Journey Through Lent

Lent is a time to listen to the voice of God in the quiet of our hearts. The more we pray, the more we recognize His presence in our lives.

• Set aside intentional time each day to pray—whether it’s five minutes in silence, the Rosary, or reading Scripture.
• Attend daily Mass if possible, receiving the Eucharist as the source of our strength.
• Go to Confession and allow God’s mercy to cleanse and renew your soul.
• Pray as a family, just as St. Joseph led the Holy Family in faith.

Fasting is more than giving something up—it is about creating space for God. By letting go of worldly distractions, we make room for His transforming love.

• Fast from more than food—let go of distractions, negativity, or anything that distances you from God.
• Abstain from meat on Fridays and practice self-discipline in small ways.
• Use fasting as a way to grow in gratitude, recognizing that every sacrifice draws us closer to Christ.

Almsgiving is an act of love in action—a way to bring Christ’s compassion into the world.

• Give generously—not just money, but your time, attention, and kindness.
• Look for small ways to serve—help a neighbor, reach out to someone in need, or perform acts of kindness without expecting anything in return.
• Strengthen your home and family, making it a place of love and faith.
