Lent

23rd Feb 2021

Some people fast for Lent. Fasting means giving up something and it usually refers to food. However, Pope Francis advises us that we could try other kinds of fasting. He says we could try giving up other things for Lent.

  • What about giving up saying mean things and only saying kind words?
  • Maybe give up being selfish and try to be more generous?
  • Perhaps give up talking so much and listen to other people a bit more?
  • And the hardest one of all for some people – giving up fighting with brothers and sisters. That could be a tough one!

Try to think of something you could give up that would make you and the people around you happier. What fasting could you do this Lent?
