Lent is commonly referred to as a 40-day period but there are actually 46 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter Saturday. It is a time of preparation and prayer leading to the Easter Season. The number "40" has always had special spiritual significance regarding preparation. On Mount Sinai, preparing to receive the Ten Commandments, "Moses stayed there with the Lord for 40 days and 40 nights, without eating any food or drinking any water" (Ex 34:28). Elijah walked "40 days and 40 nights" to the mountain of the Lord, Mount Horeb (another name for Sinai) (IKgs 19:8). Most importantly, Jesus fasted and prayed for "40 days and 40 nights" in the desert before He began His public ministry (Mt 4:2). Saunders, Rev. William. "History of Lent." Arlington Catholic Herald During Lent the tradition has been to focus on 3 key aspects: Prayer, Fasting – (Penance, Sacrifice), Almsgiving – (self-giving) God of infinite love, Click on the Sandpiper Logo to view the latest publication Lunch orders are on Wednesdays!
