Let Jesus accompany you in your sacrifices, fasting and prayer life throughout all of Lent.

Sometimes we can feel alone during Lent, especially if we chose a sacrifice for the next 40 days that no one else picked. In fact, often this feeling of isolation can lead to giving up our Lenten sacrifice, embracing our former way of life instead.

A central key to remaining faithful during Lent is to let Jesus be with us every step of the way.

Dom Prosper Gueranger meditates on this idea in his Liturgical Year, using the image of Jesus in the storm at sea that is featured in the gospels.

We don't have to embark on our journey of Lent alone. Jesus is there, waiting to be invited into our lives and to experience all of our joys and sufferings of this voyage.

Gueranger continues and explains that if we grow tired during Lent, we should look towards Jesus again, especially in the Eucharist.

Above all, don't isolate yourself from Jesus during Lent, but stay close to him every step of the way.
