How do you plan to observe Lent?

I think I was doing it more thinking an increase in discipline would draw me closer to God.
i don't think I said I didn't need grace, I said abstaining from certain foods wasn't helping me be closer to God.[ If you don’t need the graces then you are the very person that can to the most good for the body. ]
.
I read something recently that went into the why we do the things we do not just at lent but in our spiritual/religious life. It mentioned something along the likes that it loses its meaning if we aren't doing it out of love for God and to have a deeper more meaningful relationship with God...could this be what's missing? Most often I find that when I abstain or add prayer or whatever it may be I am even happier and more joyful because I do it out of love which of course makes it more meaningful to me. Maybe you haven't found the right things that add that meaning for you.0 -
I have been doing the Liturgy of the Hours this lent. It is great that it is online.

Hi Beth - I've also recommitted myself to prayer through the Liturgy of the Hours - it's also online at divineoffice.org They have an app for the iPhone that's really good too - they have beautiful recordings of the hymns, then you can follow along as they read it.0
