Would you please consider joining our support team? https://kenandjanelle.com/ We continue to draw upon St Alphonsus daily lenten meditations for the quotes in this Lenten reflection.

Their rigours sometimes bring on infirmities, which disqualify them for their religious duties, and sometimes make them give up all exercises of piety. Discretion is necessary in all things." St. Francis de Sales used to say to his Religious of the Visitation, that "continual moderation is better than fits of violent abstinence interspersed with occasional excesses.”
