There were some present at that very time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And he answered them, ‘Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.’

And he told this parable: ‘A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the vine dresser, “Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?”

And he answered him, “Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig round it and put on manure. Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.” ’

Luke 13:1-9

Don’t buy anything you don’t need during Lent.

If you can live without it you don’t need it. Give the money saved to charity.

Throw away 40 things for 40 days.

Passing on to a charity shop might be better than throwing away. Use Lent to declutter.

Give up gossip.

In other words, fast from sin!

Don’t eat after dinner

or mid-morning or whenever you tend to snack.

Give up alcohol

or fizzy drinks, or coffee, or whatever’s your tipple.

Say 3 nice things to members of your family for each day of Lent.

This can’t be that hard, surely?

Don’t eat out during Lent.

Again, donate the money saved to CAFOD or another charity of your choice.

Give up 30 minutes of TV each day during Lent

and spend the time in prayer.

Give up complaining for Lent.

Nobody likes a moaner - use Lent to kick the habit!

10. Read the Gospel from each daily Mass during Lent.
