Description: Why and how Lent should make a significant difference in our lives. As it gently teaches about the mercy of God that's given to us in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, it raises awareness that we are sinners and Lent is a time of becoming more aware of the sins we need to overcome. It includes a fun "parable" to provide food for discussion and deeper reflection. And it provides the meaning of Ash Wednesday, fasting and abstinence, prayer, and almsgiving -- and even explains why we abstain from meat.
