What do we really understand by this period in tge church calender in which we have began today. Lenten period is a great period of sacrifice and sober reflection on the suffering, death snd resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ for our sins and the sins of the whole world. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lenten period. Lent is period of 40 days. We should remember that dust we are and dust we still return after our lives here on earth.
In this period of Lent we are reminded of certain sacrifices in which we are supposed to be doing for our good benefits spiritually.
Three things to continue in this great period in which we are in
- Praying: Praying is a great tool as prayers draws us closer and closer to God Almighty. We are connected to God as we communicate with him in our Lives.
- Fasting: Fasting has to do with ourselves. In fasting we tends to deprive ourselves of certain things maybe some things we even think that we cannot do without. We deviate and leave those things in which we cannot do without. It can also be deviating from bad habits in which we are involved in.
- Almsgiving: Almsgiving involves our neighbors around us. Helps in which we give to others. Helping hands we stretch towards others in need of it.

Have Mercy,oh Lord, for we have sinned 🙏. In all we come always to you the author and finisher of our Faith. We have sinned against you and only your Mercy we seek .
We hope for the Very Best in this period of great sacrifice 🙏.
