Como joven que creció en la fe católica, la confesión era algo que normalmente me aterraba. Durante la secundaria y la universidad, solía posponerla durante meses. Como adolescente, y sin duda a través de mi ministerio sacerdotal, he llegado a reconocer la confesión como un gran regalo.

As Catholics, the spiritual pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving guide people in daily reflection during the 40 days of Lent. Lent is an opportunity for people to reflect on their lives as they strive to deepen their relationship with God and neighbor — no matter where in the world that neighbor may live. Lent is a time of personal and spiritual growth, a time to look outward and inward. One simple way to enhance the Lenten practice is to participate in the CRS Rice Bowl program. During Lent, Catholics and families across the United States use a Rice Bowl — a small cardboard box—to pray, fast and collect alms in support of their people living in poverty around the world. Each Rice Bowl comes with a calendar that guides families through the 40 days of Lent with activities and reflections connected to our global family. Go to crsricebowl.org for information, prayers, stories and activities to enhance the Lenten practice. To order Rice Bowls: crsricebowl.org/resources/order-crs-rice-bowl-materials or 1 (800) 222-0025. Materials are available in English and Spanish.
