Lent: more almsgiving for others, more fasting for oneself, more prayer for God

Lent 2022 is beginning, in which once again the Lord invites us to travel and walk along three paths that lead us to God. Three paths that are indispensable in our life of following Jesus: more almsgiving for others, more fasting for oneself, more prayer for God.

– Let us fast from noises and distractions that prevent us from listening to the voice of our conscience and from meeting more deeply with God and with others.

– Let us give alms by giving ourselves, from within. Let us share our qualities, time, goods, life?

– Let us deal more with the Lord. Let us not fail to meet Him daily in a daily time of prayer. Weekly in the Eucharist and frequently in the Sacrament of Forgiveness.

As Pope Francis reminds us in his Lenten Message, “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for if we do not lose heart, we will reap the rewards in due time. Therefore, while we have the opportunity, let us do good to all” (Gal 6:9-10a).
