Lent

Fridays are a day of fasting and abstinence for many Christian communities. Fasting means reducing how much one eats – possible down to just one simple meal for the day and a small snack or to.  Abstinence means refraining from eating meat for the day.  Attention to what one eats can help one notice how much we tend to take for granted and help us focus on God’s presence in our life.
