Lent
#FastOnFeastOn
Lenten penance is a commitment, sustained by grace, to overcoming our lack of faith and our resistance to following Jesus on the way of the cross.
Pope Francis
-from 2023 Lenten Message
Many know of abstaining from meat on Fridays during Lent, but we are also called to practice self-discipline and fast in other ways during this season.
Throughout lent we invite you to fast on anything that keeps you from coming closer to Jesus and to feast on the virtues that draw you to his longing heart.
