Pray, Fast & Give Alms - February 18, 2024
In Lent, the question commonly asked is “so what did you give up?” Oftentimes we tend towards giving up ice cream, chocolate, or deserts all together. What many people do not realize is that the Church actually invites us to do 3 things during Lent: to pray, to fast, and to give alms. Many of us tend towards just the one: fasting.
The reason that the Church asks us to do all 3 things is because it tackles all the areas that we tend to make god’s of in our lives.
