Today I decided to take a look at a liturgical calendar to see when Lent begins this year. I knew that Easter was early -- as early as it can ever be -- but I hadn't quite realised that Lent begins next week already.
This meant that I needed to start thinking about what I would fast from. At first nothing came to mind, as usual. (The past few years nothing has struck me until pretty much Ash Wednesday.) Well, something came a bit easier, this year, somewhat to my dismay. And it came in that resolute manner which means it was already decided almost as soon as I heard it. I am to give up webcomics for Lent. And beyond that, for that was not sufficient, being sacrifice for sacrifices sake (and with something so difficult, it would be a frustration more than anything), but to instead pray the rosary to restore my relationship with Mary and with God. And I am to pray the rosary when I feel myself itching to read webcomics and unable to focus on my studying. I can only hope and pray that I will be able to stick to this well and trust that I will grow deeply in the Lord, and the Lord, in me.
