As you may know Lent is very near and we need to prepare for this Liturgical year. Before I tell you how to prepare for Lent I would like to tell you what Lent is. Lent is an annual season of fasting and penitence in preparation for Easter, beginning of Ash Wednesday and lasting 40 days of the week. To prepare for Lent we should give up something for Lent because during Lent we remember how self-centered we can be and sacrifice something for this occasion. Also we should do more charitable giving to prepare for the fruitful celebration of the Lord’s spirit. Another way to prepare is to pray intensively by going on a retreat devoted to praying to God. We should remember these three ways to prepare for Lent as this season comes closer and may God help us do these actions.
