Lent is one of the five seasons of the Catholic
liturgical calendar (Advent, Christmas, Easter, and
Ordinary Time are the other four.) The exact start
of Lent changes every year, but this year it begins
on February 22. Lent ends at sundown on Holy
Thursday, April 6, 2023. Holy Thursday is the
commemoration of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ,
when he established the sacrament of Holy
Communion prior to his arrest and crucifixion. It
also commemorates His institution of the priesthood.
The holy day falls on the Thursday before Easter
and is part of Holy Week. As we get ready for
Easter (the celebration of the resurrection of
Christ!) It is 40 days of prayer, fasting, and
almsgiving where we remember the 40 days
Jesus spent in the desert fasting and being
tempted by Satan after His baptism. We use this
time to grow closer to God, limiting distractions
and repenting for our sins.
