Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, which means the season of Lent is upon us. As a Catholic school, this time of year is particularly meaningful to our school community. Our staff wrote this week about what they are doing for Lent this year.

This year I have decided to give up Chick-fil-A for Lent. I have a bad habit of spending money on Chick-fil-A after my Gannon class and to try and break this habit, I feel that giving it up for Lent is a great way of cutting back. I am also going to try and attend Mass two times a week as some way to do better as well in my Lenten journey. As long as I put my mind to it, I should be able to complete my goals.

This upcoming year for Lent I will be investing more time into prayer. This will allow God to come forward in my life and help me to stand on the firm foundation He has placed for me. I will be taking that step in my everyday life. This event will help bring me closer to God in this Lenten season. I will also be giving up chocolate as a sacrifice just as Jesus sacrificed himself for our sins. I eat chocolate everyday, so this will be a sacrifice.
