ASH WEDNESDAY
Beside of fasting from meat during Lent, Pope Francis proposes 15 simple acts of charity.
Look at this beauty!
π 1. Say hello (always and everywhere)
π 2. Say *thank you* (even if you don't βhave toβ).
π 3. Remind others how much you *love them.*
π 4. *Greeting with joy* those people you see every day.
π 5. Listening to the other's *story*, without prejudice, *with love*.
π 6. Stopping to *help*. Being *attentive to those who need you.*
π 7. *Lifting someone's spirits*.
π 8. *Celebrating* the *qualities* or *successes* of another.
π 9. *Select* what you don't use and *give it* to someone who needs it.
π 10. *Help when needed* so that another can rest.
π 11. *Correct with love,* don't keep quiet out of fear.
π 12. *Have nice details* with those who are *close to you.*
π 13. *Clean what I use at home.*
π 14. *Help others overcome obstacles*.
π 15. *Call your parents*, if you are fortunate enough to have them.
β’ *Fast from hurtful words* and spread kind words
β’ *Fast from discontent* and fill yourself with gratitude
β’ *Fast from anger* and fill yourself with meekness and patience
β’ *Fast from pessimism* and fill yourself with hope and optimism
β’ *Fast from worries* and fill yourself with trust in God
β’ *Fast from complaining* and fill yourself with the simple things in life
β’ *Fast from pressures* and fill yourself with prayer
β’ *Fast from sadness* and bitterness and fill your heart with joy
β’ *Fast from selfishness* and fill yourself with compassion for others
β’ *Fast from unforgiveness* and fill yourself with attitudes of reconciliation
β’ *Fast from words* and fill yourself with silence and listening to others
πIf all We try this fast, the daily life will be filled with:
*PEACE,*π
*TRUST,*π
*JOY,*π
AND *LIFE*π
πGreat wisdom from Pope Francis in this Lenten proposal, that is why I share it with pleasure!!!
