Three Pillars of Lent

Most of us are talking about lent these days as it starts with Ash Wednesday which was February 14, 2024 and continues through the Thursday before Easter which is March 28, 2024.  Christians all over the world take this time to reflect on their spiritual life and habits.  It is a time of cleansing, repenting, and renewal!  In my opinion, it is simply and wholeheartedly refocusing your eyes on Jesus.

Three guidelines used by many are what I have seen referred to As the 3 pillars of Lent.  They are: 

Prayer

Fasting

Almsgiving

Honestly, we should do these things all the time, but it is a tradition to take these designated days at this particular time of year to honor the 40 days Jesus faced in His walk to the cross for us.  

Very simply we want to purposefully increase our prayer life, participate in fasting as desired, and give to the poor.

There are loads of ideas on the internet in regard to these 3 pillars of lent to help you succeed this lenten season with the ultimate goal of being closer to God!

Wishing you the best, most fulfilling Lenten season!

Love and Blessings! ❤️🙏🏻🦋
