Prayer, Fasting & Almsgiving During Lent
Prayer
During Lent, we are asked to devote ourselves to seeking the Lord in prayer and reading Scripture, to service by giving alms, and to practice self-control through fasting. Dive into God's word in Scripture this Lent or pray the rosary with your family.
Fasting
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.
Almsgiving
The foundational call of Christians to charity is a frequent theme of the Gospels. During Lent, we are asked to focus more intently on "almsgiving," which means donating money or goods to the poor and performing other acts of charity. As one of the three pillars of Lenten practice, almsgiving is "a witness to fraternal charity" and "a work of justice pleasing to God." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2462).
What is this journey in between the event we call “birth” and the one we call “death”? Is the journey taking you somewhere, or are you leading yourself to some kind of destination – a destination that could extend beyond your last breath? What do you want from your life during the in between? The questions are there. And, the answers are too.

Ignatian Spirituality is an integral part of Pope Francis’s life. If you are interested in learning more about what guides Pope Francis’s life, consider joining us for a presentation on the Ex Factors. The Ex Factors capture the essence of Ignatian Spirituality: Spiritual Exercises, Examen, and Experience (used in Ignatian contemplation). The Ex Factors will be offered virtually via zoom on March 3, 10, and 17 from 7-8:30 p.m. Each session stands on its own, so you may attend all three sessions or just one or two. The Ex Factors are being offered by the Twin Cities Ignatian Associates whose lives are grounded in Ignatian Spirituality.
Register by February 26 by emailing Rose Doherty at rosedoherty44@gmail.com. The link for connecting to zoom will be sent to you before each session.
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.©2012 EWTN.
