What are you doing to stengthen your relationship with Christ this Lenten season? What are some ways you can be a role model and leader for other youth at your school? Every Lenten season, I try to do at least one thing to strengthen my relationship with Christ. I believe that these 40 days can be used to grow spiritually as people of God. This year, I plan to do multiple things in order to grow closer to God. Every week, I will attend adoration on Tuesdays in the chapel at church on the campus of Central Catholic School. I also will strive to say one rosary a week. These will be a prayer of intercession with the intention of someone or something in particular. I also plan to do extra
service for different groups in our area. While in school, it is very important to be a good leader by doing the right thing at school. This includes being respectful to all people, communicating with all people around you, and participating in religious activities in and out of school. However, I believe the true test of character can be found outside of the classrooms and off of the school campus. This is when being a leader becomes a greater task. I strive to embody a certain character that is admirable to others. One simple thing

to do is to invite people who do not normally go to Mass every weekend to attend. By attending religious events, like Steubenville and the March for Life, I hope that it can encourage others to do the same. I am also a member of Central Catholic’s campus ministry team, which gives me the opportunity to be able to help others and lead them to Christ through retreats and prayer. Through all of these things, I hope to lead others to Christ through my example. BC
