✝️What is Lent?

As Ash Wednesday approaches, the Church invites us to begin a 40-day journey of penance, prayer, and conversion.

Lent is a sacred time to:
✔️Repent of sin and seek God's mercy
✔️Fast to detach from worldly comforts
✔️Pray more fervently to deepen our faith
✔️Give alms to serve those in need

Through these 40 days of sacrifice, we unite our hearts to Christ's Passion, preparing our souls for the glory of Easter Sunday!
