COT: My four year old exhibits many of my bad traits that I still have not figured out how to overcome. She is forcing me to deal with issues I have not tried to deal so I can teach her to overcome. Dealing with these issues cannot be accomplished over night but through incremental gains and some failures, through family, and through those you do life with.

COT
Lent isn’t a tradition in our faith, but I like the idea of consciously giving up something or starting a new good habit.

Pope Francis challenges us to think about fasting as something more powerful than we normally consider it, describing it as “learning to change our attitude towards others and all of creation, turning away from the temptation to ‘devour’ everything to satisfy
our voracity and being ready to suffer for love, which can fill the emptiness of our hearts.”
