Lent
• Lent is about conversion, turning our lives more completely over to Christ. This usually involves giving up sin in some form. The goal is not just to abstain from sin during Lent but to root sin out of our lives forever.
• The three traditional pillars of Lenten observance are prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
• Fasting is a daily reminder to us of the suffering of Jesus. Our small sacrifice helps us to connect with the huge sacrifice that Jesus made for us.
• Lent can be a good time to reflect on the people who mean the most to us and the relationships we hold most dear.
