During the forty days of Lent as we begin our journey to the foot
of the cross we may ask ourselves, How can I develop a closer
relationship with Christ? What will I sacrifice during Lent? What can
I do that will benefit the less fortunate? These questions are answered by
the Church which asks us to pray, fast and give alms, a tradition that finds
its roots in the Old Testament.
Our first call is to prayer. Lent is essentially an act of prayer
spread over 40 days. Prayer sustains and nurtures our relationship with Masses 8am 12noon 6pm

Fasting, a form of penance, and Jesus' second call, has been a church
consistent part of our Catholic tradition. By fasting and self-denial, by
living lives of moderation we have more energy to devote to God's
purpose and a better self-esteem that helps us to be more concerned with Remember you are dust and to dust you will
the well-being of others. Voluntary fasting from food creates in us a
greater openness to God's Spirit and deepens our compassion for those return
who are forced to go without food.
The third part of the Lenten tradition is almsgiving. We are
asked to reach out in charity. As we experience weakness and suffering
during Lent, we will be renewed in our compassion for those who are
hungry, suffering or otherwise in need. It is about more than throwing a
few extra dollars in the collection plate; it is about reaching out to others
