Where is Lent in the Bible? #shorts

I'm not catholic but was married to one for a long time. Your definition of lent is the best I've ever heard. I agree about the number 40.

[BethPalacios]

I didn't become Catholic until I was 40 years old... definitely battled with the devil! Praise God, adore, and thank Him daily for saving me. ❤️‍🩹

I love my Catholic faith ❤️ 💓 💗 😊❤😂
Thanks for the insight, Fr. Mike.

Moses also fasted for 40 days on Mt. Sainai when he was present with God, and when he came down he was glowing.

You also have gestation, in the womb a new human is formed in 40 weeks.

Thank you Father Mike for your faith and enthusiasm, never doubt your help that you give to us that follow.🙏

Thks father, we sure need reminders to regain spiritual strength during Lent to continue with the battle against evil, especially this end of times. May the Lord and our Lady be with you always! ❤🎉

I love our Lord Jesus Christ, and I want to do everything I can to be like him! I'm sorely lacking, though.🕊 🛐❤️✝️🕊🙏

Jesus Christ taught by example that fasting with prayer is most effective against evil. Our world is seeing evil become more rampant and trying to conquer. God said in

2 Chronicles 7:14 and if my people, over whom my name has been invoked, being converted, will have petitioned me and sought my face, and will have done penance for their wicked ways, then I will heed them from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.

JESUS CHRIST is Our LORD Ave Maria AMEN 🙏🙏🙏

A period of purification....
Where's That in the Bible?

Noah...40 days
Abraham
Moses
Elijah

The Mosaic Law...prescribed purification

Our Lord...40 days in the desert.

Fasting and Prayer Are purification

Even Adam was commanded to " fast"
From the 1 tree.

Salvation does not bestow perfection.
You still have to learn to love God wholly and even when life doesn't make sense....

Salvation is a Beginning, Not an ending in of itself.

PRAISE THE LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY.
GOOD WORK FATHER.!!!

It's called tradition for the Protestants who've never heard of it.

It is in the Bible...He made us in his image. Everything in the Bible was for us narrated and thought by our Father.
