Daniel Esparza on Building New Habits during Lent

"Yes, this is yet another article on Lent-– the season in which we all inevitably try to take the next step towards a radical transformation of ourselves. And whereas we have all had some pretty successful Lenten seasons, it is also true that growth is a slow, most of the time invisible, process. The good thing is that the fruits of Lent can last a lifetime, yet only if we transform Lenten challenges into habits. In fact, the season implies building positive habits that enrich our lives all year long. It might sound naïve to some, but a 'Good Habits Challenge' can be a fun and engaging way to do just that, individually or as a family."

In a recent commentary, writer/scholar Daniel Esparza reflected on how the fruits of Lent can last a lifetime if we transform Lenten challenges into habit.
