Lent is a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that invites believers into a deeper relationship with God and a greater awareness of others. Through fasting, individuals practice self-discipline and reflect on their dependence on God, while almsgiving encourages generosity and compassion. These Lenten practices help cultivate a spirit of humility and gratitude, inspiring people to be more attentive to the needs of those around them.

The Education for Justice website offers thoughtful resources to enrich this season of reflection and prayer. Meditations like the “Justice Stations of the Cross” and prayers such as “Hope from the Ashes” provide meaningful ways to engage with Lent’s themes of renewal and hope. By using these tools, individuals can deepen their spiritual journey and embrace Lent as a time of transformation, service, and grace.
