0 Day Lenten Fast 2018
Lent is the Holy Season of the 40 days preceding Resurrection Sunday. It is a sacrificial period to prepare for the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, through self-denial.
“And whenever you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”
Matthew 6: 16-18
