It takes discipline. The purpose of this calendar is to help us live Christian disciplines. We focus on a different disciplines each week. Let's bring each one with us into each new week. After the 40 days of Lent we hope we have simplified our lives a bit more and are ready to continue those disciplines year-round.
Most disciplines require some kind of self-denial.
This calendar encourages us to take time to think and reflect. We listen to discern God's desires for our lives and the world. Suggestions for thought or action are offered for each of the 40 days of Lent. Set aside time each day to consider the day's suggestion. On several days you will be encouraged to collect money to share with those in need.
