Fasting, Prayer, Almsgiving
Appealing to the faithful to not allow this season of grace to pass in vain, Pope Francis says that if, “the Lent of the Son of God ‘was an entry into the desert of creation to make it become again that garden of communion with God” that it was before the original sin, Christians today are invited “to embody the paschal mystery more deeply and concretely in their personal, family and social lives, above all by fasting, prayer and almsgiving.”
Fasting, the Pope says, means turning away from the temptation to “devour” everything to satisfy our voracity.
Prayer teaches us to abandon idolatry and the hoarding everything for ourselves in the illusory belief that we can secure a future that does not belong to us.
If we follow this journey, he said it “is possible to rediscover the joy of God’s plan for creation and for each of us, which is to love him, our brothers and sisters, and the entire world, and to find in this love our true happiness”.
