THE THREE PILLARS OF LENT
The three traditional pillars of Lenten observance are prayer, fasting and almsgiving. The key to renewed appropriation of these practices is to see their link to baptismal renewal.
What are some other types of fasting besides fasting from food?
- Fast from judging others and feast on the Christ that dwells in them.
- Fast from discouragement; feast on hope.
- Fast from anger; feast on hope.
- Fast from complaining; feast on appreciation.
- Fast from negatives; feast on affirmatives.
- Fast from idle gossip; feast on meaningful silence.
- Fast from bitterness; feast on forgiveness.
- Fast from anxiety; feast on trust in God.
- Fast from words that wound; feast on phrases that heal.
We wish you a holy Lenten season …. journeying with the Lord.
