For Those In Need Of Motivation


For those of our readers who are struggling to give extra time to God this Lent, there are plenty of resources online that can give you the motivation you need.

Of course you can meditate on the Stations of the Cross here on Open Wide the Doors, but you can also look to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop’s site for some help on your Lenten journey. Life Teen has Lenten posts for young people up on their blog, and other sites offer viewers the opportunity to take short, online retreats.

Blessed John Paul II stressed that the Lenten Season is a time “to listen to the Word of God more devoutly.” If you don’t have access to the Sacred Scriptures, there are a number of sites that offer easy access to the Biblical text.  

The two most important things you can do to get out of a Lenten rut are (1) ask the Holy Spirit to show you how to move, and (2) frequent the Sacraments (yes, there’s a site for that!). 

Simply pray for the grace to turn your heart to the Lord during the remainder of this Lenten journey, and you will not be disappointed.
