Lent. What is 'Lent'? Well, it is the time to repent from all your sins and clean your soul. The time of Lent goes on for forty days and it doesn't include Sunday's. Lent starts on Ash Wednesday, it is the day when priests put a cross on your forehead made from last year's palms. The cross is a sign of mortality and penitence. As Catholics, we sacrifice something during this time like what Jesus did for us when he stayed in the desert for forty days and forty nights without food or water. During those days, the Devil tempted him to eat but Jesus said no. As a result of fasting, He was stronger by the end. Lent is important to me because as a Catholic, I want to show Jesus that I can also sacrifice something like what He did. Christiansmostly give up something that they really enjoy, but it depends on what you want to do. My drawing shows people going to church during the time of Lent. We all go to church to pray to God and to ask for forgiveness. We should all remember to "Turn away from sin and Believe
in the Gospel."

Hey Ranielle,
ReplyDeleteGood job on your paragraph. I liked how you really got into the meaning of lent and what it means to you. I think your topic sentence could have been a little more attention grabbing. Otherwise keep up the good work.
