Lent is like dieting
When a person goes on a diet,
They are all excited and filled with fervor in the beginning,
But after a few weeks;
Even the best intentions fall by the wayside.
Lent is like dieting.
We begin with the best of intentions, such as fasting;
But when lent is over we ended up gaining weight!
Only if what we do during Lent is for the Lord and not for us,
Will we be successful in our Lenten resolution.
If we Fast and abstain and give alms for love of God,
Then our love will see us through.
Love and only love will give us the strength and determination
To see our Lenten Resolution through,
Just as love and only love gave Jesus the strength and determination to see himself through to Calvary.
