fem? What is Lent? Lent is the season of penance, sacrifice and of prayer. It means making preparation for Our Lord's Resurrection on Easter Sunday. We fast and sacrifice to remind ourselves of the forty days and nights which Christ spent in the desert, praying and fasting before His death on the Cross, We know it's hard to give up the little things that we want so badly but just think of the reward we'll get in Heaven. Christ wont forget the way we deprived ourselves of those Ulittle thingsntoshow our love for Him. He'll remember and He'll be grateful. But we too should be grateful for all that God has done for us. He sacrificed Himself on the Cross to redeem us. Do we ever really stoo to think how much He has 'done for us? Here are a few ways we can manifest our love: ' l. At the table, passing up something we like or taking some- thing we do not like. 2. Mass every morning lThat's a big sacrificel. 3. Giving up candy and other sweet things. h. Making the Way of the Cross every day. 5, Making a daily visit even if it is just a minute or two, it means a lot to Christ. 6. Saying aspirations whenever we are idle or have nothingxmry special to do. Yes, there are many sacrifices we can make during Lent but just remember we make them for Christ who made the greatest sacrifice of all for us. At Easter we will be api, ' J echo in our hearts a glad Alleluia if we have made this Lent one of sacrifice and penance. -I Mary Hannigan Y57! HOW I MET DR. LIVINGSTON The story starts in the United States about the time of the First World War. One day in a newspaper called WThe Harrold.H The headlines were 'Dr. Livingston Lost In Africa'. The governor calhai a certain reporter to his office and said WJohn, I have a favor to ask of you. WGo to Africa, if anyone can find Dr. Livingston, I think you can. ' As the story went on he searched for him for ten years butstHl did not give up. He went through sickness, crossed great deserts and still would not give up if it took the rest of his life. At the end of the story he finally found him safe and soundand could hardly believe he was shaking hands with the man he hadhmnted for ten years. Porseverance won! ' Gerald Spadea 93
