Lent

Live Lent

Lent is a time of repentance, fasting and preparation for the coming of Easter. It is a time of self-examination and reflection. During the 40 days of Lent, Christians focus on their relationship with God, often choosing to give up something or to volunteer and give of themselves for others.

The 40 days represents the time Jesus spent in the wilderness, enduring the temptation and preparing to begin his ministry. Each of us is invited to use the 40 days of Lent to prepare our own hearts for the renewal of Easter.
