and in the spiritual life of a Christian. So, as Christians, we preparespiritually for these through the forty days of Lent. This means that,during Lent, we rededicate ourselves to prayer.

There are as many ways to pray as there are prayers in this world, buta few prayer methods can help us in particular to spiritually prepareourselves during Lent:1. Make your abstinence a prayer-in-action.2. Renew yourself through personal reflective prayer.3. Pray the Stations of the Cross.4. Meditate on Holy Scripture with Lectio Divine.5. Reflect deeper on your liturgical prayer.6. Join or start a prayer group.7. Pray with your children or as a family.8. Start a practice of daily prayer that will last after Lent.
