LENT
2020 AT
CHRIST
CHURCH
CATHEDRAL
The forty days of Lent, from Ash Wednesday through the Saturday before Palm Sunday, are a time to renew
the classic disciplines of prayer, fasting, and alms-giving. The forty days mirror the forty days Jesus' time in
the wilderness. It is a a time to refresh a right spirit within us and to prepare us for a deeper appreciation of
Jesus' passion, his death, and ultimately his resurrection at Easter.
