Jesus Christ died on the cross for you so that he may save you from an endless torment. He did this because he loved you. Now you must respond to this with joyful gratitude. Don’t spend the rest of your life focused on sins that have been paid for already. Don’t be hard on yourself for the mistakes that you will always make. Instead look at Jesus, the best friend you’ll ever have. And learn from him. He will show you how to live, and how to be a blessing to others. Lent is a good time to do this.

[@emmajp_9385]

Matt Blaise where are the “potential” scriptures?

[@nikhefe16]

@Matt Blaise You are missing the point! Jesus died for you and I to have life, and to have it abundantly John 10:10...not to shame, but to make us attentive to our sins so we do not continue falling. We enjoy grace by not taking advantage of it, being mindful of our sinful nature, yielding it to the Spirit, but living in the freedom Jesus offers. What this person is saying it, don't become a slave to your past, when Jesus died for you to overcome sin. Look at Jesus, not to the shame sin brings, because Jesus doesn't do that -He convicts us to change and invites us to be more like Him. Repentance is the foundation of our walk with Christ, I agree with you, but to harken more on sin, than on the sacrifice Jesus made to help us to triumph over it, takes away from the gospel (good news). No where did this person say to "take it easy", I urge you to not misunderstood things that aren't being said.

I became a born again believer in Jesus Christ. Later this year will be 19 years since I've given my heart to the Lord, putting my faith and trust in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who paid for the sins of the entire world, anyone who has lived, is living, and will live. The born again believer is NO LONGER trusting and believing in what he/ she can do, or see, but being led by, abiding by and in the Word of God, the Bible. I came from a family tradition of being Catholic. I don't think we really knew why we were Catholics, it was something my dad's grandmother believed, passed down to my dad, and us kids, there is 6 of us. I couldn't be a good enough Catholic. I didn't remember to say the rosary every day. Keeping certain days, among other things. I did not have any peace. I felt like I couldn't do enough to please God. Does anyone know how many candles have to be lit, how many rosaries you have to say, how many????? I finally found the peace I so desperately wanted and needed by learning and knowing what the Bible says about pleasing God and the true way of salvation. Lent?! I also managed to mess that up too. I couldn't keep it. But you know what?? I wasn't meant to. No one can do or keep anything without the Strength, Power, and love of God through and in Jesus Christ. Give your heart and life to the Lord Jesus Christ, allow Him to do His work in you. I have and have never looked back. Romans 10:1-13. The thorough, diligent reading of the scriptures help a child of God know His Will. People can come before the throne of grace, Jesus Christ paid the penalty of our sins so we can come before God. Jesus Christ is our Mediator before God. Jesus Christ is the only one who obeyed the Lord even unto death. Hebrews 4:16, 1 Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 8:6, 9:15, 12:24. God sent His Son Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross, He is the only Mediator by which we can come to God and ever have true peace. True peace because our sins are forgiven and we put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, to walk with and in us, those who believe in Christ and Christ alone. 💖📖

Paul warns against "asceticism," a term referring to self-denial. The general idea includes extreme practices which appear noble but are not required by God, such as a vow of silence, prolonged fasting, or lifelong celibacy. These practices are not always wrong, but they are in no way requirements to follow Christ. Gnosticism, an early heresy confronting Christians, taught that the body was evil, and so all physical desires needed to be squelched. Colossians 2:18-23

@@MrMack65 Not sure what you mean by "we might need to update" since there have been many modern English versions printed for decades now. The Good News Bible was published in 1966. I find KJ English to be a beautiful form of English to read although I don't use it as first choice for regular bible reading/study. I agree most people would prefer a modern English for many/most liturgy, bibles, and so on. KJ seems pretty awkward/harder to understand to a lot of people. Hard to beat KJ English for bible comedy/satire though. I'm looking at you right now, Monty Python.

[@martinchua9104]

