In this episode Padre and Stina talk about Lenten observances and practices that enriches their preparation for Easter.
Lent comes from spring time and is a period of training and preparation. Common practices include prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Fasting is really powerful and helps us become master of our bodies as we learn there is a hierarchy of goods. Saying no to legitimate pleasures, prepares us to say to illegitimate pleasures as well as yes to wonderful things. Almsgiving includes considering what are the things we can give up but also take up.
Canon law stipulates that only people above the age of 14 are expected to follow the practice of abstinence from meat on certain days, and those between the ages .18 and 60 are expected to fast (see Canon Law 1252).
