The season of Lent —a 40-day period (excluding Sundays) of reflection, repentance, prayer, and spiritual renewal—mirrors Jesus' 40 days of fasting and temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). It prepares our hearts for the solemnity of Good Friday and the joy of Easter Sunday. One transformative way to observe Lent is by reading the New Testament daily to deepen one’s understanding.
