Hello dolls! Today was the first Sunday of Lent (My Catholic Dolls will understand). I hope you went to church to spend time with God. It is very important. Today is also my second Sunday in the Sunday Series and I will be talking on the benefits of the Lenten Season. For those of you that don't know Lenten Season is a 40 day period of preparation for Easter. It is one of the major Liturgical seasons in the Catholic Church. It is a penitential season marked by prayer, fasting and abstinence and almsgiving. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. During this period Christians are asked to mediate and examine their lifestyles to know if the live their lives according to the laws and teachings of God through the church.
One of the benefits of Lent is; it makes you beautiful. I know you will be wondering how lent makes you beautiful. The prayer makes you beautiful. Catholics believe that the body and soul are one, and that means when you unite with God in prayer you can be beautiful. I will use Mother Theresa as an example. The physical features of Mother Theresa didn't define her. What defined her was the form given by her spirit. There is no one more attractive than someone who has turned their body into a vessel for a beautiful spirit.
Catholics know this phenomenon is not confined to Mother Teresa. If you pray and really connect with Jesus Christ you can get the same wisdom and innocence which true christians get from HIM.
