4.9/5 (24763 ratings)

Description:Lent calls us to the practice of "three notable duties," which are specially emphasized by our Blessed Lord, as part of the life of the ordinary Christian: Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving. In popular language, Prayer is asking for something (though it is a great deal more); Fasting is going without something; Almsgiving is giving up something. Each plays its part in the life of surrender. Prayer is the surrender of the will; Fasting is the surrender of the inclinations; Almsgiving is the surrender of possessions. Each helps the other, and the duly-proportioned exercise of all together is the soul's ordained safeguard. Some will need to practise one more than others, but none will attain the goal without the exercise of all three. They cannot healthily be separated, but we may speak of each separately in one, or more, of its many aspects.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
