[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III





It is a period of spiritual reserve up for the whole year.
He who does not benefit spiritually from it, will hardly benefit from the other less spiritual days. He who spends the days of Lent indifferently will find it hard to be particular about the rest of the year.
Try to benefit from this fast, its hymns, readings, rites, spirituality and the afternoon Masses.
