A Thought for Lenten Preparation
Rather than deciding what YOU will do for Lent, ask God in prayer what HE would like you to do. Your Lent will be a thousand times more productive. You have a couple of days before it starts. Ask God to show the way--He is faithful, He will show you clearly.

Helpful post Steven.

Also unrelated but something I thought you might be interested in. From "Confessions of a Wayward Catholic":
By midday Saturday I had begun and abandoned four different books from the guesthouse library. At one point I picked up St. John of the Cross’ Dark Night of the Soul and before I’d even opened it I’d said to myself, “there’s no way you’re ready for this yet,� but I flipped through it anyway until the pages opened to a chapter where he described exactly what I’d spent my time doing since the previous day (and really, since forever) — flitting from one thing to the next, unable to settle. I murmured a quick “Shut it!� at him and then headed over to the church to pray.
