The Great Lent
The Great lent or the fifty day's lent is observed as a preparation for
our Lord's death on the cross and His resurrection.
The great lent is a time for prayers, fasting, repentance and reconciliation with God. It's a time to be thankful for all the blessings the Lord has showered on us.
Fasting and Prayer are an integral part of the great lent. The Lord taught us "Except by prayer and fasting, it is not possible to gain victory over Satan - St. Mathew 17:21".
During lent we take special care to protect our mind from the
temptations of the evil one. Fasting helps us grow spiritually, by
controlling emotions and desires.
Along with fasting and prayer, there should also be acts of love and compassion. We must give the poor what we have saved through fasting. God's grace spreads more in us when we share our fortunes with the less fortunate.
The change that occurs in our life is what gives meaning to the Great lent.
