Lenten Self-Survey
Some questions to ask yourself in order to help you prepare for the upcoming Great Fast:
How will I fast? We all should be fasting during Great Lent - if you can not engage in the Fast fully; please, speak with Father about it and make a plan with him.
With whom do I need to reconcile? As God has forgiven us, He expect us to forgive. Make it a point to forgive as well as ask forgiveness from anyone you think you have upset or offended.
When will I confess? Confession should be a routine part of everyone’s spiritual life. When one fully engages in the stricter ascetic life of Great Lent, our sins become more apparent. Take advantage of this sacrament to be renewed spiritually.
How will I love and serve others? Make it a point to serve and help others more - think of someone you can “adopt” for Great Lent.
How will I pray more? Make it a point to say some extra prayers each day. Add the Lenten prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian.
How will I increase my worship of the Lord? We have a number of services happening every week. Try to attend as many as you can.
What will I read? Are you reading Holy Scripture? If not, make it a goal to read through the Gospel of our Lord (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). There are many saintly spiritual texts that can found in our bookstore and library.
How will I give more? Year round we are called to give of our “time, talents, and treasure.” Great Lent is a time to push ourselves to do even more so.
