Get Rid Of...

• Candy

• Donate some clothes to a local charity
• Long showers
• TV shows with bad content
• Using bad words
• Being sassy towards your parents/teachers
• Social media
• Gossip
• Makeup
• Sarcasm
• Being irreverent during Mass
• Checking your phone too often
• Being mean to your siblings
• Waiting until you are done doing what you were doing before doing the chores you were told to do
• Give some of your money to church or to a charity

Add...

• An extra prayer to your morning routine
• Read the readings before going to Mass
