Three ways to get ready for a meaningful Lent
Lent is a special time in the Church year when we take a moment to prepare for the amazing journey of Jesus’ suffering, death, and Resurrection. It is a wonderful opportunity for us to grow in our faith and become spiritually stronger while spending time with Jesus in the quiet of the desert.
Here are three ways to help make the most of your Lent:
* People who are seriously ill, such as those with diabetes or cancer, and those over a certain age are exempt from fasting. People who are exempt can compensate through prayer, almsgiving, and good deeds.
As you dive into Lent, stay open to the gentle nudges from God. He might reveal areas in your life that could use a bit of love and attention. Trust Him to guide you.
Remember, preparing for Lent does not have to be about big plans or difficult challenges. Keep it simple and achievable. Embrace this time as a beautiful journey with Jesus, reflecting on His love and sacrifice, leading up to the joy of His Resurrection on Easter.
