LENT:

MORE OR LESS?

Less noise, more quiet,

Less self, more prayer,

Less food, more fasting,

Less ignorance, more reading,

Less talking, more listening,

Less television, more family,

Less coldness, more warmth,

Less anger, more patience,

Less gossip, more reverence,

Less selfishness, more generosity,

Less blindness, more awareness,

Less envy, more complimenting,

Less jealousy, more acceptance,

Less sitting, more exercise,

Less fear, more trust,

Less hesitation, more courage,

Less me, more them, O Lord,

Less me, more You, O Lord. Amen.
