Lent

This year for Lent I am going to go to weekly Mass, and biweekly confession. I am going to at a minimum one item from my task list every night, and potentially get up half hour earlier in the morning to do one more. The task items will be from my to-do project list as well as regular chores around the house.

Fortitude

Today's homily I found very apt to how I was feeling. This morning as I was on my way to work I kept on thinking how I felt my hold on life was hanging by a fraying thread, one where I can easily see myself slipping into the darkness of despair. But the priest's homily hit home, he said "in moments where we want to give up, and think we can't hold on any longer, to pray for fortitude to hang onto the line, and just not let go, God will carry you when you feel that you alone can't make it."
