Lenten Reflection

Submitted by mericiadmin on February 14, 2018 - 11:43am

The penitential season of Lent is the period of forty days (excluding Sundays) beginning on Ash Wednesday. It is a season of the Church year that observes the forty days Jesus fasted and prayed in the wilderness before He began His public ministry of preaching for repentance. For me, the beginning of each Lenten season conjures up memories of giving up lollies, going to the Stations of the Cross and eating fish and chips every Friday night. The three traditional ways to prepare for Easter are through Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. There are many ways that we can achieve this.
