Lent is a 40-day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that helps us prepare for the day of the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It begins with Ash Wednesday and ends with Easter Sunday.
Why does the Church command us to fast and abstain?
The Church commands us to fast and to abstain in order that we may control the desires of the flesh, raise our minds more freely to God, and make satisfaction for sin.


Leave us your prayers…
