At the beginning of Lent At the beginning of Lent, I asked my confessor for some mortification for this time of fast. I was told not to cut down on my food but, while eating, to meditate on how the Lord Jesus, on the Cross, accepted vinegar and gall. This would be my mortification. I did not know that this would be so beneficial to my soul. The benefit is that I am meditating constantly on His sorrowful Passion and so, while I am eating, I am not preoccupied with what I am eating, but am reflecting on my Lord's death. (Diary 618) MARCH 10, 2020 "In tribulation immediately draw near to God with confidence, and you will receive strength, enlightenment, and instruction." — St. John of the Cross
