>>26422 (OP)
I'm struggling a lot with personal issues but still trying to do what I can for this time of the year.
>bible readings
Whenever I feel down I try to avoid sin and read passages to comfort myself
>praying to Our Lady
I used to be a very devoted prayer of the Rosary but sadly I couldn't keep the habit, so I pray with fervor when I feel it in my heart because I don't think praying while feeling "obligued" would please the Lord and Our Lady (it's more complicated than that but it has to do with faith crisis, mostly).
>fasting
I dedicate every moment of hunger to the Lord, eating once or twice a day
>no masturbation
Self-explanatory
I pray that all my brothers in Christ grow spiritually and in virtue, may all our brothers please the most high during this time of the year with their acts of penance, meditation and virtue.
Please, if you're reading this, I beg you to also pray for me, a filthy sinner going through hardships but still carrying my crosses and keeping my hopes alive, I give thanks to the holy trinity and the divine love of Our Lady for never abandoning me.
Jesus Christ be praised.
