Lent is a season of quiet reflection, a sacred journey through forty days of renewal. With its roots in Christ’s own time of fasting and prayer in the desert, Lent serves as a time for deep self-examination, repentance, and spiritual growth.
The season is framed by prayer, fasting, and benevolence—each an invitation to grow closer to the heart of God. Through prayer, we seek guidance and communion with God. Fasting reminds us of our need for spiritual nourishment and the power of self-discipline. Benevolence calls us to serve others, reflecting the love Christ showed through His sacrifice. To get the most out of this season, we put together a few resources below that may help guide your journey.
