Here's a very brief video I did last year for Loyola Press, who asked me to speak on what it might mean to be joyful during Lent, traditionally a "sad" time. Here is my suggestion. We at America join with you in prayer during this Lent, that we may all draw closer to Christ.

Last year during Lent I printed off something from a church newsletter that also promoted a positive approach. I will just quote a few lines: "Give up complaining- focus on gratitude. Give up harsh judgments- think kindly thoughts. Give up bitterness- turn to forgiveness." The lines from that newsletter I have on my desk in front of me- and I often read them, and they have helped me all year.
