Maybe you'll find them helpful.TLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05699746979019393620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156010004467129157.post-82567836007071466812011-03-03T21:00:07.523-06:002011-03-03T21:00:07.523-06:00Well, at least one day during the work week I am g...Well, at least one day during the work week I am going to get all my barn chores done and the dogs walked extra-early and get into town for mass. <br />Besides my daily rosary, I'm also going to say the Divine Mercy Chaplet. I have a really hard time focusing on this prayer when I say it solo, perhaps because it's so repetitive. I tend to say it too quickly and distractedly.<br /><br />I will go to Stations of the Cross, which are usually led every Friday by Fr Bernard, who is from Uganda and says them with great reverence in his wonderful accent.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600512093922807813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156010004467129157.post-48059808717266022442011-03-03T19:18:48.015-06:002011-03-03T19:18:48.015-06:00Ash Wednesday I will get to a morning mass and the...Ash Wednesday I will get to a morning mass and then off to work. There's a really fine poem by TS Eliot called "Ash Wednesday," which I try to read on that day. Extra prayer during season and watch the movie Jesus of Nazareth. Hopefully I can get to the adoration chapel more often during Lent. I'm sure reading your posts during Lent will push me harder. ;)Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156010004467129157.post-46113160531399964742011-03-03T17:21:21.608-06:002011-03-03T17:21:21.608-06:00Oooh, yes, please!

Last name, heavens yes. He told me what they were, but I forget. German things are yummy, though, so I will wait with baited breath.<br /><br />Yes I thought the same thing, that maybe if I put my Lenten intentions out in the air, that maybe I will feel more...accountable?Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847572866285311259noreply@blogger.com