Lent is the Christian season of Repentance, sort of a spring cleaning of our lives that calls us to renew our faith in Christ. Lent begins about 40 days before Easter. Why 40? 40 has symbolic value in the Bible. 40 days of Lent remind us of Jesus' fast in the wilderness and the 40 years the Israelites wandered in the desert before entering the Promised Land. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. The ashes are traditionally made from the burned palms of last year's Palms Sunday and worn by Catholics and other Christians on this day. They are a sign of Repentance, Humility, Mortality. Which is why when ashes are distributed, the minister says: "Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel". or "Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return". We don't wear ashes to proclaim our holiness but to acknowledge that we are sinners in need of repentance and renewal. Ash Wednesday is not a Holy day of Obligation or a day just for Catholics. Ash Wednesday is the day when Christians renew 3 Practices: Fasting, Praying, Giving. Why do we Fast, Pray, Give? Fast, because choosing to go without something reminds us of our dependence on God and Jesus' sacrifice for us and teaches us to live in solidarity with the less fortunate. Catholics abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent as penance and sacrifice and to remember Jesus' death on Good Friday. Many people give something up for Lent, which is also a form of fasting. Pray, to grow closer to God. We reflect on where we have fallen short of God's hope for us and ask for forgiveness. We also ask God to help others and change our hearts to help us be better agents of Christ's love in the world. Give, what God gives us isn't meant for us to keep to ourselves, but to share with others, especially the poor, following Jesus' example. Lent invites us to think about how to create a more just world, by giving our money, time or talents. Fasting, Praying and Giving, we improve our spiritual well-being by getting rid of all that is unnecessary and help us become more mindful of how God is working in our lives. Remember this Lenten road of reflection, prayer, sacrifice and repentance ultimately leads to joy! So, this Lent, make a donation to a charity close to your heart. Reflect on the readings before Mass. Give something up. Volunteer with your local soup kitchen. Attend the Stations of the Cross. Do a random act of kindness everyday. Pray for friends, family, strangers and our world and consider all the ways in which you might grow closer to God.

Anything that isn't necessary, really. Often folks will give up things like candy, sweets, chocolate, coffee, etc etc. But a few people like to do a full Lenten fast, which consists of only three meals a day with no other food unless necessary, and two of those meals are very small, and the sum of these meals is no greater than the size of the larger meal. However, it's always best to pray about this and find that which is unnecessary and possibly leading towards sin for yourself. God Bless!

[@alfredolebron1428]

That is partially correct. Some of the Easter festivities are indeed based on Pagan rituals. However, much like how our days are named after Pagan gods and how we name our children after traditional gods and mythical beings, the Christian Easter celebration can use the previously Pagan admiration for Springtime and renewal to remind us that the Resurrection of Our Lord is the greatest renewal of all.

四旬期是忏悔的基督教季节，是对我们生活的一种春天的清洁，呼唤我们重新对基督的信仰。 在复活节前大约40天开始大斋节。为什么40？ 40在圣经中具有象征意义。 40天的四旬斋让我们想起耶稣在旷野中的禁食以及以色列人在进入应许之地之前在沙漠中徘徊的40年。 四旬期从星期三开始。传统上，灰烬是由去年棕榈树周日烧毁的棕榈树制成的，并且在这一天由天主教徒和其他基督徒佩戴。它们是忏悔，谦卑，死亡的标志。这就是为什么当灰烬分配时，牧师说：“远离罪恶，忠于福音”。或者“记住，你是灰尘，灰尘，你应该回来”。我们不会用灰烬来宣扬我们的圣洁，而是要承认我们是需要悔改和更新的罪人。 星期三灰烬不是义务的圣日，也不是天主教徒的一天。灰烬星期三是基督徒更新3种做法：禁食，祈祷，给予的日子。 为什么我们快，祈祷，给？ 快，因为选择没有东西会让我们想起我们对上帝的依赖和耶稣为我们所做的牺牲，并教导我们与不幸的人一起生活。天主教徒在星期五的四旬期间放弃了肉食作为忏悔和牺牲，并记住耶稣在耶稣受难日的死亡。许多人为Lent提供了一些东西，这也是一种禁食方式。 祷告，越来越接近上帝。我们反思上帝对我们没有希望的地方，并要求宽恕。我们也求上帝帮助别人，改变我们的心，帮助我们更好地代理基督在世上的爱。 给予，上帝赐给我们的不是让我们保持自己，而是要跟随耶稣的榜样与别人，特别是穷人分享。 Lent邀请我们考虑如何通过提供我们的金钱，时间或才能来创造一个更公正的世界。禁食，祈祷和奉献，我们通过摆脱所有不必要的东西来改善我们的精神健康，并帮助我们更加注意上帝在我们的生活中如何工作。 请记住，这种反思，祈祷，牺牲和忏悔的伦滕之路最终会带来欢乐！ 所以，这个大斋节，捐赠给一个靠近你内心的慈善机构。 弥撒之前的阅读反映。 放弃一些东西。 与您当地的汤厨房志愿者。 参加十字架站。 每天做一个善意的随意行为。 为朋友，家人，陌生人和我们的世界祷告，并考虑你可以与上帝亲近的各种方式。 Google translated lol
