Nineveh 90 (Solemnity of Mary) January 1-April 1 (All Fools), 2025
For these 90 days, resolve
to let go of repetitive sin you struggle with (e.g., acts of impurity,
over-eating, alcohol, etc.) Our approach will be incremental knowing that
change; real change takes time; and confidence that HE will help us. We will
take St. Theresa approach and offer up a little at a time asking God to do the
heavy work on our soul. If you can Create or join a “Nineveh 90 Squad” of 3+
people. Maybe create a Facebook group. Also, try to join together with an
“Accountability Buddy.” This starts on January 1, 2025.
