6 WEEKS - Feb. 17-April 4

Please use this SOCIAL MEDIA FAST Sign Up Genius to let us know you joined this challenge.

Lent is a period of preparation for Easter (April 4, 2021) and begins on Feb. 17 (Ash Wednesday). Fasting is a common Lenten practice and applies to more than giving up our favorite foods. When we fast from an addictive food or habit, it is helpful to replace it with a healthier one. 

Your challenge for the 6 weeks of Lent is to fast from all forms of Social Media (Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, etc.) and pray one decade of the rosary/week - of course you can pray it more often.
In other words, "When the phone is away, pray!"

There are two options for this fast:

• Fast for an entire day (it can be the same day each week or a different day each week) - pray a minimum of one decade of the rosary on that day
• Fast for a few hours each day (for example, turn off your phone a few hours before bed and leave it somewhere other than your room overnight) - pray a minimum of one decade of the rosary during the week.

Here is a 2 minute video on How to Pray the rosary. And here is a VISUAL GUIDE to the Prayers and Mysteries. If you need a rosary, let us know and we'll be happy to give you one.
