^ All men are born equal, but they
^ rea^ an answer to ev
ery njan thaf asketh you * reason of
season, and why
i* it set; apart Ti^ -> v^-j^
;. It is a period of six weeks preced
ing the anniversary of the Saviour's
death, and is. set apart as a special
session of fasting, penitence and
prayer. : .f" * " ^ ^Vv
Why ia,H called Lent? V
Because it always comes in,;the
spring of the year, and the old Saxon
word Lent means spring.
With what remarkable event in the
Saviour's life does the Lenten season
correspond?
The forty days which He spent fast
ing-in the wilderness
Why is the first day of Lent called
Ash Wednesday ?
It is called so. from the custom
whiclHirevaied in the early church of
the sprinkling of ashes on the heads
of penitents the first day of Lent, in
token of huhiiliation^ and sorrow for
sin.
Are there any examples of this cus
tom mentioned in the Bibl^ ? 10 I
Yes; the-example of Daniel and Da
vid mid the people of Ninevahj to
which our Lord Himself refers (St.
Matt IlrgL
_ How sflould tne L<encen season u?
observed by Christian people?
As i special season for drawing
near to God by extraordinary acts of
penitence, charity and religious de
votion; by fasting and abstinence
from public places of amusement, and
from all things that tend to draw
away the heart from .God.
What is' the object of keeping
Lent?
To deepen the religious life, to puri
fy the heart from sin, ana to unite us
more closely to the Saviour. \
Why does the church require us to
observe the Lenten fast?
(1). Because repentance and hu
miliation are essential to the growth
in grace ; and
(2). because these duties are apt
to be neglected and1 forgotten unless
some special time is set apart for
their observance'.
What objection do people some
times urge against the observance of
the Lenten fast?
They say. that it is a useless and
superstitious custom, and that Ghrist
nowhere commanded' His disciples to
fast ' ..
What answer do we make to this
objection?
Fasting was a common prac
extern ^
tiops for ifc has the highest: of divine
What is the effect of a Lenten sea- j
son rightly Jcept?
It purifies the heart front, greed and I
lust, breaks the. force of evil habit I
and brings us near to Christ, and cre
ates.* eloser bond ol) union between
our souls and heaven.
% How. long has the custom of keep
ing Lent been observed by the church ?
v.We know that it was observed in
the first century after" Christ; J - S3 I
