Wow, what a great way to start lent. This really showed me the purpose of my sacrifice. Out goes the social media and now it is time to focus on a rosary a day and more quality time with family.

This is good, but I do wish Bruce, when you flag u p repeats of what your saying, you leave them flagged up to give time for me to put pen to paper. I’ve started a note book yesterday. What was said about giving up was very helpful.
Hi Barbara thank you for your suggestion. You can also pause or stop the video to give you more time to write things down! I pray you are blessed in this holy season.
