During Lent, Catholics do three things to grow closer to God: pray, fast, give alms.
These are the three pillars of Lenten spirituality. In Christ, we are all family. We are called the “Mystical Body of Christ”. How can we not take care of each other?
Catholic Relief Services has an excellent program to teach students at every grade level, about people who experience poverty in the Third World countries and how they work together with CRS to overcome their difficulties. Three different countries – Honduras, Philippines and Kenya – are highlighted in lessons, video and recipes. Through these lessons you learn about people who have overcome factors that can lead to hunger, including floods and droughts. The Rice Bowl for Lent help us “Give Drink to the Thirsty”.
