A Guide For a Fruitful Lent Share Years ago, I heard Catholic psychologist Ray Guarendi on his radio show, The Doctor Is In, encouraging listeners to do something substantial for Lent. His words reminded me that I had felt God nudging me to attend daily Mass. With Dr. Ray’s pep talk in my ear, I approached my husband, David, and asked him if he could help me to attend Mass during the week. He supported my efforts wholeheartedly, even though he’s not Catholic. Daily Mass attendance didn’t stop when Lent was over. I could feel it feeding my soul and giving me the courage to say yes. It changed me in many ways. I went from a faithful lump in the pew on Sunday to a woman who is joyfully active in more than one ministry in my parish. The habit of attending daily Mass continues today — I feel anchorless without it.
