Lent is a period of reflection and reconciliation, characterised by fasting and penance.
Lenten period marks the passion and suffering of Jesus Christ to redeem mankind. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent or the Lenten season. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday. Lent is the six weeks or 40days of penitence before Easter (Excluding Sundays, adding Sundays means 46 days before Easter)

During the period of Lent we humble ourselves before God in prayer

Lenten period comprises of The three main practices: PRAYER, ABSTINENCE & ALMSGIVING/Charity

Prayer during Lent focuses on repentance, and receiving God’s mercy, forgiveness and love.

Fasting, is a form of sacrifice and mortification, you give up something you love or find pleasure in, and also food or meat, or a favourite activity and spend more time connecting with God.

ALMSGIVING is a way to respond to God’s grace, generosity and love, it is encouraged to spend the money meant for the meal given up or the luxury given up, on alms and charity example, you can spend time volunteering or donate money to a cause.

  Galatians 5:24

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there

From the creation of man, it has been a battle of the flesh against the spirit. Adam and Eve chose eat of the tree which will open their eyes, they chose their interests over the will of God.

Jesus admonishes us to give up self, if we truly want to journey with him. Fasting and almsgiving in the period of lent and beyond, is a way to give up self for God.

When you deny yourself of food and pleasures, and feed yourself with the word of God, you admit your reliance on heaven, to meet your needs.
We are in this life first, to serve God and bring him glory. Fasting tells God that you put him first, over and above your passions and desires, His will over your pleasures, His word over your daily bread.

You can start by giving up one hour of your favourite TV show, spending 3 bucks of your coffee on charity, a day of your social media time, sacrifice something for God.

Fasting meets your needs and intentions faster when combined with prayer.

Today, we pray for the grace to Choose God, over and above our desires and will. Amen
