The Catholic season of Lent, a time of self-reflection, sacrifice, and penance, calls for deep contemplation leading up to Easter Sunday. It beckons individuals to delve deep into the complexities of their spiritual lives, and forge new beginnings by aligning with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
An excellent way to prepare ourselves for the Lenten season is to write a “Bill of Lent”.
A "Bill of Lent" is set of guidelines and personal exercises for fasting, giving up luxuries or behaviors, and fostering spiritual growth through prayer, almsgiving, and other spiritual practices. It may also call for daily devotions or special events, presenting a burst of opportunities for spiritual growth. The purpose of these sacrifices and exercises is to lead individuals on a transformative journey towards God, enabling one to deepen their spiritual lives during the season of Lent.
