Accompaniment for this time of fasting
During Lent, Christians are invited to abandon certain habits and give God more space in our lives. Fasting and sacrifices to the Lord are usually done at this time. Fasting is not only an offering or a sharing between God and us, but also an opportunity to refocus on what is really essential in our lives and rediscover the taste of it. Let us bear in mind that it is not always easy to strive for forty days to fast, kick a bad habit or sacrifice our leisure time to have more time to pray. Therefore, let us not hesitate to ask the Holy Spirit to help us! Furthermore, if we live this moment with a prayerful community, we can encourage each other and pray for each other.
