey? After all, there are SO MANY other resources out there.
Our culture (and sometimes, Church) has become selfish and neglected joyful service and sacrifice. That needs to change. It starts with us.
So many other Catholic Lenten programs are made to appeal mainly to adults. This one's different! Just like this blog, it's made for Catholic Teens, by a Catholic Teen.
It's simple. Really simple. Like, "you don't even have to decide what to give up for Lent"- simple. (But if you've already decided what you're giving up/ doing for Lent, you can still follow along and do as much as you'd like!)
If you follow the blog on Instagram, you can find the daily Lenten activity posted there each day, or refer to the guide that I'll include in a blog post on Ash Wednesday.
For now, this is all I'll reveal! But you can look forward to a great Lenten journey together, all for Christ.
Have a great week, friends!!
