Almost Lent already?

All of a sudden, it's February and we're less than two weeks away from the beginning of the liturgical season of Lent! Can't believe that Ash Wednesday, the day where many receive ashes on their forehead, is just around the corner!

Just to add to the reality that Lent is approaching sooner than I thought, yesterday I received an email from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Office of Divine Worship on this year's Lenten Regulations provided in three languages: English, Spanish, and Polish. 

And the icing on the cake? Today someone asked me if I knew what I was "giving up" for Lent yet. Probably should start giving it some thought and prayer.
