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.”
