I gave up steak. My favorite food. It’s only been like a week and I’m dying
Social media and video streaming services! It’s been hard but so beneficial already 🙌

I hadn’t thought about it. Is this like fasting?
Yep! Fasting something for 40 days
Lent is Catholic right? What is Lent based off? I forget. Think it’s supposed to emulate the 40 day period of Christ’s temptation in wilderness?
Yep exactly!
I have no idea how it works. Can you share a video or something that explains? I always thought that Lent is purely about food.
Watch Father Mike Schmitz YouTube videos on lent and fasting. Essentially you give something that you really care about or that you find yourself quite attached to up to God. It can be a food you love or an addictive habit you may have. Giving this thing up to God for 40 days has so many benefits! It acts as a sacrifice we are doing, showing God we are giving up something we may love for him. It can be a way to grow a deeper connection with God and show that we are submitting ourselves to him and depending on him. The idea is that we are prioritising God and bring ourselves closer to Him
