Great stuff, thanks for sharing! May I print and copy the worksheet to share with an apologetics class? (will give you credit)
Feel free!

For fasting we are trying the Lenten Mercy Challenge. On Fridays in Lent you fast on bread and water for lunch and pray one decade of the Rosary and offer those actions as an act of Mercy for a special intention of your choosing. Go to LentenMercyChallenge.org for details.
Very interesting. I am not Catholic, but I do enjoy your blog immensely.
We’re also working on praying more and praying better! We’ve put together a Lenten Retreat for our prayer ministry to help us all work on our prayer lives this Lent, here: http://praymoreretreat.com/
Sam, I am giving a talk on Fasting in my parish in Kentucky. May I have your permission to share this and your other related materials with the people who come to my presentation. Thank you. Andrea
this is very helpful. thank you! 🙂 will share it also with my friends.
Excellent article!
Hi ! Thanks for the reminder …Don’t Waste …. have been wasting God’s time on me ! Out standing Catholic .. This will be my first year seriously doing Lent ..
Thanks for the article Mr. Guzman.
This would be my second Lent as a convert. The first one i mess up big time for the lack of musclular stamina, so to speak. This year i’m more confident because i know where to get my strenght. Temperance, penance and prayer have been on my schedule more and more lately.
Besides, what’s up with this Matthew Kelly’s Lent? Really THIS is the time to mortify the flesh! Do so even for those who do not. Forget chocolat, give even yourself up.
Thank you for you’re great article.
Another option to not wasting your lent! Have the best one ever! We are signed up for this at my Newman Center. It has gotten me excited for lent to start and for us to grow stronger in Christ.

Lenten season
What a wonderful reminder of simple and concrete ways for us to keep Lent. Thank you!
I find it a shame that we are not able to “pin” this article on Pinterest. Is that an option you may provide for us in the future?
Kelly, It’s added!
Nothing reminds one of Jesus’ humanity like attributing the common grammatical mistake “you’re” vs. “your” to Him.
That cracked me up.
Thank you for administering my daily dose of humility. 🙂
I think you neglected to link to the helpful worksheet you mentioned.
Oops! It’s fixed now.
Love of Eternal Wisdom is a perfect book for Lent although I had to read it twice to really understand it. Nice work Sam!
