Borrowed from Kristi's Blog

The first full week of Lent

Time to fast, time to feast:
Lent is a time to fast from certain things - and to feast on others.

It's a season we should...
Fast from judging others, and feast on the Christ dwelling within them.
Fast from darkness; feast on the Light.
Fast from anger; feast on patience.
Fast from pessimism; feast on optimism.
Fast from worry; feast on divine order.
Fast from complaining; feast on appreciation.
Fast from fear; feast on unceasing prayer and faith.
Fast from bitterness; feast on forgiveness.
Fast from idle gossip; feast on purposeful silence.
Fast from self-concern; feast on compassion.
Fast from suspicion; feast on truth.

This is taken from the West Texas Catholic, a newspaper of the Amarillo Catholic Diocese.

Thank you for posting that. I'm not Catholic, but that gave me a lot to think about. A LOT of people could gain positively from meditating on those statements.
