During Lent we prepare with prayer, fasting and abstinence to a change in preparation for Easter, but are we changing?... Watching the daily news, my answer is NO! Something it is not working well and it is necessary to find the root of the problem before we get used to the pain of others, without doing anything.
Something to think about during the time of prayer, fasting and abstinence:
I invite you to reflect on your scale of priorities, rather than in judging others.
I know! We have to work, but produce to consume attracted more by advertising, rather than necessity, it is not a good goal.
We need to rescue family values that have been lost with the daily effort to Do and Have things, rather than BE yourself and LET BE.
I invite you to leave cell phones to one side once a week then:
Take time to listen to your children. Just listen: Make it your prayer.
Dine together and tell family stories: Make it your fast.
Listen without criticize, judge, argue: Make it your abstinenceDuring Lent, to strengthen your prayer life, try to practice singing the Liturgy of the Hours.

MORE ACTIVITIES FOR LENT:
Durante la Cuaresma nos preparamos con oración, ayuno y abstinencia a un cambio para recibir la Pascua. Pero, ¿realmente estamos cambiando?...Al ver las noticias diarias, mi respuesta sería ¡No! Algo no está funcionando bien y es necesario encontrar la raíz del problema antes que nos acostumbremos al dolor ajeno, sin hacer nada.
PARA REFLEXIONAR EN CUARESMA:
Les invito a recapacitar durante el tiempo reservado para la oración, ayuno y abstinencia en RESCATAR los valores humanos que se han perdido con el afán diario de HACER y TENER cosas en vez de SER uno mismo y DEJAR SER.
En ésta CUARESMA les invito a dejar los celulares a un lado una vez a la semana y:
Tener un tiempo para escuchar a sus hijos. Que esto sea su oración.
Cenar en familia y Contar anécdotas familiares: Que esto sea su ayuno.
Escuchar sin criticar, juzgar, polemizar: Que esto sea su abstinencia.
