LENT

Do you know what lent is?

Lent is a time for us Catholics to clean out all of our sins and to make our soul pure. To do that we should fast, we should give alms, and we should pray. Surely we Catholics pray all the time, but lent is the main time to pray to Jesus for saving us from our sins. Fasting is when we give up something we very much like for 6 weeks or 40 days. We do it to prove that we are strong like Jesus when he was in the desert without no food or water. For lent I gave up meat and also candy because I very much like it. Alms giving is when people give, to help someone or just to give out of the kindness of our hearts.  On special occasions like Christian holidays my family and I make lots of food to feed the poor.
