Prayer, Fasting and Alms Giving for Lent

Lent is a time for prayer, fasting and almsgiving.

Pray - Prayer can be the regular praying we were all taught as Catholics such as the Rosary or Divine Mercy Chaplet. It can also be to live your life as a prayer. Do everything with great joy and offer this up to Jesus and that is a prayerful way to do something.

Fast - Abstaining from food is what we think of for fasting. We can abstain from other things in life as well. Stop watching a TV show, fast from gossip and worrying!

Give Alms - Giving money is usually the one that comes to mind. That is good, but giving of yourself is also alms giving.

Think of special ways that you can pray, fast and give alms this Lent.
