It may not seem like that big of a deal but, if you’re Hispanic like me, you know that we go hard on this solemn day. It’s more than just your VBS kind of play. Many of our parents and grandparents grew up experiencing huge reenactments of the Biblical narratives about Christ’s final hours of life.
Here’s the thing about Lent: Your thing is your thing. What you give up and what you add on is between you and God, not you and your friends.
If, however, you take every opportunity (consciously or unconsciously) to share just how much you’re giving up or how much you’re doing, it’s not holiness you’re seeking — it’s attention.
I was barely making it through Lent, desperate for the moment I'd get back whatever I'd given up as soon as Easter Sunday morning hit, without thinking of what was going on during Lent.
Lent can be a challenging season... but the glory that comes at Easter is amazing! See if we can predict how you're probably going to celebrate!
