The Lenten Environment Fasting, Almsgiving, and Prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and Catechumens should undertake these practices in a spirit of penance and preparation for Baptism or of renewal of baptism at Easter. The bare trees in the sanctuary represent the dormancy of winter and Lent. We look forward to the Resurrection of Christ and His conquering of death. We will soon see the blooming of the Easter flowers.
