Small practices for Lent. Although I wish and desire to do so, I cannot practice big mortifications as before, because I am under the strict surveillance of the doctor. But I can practice little things: first – sleep without a pillow; keep myself a little hungry.

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 14, 2024, and lasts until Holy Thursday, March 28, 2024.
Ash Wednesday is a universal day of fasting and abstinence in the Catholic Church.
According to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the imposition of ashes on foreheads “symbolizes our dependence upon God's mercy and forgiveness.”
In preparation for these 40 days that will lead us to renew and embrace our baptismal commitment, we offer these ideas for prayer, fasting, and almsgiving during Lent. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence.
