    Give Up Your Family This Lent

    We are called to radical conversion, not some lukewarm, complacent Catholicism, but an on fire passionate existence in pursuit of life everlasting. Christ declared, "And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.” What did he mean by this text, and how often do men use their family as an excuse to avoid not fully committing to Him? We are going to go into this reality as well as offer 5 challenges and the enemies to those challenges, to help you live the best Lent ever.
