Prayer, almsgiving, and fasting for the Lenten season

by The 100 Companies

The 40-day season of Lent offers a time for prayer, almsgiving and fasting. Why these three pillars?

Prayer gives the power to contemplate one’s existence, silence the noise of the physical world and acknowledge shortcomings that would lead to positive transformation.

Almsgiving goes beyond the sharing of material wealth – it also includes the sharing of a smile, time or blessing, especially to those who need these the most.

And, Fasting is voluntarily giving up not just food but also something that a person is fond of to ask for more profound blessings.
