So I know I am not an involved Catholic but I do go to mass from time to time and I do participate in lent. Lent is a time of penance and prayer where you give up things that you can't live without from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday, the Saturday before Easter Sunday. Most people give up things that are challenging to live without (sex, sweets, etc.) while some Catholics don't eat meat on Fridays. The reason we give up tangible items is to make a sacrifice like Jesus did for us.
For me, lent is tough bc I want to sacrifice something I use daily but I don't want to make an impossible decision like the Internet ((I use it for homework)) so this year I decided to sacrifice juice and buns. The reason for juice is bc I need to drink my water which is beneficial and the reason for no buns is bc it forces me to do my hair. So what will you be sacrificing for lent????
