Lent: February 17 thru April 3, 2021
What to Give Up during these days of Lent
Lent is the Christian season of spiritual discipline leading up to Easter. Throughout Lent, most Christians adopt a period of fasting, repentance, prudence, and spiritual development. The meaning of the Lenten season is to use this time for reflection on Jesus Christ, to recognize his affliction and his atonement, his life, death, burial, and resurrection. Christians who keep Lent commonly make a dedication to fast or to give up something. What will you give up this season? Can’t decide? Here is a suggested list to choose from; typically, one or two are chosen. I can pick out a few for myself already (#17, 42, and 46). If you like, let us know your choices by posting your comments below.
