A LENTEN INTENTION MESSAGE 

This year Caritas is focusing on the message of Be More. This comes from a famous saying from St Oscar Romero - "Aspire not to have more, but to be more."
A message from Pope Francis. Do you want to fast this Lent?
  1. Fast from hurting words and say kind words.
  2. Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude.
  3. Fast from anger and be filled with patience.
  4. Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope.
  5. Fast from worries and trust in God.
  6. Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity.
  7. Fast from pressures and be prayerful.
  8. Fast from bitterness and fill your heart with joy.
  9. Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to other
  10. Fast from grudges and be reconciled.
  11. Fast from words and be silent so you can listen.
Let some of these ideas support your family journey this Lenten season.
