Why do we serve others during Lent?

Our time given by God is not meant just for us. God intends for us to share our

time with others.

Fasting during Lent means eating one main meal and

two smaller meals with no snacks. Fasting laws apply to all

Catholics from ages 14 to 59 who are in good health.

The only fasting days by Church law

are Ash Wednesday

and Good Friday.

Why do we pray and take time for Retreats during

Lent?

We take time out to build a relationship with God because

we are not totally self-sufficient. We need God’s grace and love.
