Summary

What is this whole season for?

Connecting our heart and life closer to Jesus Crucified.

I know, I know, we all feel like we've been in Lent for a year already. So how reframe our thoughts on Lent to actually renew us spiritually?

I want to share with you some reflections from Fr. John Hardon, S.J. that I found to be profound, simple, and deeply effective in my own life for focusing on the Way of the Cross throughout Lent!

Challenge from Leah: Read Fr. John Hardon's Practical Recommendations for a Fruitful Lent here and choose something small and practical.

"Heart of Jesus, obedient unto death, have mercy on us."

HEY YOU! Yep. You. Are you Pam Beesly, Kelly Kapoor, or Jim Halpert? Could you possibly be Dwight?

0:00.0	Welcome to the Do Something Beautiful Podcast. I am your host, Leah Darrow, and I share with you
0:06.8	inspirational people who are truly doing something beautiful to make our world better. We are inspired
0:12.4	by Mother Teresa who said, do something beautiful for God. Do it with your life, do it every day,
0:18.2	do it in your own way, but do it. Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of the Do Something
0:28.0	Beautiful Podcast. I am your host, Leah Darrow. So happy to be with you. All right, so we are
0:34.0	currently in Lent, Lent 2021. I know the big joke is is that we've been in Lent for the past year
0:40.0	and a half. So do we really need to do anything more? I mean, isn't the pandemic enough? Yes,
0:51.2	no, might be the answer because life is hard, friends. It's definitely a new level of heart. I'm
0:57.9	not going to say that the it hasn't leveled up and in itself, but let's talk about Lent. Let's talk
1:03.6	about a fruitful Lent. Maybe it's this Lent that will actually give some hope and maybe even meaning
1:11.6	to what we have been dealing with over the past year. I was recently by my spiritual director
1:18.0	was given this article to read and he gave it to me and it was very practical and deep and short
1:28.4	and I thought, okay, you know what? I need I need to get this out. And that's what I wanted to share
1:32.4	with you is practical recommendations for a fruitful Lent. I know that that is a topic that
1:38.3	everybody's talking about how to make the most out of your Lent. What can you do? Do and

1:51.7	should be. You know, I think that oftentimes we think of Lent and we just want to make it
1:59.8	and it's natural, but maybe we want to make it easy for ourselves. I just want to do something so
2:03.6	that I can complete it so that I feel good about saying I did that all of Lent. And so we
2:10.0	we can lower the bar for ourselves because because we want to feel like we have accomplished
2:16.8	something and we did it all the way. Now, I know that part of that hopefully comes from a good
2:22.5	place of the virtue of perseverance and you want to just keep with something. You don't want to
