On this Morning Air podcast episode, John Morales chats with Catholic writer and speaker Laura DeMaria for that good ol’ mid-Lent check-in. How’s this liturgical season going for you so far?

Laura’s Sacrifices This Lent:

📵Giving Up News & Social Media: Cutting out the noise to make more room for God. And guess what? It’s so refreshing she’s planning to stick with it even after Lent!

🍫 Bye-Bye Sweets: The classic Lenten sacrifice. Not easy!

Key Takeaways From Laura:

-It’s Not About Doing Everything: Laura reminds us that Lent is about the heart, not a laundry list of challenges. Everyone’s at a different point spiritually, and that’s okay.

-Feeling Like You’re Failing? This isn’t New Year’s Resolution 2.0. It’s about transformation, not perfection.

-Start Anytime! Even if you’re just getting serious about Lent now, you can still do this for God! He can do amazing things with whatever you bring to Him, just like the loaves and fishes. 🐟🥖

-Don’t Forget Almsgiving: Parting with your hard-earned money is not the easiest thing to do, but it’s an important sacrifice. Plus, it’s a great way to grow in humility.

-Finish Strong with Confession: Confession is like hitting the reset button on your soul. Go in, pour your heart out, leave the baggage behind, and step into Easter renewed.

Laura’s bottom line is to just keep moving forward. God’s not grading you on your performance… He just wants your heart. 💖
