Lenten period marks the passion and suffering of Jesus Christ to redeem mankind. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent or the Lenten season. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday. Lent is the six weeks or 40days of penitence before Easter (Excluding Sundays, adding Sundays means 46 days before Easter) During the period of Lent we humble ourselves before God in prayer Lenten period comprises of The three main practices: PRAYER, ABSTINENCE & ALMSGIVING/Charity Prayer during Lent focuses on repentance, and receiving God’s mercy, forgiveness and love. Fasting, is a form of sacrifice and mortification, you give up something you love or find pleasure in, and also food or meat, or a favourite activity and spend more time connecting with God. ALMSGIVING is a way to respond to God’s grace, generosity and love, it is encouraged to spend the money meant for the meal given up or the luxury given up, on alms and charity example, you can spend time volunteering or donate money to a cause.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. More than anything, God seeks your heart. A broken heart is a heart full of genuine regrets for sin, a heart that longs for a union with God, a heart solely trusting in God. When David wrote Psalm 51, burnt offerings were offered in atonement for sin and in total surrender to God, God desires your heart, practicing lent, giving alms, fasting and sacrifices are in vain if your heart isn't right with God. He sees and knows your deepest secrets, you can't pretend or fake anything before Him. Draw closer into His arms, surrender your heart to Him. Prayer Lord, like David, I come with a broken and contrite heart. I want a union that is founded on love and truth, I surrender my heart and life to you, take me as I am, like David, let me be the one after your heart.
