Dana Perino: A Lenten reflection and five ways to bring serenity and joy this season
Fox News
The Lenten season is a time of prayerful reflection, renewal, and repentance. It invites us to open our hearts a little wider, understand our Lord a little deeper, and rediscover our goals and our intentions.
But the Lenten season is much more than that. The spirit of Lent isn’t defined by "sacrifice," but rather defined by "growth." It is a 40-day period to reflect on the way we’ve been living our lives; to check to make sure our values and our priorities are in line with God’s desires for us. It is a time of grace, gratitude, and spiritual growth, and a time to find your inner strength and serenity. This year, rather than giving something up, I’m for adding something in. In my upcoming book "Everything Will Be Okay: Life Lessons For Young Women (from a Former Young Woman)", I suggest several things you can do that will help improve your career track as well as bring more serenity and joy to your life. Here are five suggestions for you to consider this Lenten season:
