What is Lent?
Lent to the count down to Easter
It is 40 days long
We remember Jesus sacrifice
Three things we are to do during Lent
Prayer-we should say prayers daily, they can be simple, thanking God for blessings, or praying for others.
Fasting/Giving something up–try to limit time with game or screen time, giving up a snack
Almsgiving/Acts of Kindness–try to things to be nice to others or help serve someone else
In today’s reading—-Matthew 4:1-11
The Gospel today tells us about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness.
Jesus is tempted by Satan, he asks Jesus to turn the stones into bread.
Jesus fasted for 40 day.
Jesus does not do what Satan asked, because he remembered God’s Word and followed God’s way
Remember that God’s Word is powerful.
This reminds us that Jesus understands us with our struggles and when we need help.
